Hooray for the Citizens’ Initiative!

Mayor Combs and City Council,

As someone who lives downtown, 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,

I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as
a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as
an architect of peace.
