September 15, 2026: What residents are discussing ahead of next city council meetings. Click Here

Dear City Council   I’m writing in opposition to the planned development at 80 Willow.  The developers don’t know the area, they don’t know Willow Road or Middlefield Road.  It feels like it has been pushed down our throats. The traffic is already horrendous, and to add 7,000 more cars p...

Dear Mayor Nash, Members of the City Council, and Staff, I am writing to ask the Council to continue to decline approval of the Willow Park project at 80 Willow Road as currently proposed, even given the risk of litigation. I want to be clear about where I stand on housing, because it bears ...

Dear Mayor Nash and Council Members, I oppose the intimidation and strong arming of the Menlo Park council by Attorney General Bonta who with the developer wants to force an imprudent and hasty decision concerning 80 Willow Road formally the home of Sunset Magazine. Your Housing Element was th...

To whom it may concern: I’m a long time MP resident. I’ve watched our city develop and support the changes for the most part. However, I vehemently oppose the proposed high rise on the site at 80 Willow. A structure that size does not belong in Menlo Park. Don’t get me wrong, I support low ...

Dear Councilmembers, I am a long-time resident of Menlo Park writing to express my complete objection to the proposed massive development at 80 Willow Road. While I understand that the City has opened the door to this monstrosity by the delay in submitting a state-approved housing element, the jo...
