Football traffic expected to disrupt Palo Alto streets

My prediction; Stanford will go win all their remaining games with an entry into the Rose Bowl, or a chance at the National Championship. Go Stanford!

We are obsessed with sports. And college sports in particular have become too commercialized and corrupt. Witness Penn State.

Will the downtown RPPP be enforced?

Mike, there is two hour parking, and enforcement ends at 5pm, so unless you are arriving before 3pm for the 7:30 game, attendees will be able to park downtown.

Yes. I know that. I'll be sure to be home before 3 pm.

After I wrote this I thought: If fans arrive at, say, 2pm and overstay the 2 hour limit, all they will do is get a ticket and parking will be as unavailable as it would have been anyway.

Stanford provides alternatives for getting to the game but very few getting home from the game. Who wants to ride their bike at 10:30 or 11 pm? and why no shuttle/Marguerite after 9 pm? The meager options for after the game means that people will end up driving anyways.

Casti kids often park the excess cars on the streets surrounding Casti on game days, as a fundraiser.

However, they park them on the sides of the streets where there are " NO Castilleja Parking" signs, thus preventing homeowner parking. Despite calls to PAPD, Casti gets away with this every time.

Do they really need the money so badly that they get an excuse from illegal parking on game days? At $40,000/ student, with many excessive students, they can't be that broke!

Casti and Paly (Gunn is included as well) parking revenues benefit student organizations (clubs, teams, band, choir, etc.), not the schools themselves.

Lighten up a bit.

Then let then park Carson NON- residential streets!

There is no Casti parking fundraiser! What kind of urban myth is that?

"There is no Casti parking fundraiser! What kind of urban myth is that?"

The posting refers to Casti kids parking cars as a fundraiser, not to Casti fundraising. Enterprising they are, those Casti kids ;~}

There are no casti kids doing parking either. Just was there. Paly kids are being entreprising though. :)

They may have done this in years past but not in recent years.
