live locally TOWN OF DANVILLE Q U A RT E R LY N E W S L E T T E R
Message from the Town Council Happy fall! Welcome to the Town of Danville’s Live Locally Newsletter. Our fall edition is where we give you a snapshot of the previous year. The center spread (pgs 6–7) gives you an overview of what has been happening in Danville, so we thought we’d also take a retrospective look at our just-ended summer and all that went on. Summer is an incredibly active time in Danville, with many exciting events and programs. The season got underway at the Town Green as we kicked off our Moonlight Movies series. Hundreds of residents enjoyed films under the stars. The Town Green also played host to one of the great performances of our Music in the Park series. Between Oak Hill Park and the Town Green, there was plenty of outstanding music to enjoy. Tens of thousands converged on our downtown for the annual Kiwanis July 4 parade. Hundreds came out the night before to enjoy our local restaurants and shops as well as putting their chairs out for the big parade. Over 150 entrants marched down the 1.5 mile parade route, with displays of martial arts, dancing, acrobatics, and music. Dozens of families appreciated being in the great outdoors at our Family Campouts. Families got a taste of urban camping at Oak Hill Park, while others enjoyed the more traditional experience during an overnight up on Mt. Diablo.

We had a phenomenal summer, and now we’re heading into a great fall. Check out all the great things coming up inside this edition as we show you how we like to Live Locally.
Art Gallery Celebrates 10 Years
Dog Park Renovation
A cultural gem in the heart of downtown Danville hits a milestone this fall as the Village Theatre Art Gallery celebrates a decade of artistic excellence.
Each winter the Town closes sports fields and the Hap Magee Ranch Park Canine Corral to allow the grass time to heal from heavy use during the year and perform renovation work.
November 14, 2019 marks the 10-year anniversary of the opening of the Art Gallery. In 2009, the historic Village Theatre underwent a remodel that created space for a larger lobby leading into the theatre, with the intention of offering visitors an opportunity to enjoy the visual arts in addition to the performing arts. While the gallery shares space with the Village Theatre, it functions as an independent venue hosting its own art gallery receptions for each new exhibition and creating the opportunity for the community to meet the artists, curators, and staff. In the decade since its inception, the gallery has become an arts hub in the community, showing 6-7 exhibitions each year, featuring a dazzling array of work, from glass art to quilts to children’s storybook illustrations. To mark the anniversary of this outstanding town amenity, the Village Theatre Art Gallery is hosting an Anniversary Party on Thursday, November 14, 2019. The event is free, and the community is encouraged to attend.
This year, new sod will be installed in the large dog park and grass seed will be planted in the small dog park. The winter closure allows the grass an opportunity to take root and become established prior to daily use by dozens of our furry friends. In addition to the grass renovation, several other projects will be completed during the closure. Maintenance projects such as replenishing bark mulch, refinishing benches, repairing fences and pathways, and tree work will also be completed. The dog park will close for the season on December 2, 2019, with the re-opening scheduled (weather permitting) for February 28, 2020.
How You Can Be Ecologically Friendly During the Rainy Season The rainy weather will do the earth some good, but so can you—here are some key facts you need to know.
2
1) LEAKY CARS LEAD TO MORE POLLUTION THAN OIL SPILLS. Most of the oil that seeps into North American oceans each year stems from human activity, such as the motor oil leaking from our cars and onto the road every day. Rain helps carry that oil into waterways. Check your car for leaks now and get them fixed. 2) THE RAINY SEASON’S THE BEST TIME TO GO PESTICIDE-FREE. Rain speeds up the flow of chemical residues from your lawn and garden into storm drains. To curb
the use of water-polluting pesticides, opt for organic pesticides, lure ladybugs and birds into your garden, and in the spring, plant certain veggies side-by-side to naturally repel insects. Remember pesticides linger. If you hire pest control, protect your family and look for an eco-certified professional. For more information go to www.cccleanwater.org/pesticideslinger/.
Video Detection Helps Keep Cyclists Safe The Town of Danville has long been a destination for cyclists, whether it be weekend road bikers, families riding to town for the farmers’ market, or those riding to/from work or school. Recognizing that use, the Town is working to make cycling safer through a video camera detection system. The Town recently installed 12 camera detection systems at seven key intersections along major cycling routes. When a cyclist comes to a stop, the devices provide traffic signal activation, while at the same time notifying the cyclist that they have been detected. INTERSECTIONS WITH VIDEO DETECTION AND BIKE INDICATION: No. Intersection

