Hi
Happy New Year's to you and yours.
This year has launched with a bang - a bit of rain, cold nights, and a lot of joy and expectations.
Welcome to 2017 Rossmoor!
Local Building Projects
As
many of you know, there are now two proposed projects in the cities adjoining Rossmoor that will impact at least traffic in and around Rossmoor.:
The 605 Village Project
First, the 605 Village Project which has been working its way through the approval process in Los Alamitos. This project will build a strip mall with Whole Food’s Market 365 as one of the
anchor stores. The project is located on the former GTE/ SuperPages grounds on the north side of Katella between the 605 North Freeway on ramp and Oak Street and south of the Oak Middle School fields.
The City Planning Commission approved the project and there was an appeal filed by a Seal Beach resident citing that the traffic and the signage impacts from the project have not been properly
addressed.
A number of residents of Rossmoor and adjacent communities have expressed concern regarding the traffic impacts this project will create on Katella. Also of concern is the shopping center’s high pylon sign potential for glare shining onto the north section of Rossmoor.
The issue will be addressed at the Los Alamitos City Council meeting on Tuesday January 17th at 6:00 p.m. Please attend and voice any opinions or concerns you may have about this
project.
LA Fitness Health Club @ The Shops Yes, our friends at the Shops at Rossmoor and LA Fitness have resubmitted essentially the same proposal that was withdrawn last fall.
Please get the details and comment if you wish prior to the January 30 public comment deadline. More details and links here on the RHA site
Coyote Sightings &
Reporting It seems that with the cold the coyotes are not in the neighborhood as much, or we are just not outside as often as we have been. I say that because there have been no coyote reports in the past month or so.Please continue to report any Rossmoor coyote sightings to the Rossmoor Wildlife Watch team here: RossmoorWildlife.org/report

Rossmoor residents Bernie Beskind & Herb Halling coordinates the weekly Rossmoor Walk &
Talk meeting at Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30. That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.
NEW WALK ADDED!
Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. at Rush Park, there is a new group of walkers. Plan to join them next Thursday to walk and talk
The program is simple enough, whoever attends forms groups of 2-4 people and walk around Rush Park and they talk. How long they walk, how fast they walk, and what they talk about is up to them. If you need a topic to talk about,
Bernie will be happy to help you out. It's a real Win-Win Bernie's idea creates an informal way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise at the same time. It could
save or at least extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really great people. And that is a huge win-win. Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages. The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park. If you have questions, please email Bernie (BernieB_90720@yahoo.com), or come see him on Tuesdays at 10:30 at Rush Park. Bernie will be the energetic guy with glasses, short hair, long in years and walking slowly. |

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have decreased over the past couple of months. This decrease is typical for the time of year. Unfortunately, it does not indicate the coyotes are not in Rossmoor. They are still here.
For
those of you who have made reports, THANK YOU. You are helping us track coyote behavior which is critical to any future removal attempts.
Please continue to be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight, and NO
NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).
Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program is continuing to collect reports and monitoring coyote behavior and movement based on these reports. Please continue to report any coyote
activity you see on the Rossmoor Wildlife Watch website.
If you would like to find out more about our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program and discover what we are doing, please sign up for more information.
The coyote challenge we face here in Rossmoor and throughout Southern California
does not have a magical "fix it" solution. It will take a community effort (that's you and me, not "them") to keep our pets safe and reduce the risks in our neighborhood. Please learn what you can do at your home and for everyone in Rossmoor.
Rossmoor Recycles: Saturday
1/28 |
Our next monthly Rossmoor Recycles Drive is on Saturday, January 28. Please bring your recyclable newspapers, mixed paper waste, recyclable cans,
