City to celebrate start

of street rehab effort

The city of Costa Mesa will host a groundbreaking ceremony to

celebrate the commencement of the 19th Street, Placentia Avenue and

includes removal and reconstruction of street pavement, damaged curbs

and gutters, driveways and sidewalks. It will also include

construction of median islands and parkway planters on 19th Street.

The ceremony will be at 11:30 a.m. July 15 at the Costa Mesa

Senior Center, 695 W. 19th Street. For more information, call Donna

Theriault at (714) 754-5024.

Trash collection will follow the regular schedule Monday and will

not be delayed because of the Fourth of July holiday, city officials

said.

District at (714) 754-5030.

OCC summertime enrollment jumps

Summer enrollment at Orange Coast College has increased

substantially from last year’s figures.

This year, 68.6% more students are taking classes during the

summer, according to figures released this week.

A total of 5,364 students signed up for OCC’s summer classes,

which started June 21. That compares with 3,181 students enrolled on

the same date last year.

The 2003 summer schedule was drastically reduced because of state

budget cuts. OCC is offering 183 classes -- a 58% spike -- this

summer.

The college is accepting applications for the fall semester. Fall

classes begin Aug. 30, and registration gets under way July 19.

The fall semester schedule is posted on the OCC website at

https://www.orangecoastcollege.com. For fall registration information,

call (714) 432-5072.
