Help Curb Copper Wiring and Street Sign Thefts

Thefts of Culver City street signs and copper wiring from streetlights are on the rise. The City is asking the public to be on alert and report any damage.

There’s been a spate of strange thefts in Culver City recently. Copper wiring has been stolen for City street lights and there’s been an uptick in street sign thefts.

The Public Works Department is asking the public to help by reporting damage to or theft of City infrastructure including street lights, street name signs, traffic signs, City-owned facilities, traffic signals and parkway and median trees.  

All Public Works Department vehicles are clearly marked with “Culver City” identification on the sides of the vehicles and all employees are dressed in official City-issued uniforms unless they are contractors hired by the City for special projects.

To report any damage to City infrastructure or assets or to report suspicious activity, please contact the Culver City Police Department at (310) 837-1221 (non-emergency phone number) or the Public Works Department’s Maintenance Operations Division at (310) 253-6420.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.

Maybe more to the point, where does the methane (way more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas)Read More release go from the fracking process, where do the "secret"and other cancer causing chemicals go, and who pays for clean-up costs, increased healthcare costs of residents nearby, possible increased earthquake damage, etc. and where does this oil go (we can't use it--too dirty--so probably China)?

As I understand it, fracking wells "dry up" fairly quickly, which is why pressure to keepRead More drilling so urgent. Where do the jobs go after a year or so? Just a thought....
