The November 13th staff report, and an Executive Summary describing the Dumbarton Transportation Corridor Study is attached to this report. In addition to providing transportation options for Redwood City residents and employees who cross the Bay for work, the plan includes recommendations that, if implemented, would impact the Redwood City Transit Center and adjacent land uses. Therefore, it is critically important that the City (and other affected agencies) have an active role in the Dumbarton Transportation Corridor Study decision-making process. With that in mind, City staff has drafted a letter, which is described below and attached to this report. This letter outlines the scope of requested participation, suggests topic areas for further study and requests reimbursement of City costs. This letter would be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the City Council. City staff has met with representatives from the City of East Palo Alto, City of Menlo Park, Town of Atherton and County of San Mateo, and expects that each of these agencies will make a similar request. ANALYSIS The attached letter requests the City have an active role in the planning and decision making process. The summary of requests is broken down into three categories: the 6.1.D. - Page 1
