RAIL CONVERSATIONS COMING UP
The City continues community conversations around solutions to increased traffic as Caltrain electrifies and more trains run through the Palo Alto corridor and what we can do to keep everyone moving and safe.
Grade separation is being considered on three existing at-grade crossings namely Churchill Avenue, Meadow Drive, and Charleston Road, with conversations underway to consider and possibly select preferred alternatives.
A new update shares details about ways to share input and what’s under consideration.
Rail Committee meets Thursday, May 23 at 2:30 p.m., City Hall Community Room Council consideration of Alternatives is set for Monday, June 10 at 5:30 p.m., Council Chambers www.cityofpaloalto.org/calendar
