The Altamont Road Evacuation Route Maintenance Project in Los Altos Hills, California, provides an important route of egress route for a significant portion of the western area of the Los Altos Hills Community in the event of a wildfire evacuation. To secure the integrity of this route, Los Altos Hills County Fire District and Santa Clara County FireSafe Council propose a roadside treatment of hazardous fuels.
Project Dates:
Project site:
The Altamont Road evacuation route maintenance project will treat one road along the evacuation route. The West end of the project is located at the intersection of Altamont Road & Page Mill Road and the East end of the project is located at the intersection of Altamont Road & Moody Road.
The Altamont Road portion is 2.2 linear miles, which equates to 4.4 mile when accounting for treatment on both sides of the road.
Goals for this project:
The goals of this project are to trim woody vegetation, prune trees, clear dead material and clear any hazard trees that may fall onto the roads. This project will provide an effective evacuation route during a wildfire, improve visibility and travel safety and to reduce the risk of roadside fire ignition.
In order to increase the effectiveness of the evacuation route and to complete the work, we need community participation. To have the brush cleared along your parcel please sign and mail the RIGHT OF ENTRY PERMIT (ROE) found below to and return by August 16, 2024 to the address below:
