Please join staff and City Council on Feb. 14, 2023, at the City Council meeting to receive an update on the Middle Avenue Complete Street project for the selection of a preferred bikeway design.

The Middle Avenue Complete Street project is a City Council priority with the following objectives:

  • Enhance bicyclist and pedestrian visibility and improve safety of all street users
  • Provide safe and comfortable cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and encourage sustainable mode of transportation
  • Increase accessibility of the corridor by supporting improvements related to Middle Plaza and ongoing study of the grade-separated pedestrian and bicycle crossing

On Oct. 18, 2022, the City Council approved a series of pedestrian/bicyclist crossing and traffic calming measures, including the installation of an all-way stop at Middle Avenue and San Mateo Drive, temporary closure of Blake St. at Middle Avenue, traffic calming at regular intervals, and directed staff to return with options for bikeway implementation.
