1255 Sherman Avenue Menlo Park CA 94025 June 9, 2025 Dear Menlo Park City Council: We are writing in support of maintaining the partial closure of the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue. We are aware of the loss of parking and the inconvenience to vehicular traffic of the current configuration....

You wrote a very good article on bike safety citing a lot of good common sense from Sgt.

The Menlo Park downtown is truly a regional embarrassment. When we moved to the area in 1994, San Carlos, Los Altos, and Menlo...

It was useful to have expanded outdoor dining during COVID, both for the safety of residence and the solvency of restaurants. During that time, people were not commuting, going to school in-person or driving a...

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...
