Mosquitos [ https://www.mosquitoes.org/ ]
Mosquitoes in Fremont

The Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District has received a number of concerns about aggressive daytime-biting mosquitoes in Fremont. They have provided information on how they are treating areas throughout Fremont.

Mosquito Update from Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District

The mosquitoes you're seeing throughout Fremont, Aedes dorsalis, are native to California and they do not transfer diseases that are harmful to humans. They are incredibly irritating and make outside unappealing to visitors and residents. The Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District is setting traps around the area to decrease the amount of mosquitoes, but since these mosquitoes produce in the marsh, it is more effective for their team to prevent them from flying away from the marsh rather than to trap them inland. Mosquitoes need standing water for their life cycle, and unfortunately these mosquitoes reproduce in the marsh where there are strong restrictions on what we can do.

The areas for treatment are in both federally and locally protected marshlands that limit which products can be used in their environmentally sensitive locations. They have treated for Aedes dorsalis and have lowered their numbers, however due to the large size of the marsh, including areas overseen by other counties, they are unable to cover every single possible location. The District expects the mosquitoes to recede a bit after the heat wave passes in a few days.

You will see the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District in the marsh throughout the year treating for Aedes dorsalis and other seasonal mosquitoes. If you start noticing small black and white spotted or striped mosquitoes, please let the district know, as those could be invasive mosquitoes. For more information about their work, see their website, *mosquitoes.org.* [ https://www.mosquitoes.org ]

Building Appeals Board [ https://www.fremont.gov/government/departments/city-clerk/boards-commissions-committees/building-appeals-board ]
*New Building Appeals Board for Fremont*

On September 17, the Fremont City Council adopted a new ordinance for Fremont that creates a Building Appeals Board to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations made by the City's Building Official and Fire Marshal related to building and fire codes. This is in response to a court ruling that determined that the City’s existing appeals process—which is currently managed by a single hearing officer—does not comply with the California Building Code.

The ordinance allows for a three-member Building Appeals Board appointed by the City Council. Members do not have to be Fremont residents. They are required to have special knowledge of state and local building and fire codes. The City’s Building Official or designee serves as the secretary to the board but does not have voting rights. A fee of $2,101 is associated with any appeal to the board, and the fee becomes effective November 18, 2024.

The ordinance also establishes the City's Planning Commission as the hearing body for post-entitlement appeals pursuant to California’s Housing Accountability Act.

For more information about the Building Appeals Board, including how to apply to serve on the board, visit the *Board’s webpage [ https://city.fremont.gov/buildingappealsboard ]*.

Roadways [ https://city.fremont.gov/navigatingfremontroadways ]
Navigating Our Streets

As Fremont grows and innovates, our city’s roadway infrastructure evolves to enhance safety and accessibility for all residents. The City’s General Plan and Mobility Action Plan aims to increase walking and biking while reducing crashes involving those vulnerable users. The City is committed to educating all roadway users on safely navigating these new infrastructure treatments, ensuring they remain confident and secure while driving, walking, or biking.

The recent changes in Fremont’s roadways include the addition of roundabouts, intersection improvements, protected bike lanes, street markings, and updated traffic signal systems. These improvements are designed to reduce severe injury/fatal crashes and reduce vehicle speeds while optimizing traffic flow, but they can be unfamiliar to many drivers.
