Volunteering is as easy as serving food in a senior center, picking up litter, planting a school garden, reading to a child, or educating families about important programs that can empower their lives.

Makeover in Progress for Our North Fair Oaks Sidewalks!

The Public Works team has been hard at work sprucing up the sidewalks of North Fair Oaks by carefully power washing them. To reduce their impact on traffic and pedestrians who frequent Middlefield Road businesses, the sidewalks have been cleaned overnight from 10pm to 6:00am.  There is still work left to do, and these efforts will continue through 2nd to 7th Avenues. 

We thank the County Department of Public Works for their work in helping beautify North Fair Oaks!

MEET NORTH FAIR OAKS’ ROAD MAINTENANCE TEAM!

NORTH FAIR OAKS’ ROAD MAINTENANCE TEAM

Who keeps your streets clean and safe in North Fair Oaks?

Roberto Montes (left) and Jose Rico-Ruiz. The duo are newly assigned by the San Mateo County Public Works Department to do everything from planting flowers to cracking down on illegal dumping.

Mr. Montes and Mr. Rico-Ruiz are both deeply familiar with the North Fair Oaks area as well as our community’s needs and challenges. In collaboration with other County Maintenance Workers, the team manages maintenance requests and mobilizes to provide extra support where needed the most. 

We are excited to have them join our community’s beautification efforts!

HAVE YOU NOTICED THE IMPROVEMENTS AROUND COLMA BART STATION? 

Colma Bart Station powerwashing

Dave Modena (Road Maintenance Supervisor) and the Department of Public Works Crew carefully power washed the steps and handrails leading down from Colma Bart Station onto Mike Nevin Way.  

Their work improved this area’s appearance and eliminated the dirt and waste that had accumulated there.  The difference this effort has made is quite apparent—this area now looks like new!

We thank the Department of Public Works for their work and for helping improve the look of this heavy-transited area!

Please do your part in helping us keep our community clean! If you would like to report any problems (such as illegal dumping, graffiti, or abandoned vehicles) please visit our website to direct your request to the appropriate agency.
