The Council and the Commissions are off this week, but there’s a lot going on.
TUESDAY APRIL 29 – Trash Contract Public Hearing
Find out what's happening in Lake Forestwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
As required by State law, the new trash hauler must hold a public meeting and listen to any objections to the enormous rate increases for businesses in general, and small businesses in particular. The new service will start May 1. Let’s hope the new company CR&R is as good as our previous company – Waste Management received higher ratings on resident satisfaction than nearly any other activity in the City.

WEDNESDAY MAY 7 – Traffic Education Forum
6:00 pm to 7:40 pm, Foothill Ranch Library
Ever wonder why you wait so long at a light when there is no other traffic around? Or why you can’t make a left hand turn when you come out of the Ross Stores center? Or why the traffic on El Toro backs up so much, especially around Raymond and Rockfield? Or where they’re going to put the 40,000 extra vehicle trips per day that are coming our way as a result of the nearly 5,000 new homes being built? These and other mysteries about traffic in Lake Forest will be addressed by the City at this forum.
FRIDAY MAY 9 – Secrets and Strategies to Business Success
8:30 am to 1:30 pm, City Hall
This is the 8th annual popular event co-sponsored by the City and the Chamber of Commerce. This event is free and many people find it worthwhile. Contact lisatooley@cox.net for more info.
Tomorrow on "City Watch" we'll take a look at the Baker Ranch park design workshop that was held last week.
