Cherry and Arroyo will be removed permanently as part of the project. On-site
notices will be provided at least 72 hours in advance before the removal of
parking. Caltrain customers are encouraged to park at the Belmont Caltrain
Station during construction.


Background
The San Carlos Multi-Modal Transit Center Project (Transit Center) is
located on the west side of the railroad corridor at the site of the existing
San Carlos Caltrain Station. The Transit Center project consists of
transforming the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station parking lot into a
multi-modal transit center that will better serve the community by improving
safety and accessibility between SamTrans fixed route bus services, Caltrain
commuter rail services, local shuttles, pedestrians and bicyclists. For more
information on the project, please visit www.samtrans.com/sctc.


The
Transit Center project is part of the larger mixed-use transit-oriented
development, the San Carlos Transit Village, which is a joint development
between SamTrans and Prometheus Real Estate Group.  For information about the San Carlos Transit
Village Project visit:  http://cityofsancarlos.org/planning/projects/san_carlos_transit_village/default.asp

or call 650.508.7726.


San Francisco to
San Jose


Saturday, February
4, to Friday, February 10, crews will pressure wash and perform janitorial work
at Caltrain stations between the San Francisco and Tamien stations.


 


Monday, February
6, to Friday, February 10, crews will weld and grind rail at various locations
between the San Francisco and Tamien stations. The welding crew uses air
compressors, gas-powered generators, small power tools, electric-arc welders
and propane heaters. Neighbors may experience construction noise during this
time. Crews will work as quietly as possible.


 


South San Francisco to Burlingame


Monday, February
