Construction on First Street in Downtown Los Altos calls for road and lane closures over the next few weeks
As a result of the progress of the private developments on First Street, there will be several street and lane closures on First Street over the next five weeks. This activity is being scheduled, as much as possible, to limit inconvenience to businesses and customers from Thanksgiving through New Year’s.
Each developer has submitted a traffic control plan that allows for traffic to flow through the downtown. City staff has carefully reviewed the requests so no two closures will occur at the same time. The closures will be set up each morning and removed at the end of the work day. The current schedule may change due to unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather. A summary of how the closures are being handled is noted below along with the currently scheduled dates.
