El Camino Real is a state highway and major transportation corridor serving Redwood City and the Bay Area Peninsula. Through the years, it has developed into a roadway that is oriented to automobiles rather than to pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders. Redwood City is beginning a process to create a Corridor Plan for El Camino Real that will improve safety, mobility, economic development, and connections to Downtown and nearby neighborhoods.

The El Camino Real Corridor Plan will reexamine the policies and standards for the portion of the El Camino Real Corridor within Redwood City’s jurisdiction. In doing so, the Plan will help transform the Corridor into a “grand boulevard” that links neighborhoods and Downtown and is a destination itself. The Plan will achieve this by including urban design standards to ensure that new development is high quality, a plan for street improvements to make the Corridor more pleasant to walk along and safer to cross, and policies that support small businesses and a range of housing choices along the Corridor, as well as other elements. The Plan will not increase height limits or building densities/intensities beyond what is currently allowed in the zoning ordinance.

ABOUT THE PROJECTThe ultimate goal for this project is to produce an El Camino Real Corridor Plan to consolidate existing zoning districts, land uses and adopted plans into one cohesive document for the Corridor in Redwood City. Specific objectives for the project are:
