It's about time - let's move Caltrain out of the dark ages! It's really the spine of commuter transportation on the Peninsula.

Thanks, Mr President.
Now... raise it!
I spend occasional nights all over the peninsula, and it's amazing how noisy San Mateo, RWC, Menlo Park etc.. are compared to San Bruno, San Carlos, Belmont.
San Bruno, San Carlos, Belmont are immensely quieter. Traffic also flows much better. Those towns Got It.
I come back here and all I here are horns and gate bells.
Tho... the airplanes are louder up north.

Atherton, if you care even one bit about our communities in the Bay Area, stop sabotaging goals that will help regular people like us from getting to work! Stop exploiting the environmental review process to hinder improvements to the environment!

Now if Obama will just let Loretta Lynch do her job then that would offset a multitude of sins he has committed over the last 7 years.
We want Hillary to live in public housing again but with more spartan living conditions, preferably the USDB in Kansas.

@YIMBY
Even if Atherton steps aside, there are two other advocacy groups that would push ahead with this EIR lawsuit. CEQA dictates that anyone can file a lawsuit and cause these delays.
If you want to stop some people from exploiting the environment review process, you need to push the legislature to change the law to prevent this abuse.
