Welcome to the Safe Routes to Downtown Los Altos Project!

Downtown Los Altos is a treasured amenity for both the Los Altos and the Los Altos Hills communities. With an ideal climate and residential neighborhoods surrounding on all sides, downtown Los Altos is well positioned to be a highly walkable and bike-able local urban core. However, the roads that frame the “downtown triangle” - Foothill Expressway, San Antonio Road, and West Edith Avenue - can be perceived as physical and psychological barriers to would-be walkers and cyclists interested in making trips downtown.

This project focuses specifically on Foothill Expressway and investigates ways in which the safety and attractiveness of pedestrian and bicycle access might be enhanced across Foothill at its intersections with Main Street and with West Edith Avenue.
