Redwood Heights News

by Marion Lee

The Redwood Heights Improvement Association has elected a new president. Richard Cowan accepted the appointment at January's board meeting. Richard is well known and respected in the Laurel/Redwood Heights area. He is active with the Laurel Community Action Project (L-CAP) and has been an RHIA board member for two years. An update on the RHIA Landscaping Committee: The Covenant Church has offered to have a trash receptacle placed on their property adjacent to the bus stop. We hope this will discourage students from tipping the container over into the street. We would like to see another container placed at the bus stop across from the Rec. Center. The CalTrans fence on Mountain Blvd. has been repaired; maintenance in the CalTrans areas has been increased; and with completion of the sound wall along Aliso, landscaping will be started there. The committee is dedicated to improving all the landscaping in our area, and we owe them a big thank-you for their efforts on our behalf. A reminder: Our beautifully remodelled Redwood Heights School will host a Multicultural Fair on Saturday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with arts, crafts, music, and wonderful homemade food. Don't miss it!
