Dear Mayor Combs and City Council Members,
As a Menlo Park resident, I recognize the critical need for affordable housing solutions that enhance our communitys fabric. Strategic development in appropriate locations can truly strengthen our neighborhoods.
However, our downtowns vitality hinges on the accessibility that our public parking plazas provide. These spaces arent just parking—theyre the foundation that makes our shared downtown heart function for everyone. Converting them represents an irreversible transformation that will reshape Menlo Park for generations.
A decision of this magnitude deserves the input of those who call this city home. The residents who navigate these streets daily, who support local businesses, and who understand the delicate balance that makes our downtown thrive should have their voices heard directly.
I respectfully urge you to support the Downtown Parking Plazas Ordinance, empowering Menlo Park citizens to participate in determining our communitys future.
Your commitment to representing our communitys interests is deeply appreciated.
Best.
Brian L.
