Hello City Council, It is very disheartening to hear that those that would like to see other options explored to build affordable housing with proper community input have been dismissed as a small group. Sounds like the concerns of business owners, property owners and many residents arent being con...
Menlo Park apparently owns the parking lots between Santa Cruz Ave. and Oak Grove downtown. Instead of wiping the parking and building multi-story housing, consider the needs of the shops and businesses. Consider the needs of the people in Menlo Park to have a shopping district where its easy to par...
Hi, My name is Josh Olson, a former resident of Menlo Park who moved away for an engineering education in the Midwest and didnt come back because it was too expensive. I offer this advice as someone who grew up biking through the Santa Cruz Ave parking lots on my way to Hillview Middle School:...

Because of our split Laurel campuses, many of our students and families use Coleman as a main transportation route between the campuses. It is even listed on the Menlo Park-produced Safe Routes map for students a...
Council, you need to show some Backbone when it comes to your "low-income" housing ideas for downtown! The homeowners on the Westside arent going to like it when their property values drop by 15-25%. The landlords down town dont want their investment to drop by 15-20%, either! If I were Mayor, I wo...
Happy first day of spring! I am Jacqui Cebrian, resident of Menlo Park, bike commuter and currently chair of the Complete Streets Commission. My comments are my own perspective. It has taken a shockingly long time to get actual bike lanes on the city designated "School Bike Safety Route". I...
Here here, thank you Brian for sharing this insightful information. I also urge the council to put our communitys safety and security as as a top priority and revisit ALPRs ASAP. I have to believe that 15 other communities have not come to the same conclusion without doing ample research. We are...
