Project Description
Arastradero Road in Los Altos Hills, California, represents a significant thoroughfare for the Los Altos Hills Community in the case of catastrophic wildfire. From the intersection of Page Mill Road at Interstate 280 to the intersection of Arastradero Road and Old Adobe Road, this road provides an alternative egress that crosses under Interstate 280 granting access to Foothill Expressway. This portion of the roadway received roadside treatment of fuel in the fall of 2022 and needs maintenance.
To secure egress for all people along this evacuation route in the event of wildfire, the Los Altos Hills County Fire District (District) and Santa Clara County Firesafe Council (SCCFSC) propose a roadside treatment of hazardous fuels.
