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.
We can find alternative sites for more housing in Menlo Park.
These areas in downtown were designed and constructed for parking. Not planned or designed or spaced for housing. Let us keep the areas for parking as existing.
Thank you,-
