Public Hearing -
Proposed Closure of Atherton Caltrain Station
|
|
The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board of Directors will hold a virtual public hearing to discuss the proposed station closure. The Board invites public comment on the potential closure of Atherton station at the hearing. The public may participate via a Zoom web link and/or by phone.
The proposed closure will permanently discontinue service for Atherton station and remove the station from future timetables. On January 15, 2020 the Town of Atherton tentatively endorsed the closure of Atherton Station subject to an Agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties.
The Atherton Caltrain station currently receives limited weekend-only service every 90 minutes with an average of 114 passengers per weekend day. The “center boarding” configuration of the station limits operations as trains traveling in the other direction must wait or “hold out” for safety purposes while the train at the station is boarding.
Virtual Public Hearing:
Thursday, September 3 at 9 am

Group of Local Teens Provide Free eLearning Devices & Sports Gear Through New App
|
|
Shay Patel, currently a junior in high school in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his team of philanthropic teens are on a mission to level the distance learning playing field. He and his team launched an app, AlleyOop, which directly connects people who need eLearning devices and sports gear to those who wish to donate those items. Everything listed on the app and downloading the app are totally free.
"Give Gear. Get Gear. Free." With a growing number of schools announcing distance and hybrid learning models for fall, there is still an eLearning device shortage as well as a lack of school sports. This teen, armed with his app, addresses both of those gaps. AlleyOop is available for download now on the App Store and Google Play Store.
