Dear City Council,
Please support Ray Mueller's park preservation ordinance. As Menlo Park's housing density increases--as it should--we will need our green spaces more than ever. Higher density housing means no backyards, no place for kids to play, other than our parks. The physical and mental health benefits of open areas to walk in are well documented.
Once they are gone, we can never get them back.
Thank you for your consideration.
