Forest Avenue Closed In Palo Alto For 3 Weeks

PALO ALTO, CA — A section of Forest Avenue in Palo Alto is closed for the next three weeks to accommodate a temporary relocation of Palo Alto Police Department's Communications Center from the basement of City Hall to the city's 40-foot-long mobile emergency operations unit.

Technology upgrades and facility improvements are taking place at the city's Communications Center, which handles all 911 calls and provides 24-hour dispatch services for police, fire, utilities, public works and animal control.

During this time, the 200 block of Forest — between Bryant and Ramona streets — will remain closed to though traffic during this time, although the sidewalks along both sides of the street will remain open, Palo Alto police advised.

Police officials say the temporary transition of the Communications Center will be seamless and are expecting no service interruptions.
