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...
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.

Hi Jen, I’m on your Parents for Safe Routes distribution list and applaud your efforts. I am very sorry to learn of your spill.
