Transportation Projects
Overview
The Transportation Division, under the guidance of the City Council, the Bicycle Advisory Commission, and with the support of the community identify and prioritize transportation projects based on needs, safety goals, and consistency with long-range planning efforts such as the Local Roadway Safety Plan and 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Transportation staff then coordinate with the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Division, which is responsible for managing project delivery. Together, the two divisions ensure that transportation projects move from concept to completion, improving mobility and safety throughout Cupertino. Below is a list of the City's ongoing and recently completed projects.
The number one priority project identified by the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan was a separated Class IV bicycle lane on Stevens Creek Boulevard along the entire length of the Stevens Creek Blvd corridor from Tantau Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Phase 1, between Wolfe Road and Tantau Avenue, was completed January 2021.
