Alameda Police Department (APD) Chief Paul Rolleri will be hosting a series of informal town-hall community meetings in the coming months. APD will host these meetings in different parts of the city so residents can discuss and receive updates on the top issues in their neighborhoods.
BART will be suspending all transbay train service for five days in early August and September. No trains will run through the Transbay Tube on the weekends of Aug. 1 and 2, and Sept. 5, 6 and 7, in order to perform critical track maintenance. The dates were chosen due to the low number of expected riders on those days.
A substantial "bus bridge" is planned for passengers travelling between Oakland and San Francisco during both weekends.
The Alameda Police Department (APD) invites the public to participate in to National Night Out (NNO) on from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, APD will visit all registered neighborhoods. NNO is designed to enhance the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing a sense of community. It’s a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
