Our Goals
We want to make it easier and safer to walk and bike to and from Sunnyvale Caltrain Station. We've begun a study to identify ways to do this. We hope the improvements lead to increased transit use by pedestrians and bicyclists. Improvements may include:
- New or improved walking and biking paths
- New or improved signs
- Safer street crossings
- Improved amenities at the station, such as bike parking, lighting and waiting areas

On July 29, 2025, City Council selected Design Alternative 1 for Tasman Drive between Fair Oaks Avenue and Vienna Drive. The project will include:
- Removal of one travel lane in each direction
- Install Class I Multi-use path on both sides of the street
The City Council asked the project team to to look into what it would take—and how much it would cost—to upgrade the current temporary eastbound lane closure on Tasman Drive so it meets ADA rules.
Current Status: We are searching for grants to help fund the Design and Construction phases of the project. We will also work through a future budget process to propose a Capital Improvement Project for the City Council to review.
