Belmont City Council welcomed California Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Kevin Mullin to its Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2022 City Council meeting for a special presentation.

On Tuesday, we were very pleased to welcome California Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Kevin Mullin to our City Council meeting.

Assemblymember Mullin is a great advocate for our communities and we thank him for securing $3.5 million from the State toward our Belmont and San Carlos Alameda de las Pulgas Corridor Project, a significant step to gathering the rest of the funding needed to complete our safety project.

While at the meeting, Mr. Mullin congratulated the project team including our partners in San Carlos, Sequoia Union High School District, San Carlos School District, our consultants, staff and our Four Corners working group. He recognized the team for continuing to work and advocating for this years long interagency project aimed at creating a safer experience for all users of the corridor.

The project addresses congestion and mobility through roadway safety improvements. Improved on-site and near-site school drop-off and pick-up circulation for Carlmont High School and Tierra Linda Middle School, improved bicycle/pedestrian safety, circulation and access near housing, shopping and schools, and improved, transit enhancement and enhanced stormwater capture are elements of the project.
