City: Construction Complete on 20 Homes Affected by San Bruno Fire

In an update released on the status of the destroyed and damaged homes in the Crestmoor neighborhood, the city shows that progress continues to be made since the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion.

Seven of the homes destroyed in the 2010 San Bruno fire have now been completely rebuilt, according to the city.

In addition to the homes that have been brought back to life since the PG&E pipeline explosion, 13 homes that were badly damaged during the blast have been repaired.

The city's website for the rebuilding of the Crestmoor neighborhood, Rebuildcrestmoor.org, gave the update.

In the update, the city released a map showing the progress the neighborhood has made in the 21 months since the explosion devastated the community. In all, 38 homes were destroyed, 17 homes were damaged and eight lives were lost in the disaster. In addition, a number of residents have left the neighborhood for good.

But the recent construction numbers from the city show that residents are determined to get their lives and neighborhood back.

According to the latest update, the following progress has been made as of Wednesday:

  • building permits have been issued for 11 of the homes that were destroyed in the fire
  • two of the destroyed homes are under building review
  • the city is inspecting two other destroyed homes under planning review
  • no rebuilding plans have been submitted for 16 homes that were destroyed
  • four permits have been issued for homes that were damaged in the fire

The map also shows which lots in the neighborhood are now owned by PG&E and the city.

Also 1650 Claremont Drive and 1660 Claremont Drive, which used to be neighboring homes, have now been merged and the new address will be 1658 Claremont Drive.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
