Street Lights on Marine & Bridge

You may have noticed that many streetlamps on Bridge Parkway and Marine Parkway have been dark over the past few days (including, at one time, the traffic lamp at the overpass connecting Belmont’s Ralston Avenue and Redwood Shores’ Marine Parkway.). This situation is an important matter for the safety of autos and pedestrians in Redwood Shores.

Redwood City Public Works Superintendent Mike Gibbons, M.P.A. spoke with RSCA representatives on December 9th and explained that street light electical has been in repair on Marine and Bridge. Its team has been busy replacing wires and bad fixtures as well as repairing broken conduit. This was expected to be repaired quickly (within 10 days,) but complications have increased the repair time. On December 20th, Mr. Gibbons gave us this update on the situation:

“They are making steady progress to get all of the damaged wire and conduits replaced and get all the lights back on as soon as they can. Our contractor is still working in the area and I met with them this morning to see firsthand some of the difficulties they are having tracing the wire in the conduit and making repairs. All of the lights on the north side of Marine Parkway, between the Belmont city limit and Oracle Parkway East are now on and some of the lights on the south side of Marine Parkway are working. I gave them the go-ahead today to cut a new trench to install new conduit and wire to connect one light pole to another one, rather than have them continue to dig individual holes looking for the broken conduit. They didn’t give me an estimated time for repairs and the weather and holidays will affect their schedule somewhat I’m sure.”

RSCA will continue to follow up with the city about the status of these repairs.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Evan Boyd has accepted my offer to become Redwood City’s next Public Works Services Director effective Sept. 7, 2010.

Following 14 years of management positions in the manufacturing and consulting sectors, in 2006 Evan became the general manager of Allied Waste Services of San Mateo County, where he has led a $120M business unit with 370 employees.

He holds a degree in business administration from Chapman University, and in 2007 was named to the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s “40 under 40 people to watch”.

Evan brings us a wealth of management and leadership experience, a passion for customer service, and many solid working relationships across our community and the County. He will be a major asset to the city’s executive team and our policy makers as we move into a future of resource challenges, clarification of core services, refinement of service delivery standards and measures, and our pursuit of shared services opportunities.

Please join me in welcoming Evan to Redwood City!
