THERE WAS NO TIME OR ADDRESS GIVEN FOR A MEETING ON HOUSING FOR SAN MATEO COUNTY WHICH IS TAKING PLACE TODAY. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSIDER THAT AREAS AROUND DIESEL HEAVY RAIL AND FREIGHT RAILROADS IS EXTREMELY TOXIC AND SINCE MOST OF THE AREA WAS COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL IT IS PLACING HUMANS IN A HAZARDOUS AIR AND NOISE POLLUTED AREA TO RECOMMEND LOW-INCOME HOUSING THEREABOUTS. LIKEWISE ANY HOUSING CLOSE TO BUSY ARTERIALS AND TRAFFIC IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY. CERTIFIED BUILD IT GREEN REPRESENTATIVES WILL TELL YOU THAT HEALTH IS COMPROMISED EXPONENTIALLY EIGHT BLOCKS FROM BUSY TRAIN AND ARTERIAL TRAFFIC ROUTES. IN ADDITION THERE ARE LETHAL BLASTING TRAIN HORNS ALL ALONG THE CALTRAIN CORRIDOR WHICH ARE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY RESULTING IN CONGRESS ALLOWING QUIET ZONES WITH SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY MEASURES AT THE CROSSINGS. PLEASE CORRECT THIS FIRST. THIS SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST PRIORITY BEFORE ADVOCATING HOUSING ANYWHERE NEAR THE RAILROAD TRACKS. A MOVEMENT IS AFOOT TO GO TO THE GRAND JURY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE COURTS IF THE CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS DO NOT MAKE THE ABATEMENT OF THIS SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. PLEASE FOLLOW THE MITIGATION MEASURES DEMANDED OF THE DUMBARTON RAIL NEIGHBORS THROUGH THEIR ATTORNEY STUART FLASHMAN. MARGARET PETITJEAN, MENLO PARK Received on Mon Dec 17 09:58:20 2007
