Dear Menlo Park City Council Members, I am a resident of Palo Alto, living not far from the old Sunset Magazine site at 80 Willow Road. I am very familiar with the traffic that backs up into Palo Alto on Middlefield Road from about 3pm to 6pm on most days. In fact, I live in the neighborhood in whi...

Please do everything in your power to protect the Menlo Park and Northern Palo Alto Communities that would be so severely impacted by the proposed mega tower at 80 Willow Road. Traffic and parking is already bad enough, and the public safety impacts are not fully understood. Is the developer going t...

Dear members of City Council, My name is Heinrich Kuettler. I live in 420 Guinda St, Palo Alto, CA 94301. I received a letter from Menlo Forward about the future of 80 Willow Road. I urge you to allow as big a building as the fire code allows and to not let the millionaire homeowner class wi...

Hi City Council Members, I want to support your efforts to deal with N17’s proposed high rise office towers at the former site of Sunset Magazine. If this project goes through as designed, it will change the eastern portion of Menlo Park for decades to come if not forever. The project will...

Dear City Council: I urge you to use every available avenue to oppose the 80 Willow Road development as proposed by developer N17.  The project as proposed violates the spirit if not the letter of several recent State Laws designed to address the housing shortage in California.  First, recent legis...

Dear City Council Member, I am writing to ask you not to approve this proposal. I believe it would have a major negative impact on Menlo Park and Palo Alto, including to accelerate (rather than ameliorate) our housing problem. Thank you, Carolyn Godfrey 211 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto

Hello, I appreciated being able to zoom this evening’s Council Meeting with public comments/concerns about the oversized building project proposed for the former Sunset Magazine property. I live on Middlefield Road in Palo Alto, 3 blocks from the Willow Road intersection. I can’t fathom what traf...

Dear City Council, Please be aware that I oppose N17s proposal for a multi-tower mini-city planned for 80 Willow Road. With three towers - planned to be 39, 33, and 18 stories tall - this proposed development is utterly ridiculous for this part of Menlo Park, and is hideously misaligned with our st...

I am strongly opposed to the proposed development at 80 Willow Road. The environmental impact of such an immense project right next to the San Francisquito Creek cannot be ignored. The need for housing across the region is serious and demands serious proposals to address the shortage, but this propo...

I write to support a full and complete Environmental Impact Report related to the proposed development of the 85 Willow Road site. The proposal is based on a flagrant and extremely disturbing abuse of the intent of Californias Builders Remedy. I write from two perspectives: First as a supporter...
