Construction
San Carlos Transit Center Project
Night/Weekend
Work
There
is no night or weekend work scheduled at the San Carlos Transit Center Project.
Weekday Work
Monday, July 11 to Friday July 14, crews will continue parking lot improvements,
including curb and gutter work along El Camino Real. 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 during
construction activities.
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

Los Gatos Creek Bridge Replacement Project Weekly Update
Night/Weekend
Work
As part of the Los
Gatos Creek Bridge Project, there is night work scheduled on Friday, July 7
through Friday, July 14. Crews will mobilize equipment on site in preparation
of the precast girder installment. Crews will also continue installation of
tail track turnout. To limit the impact to railroad operations, these
activities must be conducted at night or on the weekend when there is limited
or no train service.
Additional night work will be required throughout the project.
During the night and weekend work, neighbors will hear
additional noises from heavy machinery and from equipment backup alarms. In
addition, generators will be used for night time activities to power portable
light towers. Caltrain will implement noise mitigation measures for residents
directly adjacent to the project site. We apologize for any inconvenience these
activities may cause.
Weekday Work
Monday, July 11 to Friday, July 14, crews will
perform form work and pour the bridge columns.
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.
