Bollinger Road Project
-
Bollinger Road is the boundary between Cupertino and San Jose.
In July 2021 (during Covid-19 pandemic), the City of Cupertino generated Bollinger Road Corridor Safety Study. The report provided many safety suggestions and two alternatives.
- Alternative A includes a lane reduction on Bollinger Road, from two travel lanes in each direction to one travel lane in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane.
- Alternative B maintains the existing lane configuration of two travel lanes in each direction.
