Road Clearance Progresses

Our contracted crews have been hard at work over the past few weeks in an effort to make the neighborhoods in the City's high fire hazard area more safe during an emergency.

While some roads may only have minimal work that needs to be done to reach our compliance standards, others have a ways to go. Now that we are in the 3rd year of WFSBAD road clearance, and with a few big fires behind us, homeowners are grasping what needs to be done to help ease evacuation conjestion and to aid emergency vehicles gaining access into their neighborhoods. We appreciate everyones hard work.

In the picture above crews are in the middle of clearing a tough section on Lasuen between Moreno and Alvarado.

Below are some before and after pictures of the same area.

Working on those Before and After Pictures

This is a small example of the work that we are performing through our annual vegetation road clearance project.

What you see in these two photos are before and after examples of the common hazards we are removing from the roadway within the City's High Fire Hazard Area:
-Dead Vegetation Removal
-Removal of Ladder Fuels
-Canopy Raising, Seperation and Removal of Dead
-Opening up the Visability of Roadway Signs for Evacuation and Emergency Equipment Response

Mission Ridge Road Clearance Starts Monday

Road Clearance will be moving to Mission Ridge Road on Monday September, 14th.

We will be clearing all dead, hazardous vegetation including any vegetation that blocks traffic visability and/or creats a fire ladder into the canopy on Mission Ridge Road from San Carlos to Mountain Drive.

In an effort to move through the area more safely and reduce the amount of time our project impacts the road we will have traffic slowed to 1 lane. We don't anticipate any wait longer than 5 minutes so please be patient with our crews.

Road Clearance Moves Through High Fire Hazard Area

The second week of vegetation road clearance is on its way. We have completed work on Morada, Ontare, Santa Teresita Way, Piedmont and Claremont in our first week.

We will be moving through the San Roque and Mission Ridge areas this week.

Stay tuned for some great 'Before' & 'After' pictures.

Road Clearance Underway

Yesterday marked the begining of this years Road Clearance project. The crews are begining in the N. Ontare area and will be progressing through the WFSBAD over the next month couple of months.

The contractor, Steel Tree Service, will be posting door knockers on affected homes a minimum of 3-4 days before work begins on each road. Please note that work time on eachvaries and crews may be backed up. If 3-4 days pass and they have not made it down your street, be patient, and know that they are shortly on their way.
