What to expect next
Several items will require follow up by staff: SBCTA utility relocations will proceed to design and bid phases with subsequent contract awards; bus shelter maintenance invoices will begin quarterly reimbursement with VVTA; the demolition project will proceed to contract execution and abatement work; and the water utility relocations and pump/monitoring work tied to the US‑395 widening will require construction coordination to minimize service disruptions.
