Background
TheSan Carlos Multi-Modal Transit Center Project (Transit Center) is located onthe west side of the railroad corridor at the site of the existing San CarlosCaltrain Station. The Transit Center project consists of transforming theexisting San Carlos Caltrain Station parking lot into a multi-modal transitcenter that will better serve the community by improving safety andaccessibility between SamTrans fixed route bus services, Caltrain commuter railservices, local shuttles, pedestrians and bicyclists. For more information onthe project, please visit www.samtrans.com/sctc.
The Transit Centerproject is part of the larger mixed-use transit-oriented development, the SanCarlos Transit Village, which is a joint development between SamTrans andPrometheus Real Estate Group.

Los Gatos Creek Bridge Replacement Project WeeklyUpdate
Night/WeekendWork
As part ofthe Los Gatos Creek Bridge Project, there is night work scheduled on Friday, September8 through Friday, September 15. Crews will continue to drill, install rebar cages and pour concretepiles. Residents will hear on-track equipment and construction activitiesduring these nights. Crews will mobilize equipment on site inpreparation of the precast girder installment. Crews will also continueinstallation of tail track turnout. To limit the impact to railroad operations,these activities must be conducted at night or on the weekend when there islimited or no train service.
Additional night work will be required throughout theproject.
During the night and weekend work, neighbors will hearadditional noises from heavy machinery and from equipment backup alarms. Inaddition, generators will be used for night time activities to power portablelight towers. Caltrain will implement noise mitigation measures for residentsdirectly adjacent to the project site. We apologize for any inconvenience theseactivities may cause.
Weekday Work
Monday, September 11 toFriday, September 15, crews will perform rebar, form and concrete work onthe bridge backwall and abutment.
Background
Caltrain, in cooperation with the City of San Jose,is preparing to replace the railroad bridge crossing at Los Gatos Creek inSan Jose. The current bridge was built in 1935, and in order to maintain saferail operations and meet current seismic safety standards, the bridge must bereplaced. The project will also include installation of a tail track south ofthe San Jose Diridon station. The tail track will provide improved operationsat the station and minimize system-wide delays. Construction is expected to becomplete in early 2018.
In order tomaintain regular train service, some activities will be conducted during nightsand weekends, outside of normal train service hours. Neighbors may experienceconstruction noise and light during these times. We apologize for anyinconvenience this may cause.

Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project
ThePeninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) is a key component of theCaltrain Modernization program. The PCEP would electrify the Caltrain Corridorfrom San Francisco’s 4th and King Caltrain Station to approximately the TamienCaltrain Station.
The primarypurpose of the Project is to improve Caltrain system performance, reducelong-term environmental impact by reducing noise, improving regional airquality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An electrified Caltrain systemwould better address Peninsula commuters’ vision of increased service andimproved travel times in an environmentally friendly and reliableway. This also is expected to help accommodate increase system ridershipthrough improved system operations.
