XCAP will be presenting its final grade-separation report to the Palo Alto City Council at 5pm this Tuesday (March 23). Note this is a special Tuesday meeting, not the weekly Monday Council meeting. The Zoom link is listed in the Council agenda PDF:
Please make a short comment on Tuesday night. It is critical that Council understands the residents' rail opinions. Feel no obligation to make a long speech--simply stating your likes and dislikes is sufficient.
Verbal statements at the Council meeting carry the most weight, but also consider sending Council an email:
city.c...@cityofpaloalto.org
Emails to Council become public, so only include information that you want made public.
In particular, note that the final XCAP report makes no recommendation for Charleston/Meadow. To provide the information needed for an eventual Charleston/Meadow selection, XCAP recommends that the City perform additional engineering and also collaborate with Caltrain's own grade-separation study. Public opinion will help shape Council's decisions on this future work.
Thank you for staying engaged!
