It does not matter what some commission in Menlo Park wants. The Grand Boulevard Initiative contemplates bus-only lanes on El Camino from San Jose to South San Francisco. It has been decided.

Does the GBI have any teeth to enforce what it "decides"? I don't think so.

The GBI has NO statutory authority to require anything.
"The Grand Boulevard Task Force is a broad federation of interested public and private parties that challenges communities to RETHINK (emphasis added) the corridor’s potential for housing and urban development, balancing the need for cars and parking with VIABLE (emphasis added) options for transit, walking and biking."

Here is how the Palo Alto City Council responded on 12 Jan 2015 to VTA's proposal to use two ECR lanes exclusively for buses ala the GBI Vision:
"Palo Alto opposes dedicated lanes in Palo Alto."
MOTION AS AMENDED PASSED: 9-0

And it should be noted that there is a Motion to Reconsider the earlier MP Planning Commission vote to add bike lanes in Menlo Park; this is on the Planning Commission's agenda for 20 April.
