ONE thing I can tell people trying to beat the heat. DON'T drive over to Half Moon Bay unless you bring a sweater! We have had nothing but Fog along the Coast for over a month and our Temps. are NOT expected to go up above 70 this weekend either. If we get a sunny day, then avoid the traffic on Hwy 92, which is usually GRIDLOCKED by folks from the EAST BAY and beyond who think they can get out of their swelteri g apartme ts by going over 92. I do not believe the sinkhole repair is completed yet, so getting back home might be problematic as one of the uphill lanes has been coned-off since February, eliminating the passing lane.

Hope the heat wave conforms to each of the libraries' normal business hours -- just like when the city proudly offered them as flood refuge centers.

The anticipated temperatures in most of CA are expected to reach 90+ degrees over the weekend. In places like Death Valley, 124 degree daytime temps are anticipated.
The 'chill out' venues will also be of benefit to the homeless population in Palo Alto.

It's good that they have a place to go as well.

City Manager: if the heat persists past the hours that the cooling places are open, can the hours be extended? And can the City offer transportation to/from the cooling spots to those who cannot get around on their own?

The VTA buses and Caltrain commuters have AC...it is a common practice for the homeless to ride back and forth from San Jose to Palo Alto via the #22 VTA along ECR from Eastridge to the PA train station.

If I was homeless and it was extremely hot, I would simply pay my entrance fee to Rinconada pool, take a shower, and hang-out in the pool with other Palo Alto residents and their children.
