Mayor Nash and City Councilmembers, I am writing to thank you for the time and effort that you have invested in Coleman Avenue, and for making the pilot permanent. Our parent community has been very happy with the improvements in the city segment, especially the stop sign at Santa Monica. With ...
Dear Menlo Park City Council,Having lived in Menlo Park for more than three decades and walking through downtown several times a week, I have closely observed the impact of the 600 Santa Cruz public plaza.It is clear that the current community space gets very little day-to-day use. While the restaur...
Dear City Council, Thank you for the opportunity to add in a comment, suggestion as it applies to the plaza space created at 600 Santa Cruz Ave. Given only the options you mention I would cast a vote for Option 1, which leaves intact the existing bike lane, no parking, and several tables outside...

The city is making places supposedly for the community but there is no place for people to park to come to the events. Plus it blocks access to businesses. The place is full of teenagers (who already have whole building the other side of the road for after school activities) When I have passed b...
Dear Mayor Nash and Council members, I urge you to open the street. The “public gathering space” was an expensive fail. Ugly picnic tables, ugly planter boxes. Unimaginative, generic, looks like a middle school lunchroom—not the inviting place for concerts, the Bon Marche marketplace Ali cr...
