The public is invited to a community meeting about the San Bruno Grade Separation Project from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 30 at Belle Air School in San Bruno.

The meeting will include a presentation on the project, which will elevate the Caltrain tracks above San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues. The project also includes a new elevated train station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues that will replace the current station, three pedestrian underpasses and a new parking lot with 191 spaces. In addition, Posy Park and the streets and sidewalks in the neighborhood will be improved.

Construction is expected to begin in October. At the meeting, people will be able to see drawings of the completed project. Staff from Caltrain and the city of San Bruno will go over the construction schedule and will be available to answer questions.
