Hooray for the Citizens’ Initiative!

Mayor Combs and City Council,

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,
