San Bruno - road/train bridge construction


San Mateo County Times/Bay City News Service, 8/17/12.  "San Bruno:  Elevated Caltrain tracks take shape above downtown."

"A $147 million project to raise the Caltrain tracks 18 feet above three busy intersections in downtown San Bruno is about halfway completed, transit officials announced.

forsale
Raise the train tracks 18 feet, then lower the road four feet *
The San Bruno Grade Separation Project, which broke ground in November 2010, will elevate nearly a mile of Caltrain tracks above San Bruno, allowing multiple daily trains to pass safely above traffic and pedestrians on newly constructed bridges passing over intersections at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues.

....  The northern end of the project is adjacent to Interstate Highway 380, while the bridges are being constructed over San Bruno Avenue -- which connects to U.S. Highway 101 -- and San Mateo Avenue, which is one of the main surface streets that leads into to downtown San Bruno.  In addition, the new overhead tracks pass above BART's tracks to San Francisco International Airport. "   Read Article,  includes 7 construction pictures captions.

Reference -  Caltrain, "San Bruno grade separation project nears Half-way mark."

San Bruno, South San Francisco, Colma, Millbrae, Burlingame, Daly City, San Mateo all can. Why can't Pacifica?

uh ... because Caltrain doesn't go through Pacifica?

Why can't Pacifica do what?

Oh, I know - why can't Pacifica do grade separation on Highway 1 instead of widening?

It's only been talked about for 30 years. Fix Highway 1.

You hippies have no shame, first you cut off anyone who wants to bring revenue to town. Then you bankrupt the town.

Maybe some other freak show town will take all you hippies after the bankruptcy.

Brain dead rodent always with the "why not Pacifica" rant. Doesn't matter what's in the article or photo, he's going to ask "Why not Pacifica?". Be it Eiffel Tower, plane crash, the Queen and her Corgis, or an outbreak of Ebola, that ninny will ask...uh huh.
