This is an exciting time for the City of Emeryville. The Emeryville Center of
Community Life (ECCL) is under construction with the first phase scheduled to open this fall.
The Emeryville Senior Center is scheduled to undergo a significant renovation this summer,
with the first upgrades it has had in 20 years. Joseph Emery Park is also about to undergo a
total redesign with skating features that will promote physical activity and healthy living. These
are just a few of the transformations you can expect to see in your City over the next year,
and they show the commitment that the City has to improving quality of life of its citizens. I
welcome your feedback, concerns, questions, and thoughts on what we do well and how we
can improve. Please feel free to contact my office at any time.
Sincerely,
Sabrina Landreth

ADULT ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
BODYLIFT
“BodyLift” is a concept created
and designed that generally
consists of using your own
bodyweight to skyrocket your
metabolism and burn more fat
24-48 hours after your workout.
This is known as “Excess post oxygen consumption” (EPOC).
Classes will consist of Circuit
training, Strength training, and
Bodyweight training at a high
intensity level (HIIT) in either
30 minute or 60 minute class
sessions. Ashley has personally
designed and worked out with these routines and achieved successful results, as well as using the BodyLift method with her clients.
So many muscles in the human body can be worked out with just
simply knowing how to move your body correctly along with the
amount of repetitions and weight put that is placed on our body.
If you are interested in losing overall body fat or just looking to carve
out the body you currently have to achieve lean muscle mass using
the BodyLift method will do just that! Visit www.lamortelift.com
for more info.
Classes starting April 8th at Marina Park. Effective June 1st, all M-F
classes will be held at Doyle Hollis Park.

Ashley LaMorte
Ashley LaMorte is the founder and owner
of LaMorteLift. She was born in San Jose, CA. Out of high
school Ashley went from Nursing school to Interior design
school, but neither of these kept her interest. Ashley knew
she wanted more in life, she wanted to make a difference
in peoples lives. Ashley had always been physically active
growing up but took further interest in fitness in her early
adulthood. She began working out regularly and quickly
noticed how much of an impact training had on her, not
only physically but also mentally. Ashley began training others and loved it. She came to realize becoming a Personal
Trainer was what she was meant to do. Ashley became certified and shortly after moved to the San Francisco area to
pursue her career in the fitness field. Ashley now resides in
the East Bay area, where she is instructing fitness boot camp
classes along with training clients one on one. Ashley’s
belief is everyone can change their quality of life through
fitness and clean eating habits.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN GATE BRANCH LIBRARY
The City of Emeryville contracts with the City of Oakland for
library services. Golden Gate is the closest branch library to
Emeryville – but Emeryville residents have access to all Oakland
public libraries and have reciprocal library privileges for the
Berkeley and many other public libraries (just show your Oakland
library card to be eligible to receive a Berkeley or other public
library card within the statewide reciprocal city for no charge)
Golden Gate has a collection of approximately 35,000 items.
Circulating materials are largely of popular interest with a strong
emphasis on fiction and jazz music. (Golden Gate is well known
for its Golden Gate Friends sponsored Summer Jazz on Sundays
series. The African American collection is one of the largest
branch collections in the system.
Special-interest collections include a small Performing Art
Collection (including storytelling, reader’s theatre, puppetry, and
drama), and a collection of Chess “how-to” books for all ages. The
East Indian collection includes books for adults and children in
Hindi and Punjabi, DVDs of Hindi cinema (“Bollywood”), and CDs
of many genres of classical, folk, and pop music from India.
The branch is equipped with thirteen (13) computers with Internet access and word processing available for public use.
Meeting Room
The branch meeting room has a capacity of 50 people.
POWELL STREET FIRE STATION TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR REPAIRS
The Powell Street Fire Station (Fire Station 34) is scheduled to be
temporarily closed for major building repairs between January 13
through late June/early July. The firefighters housed in Fire Station
34 will temporarily relocate and conduct its operations out of the
Hollis Street Fire Station (Fire Station 35) located at 6303 Hollis Street.
The Alameda County Fire Department (the City’s contracted fire services provider) anticipates that response times during the construction period will be maintained at a five minute maximum response
time throughout Emeryville during the relocation. Dispatch services
(emergency calls) will not be affected and will still be routed
through 9-1-1.

CITY OF EMERYVILLE · WINTER/SPRING 2014–2015 CITY NEWS
The Fire Station Improvement Project is designed to address a chronic
roof leak issue which caused some damage to the interior of the
building. The station was built in 1989 and the roof has surpassed its
useful life expectancy of 20-25 years Additionally, the fire station will
be updated with energy efficient upgrades such as solar panels installed on the roof as well as energy efficient appliances and replacement of the existing heating and ventilation system. The building and
its major subsystems should be sufficiently updated to be generally
serviceable for at least another twenty years as a result of this project.
For more information about this project, contact the City’s Public
Works Department at public_works@ci.emeryville.ca.us
or (510)596-4330.

