Dear Council Members, First, thank you for your dedication to seeking opportunities for new development in our city that benefits the community. I have resided in the Burgess Park neighborhood for over 15 years and care deeply about the community. We as a neighborhood worked closely...
Dear Menlo Park City Council Members, September 19, 2026 Please take ONE (1) minute to (at least) read the highlighted portions of the attached letter to Mayor Richard Cline, from the Shute Law Firm (dated February 18, 2010); and discuss this email and letter with the staff and city legal counse...
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.

Dear City Manager Murphy, I am writing as a Belle Haven resident and member of the Belle Haven Pool Task Force to express my support for Meredith Rohr’s recent email and to share additional concerns regarding the Task Force and Belle Haven pool operations. For clarity, the key concerns are summariz...
