About the Project:
A key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program is the electrification of the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th Street and King Street Station to the Tamien Station in San Jose. The project will replace the diesel-hauled trains with Electric Multiple Unit trains. This will improve Caltrain system performance, enable more frequent and/or faster train service, and reduce long- term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrain electrification is scheduled to be operational by 2022.
Please visit the Caltrain website to sign-up for weekly construction updates. If you have questions or comments about the upcoming work, please call the Caltrain dedicated Project Hotline at 650.399.9659.

Between Monday, February 11 and Friday, February 15, construction will continue with intermittent lane closures along El Camino Real.

With all the new residential buildings which will add many more people to the city, I see NO traffic flow improvements or wider roadways and streets. How is the city going to respond to the added traffic and parking problems other than adding a few white lines and a couple of signals?
