Working on the Coastside

Sup. Mueller | Advocating for time efficient road repairs for residents in Pescadero, La Honda, Skyline, Kings Mountain and Woodside

  • Highway 84 is open with temporary one-way traffic control as of July 27th, with the full reopening of SR-84 to be completed by the end of the year! As a critical access road for residents of La Honda, Skyline and Kings Mountain, I partnered with State Senator Becker, Assemblyman Berman, Caltrans, and the Town of Woodside to hold a townhall to hear concerns, problem-solve and provide transparency to the road repair process.  If you want to learn more about the process and details of the repairs, stay updated at https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-4/d4-projects/d4-san-mateo-84-storm-damage. 
  • Stage Road is currently in the design process and construction is on target to begin at the end of fall. We will provide another update once we have more information. 
  • Laguna Drive in La Honda is now fully repaired! The slip-out and road failure due to the January storms completely cut all access to several homes, and posed an imminent risk to a water main servicing 74 other residences and 14 fire hydrants serving lower La Honda. Without delay, Laguna Drive was fully repaired (by County DPW), the embankment was reinforced, and the underlying water main was secured.
  • Highway 35 / Skyline Boulevard status update. Responding to residents’ concerns about a landslide that threatens the integrity of Hwy 35 near Castanea Ridge Road, I organized a letter to Caltrans signed by me, State Assemblyman Marc Berman, State Senator Josh Becker and neighboring Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, urging them to begin immediate remediation of the landslide before the road actually collapses.
  • Kings Mountain Road will begin construction in September 2023! This is an emergency repair project that will include, in general, rehabilitating the damaged section of the road using stitch piers, base rock, asphalt pavement, and re-installing the asphalt dike and pavement markings.
  • Higgins Canyon Road is still on schedule with construction set to commence by October.
