San

Night/Weekend Work
There is no night or weekend work
currently scheduled at the San Carlos Transit Center Project.
Weekday Work
Monday, March 27, to Friday, March 31, crews will remove
the retaining wall shoring and continue parking lot improvements. Neighbors may
experience construction noise and traffic during this time. We apologize for
the inconvenience. El Camino Real traffic may also be reduced to one lane

be delayed due to adverse weather conditions.
Some parking spaces in the Caltrain parking lot and
along the eastside of El Camino between Cherry and Arroyo have been permanently
removed as part of the project. 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
Los Gatos Creek Bridge
Replacement Project Weekly Update
Night/Weekend
Work
There is no night or weekend work
scheduled for the project at this time.
Weekday
Work
Monday, March 27 to Friday, March
31, crews will continue to remove vegetation and will remove poles and wires to
facilitate the bridge construction. Crews will continue installation of the access
road for the project.
Background
Caltrain, in cooperation with the
City of San Jose, is preparing to replace the railroad bridge crossing at
Los Gatos Creek in San Jose. The current bridge was built in 1935, and in order
to maintain safe rail operations and meet current seismic safety standards, the
bridge must be replaced. The project will also include installation of a tail
track south of the San Jose Diridon station. The tail track will provide
improved operations at the station and minimize system-wide delays.
Construction is expected to be complete in early 2018.
In order to maintain regular train service, some activities will be
conducted during nights and weekends, outside of normal train service hours.
Neighbors may experience construction noise and light during these times. We
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For more information on the Los Gatos Creek Bridge Replacement Project,
please visit www.caltrain.com/losgatos.
For questions about the project, please call the Caltrain Construction
Hotline at 650.508.7726 or email lgcbridge@caltrain.com.
Peninsula
Corridor Electrification Project
The Peninsula Corridor
Electrification Project (PCEP) is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization
program. The PCEP would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s
4th and King Caltrain Station to approximately the Tamien Caltrain Station.
The primary purpose of the Project
is to improve Caltrain system performance, reduce long-term environmental
impact by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. An electrified Caltrain system would better address
Peninsula commuters’ vision of increased service and improved travel times
in an environmentally friendly and reliable way. This also is
expected to help accommodate increase system ridership through improved system
operations.
