City of East Palo Alto

Big News! The City of East Palo Alto’s Second Pedestrian Bridge is Nearing Completion! ?? Since the City’s incorporation, connecting residents from the west side to the east side has been a top priority. Soon, East Palo Alto will have two pedestrian bridges linking our neighborhoods and making it safer and easier to walk or bike across the city. Our City Councilmembers and City staff recently toured the new bridge and got an exclusive look at its innovative design. The bridge is engineered with expandable joints to enhance durability and withstand earthquakes, a vital feature for our region. We’re excited to open this bridge soon and continue building a more connected and resilient city. . . . #EastPaloAlto #PedestrianBridge #EarthquakeResilience #CityofEPA

The community showed up and showed out during a community meeting on City Council strategic priorities! Community members shared valuable input on our city's strengths, challenges, and priorities—including emergency preparedness, public safety, economic and workforce development, affordable housing, and quality of life services. Following the interactive workshop, City Council held a study session, and many of their top priorities aligned with what the community shared. Your voice matters—let’s keep the conversation going!

City staff recently toured Colibri Commons, an exciting new development that will bring 136 affordable housing units, community spaces, and transit passes to EPA residents. This transformative project is made possible through a strong partnership between our Community and Economic Development Department, MidPen Housing Corporation, and East Palo Alto Community Alliance and Neighborhood Development Organization (EPACANDO), working together to create more housing opportunities for our community. Join us in celebrating this win for our community ?? Stay tuned for more progress updates!
