Hooray for the Citizens’ Initiative!

Mayor Combs and City Council,

I enthusiastically support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative.

Menlo Park’s downtown, quite simply, depends predominantly 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 or
misguided council members.

Whether Council adopts the ordinance outright, places it on the November
ballot, or calls a special election, it will be a testimonial step for
democracy in Menlo Park.

Thank you,

Mark Bernstein & Jamie Sullivan
