Project Description
Portions of Moody – El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills, California represent a significant thoroughfare for the Los Altos Hills Community. This road serves as egress and ingress for emergency services. To secure the integrity of egress/ingress, the Los Altos Hills County Fire District proposes a roadside treatment of fuels.
Project Site
The Moody – El Monte evacuation route project will treat seven (7) roads along the evacuation Route and will include Moody Road, Tepa Way, Summit Wood Road, La Loma Drive, Prospect Avenue, Stonebrook Drive, El Monte Road, and the I280 – El Monte Road Cloverleaf/Interchange.
The Western end of the project is located at the intersection of Moody Road and Page Mill Road (37.360812, -122.170053). The Eastern end of the project is located at the intersection of Summerhill Avenue and El Monte Road. (37.365639, -122.115522).
The length of the project is approximate and will be split in to two phases that encompass the following streets:
Phase 1:
- Moody Road – 2.8 linear miles, which equates to 5.6 mile when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.360801, -122.170057 to 37.358520, -122.129449)
- Tepa Way – 0.2 linear mile, which equates to 0.4 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.357273, -122.134789 to 37.355382, -122.132834)
- Summit Woods Road – 0.4 linear miles, which equates to 0.8 mile when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.355382, -122.132834 to 37.353662, -122.131296)
- La Loma Drive – 0.3 linear miles. Which equates to 0.6 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.353662, -122.131296 to 37.354473, -122.127912)
- Prospect Avenue – 0.4 linear miles. Which equates to 0.8 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.354473, -122.127912 to 37.354133, -122.121722)
- Stonebrook Drive – 0.4 linear miles. Which equates to 0.8 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.354137, -122.121745 to 37.3596813, -122.1220280)
- El Monte Road – 0.6 linear miles. Which equates to 1.2 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.358520, -122.129382 to 37.359883, -122.121940)
Phase 2:
- El Monte Road – 0.5 linear miles. Which equates to 1 mile when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road. (37.359883, -122.121940 to 37.365614, -122.115531)
- I280 Cloverleaf at El Monte Road – 2.1 linear miles. Which equates to 4.2 miles when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road.
The total treatment of the project is approximately 7.75 miles in length which equates to 15.5 miles of treatment when accounting for both sides of the route.
