Dear Community Members,
Construction is underway along Westlake Ave for the Route 40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor Project.
To learn more about what to expect during construction, please visit the project webpage which provides detailed information on construction activities and construction locations in Fremont and along Westlake Ave. You can also read our SDOT blog post.
What's happening in Westlake?
Crews continue trenching across the parking lot south of Halladay St to install conduit. In addition, crews continue demo work and the installation of a new pedestrian curb ramp near the Westlake Cycle Track. We're also continuing to work on a new pedestrian signal, street improvements, and upgraded sidewalks.
Street upgrades on Crockett St and Westlake Ave has started. Please expect to see some driving lanes closed and bus stops temporarily moved. Sign up for transit alerts to get up to date information.
Work on 8th Ave N and Galer St is starting as soon as early February. Neighbors can expect to see temporary street and sidewalk closures during construction.
Community Impacts:
- Noise, dust, and increased vehicle traffic.
- Temporary parking restrictions, driveway closures, and traffic adjustments.
- Night and weekend work to reduce daytime disruption.
- Potential short-term utility service impacts.
- Please use caution driving over metal plates.
