Caltrain Construction and Maintenance: Dec. 1 to Dec. 7

Numerous maintenance projects will take place on the Peninsula this week.

Construction 

San Bruno Grade Separation Project

Work on the grade separation project continues with utilities work and a temporary detour. There will be a temporary detour of the right-turning traffic on northbound Huntington Avenue to northbound San Mateo Avenue. The detour will be in effect from Monday, Dec. 3, until Friday Dec. 7, from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Motorists heading northbound on Huntington to San Mateo Avenue will be able to take a right turn onto San Bruno Avenue, turn left onto 2nd Avenue, and turn left on Walnut Street.

Day work, which includes digging with a backhoe and mini-excavator, will be done from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews will excavate, install utility infrastructure, place concrete panels using a crane and pour concrete. Crews will use medium and heavy duty diesel vehicles to transport dirt and concrete.

Night work will occur from Sunday, Dec. 2, through Friday, Dec. 7, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Crews will pour concrete and use a crane to place concrete panels.

The $147 million project will elevate the Caltrain tracks above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus Avenues.  A new elevated Caltrain station between San Bruno and San Mateo Avenues will replace the station at Sylvan Avenue. Work on this project will not disrupt Caltrain service.

For more information, please call the dedicated outreach line at 650.508.7726 or emailsbgradesep@caltrain.com.

Maintenance

Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week. To avoid delays to passengers, the work will take place Saturday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. There will be some construction noise but crews will work as quietly as possible. This work will not disrupt Caltrain service. For more information about this type of work, click here.

How exciting to have some of the best orthotic specialists in the WORLD right here in our ownRead More backyard, and with such a commitment to patient care as their top priority! So glad to read this.

PS: Ideally, everybody will be able to sign up at the college website. But I have to acknowledgeRead More that some of the language may not be perfectly as clear as we'd like, especially if this is your first enrollment. So, if you need any assistance (or maybe aren't computer-savvy) the very nice Registrar Office people can assist you on 650/574-6165. Just tell them you want to sign up for Summer semester, Real Estate Practice 110 class, Course Reference number 54642 and that you'd like to complete the enrollment today. You'll like the class once we get you in! Thank you!

Among all the supporters isn't there one competent attorney who can get an injunction to keep theRead More rink from being destroyed and who can sue SPI Holding, and if necessary the City, to enforce the Master Plan Agreement? A toilet and an astro turf field are useless to ice skaters. I smell something rotten in the Mayor and the City Council's excuses. At least one skater must have a parent or family member who is an attorney with some sense of decency to do the work pro bono.

To close the ice rink is a crime. I had this conversation years ago with Peter Pau, the man whoRead More built it. We need places for children to recreate. When we send them to juvenile hall, we wring our hands and wonder why! No skate board parks in convenient places and now the skating rink. Why are our children the ones to sacrafice?
