At the August 16, 2022 meeting of the Barron Park Association Board of Directors the guest speakers were Garrett Pauls and Jodie Gerhardt from the Planning Department of the City of Palo Alto. The topic for the evening was a proposed development at 3400 El Camino Real, the site of the current Creekside Inn motel, Driftwood Deli and Cibo’s Restaurant. Many of the residents expressed their concerns about the impact of this project on the neighborhood.
