Track Watch Update

Diane Downend, Diane@edenbridgehomes.com

Starting on November 23, 2009, the Palo Alto Police Department will retain a private security firm to staff the Meadow rail crossing every day from 7:30am to 11:30pm (this may be adjusted to cover the later hours, allowing the volunteers to staff earlier shifts – pending). The plan is to maintain this until the end of the school year. Community volunteers may also continue to assist at this and other locations. Police officers will also continue to have an increased presence in the area.

The Police Department is accepting donations to support this and other safety efforts. Checks payable to the City of Palo Alto should be sent to:
