“Working with Christina has been very helpful to build my confidence in my communications with my managers. I am able to get an outside opinion about the next step in my professional development from an expert in the field.

I worked with Christina Paul for approximately 3 years preparing an update to the Milpitas Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP), which was originally adopted in 2008. The TASP and the update, renamed the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan, is centered on the Milpitas Transit Center, which is the only intersection between the regional Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system and the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail system. The Metro Plan was adopted by City Council in February 2023. Christina was part of the leadership for the consultant team that assisted Milpitas City staff in completing this plan during the challenges of the Covid 19 pandemic. Christina’s leadership skills, her planning and resource knowledge and her ability to work constructively and collaboratively with others on her team and related teams made her invaluable in our efforts. As a retired Planning Director I appreciate her abilities and would recommend Christina for any complex planning endeavor involving legal constraints, public input and multiple disciplines and staff resources.
