Staff will provide an update about construction activities that will be occurring in Palo Alto. In 2019 crews began working on tree pruning/removal, utility relocation, and foundation installation. Over the next few months, crews will continue foundation installation and begin the installation of poles along the rail corridor in Palo Alto. The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about the project, including the scope and schedule of upcoming construction activities.

About the Project
Caltrain Electrification is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program that will electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th and King Station to approximately the Tamien Station in San Jose and replace diesel-hauled trains with electric trains. Caltrain Electrification will improve Caltrain system performance, enable more frequent and/or faster train service, and reduce long-term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrain electrification is scheduled to be operational by 2022. To learn more, visit www.CalMod.org.
