Sunday June 8, I spent the afternoon volunteering at the Save Downtown Parking booth, collecting many more enthusiastic signatures. Each council member should sit quietly at our booth and JUST LISTEN. Here is what you would have heard today: "The whole idea is a Disaster!", "I dont live in Menl...
Dear Council members, I am thinking about the comment from a Menlo Park voter about what the apartments will actually be like: 1) looking out my new apartment window to the west I see a 5 to 8 story parking ramp. 2) looking South, North and East I see black top roofs with Air Conditioners, 3) I...
