Construction of the final phase of SR 57/60 Confluence Project, Phase III, is scheduled to get underway in mid-2022 – two years earlier than scheduled – thanks to a $217.9 million grant issued last month by the California Transportation Commission as part of its 2020 Trade Corridor Enhancement Program. This competitive grant, funded through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1), closes the funding gap on this significant transportation infrastructure project with an overall cost of nearly $500 million. The three-phase 57/60 Confluence Project is more than 10 years in the making and involves a partnership among several agencies that include City of Diamond Bar, City of Industry, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and Caltrans. The confluence area is the two-mile stretch where the 57 and 60 merge causing severe congestion and delays as well as high accident rates. It is the second-highest truck accident location in Southern California with truckPhase III, is related accidents 50 percent higher than the state average, according to the California Highway Patrol. It also scheduled to ranks as the worst bottleneck for truck delays in California get underway in and the ninth worst in the nation, according to the American Transportation Research Institute. mid-2022 – two As part of Phase II, work on the project involves the years earlier than Diamond Bar Golf Course renovation which is scheduled to scheduled start in the summer, as well as the construction work within the Grand Avenue and Golden Springs Drive intersection. The intersection improvements will create a more attractive atmosphere and welcoming environment for pedestrians and cyclists - sidewalks will be widened for ADA accessibility, new decorative traffic signals with pedestrian countdown timers will be installed, and several streetscape elements will be incorporated such as colored pavers, trees and other landscaping. Phase III consists of mainline highway improvements such as widening Grand Avenue and reconstructing the bridge overcrossing, reconfiguring the Grand Avenue eastbound on/off ramps, reconstructing the eastbound SR-60 Diamond Bar Blvd. on-ramp, adding a new eastbound travel lane, and constructing several bypass lanes/connectors to significantly reduce accidents and traffic weaving, eliminate the current bottleneck, and improve overall freeway operations and safety at a location that is critical to goods movement operations across the region, state and nation. Construction for this phase is anticipated to start mid-2022 and be completed in late 2026. For more details, visit the project web page at www.metro.net/projects/sr5760.

Countywide Health Order Enforcement As part of its efforts to help minimize the spread of COVID-19, L.A. County Public Health continues to conduct on-site inspections of businesses countywide to evaluate compliance with Public Health protocols. Public Health is focused on education first but repeated failure to uphold safe and healthy practices does result in inspectors issuing citations or imposing fines. Some of the most common violations are customers and staff not wearing face coverings, lack of adequate physical distancing, absence of required signage, and failure to adhere to the maximum capacity limits. Anyone wishing to report violations of the latest Health Order may do so by calling the Public Health Customer Call Center at (888) 700-9995 Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., or filing an online complaint at http://publichealth.lacounty. gov/media/coronavirus.
COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certificate Program Available for Businesses Working or operating a business during COVID-19 can be challenging, particularly when it comes to implementing and following the latest public health requirements. In order to make it easier, the L.A. County Department of Public Health has a voluntary COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certificate Program. Launched in early September 2020, this free program allows businesses to complete an online training course to familiarize themselves with the steps necessary to make their establishment and operations as safe as possible for their staff, customers, and visitors. Upon completing the course, which is available in 13 languages, business owners receive a compliance certificate they can post on their front door or other visible location. Employees can also take the training to learn more about the public health requirements and required workplace protections. Additional COVID-19 resources for businesses, including protocols for specific sectors, free toolkits, and printable posters as well as the latest Public Health Order is available at www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/ coronavirus.
New COVID-19 Exposure Notification App Last month, the state introduced a new tool in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. This statewide voluntary tool, known as CA Notify, is an app developed by a partnership between Google and Apple that helps public health authorities alert individuals if they have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. In order to receive exposure
notifications, individuals with Androids must download the CA Notify app from the Google Play Store. iPhone users do not need to download the app; they can simply enable CA Notify through their phone’s settings. CA Notify works by using Bluetooth technology to share random codes between phones – it does not collect,
store or share personal information, location or movements. For more information about how CA Notify works, visit the California COVID Notify website at https:// canotify.uchealth.edu/ucsdh/ or call 888-421-9457. To learn how exposure notifications work, visit www.google. com/covid19/exposurenotifications.
City Meetings Via Teleconference One way of staying informed and participating in local government matters is by attending City meetings. At this time, in order to protect the public's health and to slow the spread of COVID-19, both City Council and City Commission meetings are being held virtually using GoToWebinar. Anyone interested in attending the meetings have the option of calling in or logging in using a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Instructions on how to attend remotely and provide public comment, either in advance of or during the meeting, are published on the front page of each agenda. Agendas and related materials are made available at least 72 hours prior to each scheduled meeting on the City website at www.diamondbarca.gov/meetings. Individuals interested in being notified by email or text of meeting agenda postings may sign up by visiting the www.diamondbarca.gov/notifyme. Winter/Spring 2020/2021 Diamond Bar Recreation Guide

New Restaurants, Retailers Coming to Town Local dining and shopping options are set to grow with the anticipated opening of several restaurants and retailers at different locations around town. Among the new eateries expected to open in the coming months are Delicious Food Corner that will be located in the former Coco's Restaurant location at 20955 Golden Springs Drive, Buns and Dums that will take over the building vacated by Guac’s at Diamond Hills Plaza, and Brown Rice Thai that will fill a spot previously occupied by Continental Burger at 233 Gentle Springs Lane. At the Diamond Bar Ranch shopping center anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market, a Sherwin-Williams store is scheduled to join the diverse tenant roster. It will fill the 3,600 square-foot vacant space next door to Phenix Salon Suites. Meanwhile, the finishing touches are being put on the former Big Lots property that was converted into a multitenant building. Three of the five spaces available will be occupied by Royal Business Bank, KCAL Insurance, and Grid Coffee. The finishing touches include parking lot improvements, streetscape elements, and renovation of the freestanding tenant identification sign. For the latest updates on these and other development projects, visit the City’s website homepage at www.diamondbarca.gov and click on the “Construction Projects” section above “Latest News”.

Street Sweeping Enforcement Resumes
Street sweeping parking enforcement resumes January 4. Residents are reminded to refer to the street sign on their block for the days and times of parking restrictions, and move their vehicles accordingly to avoid getting a citation. The City suspended issuance of street sweeping citations on March 16 to accommodate residents who were home due to the state’s Stay at Home Order. During this time, the increase of parked vehicles blocking the roadway has resulted in less effective sweeping. With the seasonal increase in fallen leaves and wind-blown litter, it is a critical time for street sweeping to return to normal operations. Regular and effective street sweeping plays a key role in removing leaves, trash, and particulate debris from city roadways, and preventing these from entering the storm drain system and eventually local rivers and the ocean. For more information on street sweeping including a link to an interactive schedule, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/streetsweeping. Questions may be directed to the Public Works Department at publicworks@diamondbarca.gov or (909) 839-7060.
2021 City Calendars will be Mailed
If you have a fireplace or other wood-burning device, the South Coast AQMD reminds you that its Check Before You Burn program is in effect from November through the end of February, when particulate levels are highest. This program prohibits burning wood as well as manufactured fire logs, such as those made from wax or paper during mandatory no-burn days when levels of fine particulate air pollution in the region are forecast to be high. South Coast AQMD is the air pollution control agency for Orange County and major portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. To learn when a mandatory no-burn day alert is issued, call (866) 966-3293 for a pre-recorded message that is updated every 24 hours, check out an online interactive map at www.aqmd.gov/CheckBeforeYouBurnMap or sign up to receive e-mail alerts at www.airalerts.org.
IVHS Now Offers New Pet Rehoming/Adoption Tool
The 2021 City calendar is now available and will be mailed to all Diamond Bar addresses starting the first week of January. As a reminder, City Hall and the Diamond Bar Center remain closed to the public – in line with current health and safety guidelines – and therefore in-person pickup is not an option. As in prior years, the City calendar features several of the winning images from the Diamond Bar Through My Lens (TML) contest. It also notes regularly scheduled City meetings, street sweeping days, and provides brief information about Diamond Bar government and the city’s history. If you do not receive your calendar by January 23, contact the City’s Public Information Division at (909) 839-7056 or publicinfo@diamondbarca.gov.

Now In Effect
If you need to rehome a pet because of a change in your living situation or your ability to care for them, there is now an alternative to dropping them off at the local shelter. As of last month, Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. (IVHS) now partners with Home To Home to help connect Diamond Bar residents looking to adopt pets with people needing to find new homes for their pets. Home To Home is a national rehoming program used by shelters and rescues across the nation to help keep healthy, adoptable animals out of the shelter and transition into another loving home. One of its benefits is that it allows current owners to directly communicate with potential adopters to provide firsthand information about their pets. The program is free to use and available by visiting https://ivhs.home-home.org/. Those needing to rehome, fill out a brief form and upload a picture of their pet, while those seeking to adopt use a search feature to find pets based on the type of animal, gender and age. 6
