Palo Alto's City Council reviewed a proposal to enhance the car-free California Avenue with improvements like planters, new road designs, and a modern aesthetic. The plans aim to invigorate the space, which has already seen closures since 2020. Two concepts were presented, one focusing on minor adaptations while the other emphasizes major changes, including creating a vibrant public area. The council showed strong support for the ambitious plans despite caution regarding costs and timelines, with hopes to make Cal Ave a sought-after destination in the Bay Area.
The opportunity to completely reimagine one of the community's downtown shopping cores rarely comes... this is really a once in a generation opportunity for us.
I see us being able to have something that could rival Santana Row within 10 years... really create California Avenue as a destination for shopping and dining for the entire Bay Area.
