Hi, council It looks like building on the downtown parking lots, while it would help, wouldn’t fulfill what the city promised. I hear that someone floated the idea of eminent domaining the Sharon Heights golf course. That would be good for luxury condos but I think it would be a terrible place...
Rock on, City Council! Somebody has to stand up to bullies and Im proud that its Menlo Park. Nina Wouk Belle Haven resident since whenever
Dear Menlo Park City Council, We, as downtown businesses, oppose the use of parking lots for high-density housing because it would impede our ability to serve the community. We hope you will consider alternative locations for affordable housing. Our businesses depend on it. Respectfully, 36...
HI, Council Kudos to Mayor Nash for challenging Bonta to face reality. Not holding my breath to see if he can. For what it’s worth I filed a consumer complaint about NC147. I really don’t want some Russian oligarch setting up even a reasonable sized building in Menlo Park because I don’t tru...
HI, Council I’m really happy to see more housing walkable to downtown. It’s also possible that said housing will require extra water, sewer, electric etc capacity. If so, who will get the doubtful pleasure of paying for upgrades? Us as tax payers or us as rate payers? I know it’s going to ...

Hi, Council You know what I think about this mess but I’ll say it again: Fighting it will be expensive but not fighting it would be a disaster. Don’t make Menlo Park a playground for Russian oligarchs. Insist on a full EIR. The infrastructure does not and cannot exist to support the proposed...
HI, Council It appears that our public spirited pool operator has axed the one program for seniors at Belle Haven Pool. Aqua Fit has a loyal constituency of local people who benefit from it. As usual that seems to mean nothing to the commercial business hired to operate the pool for the benefit...
HI, Council I get that there isn’t money to subsidize pool operations, but did you look at the new schedule starting Sept 8? Burgess is open until 8 every week night, Belle Haven never. Burgess is open until 4 Saturday and Belle Haven only until 3. Nights and weekends are when people get to sw...
Hi, Council 335 Pierce is the only new housing in Belle Haven that I would like to see built, and that is solely because it is meant to be affordable for people at risk of displacement. I understand that one unit is reserved for a family that has already been displaced. I hope that the others w...
