Mayor Combs and City Council, I enthusiastically support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative. Menlo Park’s downtown, quite simply, depends on the access provided by the parking plazas. A decision to repurpose those lots should be made by the residents who use them - not by outside...
Thank you all for your service to your beautiful Menlo Park Community. We appreciate your dedication. In regards to the special election for the downtown parking lots, I feel that a special election wont really express the view of all the residents as special elections are usually poorly atten...
Mr. Hernandez Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. While we may have differing opinions on matters referenced in your email, I welcome continued dialogue. I host community office hours every Saturday. All are welcome. Over the years, these community office hours have p...
