To the City Council of Menlo Park, I understand that you are discussing the downtown public plaza at 600 Santa Cruz Ave tonight. If I am understanding correctly, that is the area on Santa Cruz Ave. between Curtis St & Doyle St. My husband and I would like to see Option 1, the existing conf...
I am writing as a citizen of Downtown Menlo Park since 2014 to endorse keeping the plaza or expanding it (responding to today’s email with the three choices to keep, downsize, or remove). It would be nice if there is a budget to make it feel more permanent with pavers or something similar, but it is...
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...
HELLO CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR NASH… OF THE THREE OPTIONS TO BE PRESENTED ON TUESDAY 10/13/2026, I STRONGLY FAVOR OPTION 3 - NO PLAZA. PARKING CLOSE TO THE ONLY REMAINING PHARMACY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS PARAMOUNT FOR ALL CITIZENS, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE ELDERLY AND INFIRM. THE EXISTING P...

City Council & Staff, We are writing to flag a safety issue with our bike commutes to school. Our families commute by bike to Oak Knoll from Allied Arts every day. Under Menlo Park’s current noise ordinance, normal construction activity is permitted to begin at 8:00 a.m., just 15 minutes bef...
Dear City Council members, When I saw the recent proposed change for water rates in Menlo Park, I noticed the elimination of tiered rates, and then learned that this was due to prop 218. What a shame - people who use more water may get a break, and people who use less may pay more. But then I ...
Dear San Mateo County Legislators and Oversight Officials, I hope you are doing well I am writing respectfully in your administrative, legislative, and oversight capacities to document ongoing procedural concerns arising from Marin County Superior Court Case No. FL2103195 and the related appeal cu...
