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 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 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...

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...
