PIEDMONT
The city of Piedmont will start its paving project on or around July 1. Work related to the removal of 18 designated trees on Magnolia Avenue will be the first order of business. Residents were informed of the process, and objections resulted in fewer trees being removed. Work will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. with “No Parking” signs posted in the areas of work. Control personnel will be on duty for those who need to come and go. Expect some noise and dust during the work. For questions, contact Public Works Director Chester Nakahara at 510-420-3061 or cnakahara@piedmont.ca.gov.
