Where did the proposal to redesign Embarcadero Road come from?
The goal of redesigning Embarcadero Road is set forth in the Comprehensive Plan – Palo Alto’s transportation and land use “constitution”. The Comprehensive Plan was developed from 1993 to 1996 in a public process involving over 20 public meetings, four weekend workshops, newsletters and comment forms delivered to all Palo Alto households, a telephone survey administered to a random sample of 400 Palo Alto households, and the input of a 38-member Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee. The Plan was unanimously approved by the City Council in 1998.