Summer Safety Tips:
BE OBSERVANT IN PUBLIC
When you head out to a fun filled destination, try to keep in mind that criminals may be sharing your day with you. Following a few simple
safety tips, you may be able to avoid being victimized by criminals who might be watching. Criminals are always on the lookout for an easy
target, so make sure you don’t give them one.
Always lock your doors and roll up the windows when you leave your car. Car thieves regularly patrol parking lots and try door handles to see if
they will open, especially in Emeryville. They are hoping for an unlocked vehicle that they can get into quickly and take anything that was left
inside. You should always store valuable items in the trunk, so that a criminal does not see them and become tempted to break in.
While enjoying your day, keep a close eye on whomever you are with and everyone around you. Look for strangers who seem to be watching
you or getting too close. They may be trying to determine if you have something they can take. Protect your companions and personal items
carefully, and make sure no one has a chance to steal from you.
SAFETY AT HOME
During the summer, people are outdoors working on projects like the garden, entertaining friends or relaxing. It can be easy to forget to close
a door or window and if they are left open it creates an easy opportunity for a burglar. Garage doors are regularly used by criminals to gain
access to a home during the warmer months. People go outside to do yard work and forget to close the garage door. Criminals may steal items
from the garage itself, which usually contains tools and other valuable belongings or use it as an easy way to get into your home. Once inside,
the burglar can grab an armful of things quickly and run off without ever being noticed.
Some criminals will work together during the summer months. One will come to your door and distract you while the other sneaks into your
garage, back yard or home to take whatever they can grab. Be wary of anyone who approaches your front door and don’t let them take up too
much of your time. Every year thousands of burglaries occur all over the United States. Teach your family how to guard themselves and their
property and do what you can to ensure a safe and happy summer for everyone.
If you see a crime in progress or suspect something suspicious is happening,
call the Emeryville Police Department at 911 or 510-596-3700.
32
Child Summer Safety Tips:
OUTDOOR PLAY
During the summer, kids go outside and are active. It gives them time to play, explore and make
new friends. There are, however, some areas that children need to avoid.
Talk to your kids.
Tell them that it is best to avoid certain areas because they can be hazardous. Places such as busy intersections, industrial work zones where large trucks frequent and homeless encampments where hazardous wastes are prevalent. Young children should never
get into a body of water unsupervised, especially if that water is moving. Other locations such as alleys, underneath bridges and abandoned
buildings may also be dangerous. Assure them that your only concern is their safety and you would never want anything bad to happen.
Most importantly, discuss with your children why they should avoid strangers. Talk to them about being polite to
adults but keeping their distance from people they do not know. Stress that they should never take any item from a stranger and under no circumstances should they get into an unfamiliar vehicle. Let them know that if they feel frightened or threatened by someone they don’t know,
they have permission to run away and call for help.
Encourage your kids to stay with a group of friends anywhere they go. A criminal will be far less likely to approach sev-
eral kids at once than a child who is alone and if something does go wrong another member of the group can run away to find help. Give your
children a list of important contact numbers including your direct line at work, 911 and other emergency services. Supply them with change to
use a public telephone if they are not old enough to own a cell phone.
STAY SAFE WHILE AT HOME
During the summer young children may be home alone for a few hours while parents are working. Make sure they know how to call you and
the police in case they need help. Leave a copy of the emergency numbers list by your primary phone and show each child exactly where it is.
Tell your children not to answer the phone if no one else is home, but if they do they should know that it is never okay to tell a stranger that
they are home alone. The same holds true when someone knocks on the door. Children should not answer at all but if they do they must never
admit that no adults are present.
In case an emergency does occur, your children should be aware of every exit in the house. That way they have options in case a fire is started
or someone breaks in. Show them all the ways to get out, including windows on the first floor. Let them know if you have any nearby neighbors
you trust, and tell them to go to their home if something happens.
33

Safe Routes on San Pablo Avenue
are Arriving!
It is getting a lot easier to cross San Pablo Avenue, thanks to two Safe
Routes grants received by the City of Emeryville. The first, $450,000 from the
Safe Routes to Transit program funded by Regional Measure 2 (funds received
from local bridge tolls managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission or MTC) was constructed over Winter at the Star intersection at 36th/Adeline/Macarthur and San Pablo Avenue with the final touches going in at 40th
Street and San Pablo Avenue Transit hub. The second $750,000 from the state
Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program, from Caltrans funded by the Federal
Highway Administration as a pass-through, is being bid now with construction this summer at 43rd, 45th, and 47th Streets and San Pablo Avenue.
Green bike lanes add visibility to the potential conflict areas at turning locations for vehicles crossing the bike lane at 40th and Adeline at San
Pablo Avenue. SR2S improvements include a new Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFB) on mast arms over the street at 43rd and 45th
Streets (replacing the existing in road lights with high visibility treatment and a pedestrian bulb-out and median refuge at 45th Pedestrian and
cyclist activation will be immediate when pushed. Both projects are installing bike chevrons, also known as “sharrows,” which indicate bicycle
shared use of the inside lane along San Pablo Avenue throughout Emeryville from 53rd in north to 36th in south, matching Oakland treatments
to the south. New crosswalks serve 36th and Adeline across San Pablo Avenue making it much easier to grab a slice of pizza at Lane Splitter
and serving the new housing developments coming at the former Maz building to be the “The Intersection,” 3900 Adeline and the proposed
family friendly affordable housing at 3706 San Pablo Avenue. A new bike only left turn pocket, accommodating east bound cyclists on Adeline
proceeding east to BART via Macarthur Avenue, allows cyclists to turn free of competing traffic, with a brand new bike signal. South bound cyclists wishing to turn to Macarthur BART can pass through the 40th intersection and turn in this left hand pocket to reach BART as well. Speed
feedback signs will be installed adjacent to the Emery Center for Community Life.
These improvements will be overlaid with a grant funded education and outreach program to each of the schools on San Pablo including Anna
Yates, Emery Secondary and Escuela Bilingue. The SR2S program includes mapping, safety lessons and events encouraging bike and walking
to school. In addition to a bike rodeo, events will be combined with Bike to School and Work month in May and middle schoolers will be led
through an on-road bike field trip as they are taught biking skills. Maps with safe routes and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure are being
provided to all school children as part of the effort.
For more information on construction progress or impacts contact Michael Roberts, Senior Civil Engineer at 510-5964333 or mroberts@emeryville.org . For more information about the SR2S programs at the schools, contact Roselle
Loudon at (510) 596-4353 or rloudon@emeryville.org
