Roof Shake Timber

We will re-roof One Shake at a Time!

This good bridge, our savior and homecoming since originally built in 1892 has served us ever since.

Felton and the whole of San Lorenzo Valley can celebrate as our good neighbors have lent their efforts towards a massive renewal of the Felton Covered Bridge. Good citizens all pledged to re-roof our iconic and soundly loved conveyance –

This good bridge, our savior and homecoming since originally built in 1892 has served us ever since. No longer a forging of the river needed, no longer hours and days spent sidelining along the river for a safe passage, the Covered Bridge turned graceful and old, but no less valued and now it becomes revered by all of this Nation, as it is now known as America’s tallest Covered Bridge – and one of only 11 such in this great State of California.

Neighborhood Security

April 29, 2014
Emeline Neighbors Meeting

County Supervisor McPherson shared some changes with the needle exchange program that are under review for implementation with action by the Board expected in June:
  • Reducing days of needle exchange operation at Emeline from 5 to 2
  • Implementing a mobile needle exchange service for countywide service
  • Identifying a responsible non-profit to carry out operation of mobile service
  • Identifying more kiosk locations. [The County stated that in 10 months of operation, the kiosk collected 67,000 needles]
  • Identifying funding to install a fence surrounding the Emeline campus
  • Identifying funding to continue the increased security patrols of the campus
The County is also pursing solutions that are directly out of the County’s hands, for instance, the ability of pharmacies to dispense large numbers of needles and the lack of exchange requirement in pharmacies (state law).

From The Rubble, a New Service Emerges: Celebrating 25 Years of The Highway 17 Express Service

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused devastating destruction to our community; loss of lives, loss of property and a loss of infrastructure. But it also brought out the best in our community, with neighbors helping each other in recovery and organizations collaborating to restore normalcy to our lives. This same spirit of collaboration and community was the catalyst that gave birth to our beloved Highway 17 Express commuter bus service.
