Dear Menlo Park City Council, I just learned that the City plans to eliminate the Quiet Zone from its budget planning. This is outrageous and unacceptable! Residents have been advocating for a Quiet Zone for years, and the engineering designs are nearly complete. The last step is funding. Do n...
Dear City Council, I called the Menlo Park police department about 2 weeks ago to report that the flashing cross walk light when you push the button is out at Cotton St. and Santa Cruz. The woman who answered said they were aware of it being out and it had already been reported. It is still not...
Mr Mayor and Honorable Council members, Thank you for soliciting the developer proposals to add housing and maintain retail parking in our downtown. Much evaluation will be needed, and this first step is appreciated - particularly the rapid posting of the responses, but also the staff’s preparat...
Dear Honorable Mayor Combs, Maybe Menlo Park should consider something like this to honor the first female City Council Mayor, much like your Sister City in Galway, Ireland has done. If so, between 1927 and 2025 (nearly 100 years) the first female mayor in Menlo Park was Peg Gunn (per the Summary...

Hi Henry, Here is an interesting article touching directly on Buber’s very different vision of Zionism and his apparent total rejection of a Jewish state. It is a fairly long piece but certainly worth reading. Contrast, if you will, the idea of Cultural Zionism with Politcal Zionism. Aram M...
Hi Henry, Thank you for this historical reference. I will research Martin Buber’s proposal further. I appreciate your guidance. Regards, Aram On Sun, Mar 2, 2025 at 7:21 PM Henry Etzkowitz > wrote: Hi Aram and all One state was Martin Bub...
