Subsurface Utility Exploration for the Palo Alto Grade Separation Project

[PROJECT TITLE CONTINUED]: (Churchill Avenue, Seale Avenue, Meadow Drive, and Charleston Road Crossings) The proposed project consists of temporary subsurface utility investigation activities to support ongoing design and engineering of the City of Palo Alto Grade Separation Project (Grade Separation Project). Work would occur at 13 locations within the existing developed transportation corridors associated with Churchill Avenue, Seale Avenue, Meadow Drive, and Charleston Road crossings. Activities would include utility designations services and air-vacuum potholing – activities to verify the location, depth, size and material of existing underground utilities. The utility investigations will be conducted in accordance with applicable encroachment permit, traffic-control, and notification requirements. Potholes would be restored following the completion of investigation activities. The purpose of this project is to collect information needed to support utility coordination, engineering design, and utility relocation activities associated with the proposed grade separation improvements. Beneficiaries include Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain), the City of Palo Alto, utility owners, and the public.
