Belmont Invites Community to Alameda de las Pulgas, San Carlos Avenue Corridor Workshop

The following is a news release from the city of Belmont:

The City of Belmont invites residents, community groups, stakeholders, and others with interest in the corridor to attend a workshop and open house.

The Cities of Belmont and San Carlos along with the San Carlos School District and the Sequoia Union High School District have sponsored a traffic study of the Alameda de las Pulgas/San Carlos Avenue corridor between Ralston Avenue and Dartmouth Avenue-Club Drive.

The study has evaluated vehicular circulation and access, pedestrian safety, bicycle facilities and parking availability in the corridor. Through its work with the Technical Working Group, the consultant has developed several alternatives intended to increase safety and convenience in traveling through the corridor and accessing Carlmont High School and Tierra Linda Middle School.

The results of the work completed to date along with the alternatives will be presented at the following Workshop:

• Thursday, March 12
• 5:30-6:00: Open House
• 6:00-7:30:  Presentation and Public Input
• Location: Carlmont High School, Student Union, 1400 Alameda De Las Pulgas, Belmont

This workshop will give the community an opportunity to provide input on both current traffic/transportation problems in the corridor as well as the feedback from the community on the alternatives.

Public participation is an important and ongoing part of the study. The community will guide the vision and outcomes.
