Just vote no. That's the message from Menlo Park and Atherton city council members regarding Proposition 1A, the high-speed rail bond measure on the Nov. 4 ballot.

Voting against this is shortsighted indeed. If we never approved projects because they would impact us because of construction or aesthetics then 101 and 280 would never have been built.
Another reason to defeat Fergusson this November. Cline and Haywire, you're next.

Our city council is wasting our time & money. We should embrace the train, and work to have it come through Menlo in a way that works best for us.
NIMBY attitudes prevented BART from circling the bay. NIMBY attitudes on the HSR may mess it up as well.
If you live near the train tracks, you live with train noise and dust. I live near 101, I put up with 101 noise and dust. Will you vote to close 101 so I don't have to put up with it?

I have yet to hear a single penny going out for this lawsuit. Wasting money? Try $10 billion dollars with failing financial institutions and a worsening economy. You gotta be kidding me.
Don't make this a train debate.
This is about getting HSR to provide details that matter to us. If 101 was to be expanded to twice its size and homes were in the way of that, I would hope our council would stand up and not sell out Menlo Park to regional interests the way Boyle has done.
