SUNNYVALE SCHEDULES COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETING
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – The City of Sunnyvale has scheduled a community meeting to discuss the Mathilda Avenue Bridge Rehabilitation project. This project involves widening and modifying the Mathilda Avenue Bridge over Evelyn Avenue and the Caltrain right-of-way to address deficiencies identified by Caltrans.
Caltrans inspects bridges statewide on a biennial basis and has found the current bridge design does not meet several standards. These deficiencies include a failure to meet bridge pier clearance standards, acceleration lane design standards, shoulder width standards and bridge railing standards.
The community meeting will present new conceptual alternatives for the bridge rehabilitation. Among the concepts to be presented are designs that would exit downtown traffic from southbound Mathilda Avenue onto westbound Evelyn Avenue and then return that traffic eastbound toward downtown via a roundabout intersection on Evelyn Avenue.
City staff will be present at the community outreach meeting to receive public comment on the project. The meeting is scheduled on:
