<br />7.A <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />Continue open/covered trench alignment to Chestnut Street (combination of <br />stacked or 4-track trench, whichever results in the least private property impact). <br /> <br />South of Chestnut Street to Redwood Junction: <br />. Caltrain: begin transition from trench to at-grade alignment to connect <br />with the spur rail. The existing junction of the three tracks (Seaport/Union <br />Pacific rail to and from the Port, northbound Dumbarton rail, and Caltrain <br />rail) must be moved further southward to ensure a vertical match of all <br />three tracks. The existing junction of the southbound Dumbarton rail is <br />already far enough south to accommodate the vertical transition. <br /> <br />. HSR: remain in open/covered trench or begin transition to match the <br />vertical alignment of neighboring communities. <br /> <br />The City has not thoroughly evaluated the impacts of this option, nor has the City <br />had the opportunity to discuss this option with the freight train operator(s). <br />Therefore, the City urges that HSR consider and analyze the above stitched plan <br />alternative and include it in the Supplemental AA Report. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of these comments from the Redwood City community <br />and City Council on the HSR Authority's AA Report. Again, please keep in mind <br />Redwood City's overarching principles related to the project. Honoring those principles <br />will continue to be critical as the HSR program moves forward. If you have any <br />questions regarding this information, please contact Chu Chang, Director of Redwood <br />City's Building, Infrastructure, and Transportation Department, at 650-780-7382 (amail <br />cchang@redwoodcity.org). <br /> <br />Sincerely I <br /> <br />Redwood City High Speed Rail Council Ad Hoc Committee <br />Rosanne Foust, Jeff Gee, Barbara Pierce <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />A.
