North Rose Hill Calendar
Here are some community notes and information for the Rose Hill area.
Road closure in some Kirkland neighborhoods starting August 30. The City of Kirkland, along with its contractor, Blackline Inc., will be resurfacing several streets in Kirkland with slurry seal. Slurry seal is a thick cold liquid mixture of asphalt and fine rock (pre-mixed) applied to the existing asphalt surface. Construction is scheduled to begin Aug. 30 and is estimated to be complete within one week. Typical hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Many factors (including weather) could influence the actual days the work is being done. Rain, or even the threat of rain, will postpone the slurry seal application. The process also requires road closures for one day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Notices will be distributed to all adjacent residents and businesses within 24 hours prior to road closure. No one will be allowed to drive in or out of their driveway or on the street after 8 a.m., at which time the road will be closed to all traffic. The road will remain closed until the slurry seal has been placed and had time to dry thoroughly (which can take anywhere from four to six hours). All roads are scheduled to open by 4 p.m. the same day. For up to date schedule information, call (425) 587-3838.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
from the City of Kirkland Police Department about
RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY
When the weather turns warm, windows and doors are kept open more often to
let cool air in and families may go on vacation leaving the home unoccupied.
Residential burglars often take advantage of the opportunity to easily
enter a home with unlocked doors and windows. Although most residential
burglaries happen when no one is inside, criminals are known to take the risk
even when someone is at home. Criminals only need a few seconds to steal
electronics, jewelry and other valuable items. The Kirkland Police
Department offers the following crime prevention tips to protect your residence
from burglary:
How can I reduce my chances or prevent a residential burglary?
Lock doors and windows.
Do not leave windows open, even on the upper levels.
Reinforce windows and sliding glass doors with secondary locks or dowels (rods) that fit securely in windows. Dowels can be made of wood, PVC pipe or metal.
Do not hide extra keys to the house.
Look at your residence like a burglar would. If you can get into your house without a key, so can the burglar.
Photograph and record all of the serial numbers of your valuables. Keep the list and photographs in a safety deposit box. Good for insurance claims for fire and earthquake also.
When on vacation, have a trusted neighbor take care of your residence, including picking up your mail and newspaper.
Trim all hedges and shrubs so they are not covering windows. Overgrown plants provide good hiding places for burglars and is an indication that you may be away from your home.
Having a dog or an alarm system may deter some criminals.
Start a Neighborhood Watch Program to help neighbors look
out for one another and to report suspicious activities.
