Dear Menlo Park City Council. I write in deep concern of the Menlo Park Pools, Belle Haven and Burgess. I have been swimming at Burgess Pool for nearly 20 years. I have known Tim Sheeper for over 35 years as a coach and friend. I have attended an aquatics meeting held at Burgess to support the...
Dear Menlo Park City Council, I am writing to express my support in keeping the 600 block of Santa Cruz avenue as-is. That is, with a bike lane and closed on one side, and one-way traffic on the other. Best, Madeline Jhawar 440 Gilbert Ave, Menlo Park
1255 Sherman Avenue Menlo Park CA 94025 June 9, 2025 Dear Menlo Park City Council: We are writing in support of maintaining the partial closure of the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue. We are aware of the loss of parking and the inconvenience to vehicular traffic of the current configuration....
Mayor Combs and City Council Members, I support more affordable housing in Menlo Park. In the right locations, it will strengthen our community. But our community is built around a shared downtown — and the downtown depends on the public parking plazas. Repurposing those plazas would be a once...

Hi, I am writing in support of the proposed conversion of the Guild into a music venue. I am life long resident of the peninsula and currently live in Portola Valley. I love live music, especially artists who would be best seen in small venues such as the proposed Guild. I find that getting to most...
Dear City Council members: I’m writing to urge you to expand your consideration of our downtown and treat Santa Cruz Avenue (SCA) as a whole, rather than block by block. The Menlo Park downtown is truly a regional embarrassment. When we moved to the area in 1994, San Carlos, Los Altos, and Menlo...
