Forecasted job and housing growth in palo alto increases
The Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission modified the proposed demands for future development in Palo Alto, with the result still unrealistic and unreasonable.
Now the period is 2010 to 2040, not 2035. Housing to be added in Palo Alto increased from 11,800 to 12,500. Job growth is projected as 26,600, a third more than today's level of 75,400. Six-thousand jobs would be added in the El Camino corridor—where?.
Three scenarios are considered:
Core growth is mainly by transit corridors in the inner bay; focused growth is in transit corridors throughout the Bay Area; outer growth is mainly away from the inner bay. Outer growth assumes Palo Alto job growth of 19,300.
