Our first Red Phone caller of the week, concerned about the condition of area roadways, asked the Crimson Crusader to get something done about the potholes and bumps on Sunnyslope Road near the Little ‘Baler Preschool.
The Crimson Crusader made a quick call to Ray Rojas at Public Works to see what could be done. Sunnyslope Road is a tough one, Rojas said; pockets of the road belong to the city and other portions of the road belong to the county. Rojas said he would take a look at the section of road and make the sure the proper agency, either the city or the county, knew about the problems.
Floral Enthusiast
Our next Red Phone caller, concerned with all things aesthetic, asked the Crimson Crusader to get something done about the weed-choked rose garden at Dunne Park in Hollister. Our caller volunteered to help the city clean up the garden and suggested the city organize a volunteer day that would allow local residents to take care the problem.
Again, the Crimson Crusader made a call to Ray Rojas at the Hollister Public Works Department. Rojas said volunteer days are a possibility and thanked our dear caller for dedication to beautification of area parks. He suggested our caller get in touch with Marcelo Orta at the Public Works Department to discuss plans for a possible volunteer rose garden revitalization day. Orta can be reached at (831) 636-4370.
Lights on, Lights off
Our final Red Phone caller of the week, concerned with a local street light that turns on in the morning and turns off at night, asked the Crimson Crusader to find out who was responsible for Hollister street lights and how she could get the street light in front of her home fixed.
The Crimson Crusader did some research and found out that energy giant Pacific Gas and Electric is responsible for most of the street lights in Hollister. The company operates more than 670,000 such street lights throughout its service area, but fixing a problematic light isn’t a problem. Visit www.pge.com to report the problem. Have information about the location of the light, the type of light and specific details about the problem ready before visiting the site.
