It is a shameful waste of the city of Menlo Park’s money to pay a consultant $41,000 to study the feasibility and placement for a bike tunnel under the Caltrain tracks.
The 4-1 vote (with John Boyle against) by the City Council is just another example of fiscal mismanagement by the council. Just a few years ago the city went through this same wasteful exercise. Didn’t that consultant give them the answer they were looking for?
If the biking public needs to go west, they can either use crosswalks or ride half a mile to the south, use the bridge to Palo Alto and then travel up Sand Hill Road. The city doesn’t need a bike tunnel or the expense of studying it, again.
