Mayor Combs and City Council,
I support additional housing downtown IF the developers first build a multi tiered parking garage behind Wells Fargo before housing construction starts. Otherwise I enthusiastically support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative.
Menlo Park’s downtown, quite simply, depends on the access provided by the parking plazas. A decision to repurpose those lots should be made by the residents who use them - not by outside consultants.
Whether Council adopts the ordinance outright, places it on the November ballot, or calls a special election, it will be a great day for democracy in Menlo Park.
Thank you,
Lily Hurlimann
