Glad to see progress on this front. Glad too that the city is conducting good outreach and eliciting public input. I would expect that the CA High Speed Rail would have their own design criteria yet I don't see any reference to these. Do both designs conform to their requirements?

Build The Wall! With that massive railway berm we're going to be just like San Bruno. How delightful.

Do it, do it all. You'll beat Palo Alto by a century after they tie an electric cord around their ankles and jump into a pool.

The rendering looks more like San Carlos and Belmont then San Bruno....
Design it however you like, just do it!
Like the big sidewalks on each side.

Would be good to expand the review to include a grade separation at Encinal Avenue...there are school children and parents driving kids to/from school down Encinal Ave, and it would improve safety for our kids by putting a grade separation there as well (though it's in Atherton, so maybe that's the issue). We need a more comprehensive plan for grade separation up and down the Caltrain corridor.

@Aaron, you are mistaken. Encinal between El Camino and Laurel is wholly in Menlo Park.