USING OUR ALPR SYSTEM DAN LYNCH Danville Police Officer In April 2018, I was working night time patrol on the weekend shift. A local business downtown was broken into and several items were stolen. The business owner was able to provide me with a grainy photo of a suspect vehicle. I was able to use our ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) system to identify the only vehicle that matched the suspect vehicle in the area during the burglary. I entered the vehicle as a felony wanted vehicle in a statewide database. The next night the vehicle was stopped in a neighboring jurisdiction and the suspect was identified. As a result of the investigation, we were able to file burglary charges on the suspect and hold him accountable for stealing from our Danville business. It was great to have a resource like ALPR that allowed me to make a case when otherwise I would not have been able to do so. For more information on the ALPR system, contact Lieutenant Doug Muse at (925) 314-3700 or dmuse@danville.ca.gov.
Because of the popularity of this event, no walk-ins are allowed. Pre-registration is required. Participants

DON’T LET THIEVES INTO YOUR SHOPPING CART A trip to the grocery store can turn into a nightmare if your wallet or purse is stolen from your shopping cart while you are looking for the freshest fruits. In a recent trend, thieves have been targeting grocery shoppers, stealing wallets from unattended shopping carts, and quickly using bank cards to drain accounts. To protect against this type of crime, the Danville PD has a few safety tips:
1
Only take necessary payment cards or cash with you to shop
2
Keep wallets in your pocket or purse
3 4 5
Consider using cross-body purse straps for extra security Place larger purses or backpacks in the cart under the child seat Keep all compartments zipped shut until you’re in the checkout line
Most importantly, stay alert, and keep your cart and personal belongings in sight at all times. If you feel someone is uncomfortably close to you or is unusually attentive to your activity, move from the area and report it to store employees. For more information, contact Crime Prevention Specialist Amy Ballock at aballock@danville.ca.gov.

