Foothill Expressway (San Antonio Rd. to W. Edith Ave.)
Los Altos, CA

As part of the design approval for the new office building at 467 First Street, City Council requested a capital project be developed to provide additional screening trees in the landscape median on Foothill Expressway from San Antonio Road to W. Edith Avenue.

The Foothill Expressway corridor median is planted at irregular intervals with either trees or Oleander shrubs. No stretch of Foothill has continuous landscaping, and the commercial districts in some cases have no landscaping in order to heighten visibility. The corridor between San Antonio Road and W. Edith Avenue has the most continuous planting of median trees. This project will entail 36” box trees, 25’ on center, to fill in the gaps within the existing street tree pattern on the median of Foothill Expressway from San Antonio Road to W. Edith Avenue. Irrigation will be installed to support the establishment and health of new trees.

This project will be completed in coordination with TS-01018 Foothill Expressway Improvements.
