CIRCULATION FRAMEWORK
from Millbrae Downtown & El Camino Real Specific Plan / Broadway & El Camino Real Streetscape Plan
by wrtdesign
El Camino Real, Broadway, and Millbrae Avenue are the primary vehicular circulation paths within the Plan Area. The Specific Plan identifies them as key transportation and streetscape enhancement projects. El Camino Real is envisioned as a multi-modal complete street with a modified configuration to accommodate separated bike lanes in each direction, as well as improved sidewalks and crossings for pedestrian safety. Millbrae Avenue will also have new bike lanes and shared bicycle and pedestrian paths that connect with the Bay Trail. Broadway Avenue, as the main downtown street, is envisioned to have an enhanced streetscape, reconfigured on-street parking, and parklets for outdoor cafés or other recreational uses.
El Camino Real will be a multi-modal corridor with well-managed traffic flow that provides a safe environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. The corridor will have a mix of new development, including multifamily residential, offices, hotels, conference/ meeting spaces, cultural amenities, retail, and restaurants that create a human-scaled environment. It will be a vibrant district with active ground floor uses, safe sidewalks, highquality public realm, an enhanced streetscape, and a cohesive built form. Transportation improvements within the Plan Area will support the needs of the youngest to the oldest community members, by offering multi-modal transportation choices. The ease of connectivity between existing neighborhoods, Downtown, the El Camino Real corridor, and the Station Area will be a distinguishing characteristic of Millbrae. The city will exemplify a high quality of life and ensures safety for all.
