The Santa Cruz Ave/Alameda de las Pulgas Corridor Improvement Study project will evaluate possible roadway configuration alternatives along Santa Cruz Avenue from Sand Hill Road to Alameda de las Pulgas, along Alameda de las Pulgas between Santa Cruz Avenue and Sharon Road, and Santa Cruz Avenue from Alameda de las Pulgas to Sharon Road, to determine what safety and connectivity improvements can be achieved for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles.
