Dear City Council, My family will be greatly impacted by the new Stanford project. Their proposal does a disservice to Menlo Park as a town and shows a lack of respect for Menlo Park as a community. THEREFORE, please negotiate a better deal on behalf of Menlo Park residents! Stanford's Current Proposed Agreement: - does not meet Stanford's own traffic reduction and monitoring standards in Santa Clara county - does not meet Stanford's own environmental sustainability standards on campus - does not meet standard payments in lieu of taxes of universities their host cities. According to Save Menlo Park: Harvard provides $4.5 million per year to the City of Cambridge. Yale pays $7.5M to New Haven per year. Currently Stanford only proposes to provide $100K per year to the City to offset the impact to local public schools! Our ask: *Please ensure that Stanford MEETS or EXCEEDS the above standards.* Kind regards, Martha Onasch & Eric Humphriss We are residents and home owners since 1995 at: 550 Morey Drive (at Middle Ave!)
