City Council - Please make the most of the SRI space. It makes no sense to add 1 million square feet of office space. Have you done a study on available office space in Menlo Park?? I can hardly drive a block without seeing a commercial real estate sign. Please please use this space more wisely. O...
Hi there, I am writing to express my concern about the limited parking options for renters and their visitors living on Coleman Ave in Menlo Park. This evening, I was berated, unprompted, by a resident living at 415 Santa Monica Ave. I was looking for parking on Santa Monica Ave, near to t...
*Menlo Park Council and Civic Participants,* This is a follow-up to our earlier WCO communication. Since your council first received our statement, additional border cities have been contacted — Nogales, El Paso, San Diego, Yuma, Tucson, Brownsville, and Calexico. Each has been added to the ci...
Dear Menlo Park City Council members, I cannot attend the board meeting this Tuesday so write again (prior emails below) to encourage you to invest in Menlo Park’s aquatic facilities at Burgess and Belle Haven as you do for all recreation facilities in the city. As others have written, I too...

Dear Menlo Park City Council Members and Mayor, Thank you again for all of your hard-work and time on the Menlo Park pool issues. I am writing to reiterate my satisfaction with the services at the Burgess pool. The cross section of activities and ages and people at the pool at all hours of the...
I understand there will be a vote tonight on opening the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue to traffic. I am in favor of opening it. My home is Northeast of downtown and I want to be able to drive all the way to El Camino and make a left or go straight on. Thanks for your consideration. -Katie Keating
