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,



Nancy Tomkins
