The sound of trucks and power tools have become a common feature on the corner of Park Boulevard and Sherman Avenue near California Avenue in Palo Alto. Pedestrians have to cross the street in order to walk around the massive building being constructed there and may wonder what's under construction. It's the new Public Safety Building, which is the top priority project in the city's Infrastructure Plan , and it is set to be completed later this year.
