High-speed Talk

Today's Daily Journal covers a high-speed rail meeting about Context Sensitive Solutions that was held yesterday in Burlingame.  While the article wanders a bit that is probably an accurate assessment of the meeting.  We learn that Belmont councilwoman Christine Wozniak

has previously said in council meetings that high-speed rail offers no benefit to Belmont and may impede the city’s ability to garner revenue out of property the city intends to redevelop around the tracks at Ralston Avenue.

and we learn that Burlingame councilwoman Terry Nagel

expressed concern about the time commitments elected officials and city staff would have to spend by participating in the process.

This weekend regular citizens from a local advocacy group called Don't Railroad Us will be on Broadway and Burlingame Ave. soliciting signatures on a petition against high-speed rail being built above ground in our town.  Please stop and listen to what they have to say.  If you haven't been to San Carlos lately, here is what the smaller, slow-speed "berm" looks like.

Nice, huh.

[Down With HSR]

HSR will promote sprawl into our state's rural areas. HSR is going to make huge profits for developers and the construction industry. The money should go to local transit instead of long distance transportation.
