City Council -
My name is Katie Hahn. I am a Menlo Park resident and am truly shocked that you continue to move forward with the downtown development on the parking lots. Businesses I know and love will never survive without easy access to parking, let alone during the construction phase.
I don’t understand why, knowing this proposed development will move to a resident vote, you continue to waste precious resources on the parking lot development, instead of focusing on alternative sites. Civic Center, SRI, Bohannon - it’s completely untrue that there aren’t alternatives. No site is perfect, it’s true. But downtown is not the place.
You have a duty to the CURRENT residents of Menlo Park to listen. And take feedback. Please don’t destroy a town, and a community of people who love Menlo Park, for a community who doesn’t live here yet. We ALL want affordable housing. This is the wrong place.
Thank you,
Katie Hahn
