COVID-19 Updates

Broadest Reopening Since State of Pandemic

The state announced that, beginning Wednesday, May 12th, many indoor businesses and activities in San Mateo County can reopen or expand as the risk from COVID-19 is “minimal.” The County is also now aligned with the State's face covering requirements.

The move to the state’s least restrictive yellow tier allows expanded capacity at restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, indoor businesses and other operations. The move into yellow officially takes effect Wednesday at 12:01 a.m.

This is San Mateo County’s first time in the yellow tier since the state last summer unveiled the color-coded Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The advance comes six weeks before Gov. Gavin Newsom has said the entire state may fully reopen on June 15.

Day work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Night work hours will be from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. These dates and times includes work being done in Menlo Park.

Atherton Station Platform Removal

Starting Monday, May 10th, Caltrain crews began moving the centerboard platform and pedestrian crossings at the Atherton Station. In November 2020, the Town of Atherton endorsed the closure of Atherton station subject to an Agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties. In December 2020, Caltrain approved the permanent closure of the Atherton Station.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and crews will return at a later date to place additional ballast along the tracks.

For more information, please email construction@caltrain.com or call Caltrain Customer Service at 1.800.660.4287.
