Hi
Happy Holidays!
Our Rossmoor Winter Festival
set the joyous tone for Rossmoor this year with snow, food, and great fun. Thanks again to the RCSD Team and the volunteers for putting all this fun together for us to enjoy.
Stay tuned for updates after the first of the year on our Rossmoor Community Festival which is held on the first Sunday in May each year at Rush Park. Our 2018 event will be on
Sunday May 6 and will include family entertainment, great food, our Classic Car Show, and of course the always popular and fun Dog Parade.
Street Sweeping Monday Yes indeed it is that time once again for the street sweepers to come in and clean up
Rossmoor. With the recent winds many of the leaves and seed pods have (finally) made their way to the ground and into the streets. Please remove your vehicles from the Rossmoor streets so we can get all the debris cleaned up. Thanks!

information first, so keep checking there.

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.

Rossmoor residents Bernie Beskind & Herb Halling coordinate the weekly Rossmoor Walk &
Talk meet ups at Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 AND...
Thursday afternoons at 4:00 p.m.
Both meet at Rush Park - That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.
The idea 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 or Herb will be happy to help you out. It's a real
Win-Win This great 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 AND every Thursday at 4:00 p.m. both at Rush Park. |

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.
