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
Tuesday, May 30 to Friday, June
2, crews will continue
parking lot improvements. 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 information about the San
Carlos Transit Village Project visit: http://cityofsancarlos.org/planning/projects/san_carlos_transit_village/default.asp
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, May 26 and Saturday,
May 27. There is also night work scheduled from Tuesday, May 30 to Friday, June 2. Crews will be installing cast-in-drilled-hole piles
within the Caltrain right-of-way. 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
Tuesday,
May 30 to Friday, June 2, crews will perform signal work and will begin to pour
concrete for the tail track abutment.
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.

Maintenance
Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week. To
avoid disruptions to service, the work will mainly take place Saturday through
Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. For more information about this type of work,
click here,
or call 650.508.7726.
San Francisco to San Jose
Saturday, May 27, to Friday, June 2, crews will
pressure wash and perform janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San
Francisco and Tamien stations.
Tuesday, May 30, to Friday, June 2 crews will weld
and grind rail at various locations between the San Francisco and Tamien
stations. The welding crew uses air compressors, gas-powered generators, small
power tools, electric-arc welders and propane heaters. Neighbors may experience
construction noise during this time. Crews will work as quietly as possible.
San Francisco to Brisbane
Tuesday, May 30, to Friday, June 2 crews will
resurface rail between the San Francisco and Brisbane 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.
San Jose
Tuesday, May 30, to Friday, June 2, crews will
replace ties between the San Jose Diridon and Tamien station. 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.
