Mountain View officials have coordinated with Google, Apple, Waze, etc., to update maps to show the Castro Street closure and alternate routes to downtown.
Q: I often drive on Central Expressway from Palo Alto toward Mountain View, and can’t believe they haven’t fixed traffic flows into downtown Mountain View yet.
I miss the ease of turning onto Castro Street on a whim, with its great shopping and dining. Instead, I pass, intending to turn around, then give up and continue on my way to another south/west valley opportunity.If the goal is to continue the “no cars on Castro” policy, one solution is to resolve restrictions at Evelyn and Castro. Only a few restaurants there would be impacted, along with pedestrians going to or from the Caltrain station. It’s highly fixable.
More and better expressway signage before Shoreline advising about access to downtown Mountain View would be helpful, in any case.A: With the permanent closure of Castro Street at the train tracks, Mountain View will be adding a ramp from Shoreline Boulevard to Evelyn Avenue and connecting Evelyn Avenue through Castro Street, providing direct access to the downtown and the Transit Center from Shoreline Boulevard.
