Palo Alto launches 'Shared Streets' pilot program

The City of Palo Alto's 'Shared Streets' pilot program is limiting through-traffic on three streets to give residents more space for outdoor exercise while physical distancing. Streets were selected based on existing bicycle routes, traffic volumes, thru- traffic movements, and high bicycling and walking areas. The city is collecting feedback from residents through an online survey as they evaluate expanding the pilot to other streets.
