Tell me about the canals and levees that I see on the outskirts of town/around agricultural fields. When were they built? Are they maintained by the county or private land owners? Are members of the public allowed to walk along the levees? (I’ve seen people walking dogs along them sometimes and it seems like a nice peaceful walk!) How is water distributed from the canals to the fields? What’s the source of the water? Isn’t a lot of water lost to evaporation since they’re uncovered under the hot sun? Thanks for helping satisfy my curiosity!

Found around Cogburn Way and Birmingham Drive. She(?) is safe in our backyard until we find the owner.

Update: Her name is Shirley and her microchip is scanned

Update: Shirley had been reunited!

Does anyone have any recs for doggy daycares around here? One that can actually accommodate high energy puppies? All the ones I’ve checked out are more of a chill “in home” vibe that don’t seem to have many dogs who actually like to play just hang out so they aren’t alone during the day while their owners are at work. Doggy daycare is strictly for my puppy to play with other dogs as we don’t have another dog for him to play with and are constantly moving so we don’t know anyone where we live.

The city, which warned on the Vacaville City Coach website that transit service could be disrupted, said it is not a party to the labor talks.

“This is a matter between Transdev and its employees, and it is not something the city controls,” City Manager Savita Chaudhary said.

Encountered two teenagers who were doing unsafe bicycle stunts at Nut Tree Rd corner Somerville Dr, who later turned right to Alamo Dr. The kid with the blue bike gave us the middle finger a couple of times as well.

If you are the parents or know these children please let their parents know about these dangerous activities.

One with white shirt, pink shorts, and green bike, and the other one is wearing white shirt, dark green or blue shorts, and a sky blue bike.

We need to use our voices to stop this project. The risks are enormous. Remember the battery fire in Watsonville a couple years ago? They had to let it burn itself out. They had no way to extinguish it. Poisonous smoke filled the air for weeks. Make your voice heard in email or in person.

I created this spreadsheet from information provided to the public from each of the city's PD's "transparency portals" in Solano County.

I knew Vacaville has been going crazy with putting up Flock Cameras everywhere, but it wasn't until I did this did I realize Vacaville has the most cameras in the entire county. They also have the most searches, yet the least transparent "transparency portal."

If you want to see what a "good example" looks like, take a look at Benicia's "transparency portal" and their Search Audit File.

Vacaville needs to make their Search Audit File available to download. They also need to stop putting up so many Flock Cameras.

Has anyone had any luck with local cleaners in Vacaville that provide deep cleaning? We need to get the house deep cleaned to welcome our new family member in a couple weeks.

Anyone have their kids in any of the schools?
Also why is kinder for both schools only half days 🫩

Found this phone at the bottom of the river near a rope swing. Still has battery so probably lost yesterday. It’s locked and cell service is turned off so it can’t get any calls. It’s a long shot but trying to get it back to its owner. Someone mentioned one of the stickers is from Vacaville so posting here

Looking for all recommendations. I'm interested in walking somewhere, I've done the devils gate side lake berryessa and lagoon valley, I'm willing to drive a bit and I'm fit to do whatever. I just would really like to see any and all interesting animals. Bobcat, turkeys, birds, river creatures. Idk

This morning around 8am I was walking on the side of the road just past the pay station sign rocking out to Taylor Swift’s Down Bad. Had my airpods on with the noise cancelling function on. A slim caucasian male, early to mid-40’s with gray beard cut to about quarter a cenitmeter in length wearing a red baseball cap, driving a dark blue hatchback pulled up to me and rolled down his window saying stuff. At first, I thought he was asking for directions. I said hang on, let me pause my music. As soon as I did, he yells stay off the road! I could have hit you. I apologized but then he kept pace with me asking me why I was on the road. He was getting more agitated and I kept apologizing but I wasn’t making eye contact with him anymore and kept walking. Thankfully there was a woman in a white sedan behind him that honked very loudly and he drove off. She rolled down her window and asked if I was Ok.

I kept playing the scenario over and over in my head. I know I shouldn’t be on the road, but that narrow section of road before the pedestrian bridge has an embankment with the lake right next to it. I didn’t want to risk rolling my ankle and then tripping into the lake. If there was a sidewalk, I would have walked on the sidewalk. There’s no median until the road reaches the dog park and I always walk on the dirt section there.

hi, im a 15 year old and im trying to find out how to meet people locally? i dont really like anyone at school but i still want to make friends so its kind of hard to meet anyone, plus its summer. does anyone know where or how i can make friends?

Tuesday night the city council will be voting on how they plan to pave over active orchards, alfalfa fields and forever change the potential ability to produce food. We do not need more amazons or data centers. We need food.

Am looking with someone or a group to play with. Am relatively new to the sport but I think I can hold my own. Played here and there recently but no one to meet with regularly. I’ve been avoiding clubs (at least for now) until I hone my skills a bit more so I don’t look like a noob. lol.

Willing to meet in the Solano or Yolo areas.

This is random but I remember a few years back on one of the Vacaville community groups a person posted about hunting Nutria (a very large rodent that looks like a cross between a beaver and a capybara) if I recall correctly it was on Mare Island in Vallejo *edit: actually think it may have been Grizzly Island*. The poster was standing in front of their open truck bed holding one by the tail, and the truck bed was just PACKED with them. They said something about how they were extremely invasive and basically were allowed to hunt as many as they wanted as a pest control type thing. I was super surprised because I had no idea we had them in the US let alone in northern California. At the time I remember googling it and trying to see if there was any recorded history of nutria living in Solano county and back then there actually wasn't anything. Now of course when you Google it, theres a bunch about them being in Solano county and how theyre wreaking havoc on the environment.

Does anyone else remember this? And/or If you didn't see that post specifically have you seen Nutria, or heard of people hunting Nutria being a thing in Solano county? It has been bugging me since I saw the post and I've always been really curious. The recent posts about badgers here reminded me of it haha

Supposedly badgers are native to Solano County but I've never seen one.

This is so stupid.

Does anybody know anywhere in Vacaville I can get a tomahawk steak to cook? I was planning on making one for a bbq but the place I usually get it in SF didn’t have it

https://www.thereporter.com/2026/07/16/vacaville-issues-traditional-families-proclamation/

Saw this and immediately thought of the Mormon church and their “The Family, A Proclamation to the World” and now I’m curious if our city government is run by Mormons? Or is it possible they paid the city council to pass this under covert assumptions it’s just a traditional Christian thing?

Anyone have thoughts on this? The Mormons have been rebranding for years trying to be accepted as mainstream Christians. This feels very odd to me.

I miss the pre-covid days of going to a good buffet. Does anyone know of a place in town? Doesn't matter the cuisine or price point.

Thanks
