Upper Grand Park

This is the upper area of Grand Park and a great park it is! It has a wonderful path that meanders down into the town center and lots of grass and trees.

The best place to recycle in town.

You can recycle your bottles and cans here just to the left of Ralphs Market in the Aliso Viejo Town Center.

Here is a video I took one morning of Grand Park where our big fountain is.

Dog License Amnesty Program Starts on Friday 4/1/11

This is not an April Fools Joke!
The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is launching a Dog License Amnesty Program from April 1-30, waiving all late and penalty fees for dog owners who have not licensed their dog or who've failed to renew their dog's license. The amnesty program gives residents an opportunity to comply with the law, protect their pet with a license and avoid a potential fine.

The center has been servicing the City of Aliso Viejo since January 2009.

Dog owners are strongly encouraged to license during April to avoid future late penalties and citations. State and municipal codes require that any dog over the age of four months must have a current rabies vaccination and a dog license.

Pet owners who register or renew an annual license during the amnesty period will only have to pay the regular $20 fee for an altered dog license or $50 for an unaltered dog license. Discounts are available for senior citizens 55 years and older. For a license renewal that will be due again within the next 6 months, two years payment will be required.

To purchase or renew a license, a current rabies vaccination certificate is required. If you are applying for the reduced-rate altered dog license, a copy of your pet's sterility certificate is also required. For the public's convenience, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center will host a rabies vaccination clinic from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 at 28095 Hillcrest. Rabies vaccinations are $6.

Licenses can be purchased or renewed by mail or in person at Mission Viejo Animal Services Center. Residents can also pay by phone by calling 949-470-3045 Tuesday through Saturday.

For more information, call 949-470-3045.

Let's all license are pets..and keep tags on them for their safety!

SAVE THE DATE! Document Shredding EVENT!

Document Shredding & Identity Theft Protection Event May 28



In an effort to protect residents from identity theft and provide a free public service, the City will host a document shredding and identity theft protection event on Saturday, May 28.

The City is giving community members an opportunity to have their sensitive records securely destroyed from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the City Hall parking lot at 12 Journey.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.

Residents and businesses can bring up to 10 standard-file boxes of paper records - canceled checks, pay stubs, credit card statements and more - that will be shredded on-site for free. The boxes of pages can contain staples but must be free of notebooks or other bindings. Staff will also be on hand to answer questions and provide information about identity theft.

For more information about the May 28 event, contact Aliso Viejo City Clerk Susan Ramos at 949-425-2506 or sramos@cityofalisoviejo.com. Information is also available on the City's website at www.cityofalisoviejo.com.

Street Improvements begin week of March 21st

Street-improvement project starts next week


Aliso Viejo will start its annual slurry seal pavement maintenance program on March 21, as part of an on-going effort to extend the life of City streets.

The work will include removing and replacing pavement marking and adding a coat of slurry seal to Aliso Creek Road from Alicia Parkway to SR-73; Wood Canyon from Aliso Creek Road to Oakgrove/Westridge; Enterprise from Aliso Creek Road to Town Center; Glenhurst; Boundary Oak; Autumnglen; Summerfield; Springdale; Knollwood; Deerhurst; Wolverine Way; and Foxborough.

The work will require some street closures but all residents impacted by closures will receive a notice by mail and door hangers and the City will post signs. School zone areas will be completed during spring break, April 4-8.

The actually slurry seal part of the project is expected to be finished by April 8, with final pavement markings done by the end of April. All work is dependent on the weather, and any major changes to the schedule will be announced.

For more information about the work, contact City contractor American Asphalt South at 800-678-4007. Information is also available by contacting the Public Works Department at 949-425-2530 or pworks@cityofalisoviejo.com. A map of the project area is available by clicking here.

Wonder if the recent storm and those forthcoming will delay this project?
