Improving Travel Options and Quality of Life

The Town of Atherton is studying how to enhance safety and quality of life by providing a balanced variety of options for travel along a 1.5-mile segment of El Camino Real (State Route 82) from Selby Lane to Valparaiso Avenue. This is one of the final gaps in the county-wide effort to revitalize El Camino Real and improve travel options and quality of life for users of the corridor.

Phase 1 of the study was completed in Fall 2024 and included a technical analysis of existing traffic conditions, safety data assessment, infrastructure inventory, and identified potential needs grounded in stakeholder input and conversations with the local community.
