Virtual Auction Registration Open | Paul Revere
Registration is now open for the annual Paul Revere Charter Middle School auction, which will take place virtually on Saturday, February 20, 2021, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. via Zoom.
The event, which will feature an ’80s theme, will have silent and live auction items, VIP packages, and raffle tickets available for purchase—all to raise funds for the school.
The auction will be open to all administration and Paul Revere families at no charge. Due to the “unique circumstances” of 2020, Auction Co-Chairs Jamee Natella and Paula Lewis are tailoring the event to allow the greater Palisades community to support the school.

McClure Tunnel Improvement,Safety Enhancement Project | Santa Monica
The tunnel lighting system will be upgraded and a queue warning system installed at McClure Tunnel in Santa Monica, according to Caltrans. Overnight full closures of the tunnel and nearby ramps are slated to occur during construction.
The work zone spans from Lincoln Boulevard on I-10 to the Broadway Pedestrian Overcrossing on SR-1. Crews will be upgrading the lighting system in the tunnel to LED lights, which improves visibility.
“A queue warning system, the first in Los Angeles County, will be installed on westbound I-10 to provide automatic, real-time alerts to motorists when queues accumulate at the McClure Tunnel,” according to Caltrans. “Motorists will be alerted if they need to slow down as they approach the tunnel.”
The project also includes the installation of a speed feedback sign, a high-friction surface treatment to the pavement inside the tunnel and an upgrade to overhead signage in the area.
“Construction is scheduled to start the first week of January 2021,” Caltrans reported. “Detour signs will be posted for all full closures. Ramp closures associated with the project will occur mostly overnight between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.”
Updated information on the closures can be obtained at quickmap.dot.ca.gov.
