Putting another light on ECR is pure insanity. Why don't we use the exisiting town site where there is a large lot that is no longer used by CalTrain. This seems like another example of the inmates running the asylum.

I agree with interested neighbor. In addition to the former CalTrain lot, there is "Reading Park", a practically unused piece of property adjoining the present library. It should not be necessary to overdevelop Holbrook-Palmer Park and turn it into less of a park than it already is. Also, keeping the library out of the park would in part solve the issues about the Watkins Avenue intersections.
