HOMESTEAD ROAD MEDIANS AND PATH

DESCRIPTION:
Currently there is no sidewalk or pedestrian pathway between the end of Grant Avenue frontage road and the Sunnyvale city limits along Homestead Road. A new ten foot wide pedestrian pathway along this route would have regional impact on improving pedestrian access as well as a safer bicycle access by connecting Foothill Expessway at the end of Grant Avenue frontage road to the Sunnyvale city limits. This project is further supported by Policy 4.5 in the 2002 General Plan that encourages separated pedestrian pathway along arterials and collector roadways like Homestead Road. The goal is to provide for the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and bicyclists throughout the City.