Residents will be able to enjoy a lovely strolling experience on the redone asphalt at Osage Station Park.
Sprucing Up Our East Side Trails East side trail users may have noticed some smoother walking as the Town has recently completed rehabilitation of two popular local trails. Improvements at Osage Station Park consisted of removing the existing 3,000 linear foot asphalt pathway and putting in a brand new one. In addition, a segment of the path on the east side of Osage Station Park was relocated to prevent the path from being affected by ongoing creek bank erosion.
Work was also done on East Side Trail. Located south of Camino Tassajara between Rassani Drive and Tassajara Ranch Drive, the improvements on East Side Trail consisted primarily of the overlay of new asphalt over the existing 1,440 linear foot trail. This helped to smooth out wear and tear and make for a more even walking surface. Both projects were completed as part of the Town’s Capital Improvement Program. For more information, contact City Engineer Steven Jones at (925) 314-3339.
INTERACTIVE GIS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MAP The Town of Danville’s Engineering Division has launched a new interactive map to keep residents informed about Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects throughout the Town. The map includes several projects in the Town’s current 5-year CIP such as upcoming construction and ongoing maintenance projects.
Viewers can select projects by zooming into the map and clicking on location icons or lines, filter projects by type, and click on a project thumbnail. Information regarding the project description, contact information, as well as schedule information for each project is provided. The interactive map can be accessed by going to the Town’s CIP page: www.danville.ca.gov/cip.
Scam Alert: Danville Library Don’t Be Fooled Improvements Criminals use clever schemes to defraud millions of people every year. They often combine new technology with old tricks to get people to send money or give out personal information. Don’t be fooled—and don’t give out your personal information. No government agency will call to ask for immediate payment of money, gift cards or ID information. When you receive a phone call from a scammer, it may look as though it’s coming from a legitimate phone number. This is a tactic called “spoofing”, where criminals use technological means to hide their identity. In most cases, these crimes involve an individual calling to claim there is an issue, either involving a family member, bank accounts, or even your computer. The person will tell you that to resolve it you will need to provide money, or ID information. Do NOT do this. Instead, hang up and contact the agency through their publicly posted contact number to ask if the phone call was legitimate. Or contact the Danville Police Department and speak with an officer. Bottom line, no government agency (local, state, or federal) will call a resident to demand immediate payment. For more information on preventing scams, contact Crime Prevention Specialist Amy Ballock at (925) 314-3700.
Patrons of the Danville Library are enjoying some new amenities as the library’s Mt. Diablo room has undergone a facelift and the library front entrance has undergone an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) retrofit.
The work done over the spring & summer is part of the Town’s Capital Improvement Program. THE MT. DIABLO ROOM PROJECT INCLUDED: New 60-inch display monitor for presentations and internet access
New mahogany presentation podium with pull out shelves to support a laptop
New 30 x 60 tables for classroom or theatre-style seating
New conference/classroom chairs with flexible backrests, padded seats and contour support
New paint, carpeting and cabinets THE FRONT ENTRANCE PROJECT INCLUDED: New ADA open access technology on the exterior and interior front doors, designed to allow ease of access for users with disabilities
The ADA access technology has been installed at the Danville Community Center and will be installed at the Danville Senior Center in fall 2019. The 576 square-foot rental facility is a perfect venue for meetings, classes, or training sessions. For reservation questions, contact Facilities Rentals & Management (925) 314-3405.
STORM PREP Town of Danville maintenance staff work at removing debris and obstructions from a local creek before the winter rains begin. Each year, the Town maintains almost six miles of creeks and ditches.
MAYOR’S INSTALLATION & COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS Come out and celebrate members of our community as they are honored for their service to Danville. The annual Mayor’s Installation & Community Service Awards will be held at 7:00 p.m. on December 3, 2019 at the Village Theatre & Art Gallery.

