During the recent TCAP Community Advisory Committee meeting held on August 26, 2025, in Woodside, California, discussions centered on improving public transportation and addressing community safety concerns, particularly regarding traffic and pedestrian safety.

One of the key topics was the potential enhancement of bus services in the area. Committee members highlighted the importance of reducing car traffic by making public transportation more accessible. A proposal was made to increase bus frequency to Downtown Woodside, suggesting a 20-minute service that would connect residents to Canada College and other key locations. This initiative aims to encourage more residents to use public transport, thereby alleviating congestion and promoting a more sustainable commuting option.

Additionally, community members expressed a desire for a reduced speed limit on Kenyatta Road. Residents believe that lowering the speed limit could help mitigate traffic issues and enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists. This suggestion reflects ongoing concerns about road safety and the need for measures that protect vulnerable road users.

Another point of discussion involved the presence of poison oak along local trails, which poses a risk to families and outdoor enthusiasts. The committee acknowledged this issue, emphasizing the need for awareness and potential solutions to ensure safe access to recreational areas for all community members.

As the committee continues to address these pressing issues, the outcomes of these discussions could lead to significant improvements in transportation and safety for Woodside residents. The community remains engaged in advocating for changes that enhance their quality of life and promote a safer, more connected environment.
