Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) 205 Project

May 22, 2003 JPA Board Meeting

A flood control project for San Francisquito Creek was approved by the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Board at the May 22, 2003 meeting. The funding for San Francisquito Creek was made available through the Continuing Authorities Project (CAP) 205, a program of the Army Corps of Engineers-San Francisco District Office. The Federal offer of $7 million is for construction work along the 14-mile system that runs from Interstate 280 to the bay. The board requested that the project -- granted to the JPA by the Army Corps last summer -- focus on the portion of the creek between Highway 101 and the San Francisco Bay.

Potential plans selected for the Army Corps' consideration include adding flow capacity at Highway 101 with a new culvert, widening the channel below 101, or creating a second channel, or flood basin, inside Palo Alto's municipal golf course. Also to be studied will be solutions that increase the creek's capacity, stabilize the banks, and/or deal with in-stream impediments to high flows.

Creek neighbors, frightened by the threat of flooding and eager to see something done immediately, want the $10 million project to be the first step in safeguarding all those living near the creek. It is expected to take three to five years, beginning with the Army Corps' study, and would require approximately $3 million of local matching funds. It would also add security for Palo Alto and East Palo Alto residents and businesses most vulnerable to raging creek water.

The following PowerPoint presentation was made at the May 22, 2003 JPA Board meeting (6.5MB in PDF format):
