There is a significant gap between pickleball facilities of neighboring communities and Menlo Park. The attachment features additional detail in an easily digested format but the following describes Portola Valley and Palo Alto in particular. Tiny fiscally challenged Portola Valley (PV) has exc...
Greetings, I am writing to encourage you to annex the triangle in west Menlo Park for reasons that have largely been expressed. The city staff resistance has likely cost more than the annexation costs already and the issue will not go away. I believe that expanding the annexation to the Alameda b...
Dear Maria and fellow council members, Today I learned Palo Alto’s “plans” for pickleball expansion. Cubberly tennis courts are to be resurfaced, lights installed and dedicated to tennis play. All the existing Mitchell tennis courts will be converted to pickleball. I did not hear this from the ci...
Hi All, I’d love to know how I can do anything to facilitate Vision Zero in Menlo Park. I really appreciate all the city has done for cyclists and pedestrians. The middle avenue infrastructure changes are great! I know many people are going to complain about parking but I really hope that they...
Hello City Council Members, On behalf of the pickleball community, Im sending this message in advance of the PRC meeting tonight as background for the discussion about pickleball court capacity. Many thanks to the P&R staff and Commission for taking the time over the last year to address the lar...

Please reduce the two-block-long 30 mph speed limit on Santa Cruz Avenue from Avy to Alameda. This is such a bad segment with cars flying onto it from Sand Hill Road, made worse by: NO sidewalks NO lights Narrow shoulder, alway filled with parked cars associated with the never-ending construct...
Dear Council, I strongly support the proposal to close downtown streets and to enable expanded dining space. Previously dining in/near automobile exhaust was not something we did very often. We would be much more inclined to patronize downtown dining - especially if we could bike and/or stroll down...
Hi, My name is Nate Hopkinson. I'm a teenager who lives in the area near Feldman's books and has been going to them to buy books since I was in middle school. I was concerned to hear that there were plans to tear down the building in order to construct an apartment building in its place. If this we...
