Caltrain to Hold Hearing on Closure of Atherton Station
|
|
Caltrain will hold a public meeting on the proposed closure of the Atherton Caltrain Station on
Wednesday, July 29
. A public hearing will follow at the Board of Director’s meeting on
August 6
.
In January of this year, 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 station’s closure would result in reduced noise and increased safety for Atherton residents. Atherton is in the process of redeveloping its Civic Center, and closing the station would free up additional property for that project.
Public Meeting:
