Greetings to our Councilmembers, We are pleased that the time has come for a review of making Santa Cruz Ave. a 2-way street again. We spent some time reading Staff Report 25-090-CC this week. As in earlier notes to the council we remain firmly in favor of reopening the 600 block to 2-way vehi...
Dear Council, With this topic on the agenda for Tuesday, I’d like to reiterate my support for keeping the 600 block downtown as it is—closed on one side with a bike lane, and one-way on the other. Pedestrian-friendly spaces have played a key role in revitalizing downtowns across the country. T...
Dear Mayor Combs and City Council members, I urge you to vote to keep the 600 block on Santa Cruz Avenue as it is: closed to through traffic heading east. Ali Elsafy, owner of Bistro Vida, has done more to enhance Santa Cruz Avenue than anyone else, and has exciting plans to do even more for th...
Council People, Sanctuary city, again! Lawsuit? You are using taxpayers money to pick a fight with the Feds. How smart is that? A few years back mayor R.M. Told me in no uncertain terms that Menlo was NOT going to become a sanctuary city. A month later it was a "safe city". City funds pissed awa...
Hi, I live in Menlo Park and am writing to ask you to please re-open Santa Cruz Avenue. It was useful to have expanded outdoor dining during COVID, both for the safety of residence and the solvency of restaurants.

Dear Council: Train horn noise has gone from being a bearable irritant to a major problem with the dramatic increase in the number of trains in the system. Most residents living near the tracks were aware of and accepted the noise impact of 40 trains per day. Milestones 1980s (caltrain.com)<https:...
Dear City Council, I am a resident of Menlo Park for 15 years. I am writing to express my support for keeping Santa Cruz at least partially closed from car traffic if not ideally closing both lanes. Having a car-free area for pedestrians and diners to safely enjoy contributes to the vibrancy o...
Dear Mayor and City Council Members: We would like to express our support to maintain the existing street closure on a portion of Santa Cruz Avenue. We don’t live in Menlo Park but we visit it frequently, including for grocery and other shopping, and to eat at our favorite restaurant, Bistro Vi...
