Public comment at the Planning & Transportation Commission was heavily split: hundreds of nearby residents objected to El Dorado options for the South Palo Alto bike/ped undercrossing over safety, narrow‑street, parking and eminent‑domain concerns while bike advocates urged moving forward. The commission voted to ask council to pause advancing the current El Dorado alternatives and directed staff to develop equivalent conceptual analyses for Loma Verde variants, the neighborhood hybrid, and a possible overcrossing.
