El Camino Real Complete Streets Redesign
Summary
SamTrans presented the Central El Camino Real Multimodal Plan — a shared vision for a safer, more walkable, bikeable and transit-friendly El Camino Real across four cities. Belmont's favored alternative includes separated bike lanes, wider sidewalks and preserved parking; final design selection comes in 2027-28. The council adopted a support resolution without committing to any specific design.
