The town of Atherton is seeking input from the community as it works to revamp the stretch of El Camino Real that runs through the town. This portion of El Camino, which runs from Selby Lane to Valparaiso Avenue, currently has inconsistent sidewalks, no bike lanes and little access to transit stops.
The town, in partnership with the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, aims to improve safety, connectivity and accessibility along this stretch of road.
Atherton will hold a virtual community meeting on Thursday, June 13, from 6-7:30 p.m. You can register for the meeting at ecrcompletestreets.com. After registering, you will receive a Zoom link to access the meeting.
At the meeting, community members will receive a presentation from town staff and SMCTA on the current infrastructure along El Camino Real, and potential changes that could be recommended. There will also be opportunities for community members to give feedback on potential changes they would like to see on El Camino Real from Selby Lane to Valparaiso Avenue, and ask Atherton and SMCTA staff questions.
Residents can also give town staff feedback about their priorities for the El Camino Real corridor through the El Camino Real Complete Street survey. The survey can be accessed at ecrcompletestreets.com, and will close on June 30, 2024.
The study will conclude with a formal complete streets plan in winter 2025, which will identify potential changes to the corridor based on technical analysis of traffic conditions, infrastructure requirements and input from the community and stakeholders.
