Mayor Combs and City Council Members,I support more affordable housing in Menlo Park. In the right locations, it will strengthen our community.But our community is built around a shared downtown — and the downtown depends on the public parking plazas. Repurposing those plazas would be a once-in-a-generation decision with extreme consequences.On this decision, I trust the people of Menlo Park to do whats best for the town in which they live.I therefore urge you to adopt the Downtown Parking Plazas Ordinance, giving residents the right to vote on the future of their downtown.Thank you for your service in representing the people of Menlo Park.
Please, leave the parking lots in downtown Menlo Park. Do not build. I use the parking lots for parking and to go shopping two to three time a week. It anything, beautify the parking lots by increasing litter collection, adding trees and shrubs where appropriate.
Thank you.
