The Charcot Avenue Extension was added to the City’s planned roadway network in 1994 when the San José 2020 General Plan was adopted. Its purpose is to provide a safe multi-modal facility to improve the roadway network connectivity in the area. Objectives include:
- Improve connectivity between residential areas on the east side of I-880 and the North
San José commercial area on the west side - Increase the capacity for east/west travel across the I-880 corridor
- Provide a safe bicycle/pedestrian facility over I-880
