Millbrae lighting project phased garage floor closure for six weeks starting 2/2/2021
On Tuesday, February 2, 2021, sections of the garage at Millbrae Station will be closed for approximately six weeks to allow our contractor to retrofit and upgrade the garage lighting. The garage will be closed in stages to allow continued parking. Phase 1 as depicted on maps below is expected to last 4 weeks and phase 2 will be for 2 weeks. The first-floor passenger loading area will remain open the entire time.
This is part of a larger lighting improvement project that will upgrade and improve the lighting in 14 of our station garages throughout the system. This program will replace over 10,500 fixtures and add new lighting controls that will make the lighting in the garages more energy efficient, brighter, and in keeping with our sustainability goals.
Millbrae Station is the third garage in the project. Hayward garage was the first garage completed January of 2021. The rest of the garages will follow until the project is completed in October of 2021. We will provide updates as necessary during the project.
