Palo Alto Wants More Time to Review Rail Document
City officials plan to resubmit a brief, arguing that the rail authority failed to identify the trains' noise impacts in the Peninsula, analyze the aesthetic impacts of the train system and consider the system's compatibility with existing land-use plans. The city's brief calls the rail authority's 2008 review "deeply flawed" and argues that it "fails to inform the public and the decision makers of all of the significant environmental impacts of the project."
