Located at 1355 Maple Hill Road, the popular 3.5-acre neighborhood park was built in the early 1980s. It features playground equipment, basketball and pickleball courts, a BBQ grill and picnic tables.

The proposed improvement project will replace the aging restroom building and playground equipment, and create accessible paths of travel to park amenities.

Residents and park visitors are encouraged to attend a drop-in public input session that will take place 2-4 p.m. on Wednesday, December 13 at Maple Hill Park where the conceptual design plans will be on display and project team members will be able to answer projectrelated questions and receive feedback.

For those who want to provide feedback on the proposed park improvements but are unable to attend the in-person session, the City will make an online survey available December 11-15.

For more information about the project and a link to the survey, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/maplehill.

Shop Locally this Holiday Season Did you know that shopping locally makes a significant positive difference in the community?

When you shop locally, most of the money from your purchase stays in town and helps create jobs and allow businesses to continue to support local sports teams and nonprofit causes.

Additionally, every time you make a purchase and sales tax is applied, 1% of the tax you pay is returned to the community by way of sales tax revenue. This revenue is then used to fund services that contribute to Diamond Bar’s high quality of life such as law enforcement, road repairs, streetscape enhancements, and park improvements.

Not sure where Diamond Bar shopping centers are located? Visit www.diamondbarca.gov/gis to access an online interactive map of the 27 shopping centers in town.

Live Holiday Tree Collection

Instant Solar Permits Now Available

Weekly Street Sweeping Residents are reminded that residential streets will be swept weekly for two months starting December 1.

The practice of switching from biweekly sweeping during the months of February to November to weekly sweeping in December and January aims to address the increase of wind-blown debris that occurs in winter months.

Everyone is asked to do their part to ensure the City’s street sweeping program operates as effectively as possible by keeping their cars off streets scheduled for sweeping. Signs indicating day and time of no parking due to sweeping are posted throughout town.

A free magnet schedule noting street sweeping weeks is available for pick up at various community locations, including City Hall (21810 Copley Drive), Diamond Bar Library (21800 Copley Drive) and Diamond Bar Center (1600 Grand Avenue).

Live Holiday Tree Collection As part of the regular trash collection service, the City’s two waste haulers will be picking up real holiday trees set out for collection for two weeks following Christmas Day. Trees should not be flocked, bagged or wrapped, and must be free of stands, decorations, lights, and tinsel. Also, trees longer than seven feet in length must be cut in half.

For more information, call Waste Management at (800) 266-7551 or Valley Vista at (800) 442-6454.

Free Extra Trash Collection Waste Management customers who find themselves with extra trash generated by holiday festivities can take advantage of a free End-of-the-Year Trash Collection service.

The free pickup is available for two weeks starting December 26 with advance scheduling made at least 24 hours before a regular collection day. The extra trash is limited to up to three large bags or boxes and must be general household waste. Other waste such as bulky items, hazardous materials and electronics are not eligible for pickup as part of this service.

For more information or to schedule this free service, contact Waste Management at (800) 266-7551.

AQMD Program Incentivizes Cleaner Transportation Options

The City now offers an expedited permitting process for most residential solar installation projects.

In late September, the City launched SolarAPP+, an online portal designed to provide a code-compliance check for most roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panel installations with or without an energy storage system.

SolarAPP+ speeds up the permitting process by allowing licensed solar contractors or installers to submit their system design through the online portal and pay a processing fee of $25. If the design meets certain requirements, approval documents will be promptly issued.

Once the solar plan is approved by SolarAPP+, individuals can apply and pay for an Instant Solar permit through the City’s online permitting portal.

To learn more and view a list of the systems that are eligible to use the automated SolarAPP+ portal for instant permitting, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/permits and click on the Instant Solar Permit (ISP) link on the left-hand menu.
