This continues to be a great time to get outside and do any yard work or garden prep for your winter vegetables. Or you can go for a pleasant walk along the tree lined streets of Rossmoor. It's a very pretty time of year. Sweepers This Week It's sweeper time in Rossmoor again. Monday and Tuesday this week the sweepers will return to clean up our streets.

Los Al Drama Presents: The Addams Family Halloween is one of the most beloved holidays in Rossmoor, bringing out creativity, costumes, and candy galore. But while it’s full of festive fun, Halloween also has a spooky side when it comes to the environment. From candy wrappers and costumes to single-use decorations, much of what we use during this season ends up in landfills—or worse, polluting our
oceans. Unlike wastewater from our homes, which is treated before it re-enters the environment, anything that goes into our storm drain system flows directly to the beach in Seal Beach without any treatment. That means every bit of trash left on the street or washed down a drain has the potential to harm wildlife and water
quality. But here’s the good news: you can still have a blast this Halloween while making smart, sustainable choices that protect our planet. Whether you’re trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, or hosting a party, these five simple tips will help make your Halloween greener—and cleaner—for everyone. Click here for the 5 simple tips...

Please always check their website for the latest information on closures and detours. Construction continues on the I-605/Katella Avenue Interchange
Project. Here’s what to expect this week:  Crews have completed the demolition of the sidewalk and are now relocating utilities on the westbound side of Katella
Avenue. This work is slated to continue for several months before the sidewalk is reconstructed later this year.
Motorist should be advised that the outside lane on westbound Katella Avenue requires them to enter the 605 north on-ramp. Additional, signs have been placed to
direct motorist to the on-ramp . Eastbound Katella Avenue Activities Contractors are planning to install temporary concrete barriers, which would reduce eastbound
Katella to one lane. Following this activity, crews will demolish the sidewalk to accommodate the new bike lane. Additional information, including pedestrian detours, will be available soon.
Crews continue work on the three retaining walls to be constructed to accommodate project improvements. These retaining walls will be built along westbound Katella Avenue within the Coyote Creek Channel. Ever wonder why the I-605/Katella Avenue Interchange Project is so important? This project will improve travel for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians by: - Modifying northbound and southbound ramps at Katella Avenue
- Adding Class II bike lanes in both directions
- Enhancing sidewalk connectivity between Coyote Creek Channel and Epson
Way
- Constructing ADA curb ramps with new signage and crosswalks
