NOTICE OF PROJECT

Dear Resident, Business Owner, and/or Property Owner:

The City of Redwood City will begin a roadway resurfacing project in your area soon. The project is part of the City’s ongoing roadway management program. Roadways will be resurfaced with a material known as “microsurfacing”. Microsurfacing is a cost-effective preventative maintenance measure that provides a durable, smooth, and safe roadway surface.

The project consists of the following activities, to be done by two main contractors:

  • American Asphalt:
    • Repair damaged pavement on Marine Parkway
    • Remove traffic striping, pavement legends & raised pavement markers
    • Apply a thin layer of microsurfacing seal
    • Install temporary markings
  • Chrisp Company:
    • Install permanent traffic striping, pavement legends & raised pavement markers

Construction is expected to start in July and end in September.

The contractor will distribute notices with more detailed information about 1-2 weeks before the microsurfacing activity starts. Striping will follow 1-2 weeks after the microsurfacing application.

Residents and motorists in the project area may experience some delays and inconveniences during construction including periodic lane closures, street closures, detours, temporary parking displacement, dust, and loose gravel. “No Parking” signs will be posted at least 48 hours in advance. Please be particularly cautious during construction and if possible, use alternate routes to avoid delays.

General work hours will be between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. For some locations, work hours will be more limited to reduce the impact on commute traffic. Some night and weekend work may be approved to reduce traffic impacts. Streets will normally be reopened to traffic by 5 pm. However, they may be closed later if needed to allow the new surface to fully cure. Appropriate construction signage will be posted as needed. Access to properties will be maintained at all times for residents, patrons, owners, and emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, etc.).

Please see the map/streets list for the specific street sections that will be surfaced as part of this project. For more information about this project, visit Redwood City’s website at https://www.redwoodcity.org/city-hall/current-projects/infrastructure-projects?id=129 .

For questions, please contact:
• Project inspector – Suhail Ansari at (650) 400-9854

Silicon Valley Clean Water Project Construction in June

SVCW

A project to rehabilitate the existing biosolids drying beds at Silicon Valley Clean Water’s treatment plant at 1400 Radio Road is nearing completion and will require cement trucks traversing Redwood Shores Parkway for three days in June, all concentrated between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for their roundtrips. The current schedule, which may change as construction conditions change, is:

  • 6/11 – Thirty-five (35) trucks
  • 6/17 – Fifty-five (55) trucks
  • 6/22 – Fifty-five (55) trucks

The project has significant environmental benefits by lining the beds and by making the drying process much more efficient. The work includes lime stabilization of the existing soil base, a new concrete floor and access ramps, internal roadway improvements, and a new decant system and pump station. The overall drying bed area is not increasing.

In the long term, the improvements will reduce the number of trucks leaving the SVCW site annually from about 600 to about 300 and significantly reduce biosolids disposal costs.

Road Work Ahead

Redwood City’s Public Works Service Department would like you to take notice of  upcoming road repairs in Redwood Shores.

Safety First: PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION AROUND ROAD REPAIR SITES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS!

Redwood City is  planning to conduct road repairs on Redwood Shores Pkwy, Bridge Pkwy, and Shell Pkwy, beginning this week. Most of the asphalt and curb damage is due to tree roots from the nearby trees. The work will be performed by the City’s contractor, SpenCon Construction. No trees will be removed as a part of this work.

This information has been communicated to the Redwood Shores community at the general membership meeting last week and we will advertise the work with changeable message sign boards which will be parked on Redwood Shores Parkway to alert drivers of the upcoming work.

The street messages will read: ‘Road Work Next 2 weeks’. Work in the area should begin by the end of this week, weather permitting.

Thank you in advance for your patience and for driving safely!

Redwood City Neighborhood Street Improvements Scheduled to Begin in September

As part of its roadway preventative maintenance program, Redwood City is about to start road resurfacing projects on a number of neighborhood streets. This will provide smoother, safer, improved roadways – but will cause some inconvenience to residents and motorists in these areas during the work.

The work is scheduled to begin Wednesday, September 1st, and will be completed in approximately eight-to-ten weeks.

Below is a list of streets scheduled for this work, beginning with Redwood Shores locations.

  • Shoreway Road from Redwood Shores Parkway to the City Limits at U.S. 101
  • Redwood Shores Parkway from Shoreway Road to the City Limits at U.S. 101
  • Alameda de las Pulgas from Woodside to Massachusetts
  • Fernside Street from Alameda to Massachusetts
  • Fernside Street from Carson to McGarvey
  • Goodwin Avenue from Fernside to Alameda
  • Roosevelt Avenue from Hudson to El Camino
  • Hopkins Avenue from the City Limits west of Alameda to El Camino
  • Circle Road from Whipple to Hopkins
  • Edgewood Road from the City Limits west of Alameda to El Camino
  • Canyon Road from Jefferson to the City Limits near Cordilleras
  • Massachusetts Avenue from Fernside to Woodside
  • Crompton Road from Alameda to Dover
  • Vera Avenue from Crompton to Alameda
  • Dover Road from Jefferson to Alameda
  • Devon Way from Jefferson to Oak Ridge
  • Oak Ridge from Jefferson to Dover
  • Lancaster from Jefferson to Dover

 Neighbors are being notified of scheduling and details of the work, and appropriate “No Parking” signage is being installed. The short-term inconvenience consists of a requirement to keep cars off the street during certain portions of the work, and to park cars off the street for approximately two days after the work.

The City will take all reasonable measures to minimize the impact of construction activity in neighborhoods, though some inconvenience is unavoidable. Motorists should expect periodic lane closures, detours, some dust, and temporary parking restrictions during construction.  All roadway users are asked to be particularly cautious during construction.

Overall work hours will be 7:30 am until 4 pm. During the main part of the work, streets will normally be reopened to traffic by 5 pm. However, streets may be closed later if necessary to allow the new surfacing to fully “cure.”

In general, the process for this resurfacing project will involve two phases, Prep Work and Slurry Seal/Overlay:

  • Prep Work – repair failed areas and low spots, seal large cracks with filler material, and remove weeds;
  • Slurry Seal – on local, low volume streets and some major streets in good condition, loose material will be swept up, and a final coating of a thin sand and oil mixture will be applied to “seal” the street. Smaller streets may be closed entirely for up to four hours after the seal is applied.  Until that seal is dry, neighbors are cautioned to keep cars, children, and pets from coming into contact with the roadway, as the seal material is very difficult to remove from rugs, clothing, etc.

OR (on selected streets)

  • Overlay – on local streets in poor condition and major streets, loose material will be swept up, and a two inch layer of new asphalt will be placed on top of the existing surface.  Until the asphalt has cooled, traffic controls will be in place to direct vehicles around the new asphalt.  Drivers are asked to proceed carefully and look for signs to direct traffic.

The City thanks residents and motorists for their patience as it works to improve Redwood City’s roadways, and apologizes in advance for any inconvenience.
