Palo Alto Transportation and Street Safety Plans Advance

Council selected the at-grade bike-lane design for the Quarry Road busway; a separate Nov. 16 vote on appointed-officer raises is still pending. The Rail Committee recommended dropping the El Dorado bike-tunnel option, revisiting Loma Verde, and exploring El Carmelo, with Council consideration scheduled for Dec. 7. Council also approved Bryant Street traffic-circle and crosswalk upgrades and requested study of speed tables and a lower speed limit; construction timing remains unsettled.
