Can We Do It Now?
Or Do We Need Years More Study?
Come hear about a long-term approach to eliminating flood risk
from San Francisquito Creek and why we can take the first steps now
Please join us on Thursday, 4/10, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. to
hear potential short-term solutions to San Francisquito Creek flood problems.
The meeting, co-sponsored by the Duveneck/St. Francis and Crescent Park
neighborhood associations, will be held at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell
Road.
A group of Crescent Park and Duveneck/St. Francis residents have found a way
to make progress toward reducing the creek's threat. With their technical
expertise, they have explored a way to prioritize the use of the federal funding
for a short-term CAP 205, and a possible longer-term GI project. The meeting
will feature:
- The history of the San Francisquito Creek,
- Computer models of water flow in the creek,
- The effect of the bridges between El Camino Real and Highway 101, and
- A flood control approach and potential projects for discussion and
consideration.
The residents' group working on the analysis includes:
- Stephen Monismith, Stanford Professor of Civil Engineering and head
of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory;
- Tom Rindfleisch, a physicist and Stanford research computer
scientist retired after 30 years in the Departments of Computer Science and
Medicine;
- Steve Bisset, formerly Co-Founder and CEO of Megatest Corp. and
currently VP, Operations at Acuitus, Inc., who holds a B.S. in Electrical
Engineering from the California Institute of Technology;
- Art Kraemer, who holds undergraduate and advanced degrees in
Electrical Engineering from Cornell and Stanford, respectively;
- Xenia Hammer, who holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Yale
University and an M.B.A from Stanford; and
- Stan Smith, B.S. & M.S. Electrical Engineering, University of
California at Berkeley and M.B.A. Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Our January meeting left residents with many questions. Our April 10
meeting will offer potential answers!
This will also be an opportunity to express our appreciation of the
extraordinary effort of these neighborhood volunteers.
We look forward to seeing you all.
Glenna Violette and Mary Carey Schaefer,
Crescent Park Neighborhood
Association

Will sirens work? Who needs special help in evacuating, if there's
flooding? How can we organize our neighborhood for effective emergency
response?
Please join us for an important meeting to learn about flood-related
neighborhood preparedness and flood control issues as we enter the rainy
season in this, an El Nino year.
Jointly sponsored by the Duveneck/St. Francis and Crescent Park neighborhood
associations, the meeting will include presentations by City of Palo Alto
emergency services personnel and Cynthia D'Agosta, Executive Director,
San Francisquito Creek JPA. Santa Clara Valley Water District representatives
have also been invited to present. But the focus of the meeting will
be neighborhood residents' interests, concerns and questions about flood-related
emergency preparedness and separately, creek-related flood control.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Date: Wednesday, January 15, 2003
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Place: Duveneck Elementary School - Multipurpose Room, 705 Alester
We
hope all DSFNA and CPNA residents will join us for this important, informative
evening.
