The Glenview Area Restoration Project will restore the public infrastructure that was damaged due to the PG&E gas main explosion that occurred on September 9,2010. The infrastructure to be restored includes roadway pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, water, sewer and storm drain system. It also includes restoration of a neighborhood park at the southeast corner of Glenview Drive and Claremont Drive.

With input from neighborhood residents, the project will restore the area's infrastructure to a higher level than what was present before the explosion.

A community meeting at the San Bruno Senior Center was held on July 27 at 7:00pm. To view a PDF of the presentation, please click HERE (large file).

This project is administered by Caltrain and will elevate the Caltrain train tracks throughout much of San Bruno. The City of San Bruno has retained a construction manager to monitor construction activities and ensure that the project is completed to the City's expectations.
