Document Description
The City of Mountain View proposes to make various streetscape improvements throughout the City’s four-mile El Camino Real corridor. The proposed improvements include adding Class IV protected bikeway facilities via parking removal between Rengstorff Avenue and Sylvan Avenue; adding curb extension and/or other pedestrian crossing enhancements at up to 32 intersections; providing other pedestrian crossing enhancements such as high-visibility crosswalk markings, advanced stop bars, and bicycle detection at intersections; and installing new conduit across El Camino Real and constructing three new signalized crossing installations at Pettis Avenue, Bonita Avenue, and Crestview Drive. All improvements would occur within the existing right-of-way. Minor curb line modifications may be required to create consistent curb lines for the proposed bicycle facilities. The proposed streetscape improvements would be incorporated into Caltrans’ El Camino Real repaving and ADA ramp installation project. The project would be overseen and implemented by Caltrans.
