<br />7.A <br />Page 33 <br /> <br />. There won't be a high-speed rail station in Redwood City (also listed as a <br />challenge) <br /> <br />Group 3.. advantage~ <br />Deep Tunnel <br />. Could dig anywhere, no right of way issues <br />. Similar to BART in Berkeley; or BART under the Bay <br />. Actually a bore; don't have to do construction. Removes issues of stitching <br />lines together <br />. Neighborhoods, alphabet streets, houses, small businesses (right of way is <br />only 60 feet) ~ cannot have impacts and the Tunnel option alleviates this <br />. No advantages to elevated tracks <br />. Deep Tunnel is most advantageous <br />Trench (covered/uncovered) <br />. Allows station in Redwood City <br />. Allows electrification of Caltrain <br />. Eliminates grade separation <br />o Safety concern with grade separation <br /> <br />Group 4 .. advantages <br />Aerial <br /> <br />. Traffic flow <br />. Bike path possible under track <br />o What is the reality of that option? <br />. Better rider experience <br />. Keeps option open for a train station in Redwood City <br />. Better movement across the right of way <br />At-grade <br />. Lo\vest cost option? <br />o Listed on sheet as lowest? <br />. Right now not an option on 4C section <br />. No changes to Caltrain section <br />Trench (covered/uncovered) <br />. No traffic interference <br />. Easiest movement <br />. N at an eyesore <br />. Land can have other uses <br />. Noise reduction <br />. Reduction of danger (security) <br />Tunnel <br />. Least destructive during construction <br />. Won't take as much land <br />. No interference with utilities <br />. Noise - none <br />. Land use <br />
