Changes are coming in the neighborhood
In the months (and years) ahead, it appears Canyon Lake will be getting some new neighbors and losing at least one old neighbor. First for the loss: most have heard by now that Albertsons is closing its supermarket at the corner of Newport and Murrieta Roads in Sun City by the end of February.
Ad hoc committee seeks solutions for public safety
A committee appointed to study Canyon Lake’s current and future public safety needs has been meeting weekly since January. The issue? Canyon Lake’s fire and police services will cost almost a million dollars more than the City’s projected revenue in fiscal year 2011-12 if the City continues to contract with Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to receive the same level of services residents now enjoy. The City already had to dip into its reserves to help pay for fire services this year.
