Project Description:

The Magdalena / I-280 Interchange in Los Altos Hills, California, provides a significant route of egress/ingress for the northern portion of the Los Altos Hills Community in the event of a fire. To secure the integrity of these egress/ingress routes, Los Altos Hills County Fire District and Santa Clara County FireSafe Council propose a roadside treatment of hazardous fuels.

Project Dates:

  • Initial treatment is scheduled to begin October 13, 2026.
