Written by jrood

Rosanne Foust, Chair, San Mateo County Transportation Authority; Omar Ahmad, Caltrain Board; Jim Ruane, Mayor, City of San Bruno; and Ken Ibarra, Councilman, City of San Bruno are among the officials scheduled to attend a Nov. 18 celebration to kick-off the construction of the San Bruno, Calif., Grade Separation Project. The project will elevate the Caltrain tracks above San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues, replace the existing station at Sylvan Avenue; create three new pedestrian underpasses; and add 201 parking spaces and a "kiss and ride" lot at the station.

The multi-million-dollar project
will improve safety for motorists and pedestrians and reduce traffic congestion
to and from Highway 101 in the City of San Bruno.

Caltrain is a commuter rail
line operating between San Francisco and San Jose, with commute service to
Gilroy. Average weekday ridership on the mix of 90 local, limited and express
weekday trains is 40,000. Local, hourly service is provided on Saturdays and
