Project Description
Robleda Road in Los Altos Hills, California, provides a significant route of egress/ingress for the central portion of the Los Altos Hills Community in the event of a wildfire. The 3.5 stretch of California Interstate 280, from the Moody Road/El Monte Road interchange to the Page Mill Road Interchange, Robleda Road is one of only three underpasses utilized to escape towards the east and reach Foothill Expressway.
To secure the integrity of this egress/ingress route, Los Altos Hills County Fire District and Santa Clara County FireSafe Council propose a roadside vegetation treatment of the hazardous fuels along the route.
