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.
So far it seems to me the Council is working against the interests of Menlo Park, possibly because prior Councils did not act expeditiously, but two wrongs dont make a right.
