Hi
As the holiday spirit builds, and we look forward to giving and receiving, we need to stay alert, lend a hand and be smart for ourselves and our neighbors.
There
are a number of safety issues that have been noted in Rossmoor, many of them will be exacerbated with the additional holiday package arrivals. Please be watchful for "package thieves" who may be stocking the many delivery trucks and vans in Rossmoor. If you see something odd, PLEASE call the Sheriff's Department at 714.647.7000.
If you think there may be a crime
occurring, like someone stealing a package, please call 911 to make your report. This is exactly what the Sheriff's Department is asking us to do. Be mindful and help yourself and your neighbors by paying attention.
As it's getting dark early and we are seeing GARAGE DOORS OPEN and
vacant. Please make sure to close your garage doors to ensure the safety of your family and belongings.
Also,with holiday season travels just ahead of us, if you see papers piling up in front of your neighbor's house, please pick them up for them. Nothing says "NOBODY HOME! Come and get it!" like uncollected newspapers on the
driveway or lawn. And, if drive by thieves find easy targets in Rossmoor, they will come back - and that is not good for any of us.
Let's keep Rossmoor safe and secure by lending a hand and helping your neighbors out.
Rossmoor Recycles! - THIS Saturday Remember this month's Rossmoor Recycles event is a week early on Saturday November 18th. Please bring your

I-405 Improvement Project |
As most of you know the I-405 enhancement project has begin with the preliminary ground and soil work. The I-405 in both directions from the I-605 to SR 73 interchange will have CalTrans crews working intermittently on the shoulders and neighboring streets. Some lane and complete freeway closures will take place
as well.
The OCTA has also released a projected schedule for the bridge work along the 16 mile project path. You can see that here. Note that none of the projected work will directly impact Rossmoor or Seal Beach Blvd. However, if you plan to drive between here and SR 73 in Costa Mesa, especially in the late night and early morning hours, you may
want to check for closures on the OCTA
website.
We will provide updates here as they become available.
Once the project is completed in about 2023, there will be one additional traffic lane in each direction. The current HOV lane and an additional lane will be Toll Lanes for vehicles with
less than 3 riders.

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have decreased to almost zero over the past couple of months. The coyote gates are down and that is a big help. Other easier food sources seem to be available to the local coyotes as well. Unfortunately, reduced sightings/reports 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 DO NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).
Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program continues to collect reports and monitors
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.
