Greetings!
Caltrans is nearing completion of Highway 1 paving! All of the paving on the mainline highway is complete, with work remaining on guardrails, shoulders, curbs and traffic signals. See this
update notice
for more details. They are also making good progress on the San Jose pedestrian overcrossing. Note the nighttime
full closure of Highway 1
Sept. 23-27 to accommodate bridge work. And if you’re out on Hwy 1 this Saturday enjoying the new paving, please be mindful of bicyclists participating in the
2018 California Coast Classic
ride.
Next Tuesday evening, Sept. 25 from 7-9 p.m. at the Community Center, there will be an informational meeting hosted by San Mateo County about the Ohlone-Portola Heritage Trail. Come learn how in 1769 this Spanish explorer, through the graciousness and knowledge of the Ohlone people, shaped the course of San Mateo County history.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you
for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica
!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
