Folder: S.F. Freeways-James Lick (Bayshore 101).
Newscopy: "S.F. News-Call Bulletin. Wed. Aug. 9, 1961. Freway, a hot issue in conservative Palo Alto--Conservative Palo Alto's hottest civic hassle in years-the proposed Oregon ave. expressway-is due for another eruption tonight. A partisan, overflow audience of angry taxpayers, who want no expressway, will be on hand when the Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. to submit its recommendations. Whether the commission will come out for the proposed expressway as is, or produce some surprise alternatives, is anybody's guess. Thousands of Palo Alto citizens, mainly those living in the southern area of the city, are dead set against the expressway. The connecting link to Oregon, which has its western terminus at the Southern Pacific railroad tracks, would be Page Mill rd. which leads directly to the Stanford Industrial Park. The expressway would provide a high-speed traffic route between Stanford Industrial Park west of El Camino Real to the Bayshore Freeway".
