Rail Committee - Committee of the Whole

Prior to 2015, the Rail Committee focused on High Speed Rail which is no longer being discussed for Palo Alto.

From 2015 through 2018, the City Council had a Rail Committee consisting of four Council members. They analyzed issues pertinent to rail before the full Council heard and acted on the recommendations.

In January 2019, the City Council decided to change from the Rail Committee to the Committee of the Whole, so issues were addressed by all Council members.

In April 2021, the City Council revived the Rail Committee, this time with three Council members.

Here is the Rail Committee web page for the current incarnation; it includes a link to “Past Agendas and Minutes” from the earlier incarnations, dating back to 2010.
