I am writing to voice my strong support for issuing RFPs for the downtown parking plazas. Having read the RFQs and the staff report, I feel like I have nothing to add that hasnt been covered by the report. I urge city council to disregard the vocal minority trying to keep low-income housing out of ...
Dear Menlo Park City Council, My wife and I live in the heart of downtown (steps away from Trader Joes). I am strongly in support of the planned housing development (I believe this is Agenda Item K-1 for todays meeting). In addition to badly needed housing stock (I am an employer whose employe...
Dear City Council members, Im just adding to my comments below as input for the priority setting meeting on Saturday. With regard to the three suggested action items, I believe we already have a critical mass of feedback from residents and businesses on recommendations #1 and #2 and we also have...

Dear City Council As a long time resident of Menlo Park, I value the character of our downtown and the ease of coming downtown. I grew up and saw Palo Alto become so busy and hard to park that my family and I rarely go there any longer and come to MP instead. The idea of parking lots being “su...
Dear Mayor Combs and Council Members, One key reason we’re facing unwieldy numbers of required housing from ABAG is that our prior Council(s) permitted way too much office to be built. For every office construction, ABAG added equal requirements of housing. This was obviously a losing game for u...
Dear Council, I was hoping to attend last nights meeting, but wasn’t physically up to it. I had been hit by a motorist while riding my bike to work and ended up on their windshield. Its taking longer than expected to recover. Regardless, I’m writing to voice my support for affordable housing o...
