San Francisquito Creek Bank Permanent Stabilization Project

Overview

Caltrain is currently implementing temporary stabilization to the creek bank from November 20 to November 22, 2023. For information about the permanent stabilization project, see below. 

Severe storms and high creek flows have eroded the soil on the northern creek bank that supports Caltrain’s San Francisquito Creek Bridge and the Alma Street Bicycle Bridge. The San Francisquito Creek Bank Permanent Stabilization Project, a partnership between Caltrain and the Cities of Menlo Park and Palo Alto, will restore the eroding creek bank to protect both bridges and restore an existing drain outfall owned by the City of Menlo Park. 

Below is the funding budget and funding for the permanent bank stabilization project.
