📰 News we're reading

• Front Porches Become Live Music Stages for Alameda Porchfest (alamedapost.com) — Alameda residents can enjoy free live music all over town this Sunday, Sept. 13, as neighbors turn their porches and Webster Park into stages for Alameda Porchfest 2026. From noon to 6 p.m., you can stroll or bike between seven stages, hear dozens of local acts, and support performers and nearby businesses—just remember comfy shoes, a chair, and tip money.
   

• Peregrine Falcons Raise Their Next Generation on the Fruitvale Train Bridge (alamedapost.com) — Peregrine falcons nesting on the Fruitvale Train Bridge are drawing birders to Alameda, where residents can watch these recovering raptors raise their young just across the estuary. The piece celebrates Alameda as a standout birding destination and urges locals to join conservation groups, get out on the trails, and help protect the habitats that make these close-up wildlife encounters possible.
   

• Alameda County supervisors forgo initiative to amend Measure D amid negative polling (pleasantonweekly.com) — Alameda County supervisors have decided not to place a Measure D amendment on this November's ballot, leaving voters' direct control over major East County land-use changes intact. After polling showed likely opposition and confusion, the board shelved the idea while signaling future talks with farmers and open-space advocates about how to balance agriculture, development, and voter authority.
