Demolition and replacement of Koma Sushi building on El Camino

Dear City Council and Planning Commission,

I am very much against the demolition of the building that house Koma Sushi if it is to be replaced by a 3 story medical offices building. We already have way too much traffic on El Camino and lots of resultant cut-thru traffic in Allied Arts during commute hours. We should protect the small local businesses that are disappearing. We should minimize the development of big offices which change the character of our community and bring more congestion.

I am a 13 year resident of the MP downtown and Allied Arts neighborhoods. I also have an office in downtown Menlo Park.

There is a dramatic shortage of parking in downtown M-F 11am-1:30pm. During this time you will find multiple cars circling thru the downtown parking lots and the streets trying to find an open parking spot. Please keep this issue in consideration and support efforts to alleviate it.

Thank you,

Justin Young, MD
