 Twin Pines Park Belmont Creek Restoration Project & Twin Pines Park Storm Water Detention Basin Project
Exciting news, as project team members will make a presentation on the highly anticipated Twin Pines Park Belmont Creek Restoration Project and Twin Pines Park Storm Water Detention Basin Project at the Park and Recreation Commission on Wednesday, June 1st.
Ready and Resilient was this year’s Annual National Public Works theme, and the hard-working men and women of Belmont Public Works, Mid-Peninsula Water District, RethinkWaste, and Recology that hosted this event.
Booths were dappled throughout the meadow, and held information on water conservation, compost, recycling, water pollution prevention, Wildfire preparedness, Public Works projects, as well as displays for street light/sign evolution, a large watershed diorama, City vehicles on display, as well as a sewer jetting demonstration. The public had the opportunity to meet staff and learned the importance of the contribution of Public Works to their daily lives. There was no shortage of food, as the Public Works team once again provided the public with a BBQ to enjoy while visiting the stations.

Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month
In honor of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage month, we recognize Hazel Ying Lee. She was the 1st Chinese-American woman to fly for the US Military. She was part of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, a program that employed female civilian pilots to fly during WW II.
The Original Fly Girls About 1,100 young women flew military aircraft stateside during World War II as part of a program called Women Airforce Service Pilots — WASP for short. These civilian volunteers ferried and tested planes so male pilots could head to combat duty
