Remember to keep your vehicle off the street on days the sweeper comes by to clean and maintain city streets.

• Curbside House Numbers - (626) 570-5072 
  Curbside house numbers get worn over time (a rub of the tires, a few hot, smoggy Southern California summers mixed with an occasional rain storm, and the numbers begin to fade from view). Avoid hiring an unlicensed scam artist; rather, call the Alhambra Public Works paint crew at the number above and they will work the job into their schedule. If you do observe an unauthorized paint crew operating in your neighborhood, call the Alhambra Police Department at (626) 570-5151.
     
• Graffiti Removal - (626) 570-5072
  When you see graffiti, on public or private property that is visible from the street, call the Graffiti Hotline number indicated above. Identify the location of the graffiti (be as specific as possible), and a Public Works crew will restore the wall, fence or whatever*. Crews work seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., so chances are good that the graffiti will be removed the same or next day. 
  
  

  * Note: Crews may not be able to restore many of today's garage doors due to the type of material used.

Be sure to report the exact location of the needed repair, name of street, side of street, address of home nearest location -- and the City will repair the light within 24 hours.

• Trimming of City Trees - (626) 308-4874
  If there is a tree in front of your property that is on city-owned property and it needs care or trimming, please leave the job to the Public Works Department tree care professionals. To request service, call the number above. The Alhambra City Council has approved a schedule for city tree trimming to take place once every three years (instead of once every four years). In addition, all palm trees in the city right-of-way will be trimmed annually. It is expected that this new schedule will reduce the number of falling branches that might create a hazard to traffic or cause damage to parked vehicles.
