These solutions would elim- inate an existing traffic signal on Embarcadero Road that currently slows east-west traffic, they said. Additional improvements would broaden the Embarcadero underpass to four lanes, which would eliminate a bottleneck and add left-turn signals from west- and eastbound Embar- cadero to Alma Street, they said. David Shen, a North Old Palo Alto member, said the group formed in November 2017 after some neighbors on Churchill saw a map that showed the po- tential seizure of homes by emi- nent domain should underpasses be built at the intersection. One resident who had attended the first community meeting on grade separations went door-to- door to alert neighbors to future meetings. “It started with all the resi- dents whose houses were po- tential eminent domain targets. This includes houses along Churchill both in Old Palo Alto and Southgate, and also along Alma. We mobilized first in Old PA, then we walked south to no- tify those Southgate members who were also affected. We have been working together since,” he said in an email. “While we all support the trench or tunnel, we (Old Palo Alto and Southgate residents) both realized that if a city- wide trench or tunnel was not feasible, no one wanted an un- derpass on Churchill. We both felt that would be irrecoverably damaging to the character of our neighborhoods: more traffic, less pedestrian/cyclist safety, too many homes taken and too much money spent when Embarcadero is only a few blocks away,” Shen said.

Today’s housing crisis is mak- ing it impossible for most people today to have that experience, she said. The reason to build more housing isn’t necessarily to “make room for more” by bringing in people from other parts of the nation. It’s about supporting the needs of the residents who would Pardee Adam make up Palo Alto’s future.
