Fellow, had been a student. Dr. Skinner was inducted into the Hall of Fame and gave an inspiring history of her journey that included Kennedy Middle School. D. Council Member Hartnett -- stated that Caltrain has floated a revamping plan of the train service from San Francisco to Gilroy due to substantial budget issues. Part of the plan includes the proposal to increase the number of baby bullet trains and one of the stops in the proposal is Redwood City. The proposal also includes reduction of service in terms of local trains because of the high cost of operating them. Specifically, the recommendation includes that four stations be closed; one in San Francisco; College Park in Santa Clara County; the Atherton station; and the Broadway station in Burlingame. There have been public hearings and there are meetings scheduled to discuss the proposal, but there must be massive changes to the service or the system will not be able to operate due to the deficit. 8.
