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 Menlo Park City Council, I am writing to express my support in keeping the 600 block of Santa Cruz avenue as-is. That is, with a bike lane and closed on one side, and one-way traffic on the other. Best, Madeline Jhawar 440 Gilbert Ave, Menlo Park
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...
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...

Hi Council; I'm a frequent user (4+ times a week) of the new Oak Grove bike lane, and I'm so pleased that it's in now, rather than having to ride on the shoulder and dodge traffic. I'm on a cargo bike hauling two children, so having that defined space for us makes a big difference in our comfort and...
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...
