Not so fast!

Many people forget noise pollution and everybody forgets how it will impact animals and wildlife. Ask yourselfs this question: what will happen to the schools and students that are in the way of the HSR? In simple terms the HSR goes through the existing schools.

Lowes [Signature #285] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5889603?utm_medium=rss Sound walls will only mitigate noise in the area directly adjacent to the tracks...and poorly at that. If you need proof, go stand behind one of the sound walls along 101. The train noise will carry loudly up the hillsides into the neighborhoods to the West of the tracks. I used to live in Japan, and have experienced the noise/vibration/air pressure disruptions caused by the Shinkansen there, even operating at 'reduced' speeds. This will kill quality of life for residents along the peninsula.

Saunders [Signature #266] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5235782?utm_medium=rss It is vital that the comment period for this project be extended and that the high speed rail project team put a significant amount of effort into explaining the complete truth to those of us along the tracks about what will/may happen TO us. "Happening TO us" is the operative phrase as none of the negative information was shared prior to the vote last Fall - so people voted with less than complete information.

Most of Palo Alto is going to be impacted by both the unsightly raised train tracks and the ongoing street closings because of passing trains. A network of LA style overpasses is not a solution for a long established residential town. Many people in this community will have their planned retirement disrupted because of lower property values.
With many skilled workers and contracters out of work you have the manpower to build tunnels at a reasonable price.

Bell [Signature #231] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5207717?utm_medium=rss Would the project be easier to get started if the main high speed rail section was first built between San Jose d and the main Los Angeles terminal? Taking our current Cal Train from anywhere on the peninsula to San Jose regardless of the speed is not an issue for my family. It’s the drive down highway 5 that’s the big time waster, air polluter and energy drain; about 5-6 hours by car. If money does run dry, and it may easily in our current economy, the main section/leg has the most value.

I respectfully request you study the possibility of placing the proposed tracks in a trench of 15ft deep with sound walls, or in an underground tunnel. In both cases, many if not most of the long term environmental impacts might be mitigated, road crossings made both cheaper and more attractive, and easier to maintain.
