@MyFeelz: Check your history. The train long preceded the city. There were several smaller towns that were incorporated into Palo Alto. There were so many fewer trains at the time (people weren't commuting to SF for work) that crossing the track was a trivial matter.
As for future proofing, we don't do that very well, do we?

Not thrilled at more industrial in the Baylands.
And no “toilet to tap” - keep our Hetch Hetchy water supply.
