Dear Menlo Park City Council,
I just learned that the council is considering reopening Santa Cruz Avenue all the way to El Camino. I am writing to let you know that I am very opposed to the removal of the outdoor dining and seating in that block of Santa Cruz. The tiny inconvenience of taking an alternate route to El Camino is well worth it to have more outdoor gathering spaces. With so many empty storefronts on Santa Cruz Ave, this is a welcome glimmer of vibrancy in our downtown. Please don’t eliminate something that has been so positive for our community.
Many thanks,
Elaine Cummings
