Quarry Road Improvements and Transit Center Capital Project

The Quarry Road Improvements and Transit Center Access Capital Project is a cost-sharing agreement for design and engineering services managed by the City of Palo Alto Office of Transportation. The project focuses on constructing a transit vehicle roadway connecting the Palo Alto Transit Center to El Camino Real, which includes extending the transit center facility by approximately 210 feet to improve passenger transfers to Caltrain and other transit services. Additional scope includes the realignment of an existing multiuse path and the enhancement of the El Camino Real and Quarry Road crossing to support non-motorized transportation. The primary objectives of the project are to increase transit reliability, reduce travel time, and improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists in alignment with regional and Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan policies. Located in Palo Alto, California, the project is categorized under NAICS code 237310. Sylvia Star-Lack, the Transportation Planning Manager, serves as the primary point of contact and project planner. The project has been issued a Notice of Exemption as it constitutes a public mass transit guideway facility extension of less than four miles.
