Update on Caltrain's Bayshore Station Overpass Rehabilitation Project
The construction work on the Bayshore Station's overpass, stairs, and elevator is almost complete, with Caltrain expecting to fully reopen the pedestrian overpass on Monday, August 7th. The shuttle service that had been aligned with train service will be discontinued, and passengers will be able to continue to board trains on the three most northern cars from both platforms. This is one step closer to the project's completion, with the project anticipated to be finalized by the end of the year.
C/CAG Local Roadway Safety Plan Virtual Kick-Off Meeting
A friendly reminder that C/CAG is developing a Countywide Local Roadway Safety Plan (LSRP) to improve motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrian safety on local streets and roads throughout San Mateo County. Every year, people are killed or seriously injured due to speeding, running red lights, and other factors that put other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians at risk. Development of a LRSP will help San Mateo County get funding to build roadway improvements that will positively impact everyone residing in and traveling through San Mateo County, especially the most vulnerable communities. Visit the project webpage for upcoming public meetings, pop-up events, and other ways to get involved with the development of the Countywide LSRP, starting with a virtual kick-off meeting next Thursday via Zoom:

Congratulations to Brisbane Resident and Educator, Jessica Tiatia
This past week, we learned that the San Mateo County Office of Education had selected Jessica Tiatia as one of the Office of Education's Changemakers! SMCOE Changemakers use their passion and knowledge to bring environmental justice and sustainability into their schools. And she's done so by partnering with Ariel and Carly of San Bruno Mountain Watch and Mission Blue Nursery. Together, they've developed a native plant garden at Westmoor HS, and have motivated the student body to tend to it! Kudos to you, Jessica!
