Dear City Council Members, Thank you so much for supporting new homes and new parking garages on Menlo Parks city-owned parking lots! The homes are essential to Menlo Park’s success as a city and would make our downtown more vibrant and fun. Adding parking garages would make businesses happy, ...
I’d like to add to my previous message. The housing provided by this project would be life-changing for low income, essential workers like me. I am a preschool teacher in Menlo Park. I live in a below market rate rental a few blocks from Santa Cruz Ave. It’s great because I can walk to work an...
Dear Mayor and City Council Members, The City should order an Elections Code section 9212 report of the Downtown Parking Plazas Ordinance. The Ordinance reduces the city’s ability to meet the goals of its specific plan to build the number of below market rate housing units required by state la...

Hello! Why don’t they just remove the giant hedge on the El Camino side of 660’s driveway? It seems like that would make it a lot easier to see if it’s safe to pull onto the street. It makes sense to try that before impacting city resources and neighbor and visitor parking. When I lived at 665 Roble...
Hello again, City Council! Thank you so much for the work you, and especially Betsy, did on the Clock Works permitting issue!! The compromise is reasonable. It does sound like the bar/restaurant would have put those limits on themselves even without the permit restrictions but at least the codifi...
