just a quick reminder for SF peninsula residents who may not be aware of this yet: Palo Alto is hosting a public workshop on HSR implementation in the SF peninsula on behalf of the Peninsula Cities Consortium. This body also includes Menlo Park, Atherton, San Mateo and Belmont.
Among the topics that will be discussed are:
• What are the myths and realities about the Peninsula project?
• What are best practices from around the world?
• What have other cities experienced during construction of a major railroad in an urban setting?
• Why can’t it be tunneled all the way?
• What impact will eminent domain have on backyards and grade crossings?
