Restriping along Citrus Avenue between University Street and Redlands Boulevard, including a section that runs through Redlands High School, is scheduled to begin Thursday morning, with completion expected by Friday morning.
The restriping on Citrus, where it divides the north and south campuses of Redlands High School, will include traffic calming measures, intended to improve the safety of thousands of high school students who cross the street between classes several times a day during the school year.
Do you know a senior citizen or disabled person who lives alone and would benefit from regular contact? Then you need to know about You Are Not Alone.
You Are Not Alone, sponsored by the City of Redlands Quality of Life Department, began in 2001 as Never Alone, sponsored by the Redlands Police Department.
Being alone is one of the greatest fears older adults have. The You Are Not Alone program is designed to assist in alleviating that concern, both for the senior citizens, the disabled and their families.
The intent of the program is to provide comfort, promote peace of mind and a sense of security and confidence to homebound seniors or disabled citizens, who enjoy the independence of living alone, but do not have the availability of friends or families to consistently check in on them.
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, Redlands Police Chief Mark A. Garcia and Avoid the 25 DUI Task Force coordinator is urging motorists to plan a safe ride home and never get behind the wheel drunk or drugged. During this holiday police, Sheriff, and CHP throughout San Bernardino County will be on high alert, cracking down on drunk drivers as part of its Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over public safety campaign.
“Drunk driving is dangerous, deadly and against the law – and it will not be tolerated in communities this St. Patrick’s Day,” said Chief Garcia. “Today we are giving fair warning to everyone traveling in Redlands that our law enforcement officers will be out on patrol and if you are caught driving drunk, you will be arrested.”
Redlands Police and agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control partnered with bar employees last week and arrested four minors for possession or presentation of false identification.
RPD officers and two ABC agents, worked with bouncers at the Vault at the corner of Cajon and Vine streets, on Tuesday, March 5, checking the identifications of bar patrons.
Police arrested four people, including two 19-year-old Redlands women, a 19-year-old Highland woman and a 20-year-old Highland man who presented false identifications to employees.
The Redlands Police Department Traffic Unit will conduct a DUI/drivers license checkpoint beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, March 15, through 3 a.m. Saturday in the eastbound lanes of Colton Avenue, west of Texas Street.
Officers will contact drivers passing through Friday’s checkpoint looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers will also check drivers for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.
On Saturday, March 16, traffic officers will conduct a grant-funded “saturation” patrol, targeting DUI drivers.
A fire that started in a waste bin spread, damaging a vehicle and part of a garage on Sunday morning.
Redlands Firefighters responded to the 1700 block of Fairmont Drive at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, March 11, after neighbors reported the blaze.
Redlands residents can toast the City’s quasquicentennial with a new 125th Anniversary label merlot from local business State Street Winery. Soon to come, a 125th Anniversary label sauvignon blanc.
State Street Winery owners Robin and Janet Harter will donate 10 percent of the proceeds from each bottle of the 125th Anniversary wine sold to the City’s 125th Anniversary celebration. The wine sells for $25 a bottle.
The wine is bottled locally at the winery at 404 E. State St. using Washington grapes. The label incorporating the City’s 125th Anniversary logo was designed by Richard Pennington of Pennington 
Designs at 19 E. Citrus Ave.
“This elegant ruby colored merlot features a rich, aromatic bouquet of fresh red cherries and toasted oak,” says Janet Harter.
A 125th Anniversary label sauvignon blanc will be available in the coming weeks.
The quasquicentennial celebration marks the 125th Anniversary of the City’s incorporation in November 1888. The yearlong celebration kicked off on Dec. 1 with the Redlands Christmas Parade, sponsored by the City and the Kiwanis Club of Redlands. Additional events are being planned throughout the year.
No General Fund money has been allocated for the celebration. All funds will come from donations, fundraising efforts and revenue from the sale of sponsorships and commemorative merchandise. Donations of $10,000 each have been received from the Kiwanis Club of Redlands (noon), the University of Redlands and Kaiser-Permanente. Donations of $5,000 were also received from the Rotary Clubs of Redlands and American Medical Response.

Redlands Police arrested a 17-year-old Redlands boy after he jumped in front of a Fire Department engine that was responding to a medical emergency early Saturday morning.
Medic Engine 261 was responding with emergency lights to a medical aid call at about 1 a.m. Saturday, March 2. As the engine head south on Olive Avenue near Cajon Street, the engineer noticed a pedestrian and began to slow the engine. He had come to a near stop when the 17-year-old jumped on the front bumper of the engine and began to strike the windshield with his head and fists, damaging the windshield.
The engine’s crew assisted the teen to a nearby grassy area to determine if he had been injured. The teen then began to struggle with the firefighters before being brought under control.
