Update on the Stanford Perimeter Trail

The university began construction of the new Stanford Perimeter Trail in May to improve trails and paths for bicyclists and pedestrians, and parking for vehicles.

Over the coming months, the campus community and the public should anticipate construction-related closures and changes.

Eastbound traffic on Stanford Avenue will close between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Raimundo Way starting Monday, June 15. Visit the Parking & Transportation website for additional information.
