CONVERSATION. From Nextdoor, June 28th, 2023.
Miramar bike pedestrian bridge opening date.
I got this email back from Alex at San Mateo county regarding the bridge crossing opening date:
“Our design team spent some time to survey and re-design the concrete staircase after the bridge installation. The Department of Public Works also had to deal with environmental permit extension and pre-construction surveys.
Now that the staircase re-design and permit extension have been completed, our contractor is prepared to resume work beginning July.
During all this time, the new bridge is within a construction zone, which poses potential safety hazards. Opening the bridge to the public now will become increasingly difficult when the contractor resume work in July. Therefore, the Department is working with the contractor for viable options to partially open the bridge during non-construction hours.”
Further details will be posted on the San Mateo County project webpage.
Question from Nextdoor
- So the stairs go to the creek area? That’s cut off at high (or mid) tide?
- Was the framing for the stairs washed out in the January 2023 storms?
- Can the County separate the stairs from the bridge project? One worker told me there are additional delays because of water intrusion into the stairs work area?
- Can the contractor reconfigure the fencing to block off the unfinished stairs and open the bridge?
- Why are stairs required when there is a natural access point to the beach 50 yards south of the bridge?

Disgraceful, and of course, no accountability. I can assure you in China this would be accomplished by the deadline, if otherwise, and if you were the project manager, you could expect your organs to be harvested.
Really? 4 years for a simple bike bridge? Only in America…..
