Menlo Park City Council Members,
I urge the city council to adopt Council member Ray Mueller’s proposed Park Preservation Ordinance and place a measure on the ballot that would require a vote of Menlo Park residents to re-zone park land.
I support alternate sites for housing, such as redevelopment of Sharon Heights Shopping Center to a mixed-use site that could include low-income and affordable housing.
Our green space is already in high demand and will become more so as additional housing units are added in the coming years. We need trees to clear our air from smoke and we need open space for our physical and mental well-being.
Please support the public health of current and future generations of Menlo Park residents.
Thank you,
Elizabeth and Pete Schwartz
