  • Transportation and Traffic
    4.13 TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC This chapter describes the existing traffic conditions of the EA Study Area and evaluates the potential envi- ronmental consequences of future development that could occur by adopting and implementing the pro- posed Housing Element Update, General Plan Consistency Update, and associated Zoning Ordinances amendments, together referred to as the “Plan Components” on transportation and traffic. A summary of the relevant regulatory setting and existing conditions is followed by a discussion of Plan Components and cumulative impacts. The chapter is based on the traffic analysis prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants dated March 8, 2013, herein referred to as “Traffic Study.” The future baseline traffic volumes have been developed from output of the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) travel demand model run by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The travel demand associated with the Plan Components have been obtained from the C/CAG Model based upon the anticipated future land uses that have been developed resulting from the land use controls under Near-Term 2014 and 2035 condi- tions. The complete Traffic Study and technical appendices are included in Appendix F of this EA. A. Regulatory Framework 1. Federal Laws and Regulations a. Federal Highway Administration The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the agency of the United States (U.S.) Department of Transportation (DOT) responsible for the federally-funded roadway system, including the interstate high- way network and portions of the primary State highway network, such as Interstate 280 (I-280). b.

    Will the quants invade Sand Hill Road? | VentureBeat http://venturebeat.com/2010/10/21/will-the-quants-invade-sand-... VentureBeat Will the quants invade Sand Hill Road? October 21, 2010 | Alex Salkever 7 Comments Will the quants storm the clubby bastions of the venture capital world? That question has been coming up frequently of late. At the Demo 2010 conference, InLab Ventures rolled out a new venture capital program it dubbed VC3.0 that included elimination of carry fees and incentives for board members to spend time with invested startups. Most importantly, though, the InLab Ventures platform features back-tested screening technology that InLab claims can quickly and accurately identify which startups have a greater chance of success even before initial funding occurs. In other words, InLab says it has a mathematical and statistical model that can predict startup success. Apparently the technology is decent, as InLab general partner Greg Doyle told me that at least one major consulting firm doing research into VC markets has licensed the model for due diligence purposes. If InLab’s magical model works and math can replace that vaunted gut judgment that to date has been a critical criteria for deciding whether to invest in a startup, then why should VCs be using their gut to pick investments at all? (a point raised by VC gadfly Paul Kedrosky). Why not let the quants, the propeller-heads that designed trading models for Wall Street and for other hard-to-value asset classes do the same for Silicon Valley? 1 of 11 10/27/10 4:54 PM Will the quants invade Sand Hill Road? | VentureBeat http://venturebeat.com/2010/10/21/will-the-quants-invade-sand-..

    SF Business Times ‐ 10/4/18 Boutique hotel opens in Menlo Park, a stone's throw from Facebook HQ By Emily Fancher – Deputy Managing Editor, San Francisco Business Times A former Shell gas station on El Camino has been transformed into the Park James Hotel, a 61‐ room boutique property. The hotel is just a stone’s throw from Sand Hill Road in one direction and Facebook's headquarters in the other. The hotel, and its restaurant, Oak + Violet, opened a few weeks ago at 1400 El Camino Real to serve business travelers during the week who are often frantically searching for a room as San Mateo County hotels quickly fill up. On weekends, the hotel, which is a five‐minute walk from downtown, is serving visitors to Stanford University and other leisure guests. The hotel opens as developers rush to cater to the growth from Facebook in the area, which has more than 10,000 employees down the road. The Hotel Nia opened earlier this year next to the social media giant’s headquarters. Four hotels are in the pipeline in neighboring Palo Alto and one in Redwood City. At the Menlo Park site, Portola Valley‐based developer Pollack Finance Group beat out 10 other bidders in 2015 for the property and assembled the team of Hornberger + Worstell to design the hotel and Build Group to construct it. Pollock tapped into city officials’ wish for a boutique hotel on the site to boost city coffers from hotel taxes. But the project was also personal for developer Jeff Pollack, who grew up and lives nearby.
