ORAL COMMUNICATIONS <br /> A. Richard Silver, 824 Winslow, Redwood City, Board of Supervisors Clerk of the Board, <br /> Vice President of RailPac and Friends of CaiTrain, advised he was speaking as a resident <br /> of Redwood City in support of high speed trains, but not in support of the current <br /> proposal that would utilize CalTrain rights-of-ways between Menlo Park and Brisbane as <br /> part of a larger system that would extend from Los Angeles to San Francisco to <br /> Sacramento. Mr. Silver said the increase of 118 trains per day, 70 at 150 mph, would <br /> require bigger and wider rights-of-way, more tracks, or reduced CaiTrain service for <br /> commuters. Mr. Silver asked Council not to support the current proposal until more data <br /> is received and more public hearings are held on this issue. He also asked that this <br /> subject be scheduled for a future Council meeting. <br /> Mayor Hartnett asked staff to gather more infonnation and report back to Council. <br /> (702) <br />LJ MEMO 11/5/96 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 <br /> Page No. 003 <br />
