The Montclair Village Association is exploring several ideas to curb the rash of thefts and break-ins, including adding more patrols like we saw during the holidays.

The city bought the 5- and 10-gallon white oaks, valley oaks and coastal live oaks to replace trees that came down during last year’s storms. Drivers and hikers will see the plantings in the median between Skyline High School and Keller Drive.Oakland Rotary Club #3 is the third oldest Rotary club in the country out of some 4,000 nationwide. The downtown-based club also plans to plant trees in East and West Oakland, as part of the urban forestry program.
