Dinan said that before the pandemic, rush-hour traffic was already so bad that he wouldn't dare drive his son home from downtown Menlo Park after a late afternoon activity. Instead, they'd stay in the city for dinner, just to wait out the drive home that, under normal conditions, should only take 10 minutes. "Our traffic is incredibly bad," Dinan said, and without a project like the Dumbarton Rail Corridor, it'll only get worse. Advocating for a Marsh Road station Skip Hilton, a Menlo Park resident, is also bullish on the Dumbarton Rail Corridor, but he's also got a concern: Initially, the project included a stop at Marsh Road, but after ridership projections were completed, the project staff dropped the station due to "low performance."
