Mayor Combs and City Council,
I am writing to urge you to support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative. Menlo Park’s downtown, 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. (I use those spots almost daily-- with regular visits to Starbucks, Ace Hardware, Trader Joes, and other shops)
Whether Council adopts the ordinance outright, places it on the November ballot, or calls a special election, it is important to let the residents have a vote. This is what democracy is all about.
Thank you,
Margaret Race, Ph.D.
