CHAPTER 1 | MOBILItY <br />29 <br />SectION 1 .5 <br />S tReet Ne t WORK <br />AND c I R c U LAt I ON <br />CONTEXT <br />The alignment of the existing street network impedes mobil- <br />ity in parts of the Corridor. For instance, it is difficult to cross <br />El Camino Real and access downtown from the southern <br />neighborhoods, due to the lack of signalized intersections <br />that cross El Camino Real between Jefferson and Oakwood. <br />Additionally, El Camino Real cuts through the city’s larger <br />grid pattern at a slight angle, creating broad swaths of pave- <br />ment that are not part of the roadway, short and redundant <br />street segments, and small triangular shaped islands along <br />the Corridor. <br />WHY IMPROVE THE STREET NETWORK <br />CONNECTING TO THE CORRIDOR? <br />Improvements to the street network and circulation system <br />would benefit all modes of transportation by promoting <br />efficiency, safety, and better connectivity within and through <br />Redwood City. In addition, areas where there are awkward <br />geometries of underutilized pavement can provide opportu- <br />nities for creating attractive public spaces along the Corridor <br />that would increase vitality, support businesses, and improve <br />the Corridor’s aesthetics.
