NEW Skyline Hills Branch Library Coming Soon — Your Input is Needed! I am thrilled to announce that a process is currently underway to deliver a brand new Skyline Hills Branch Library to residents of the Fourth District. The current 4,400 square foot branch library is no longer sufficient for our growing community and changing needs/technology. The City of San Diego has identified $10 million for the design and construction of this new facility. The proposed new Skyline Hills Branch Library is to be in a 3.3 acres property located at 7600 Paradise Valley Road at the intersection of Meadowbrook Drive and Paradise Valley Road (adjacent to the existing library). The Project involves the demolition of the existing site and the construction of a new one story 15,000 square foot library in addition to a new parking lot and landscaped areas. Beyond these details, what exactly will this facility look like and what amenities will be included? Well, that is up to you! I encourage you to join me at an upcoming meeting to provide input about what features you would like to see included in and on the new library. The City has identified three eligible design-build firms who will compete to do the work. They will also be in attendance to hear from residents. I hope to see you there. Together, we can build a community resource that we can all be proud of!

Back-to-School Safety Transportation Safety Checklist Whether children walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is extremely important that they take proper safety precautions. Here are some tips to make sure your child safely travels to school.

Walking to School * Review your family’s walking safety rules * Walk on the sidewalk, if one is available; when walking on a street with no sidewalk, walk

facing the traffic * Before you cross the street, stop and look all ways to see if cars are coming * Never dart out in front of a parked car * Practice walking to school with your child

Riding the bus to school * Go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus. * Make sure your children stand six feet away from the curb. * If your child and you need to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the side of the road

until you are at least 12 feet ahead of the bus. You always should be able to see the bus driver, and the bus driver always should be able to see you.

Riding a bicycle to school * Make sure your child always wears his helmet when leaving the house * Teach your children the rules of the road * Ride on the right side of the road and in a single file * Come to a complete stop before crossing the street

NUEVA Biblioteca de Skyline Hills Próximamente – ¡Necesitamos su Contribución!

Estoy muy emocionada de anunciar que el proceso para renovar la biblioteca de Skyline Hills está en marcha. La

biblioteca actual de 4,400 pies cuadrados ya no es suficiente para nuestra comunidad creciente y los cambios

en necesidades y tecnología.

La Cuidad de San Diego ha identificado $10 millones para el diseño y construcción de esta instalación nueva. La

propuesta nueva para la biblioteca de Skyline Hills es estar en una propiedad de 3.3 acres en 7600 Paradise

Valley Road en la intersección de Meadowbrook Drive y Paradise Valley Road (adyacente a la biblioteca actual).

El Proyecto involucra la demolición del sitio actual y la construcción de una nueva biblioteca de un piso

midiendo 15,000 pies cuadrados en adición de un estacionamiento nuevo y zonas ajardinadas. Más allá de

estos detalles, ¿exactamente como se mirara esta instalación y que comodidades estarán incluidas? ¡Bueno,

eso depende de ustedes! Los animo a que me acompañen a la próxima junta para aportar ideas acerca de las

características que ustedes quisieran incluidas en la biblioteca nueva. La Cuidad ha identificado tres empresas

de diseño y construcción elegibles quien competirán para hacer el trabajo. Ellos estarán en atendencia de la

junta para escuchar de los residentes. Espero verlos ahí. ¡Juntos, podemos construir un recurso comunitario en

el cual podemos estar orgullosos!

Bagong sangay ng aklatan ng Skyline Hills ABANGAN! Kailangan ng iyong kaalaman! Ako'y nagagalak na ianunsiyo ang pag dating ng bagong sanga ng aklatan ng Skyline Hills sa ika-apat na distrito. Ang ngayong 4,400 sq ft na aklatan ay hindi na sapat para sa ating lumalaking kumunidad at makabagong pangangailangan sa teknolohiya. Ang siyudad ng San Diego ay nakakalap ng $10 milyong dolyar para sa desenyo at instraktura ng bagong pasilidad. Ang bagong sangay ng aklatan ay magiging 3.3 ektarya sa 7600 Paradise Valley Road at kanto ng Meadowbrook Dr. At Paradise Valley Rd. Kailangang gibain ang kasalukuyang aklatan at idadagdag ang 15,000 sq ft para sa parking lot. Maliban dito, ano ang magiging itsura at amenidad ng pasilidad? Ayan ay nasasa inyo! Iniimbitahan ko kayo na samahan ako at pumunta sa darating na pagpupulong para magbigay nang ideya o kaalaman na makakatulong sa pagtayo ng bagong sangay ng aklatan. Ang siyudad ay may tatlong kompanya na pwedeng mag dedisenyo o gumawa ng trabaho. Sila rin ay dadalo sa pagpupulong para marinig ang inyong mga kagustuhan. Sana kayo ay makita ko. Sa ating pagkakapit bisig ay tayo ay makakagawa ng bagay na ating ipagmamalaki!
