THANK YOU! . . . to each and every one of you who read all the fine print and worked doggedly to come up with a solution for the city’s housing plan that would pass the state’s new, more rigid requirements. Just reading about your work has felt exhausting. I can’t imagine how tedious and frustr...
A neighbor on NextDoor asked us to lobby for safer bike/car interactions at the foot of the bike bridge over 101. I am always for safe biking — any way we can achieve it — anywhere in the city. THANKS! - Susan Bryan, Willows resident 1. Install a stop sign at Ringwood and Van Buren. 2. Install ...
City Council Members: I read in today’s Daily Journal that Burlingame’s council “voiced approval this week of a new zoning map that would require rising waters to be taken into account along the Bay front. New buildings in low-lying areas near the water will be required to have raised first floors ...
Dear Council Members: Thank you so much for having the special study session with Chief Norris last night! It was so educational, so transparent, so inviting of collaboration with the community. I wish we had study sessions explaining other city departments. For instance, I’d like to hear from th...
Dear City Council Members: I was disappointed when I read the invitation to the Housing Element Focus Group. They are choosing only 15 people at random to represent all the homeowners in Menlo Park. I understand this is just the start of the process but I think they could easily have more focus gr...
Dear Council Members: Please think about using the majority of Menlo Park’s Covid relief funds for those most at-risk of Covid as well as simple poor health in Belle Haven. The air pollution there is double that of the rest of Menlo Park. This has so many adverse health effects that it’s hard to ca...
Dear Council Members: Once again the owner of the 76 station on Willow Road is applying for a license to sell liquor between midnight and 6am. I objected last year and I still strenuously object. This station may seem to be on a busy, through-street but it is in the middle of the Willows neighbo...
Dear Council: I was not pleased that the planning commission accepted the “revised” plans for the building at 40 Willow Road. That is a super-congested corner already. From my house in the Willows, I bike to that corner to cross over to Palo Alto to connect with the Bryant Street bike boulevard th...
Council Members: PLEASE DO NOT close Alma at Ravenswood! I live in the Willows — and being able to come north up El Camino, turn right in the right-hand-lane-only onto Alma makes all the difference in the world to me! I can’t tell you how many times I have been so thankful to be on Alma — after El C...
Thank you for your part in supporting the new bike route that will link the 4 cities between Mt. View to Redwood City. I regularly ride my bike in Palo Alto and Menlo Park, primarily using the bike lanes. But I’ve never figured out how to get to Redwood City. I am looking forward to following the...
