University Streetscape Project Survey Open Now University Avenue serves as a focal point of Palo Alto’s downtown and is a unique commercial district serving residents, visitors and businesses and is the main route to Stanford University. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted local businesses and the City closed a section of University Avenue to facilitate outdoor dining and enhance the retail experience in an effort to support these businesses. When University Avenue was re-opened to vehicular traffic in Fall 2021, the City launched the University Avenue Streetscape Project, a new effort to build upon this experience and reimagine infrastructure changes enhancing this important commercial district and re-shaping the future of University Avenue and Downtown Palo Alto alike.
