Halloween was a Blast!
Thank you for coming out!
Halloween on Webster St. by far surpassed our expectations! What a joy to see so many costumed kids enjoy the event in The Healing Garden, then to "Trick-or-Treat" up and down Webster at participating businesses. A great start to the holiday season!

The City of Alameda staff will update the City Council on the parklet program and the plans to restripe Park Street and Webster Street. Staff are also requesting authorization to purchase concrete barriers that will be placed around the parklets, replacing the existing white water-filled barriers.
Staff refined the street restriping concepts approved by Council in July, and they now show the locations of new yellow, green and blue curbs along or near Park Street and Webster Street - these can be found in the exhibits to the staff report. In their update, staff will also address high-level parklet design guidance, fees and the proposed new parklet license provision to explicitly require public access at all times.

A Message from Doug Biggs, Alameda Wellness Center
Site work began on the 1245 McKay Ave. Alameda Wellness Center on October 30th. Specifically, we will start with abatement inside building one, which will last for about a month to 6 weeks, after which we will begin demolition. Construction of the new building will begin towards the end of this year or early next year and will be completed 16-18 months after that. All work is being done in compliance with permits issued by the City of Alameda, and in accordance with the environmental mitigations ordered by the City. A copy of the mitigation measures has been posted on our website. You can view the building plans and other information at caringalameda.org.
We have also established a construction hotline at (510) 227-5484. Please call this number with any concerns, complaints or questions you may have, and of course you can always email me directly at dbiggs@apcollaborative.org. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Please read on to discover more upcoming events and local businesses. As always, it's a pleasure to advocate and represent West Alameda, a neighborhood I personally call home. WABA - creating community through business!
