"After decades of dangerous crossings on the University Avenue overpass over U.S. Highway 101, bicyclists and pedestrians will be getting two new bridges linking East Palo Alto and Palo Alto. Construction on the first started in December.
When completed in June 2019, the East Palo Alto Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossing could be used by 130,000 to 230,000 people each year, according to a feasibility study.
Residents on the east side will be able to ride or walk from East Palo Alto's south side, at the intersection of Clarke Avenue and East Bayshore Road, to West Bayshore Road at Newell Road, where they can then access Edgewood Plaza shopping center and Rinconada Park, among other places.
Residents living in East Palo Alto's west side and in Palo Alto will be able to cross over the bridge to get to the regional trail system, (
