San Carlos Transit Center Project
Night/Weekend Work


There is night scheduled for Monday,
January 30 to Friday, February 4.

spaces in the Caltrain parking lot and along the eastside of El Camino between
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:

San Francisco to
San Jose


Saturday,
January 28, to Friday, February 3, crews will pressure wash and perform
janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San Francisco and Tamien
stations.


 


South San Francisco to Burlingame


Monday, January 30,
to Friday, February 3, crews will resurface rail between the South San
Francisco and Broadway stations. Resurfacing corrects the alignment of uneven
rails to make them smooth, minimizing the jerks and bumps experienced by
passengers and reducing the mechanical strain on the rails. Neighbors may
experience construction noise during this time. Crews will work as quietly as
possible.


 


Millbrae to Belmont


Monday, January 30,
to Friday, February 3, crews will replace ties between the Millbrae and Belmont
stations. Caltrain uses several different on-track, self-propelled machines to
replace cross ties, and neighbors may experience construction noise during this
time. Crews will work as quietly as possible


 


San Jose


Monday, January 30,
to Friday, February 3, crews will weld and grind rail near the San Jose Diridon
Station. The welding crew uses air compressors, gas-powered generators, small
power tools, electric-arc welders and propane heaters. Neighbors may experience
