In FY 2013-14, the City Council approved an update the Town’s Drainage
Master Plan. The Master Plan identified Tier 1 projects, those with the highest need based on
improving safety, reducing flooding, and mitigating environmental degradation as all being in the
upper reach of the Atherton Channel.
Projects that are identified as the Town’s responsibility will be assessed for deficiencies. Funding
in the first year of the CIP is proposed for engineering and surveying to identify areas of
responsibility, followed by design of high-priority improvements, and required environmental
permitting. This process typically takes a year or more to complete. Future years include funding
for project construction but are merely placeholder amounts for fiscal planning.
This program also includes the implementation of a Green Infrastructure Plan and as otherwise
required by the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Green infrastructure improvements would include: required stormwater
treatment measures associated with the Selby Lane Bicycle Lanes Project, roadway
improvements, and potentially on Lloyden Drive (at Fair Oaks) and on Polhemus Avenue as
identified in the Green Infrastructure Master Plan. Projects Not Budgeted but Planned for Future Years
o Task 1C: Replacement of failed culverts; Euclid, Polhemus, Camino al Lago,
Stockbridge and Carolina, Serrano, and Shearer intersection regrades, install new
swales and berms.
o Task 2: Relining side slopes and bottom of Atherton Channel downstream of
Alameda de las Pulgas.
Project is included in the Town of Atherton's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of November 17, 2023, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available. Funding is anticipated from 2023 to 2027.*
*Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
