Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan

The Town of Atherton initiated the Neighborhood Traffic Management Action Plan to address resident concerns about traffic-related issues throughout the Town. The intent of the plan is to identify potential traffic management and calming measures and strategies to enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility, and ultimately, the quality of life of Atherton residents.

The Town will be hosting two identical virtual workshops, on April 14 and 22, 2021, at 6:00 pm to share some proposed measures and strategies as well as priorities. Please register on the project website: www.athertontrafficmanagement.com to RSVP to one of the workshops and to subscribe and receive notifications regarding the project and website updates. These workshops initiate our next phase of public outreach on the project intended to solicit feedback on site specific measures and priorities.