Renovating Hap Magee Ranch Park Play Area SHEDDING LIGHT ON PEDESTRIAN SAFETY In the State of California, a driver must yield to a pedestrian crossing the road at an intersection. However, the situation may turn problematic if the driver does not see the pedestrian due to inattention or distraction. The Town of Danville is working to enhance safety at several key pedestrian crossings through the use of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). RRFBs feature flashing, high intensity LED bars, and are used to supplement warning signs at uncontrolled intersections or mid-block crosswalks. A pedestrian push button and/or sensor activates the RRFB when a pedestrian enters the crosswalk, alerting the driver. Between April and September of 2019, the Town modified or installed seven existing RRFBs at the following locations: 1. Hartz Avenue and Prospect Avenue
4. Rassani Drive
2. Railroad Avenue at Clocktower Parking Lot
5. Front Street at the Danville Library
3. Parkhaven Drive
7. Railroad Avenue and School Street
6. Hartz Avenue and Linda Mesa Avenue
Additionally, there are plans to modify and upgrade three existing RRFB systems along the Iron Horse Trail at Greenbrook Drive, El Capitan Drive and Paraiso Drive.
One of Danville’s popular playgrounds is currently getting a facelift as construction is underway for the renovation of the Hap Magee Ranch Park play area. This large scale rehabilitation project includes replacement of both age group play areas, as well as the relocation of the sand play area away from the water features. The project is a collaboration between both the Town of Danville and Contra Costa County. Maintenance of the park is jointly overseen and funded by the Town of Danville and the County. As such, the conceptual plans created by NUVIS Landscape Architecture and Planning, were approved by both the Town’s Parks and Leisure Services Commission and the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council. Work is ongoing with the playground expected to reopen later this winter. For more information on this project, contact Maintenance Services Director Dave Casteel at (925) 314-3434 or dcasteel@danville.ca.gov.
For more information on RRFBs, contact the Transportation Department at (925) 314-3310.
Halloween Safety COSTUME SAFETY TIPS:
1 2 3 4 8
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY:
Ensure costumes are made of fire retardant material
5
Make sure costumes are the right size; excess material around the legs can be a tripping hazard
Stay in large groups when traveling through the neighborhood to increase visibility
6
Remain in well-lit areas and always use sidewalks where possible
7
Avoid cutting across yards or alleyways
8
Only cross the street in designated crosswalks and in groups
9
Don’t assume right of way, motorists may not see you; be sure to make eye contact with a driver before crossing the street
Avoid masks if possible and use face paint instead; masks can restrict a child’s vision Don’t allow costume props that are sharp or too heavy
REMEMBER:
10
An adult should always accompany young children; if older children will be trick-or-treating alone, be sure to review the route with them beforehand and schedule check-in times
11
Be sure trick-or-treaters are only visiting homes where porch lights are on and never enter a home or car for a treat
12
Notify law enforcement immediately if you notice any suspicious or unlawful activity
ARTS & REC ARE ON THE GO! Going to the park with your little ones has never been more fun, now that the Arts & Rec on the Go program is visiting all our Danville parks.
Developing A Vision of the Future of Cycling in Danville With a mild climate and generally flat topography, Danville truly is a wonderful place to ride a bike for both recreational purposes and as a means of transportation. With a large network of multiuse paths, bike lanes, and bike routes, Danville continues to work towards enhancing bicycle infrastructure and promoting bicycling as a viable and comfortable way to get around town. This fall, the Town will be taking that one step further by planning out the future of cycling in the community through development of its first Bicycle Master Plan. Development of the plan will include working with the community developing strategies to encourage bicycling, seek input on how to improve existing
bicycle facilities, and outline a long-range vision and plan for future bicycle infrastructure improvements and programs. By harnessing the community’s collective knowledge and insights, the plan will develop a vision and implementation strategy that matches the needs and expectations of the community. The Bicycle Master Plan will be funded through a grant that was procured through Measure J, the Contra Costa County half-cent transportation sales tax program. For more information about the Town of Danville Bicycle Master Plan, contact the Transportation Department at (925) 314-3310.
Using the ‘pop-up’ approach, this fun program arrives at an area park with all the materials and equipment to provide hours of fun for 3–12 year old patrons. Over the past two years, Arts & Rec on the Go has provided activities at Danville’s parks, as well as at fun community events like Earth Day, Moonlight Movies, and National Night Out. Activities have included frisbee golf, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, and an obstacle course. Want to know how to find out where it will pop up next? Simply follow the Town of Danville on Facebook (@townofdanvilleca) or the Recreation, Arts & Community Services Department on Instagram (@danvilleparksca) for upcoming dates and locations.

ART IS FOR EVERYONE!
HOW TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF PACKAGE THEFT Thieves have a new favorite place to shop—your front porch.

Here are five tips to reduce your chance of falling victim to “porch pirates.”
1
Have packages delivered to your workplace.
2
Shop online and choose the ‘pick up in store’ option.
3
Install a motionactivated security camera system.
4
Ask a trusted neighbor to pick up packages.
5
Request ‘signature upon delivery.’

Fall is the favorite season for many, and with good reason: cool crisp days, cloudy skies and everything in nature signaling change with abundance and color. As the days get shorter and chillier, we covet warm fabrics and comfortable styles. Who doesn’t love to pull on a sweater and snuggle up with a book and a throw? Or finally pack away the shorts and flipflops and indulge that craving for cute flannel, jeans, boots and jackets? Fall is also the season for crackling, amber fires and comfort food shared with family and friends. While you’re crunching through the leaves, Live Locally and explore Danville’s stores this autumn.
