Honorable Mayor Ohtaki and Members of the City Council,
Please approve a street-based public loading zone adjacent to Draeger’s Market in downtown Menlo Park. Maintaining a public
loading zone is critical for the daily operations of Draeger’s Market and the many other businesses operating in that part of our
downtown business district. Draeger’s Market is a critical retail anchor for Menlo Park’s downtown and they support a thriving
business district by bringing shoppers downtown who also frequent surrounding businesses. Menlo Park should support our
locally-owned and family businesses because that’s what makes our downtown special and adds to the quality of life in Menlo Park.
Again, as a Menlo Park resident, I urge you to approve a street-based public loading zone for the use of Draeger’s Market and all
the businesses in that area of downtown. They are an important part of the town and of the character here. They keep clean areas,
they make their exterior appealing and are a landmark for all of those who come through our town or are new to our town. Let’s let
them proceed with the wonderful success and the high esteemed business requirements they need.
Thank you,
Ashley and David Wagstaff1800 Oakdell Drive, MP
