Los Altos residents will have the opportunity to voice their traffic concerns next week during a four-day intensive transportation study of the city. The study is intended to serve as a blueprint for the city’s future transportation plan.

Traffic planner Dan Burden and a team from Walkable Communities Inc. are scheduled to lead the study.

The city plans to incorporate the study results into the circulation element of its updated General Plan.

The Los Altos City Council hired planning consultant Cotton Bridges Associates earlier this year to update the city’s General Plan for $224,869.

Bridges plans to complete the Circulation Element by early 2002.

The traffic study is open to all Los Altos business owners and residents. The four-day study is scheduled as follows: “Visual Priorities” workshop 7-9 p.m., Sept. 6, at Grant Park; “Issues” workshop 7-9 p.m., Sept. 7; “Walking Audit,” 8-10 a.m., Sept. 8, beginning at City Hall; “Design Training” and workshop, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 8, Grant Park Multipurpose room; and “Final Presentation,” 7 p.m., Sept. 10, council chambers.
