Fairfax Looks To Extend Sir Francis Drake Emergency Declaration

FAIRFAX, CA — Fairfax’s Town Council later this week will consider a resolution to extend the emergency declaration at the site of a failed retaining wall.

The extension of the declaration in the area of 2378 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., where last month a winter storm felled a retinting wall that left a 15-foot void.

The council at its Dec. 15 meeting backed a resolution declaring a local emergency at or near 2378 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, authorizing the emergency procurement of materials and labor without competitive bidding.

Crews from Maggiora & Ghilotti are attempting to finish the work before the next weather system comes through.

Traffic will be limited to one lane as the crews work on the site. Read the staff report declaring the local state of emergency here.
