What's next?

The City will be implementing a two-way full closure of the Embarcadero Way Segment (Phase 3) beginning June 2026 through the end of Summer. The Embarcadero Way Segment closure will be a closure to vehicular traffic but open to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. During this time, additional travel data will be collected just as the previous phases and will be analyzed as part of a final report. City Staff will present the final report to City Council along with recommendations for the Embarcadero Way Segment. City Council will decide to convert Embarcadero Way to one of the four options described below based on data and feedback gathered:

1. Revert traffic back to two-way;
2. Convert to one-way northeast from Marina Ct Dr to Mission Ave;
3. Convert to one-way southwest from Mission Ave to Marina Ct Dr;
4. OR, Close Embarcadero Way between Mission Ave to Marina Ct Dr to all vehicle travel.
