Middle Plaza’s El Camino Real improvements opening soon

Published on March 06, 2023

Stanford’s Middle Plaza development will be welcoming residents in the near future. As the development wraps up, there are several changes to the El Camino Real intersections at Middle Avenue and Cambridge Avenue that are about to open. 

At Middle Avenue, a new left turn lane was installed that allows access the Middle Plaza site. Caltrans will be programming the new signals and this will be opened soon. At Cambridge, the existing left turn lane that was used to access the Stanford Park Hotel now also accesses the Middle Plaza site. 

Before construction, there was only a single pedestrian crossing across El Camino Real at these two intersections. Now, pedestrians will be able to cross El Camino Real on both sides of each intersection. These signals are being programmed and will include new audible push buttons, new curb ramps at each location, and high visibility crosswalks.
