Mayor Combs and City Council,
We want downtown Menlo Park to be a vibrant place that people want to
visit. This will help our merchants. Therefore, 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,
-Justin Clayton
