Mayor Combs and City Council,
I support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative.
Menlo Park’s downtown businesses depend on the access provided by the
parking plazas. A decision to repurpose those lots should be made by the
businesses and residents who use them - not by outside consultants who get
the City Council to buy into their magical thinking. Are these consultants
even residents of Menlo Park?
Whether Council adopts the ordinance outright, places it on the November
ballot, or calls for a special election, at least the people who have made
this town the great place it is will have a say in what happens to our
vital downtown in the future. How three or four people can give away our
future is a mystery.
Thank you,
E. McMillan
