Description:
The Cities of San Bruno and South San Francisco have partnered to sponsor a project to study the creation of grade separations at the railroad crossings located at South Linden Avenue in South San Francisco and Scott Street in San Bruno. The cities proposed three options:
- A. Do not build a grade separation at Scott Street.
- B. Build a grade separation at Scott Street that accommodates pedestrians and bicycles. The crossing will be closed to motor vehicles.
- C. Build a grade separation at Scott Street that accommodates pedestrians, bicycles, and motor vehicles. To build this option, the City would have to displace an unknown number of residents and businesses from properties near the crossing.
