San Jose’s vision for smarter, safer streets: City studies how to best use curb space

WHILE SAN JOSE and the rest of society still hasn’t achieved the flying car future depicted in “The Jetsons,” city officials are hoping to make more efficient, safe and sustainable streets by studying how curb space is used.

San Jose is receiving about $2 million in federal funding to address how to best use limited curb space in downtown, where a growing number of people and services compete for room.
