On April 2, 2015, a resident reported that young children and climbed into the storm water basin on Durley and Wessex. Salida MAC Chairman, Katherine Borges sent a request to Stanislaus County Public Works. Repair work on the basin's slats began on April 8, and new "No Trespassing" signs were installed within 2 weeks. The Salida Municipal Advisory Council appreciates Stanislaus County Public Works' prompt attention to this matter.
Salida MAC Chair, Katherine Borges, reported to Stanislaus County Department of Public Works that several street lights had burned out in neighborhoods around Sisk School: Edna Court, Sugar Creek Court, and the intersection of Durley and Wessex. Thanks to Public Works for taking care of this issue immediately. The missing sign and gaping hole in the ground was noticed and an inquiry was submitted to Stanislaus County Department of Public Works on July 23, 2014. A reply was received that the sign has been stolen and a new sign is on order. Please keep an eye out for the stolen sign and if you have any information regarding the sign, please contact [email protected] UPDATE: July 30, 2014 - A theft report has been filed with the sheriff. As requested by a resident at the June Salida MAC meeting, the graffiti on the back of Salida Home Market has been painted over. The newly re-established Salida Chamber of Commerce has implemented a program in conjunction with LoveSalida to partner in graffiti removal from Salida businesses. At the June 24th Salida MAC meeting, a resident complained about all the shopping carts abandoned around Salida. With much thanks going to Salida Chamber of Commerce board member, John Martin, the carts were collected by John and returned to the stores from which they came. Salida MAC Chair, Katherine Borges assisted by removing the trash from the carts before loading on the trailer. Please report any additional abandoned shopping carts to: [email protected] A resident in the neighborhood near Fattoria inquired as to why the "STOP" on the streets in this neighborhood were being repainted when the street is scheduled to be resurfaced in just a few weeks. Stanislaus County Public Works reported that another resident had complained about cars running the stop because the paint was so faded so Public Works repainted only a few in this area as a safety measure. The repainted stop pictured here is at the intersection of Fattoria and Vigna. Salida MAC councilmember, Katherine Borges discussed and received approval from Stanislaus County Supervisor, Terry Withrow for placemarker signs for Salida and Wood Colony in July 2013. Other than two signs on Freeway 99 and one that is currently removed from Kiernan/Hwy 219, there are no other signs to denote the two LAFCO designated "Communities of Interest" boundaries. For example, on Murphy and Dakota, drivers don't know the boundaries of when they are leaving Salida and entering Wood Colony. Or on Sisk near Pelandale where the boundary is between Salida and Modesto. Councilmember Borges then submitted the request to Stanislaus County Public Works on August 12, 2013 and resubmitted again on March 17, 2014 at which point, the signs were ordered by Public Works Director, Matt Machado. Residents of Wood Colony chose the historic signs and Director Machado recommended the green municipal type signs for Salida. Four signs for Salida and three signs for Wood Colony were installed on May 15, 2014. |
