Miramonte Avenue Path - CANCELLED

The Los Altos Bicycle Transportation Plan places a high priority project to upgrade the existing bicycle route on Miramonte Avenue to a bicycle path between Mountain View at the north end to Foothill Expressway at the south end. This project also includes drainage improvements along the street since it will have to be widened. Curb and gutter work is not included. The bicycle path project would have a regional impact on improving pedestrian and bicycle access by connecting the existing bicycle lane along Miramonte Avenue in Mountain View to Foothill Expressway.

The pathway connects the residential neighborhoods in Los Altos and unincorporated Santa Clara County with commercial centers in Mountain View. It may reduce traffic on Foothill Expressway and Miramonte Avenue by encouraging bicycling, reducing congestion in this corridor, and increasing capacity for pedestrians and bicyclists. The project is currently carried as a Tier II by VTA. 

This project received and Vehicle Emission Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS) grant in the amount of $1,000,000 for FY18/19. Therefore, the project will be phased to take advantage of this grant. Improvements on Miramonte from Covington to Berry will be constructed in FY18/19. The remained will follow.
