Arastradero Road in Los Altos Hills, California, represents a significant thoroughfare for the Los Altos Hills Community. Therefore, this road exists as egress in the case of fire. To secure this egress’s integrity, Los Altos Hills County Fire District and Santa Clara County Firesafe Council propose a roadside treatment of fuels.
Project Dates:
- Deadline to turn in ROE – October 31, 2022
- Start Date – November 28, 2022
Project site:
Arastradero Rd in Los Altos Hills, starting at the intersection of I-280, Page Mill Rd, and Arastradero Rd and heading southeast towards Fremont Road. The project will conclude at the intersection of Arastradero Rd and Fremont Rd. The total length of road in the project area is two miles one way. Therefore, the treatment will be 4 miles, including both sides of the roads.
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 found below no later than 10/31/22 to:
