Roadway Fuel Reduction Project

The City of Brisbane, in conjunction with North County Fire Authority, requested and received grant funding from the State Coastal Conservancy for wildfire preparedness related to egress and ingress along targeted public roadways. During the month of August 2021, private contractors will be conducting wildfire preparedness tree trimming and roadway vegetation reduction work within the public right of way along the primary exit routes out of Brisbane:

• San Bruno Ave (Bayshore to Glen Park Way)
• Glen Park Way (San Bruno Ave. to Humboldt)
• Humboldt Rd. (from Solano to top of Humboldt)
• Visitacion (Klamath to Sierra Point Rd.)

The goal of this project is to minimize roadway vegetation, so as to slow fire spread from street to street, while providing a safer evacuation route for yourself and your neighbors.  Additionally, it will enhance ingress for our responding firefighters and first responders.

North County Fire Authority is working with Public Works so that 72 hour notices can go out before work starts so that residents of the affected roadways are well-aware of the work before it starts. A lane of traffic will be open at all times.  Should you have any questions or concerns about the Roadway Vegetation Reduction Project, please contact the North County Fire Authority Headquarters at (650) 991-8138.  We thank NCFA personnel for their hard work on securing this important grant for Brisbane as well as the Conservancy for their support in this wildfire preparedness work getting completed.
