Greetings to our Councilmembers, We are pleased that the time has come for a review of making Santa Cruz Ave. a 2-way street again. We spent some time reading Staff Report 25-090-CC this week. As in earlier notes to the council we remain firmly in favor of reopening the 600 block to 2-way vehi...
Dear Council Members: Today, in 45 minutes, I collected 25 signatures on the Ballot Measure from the people who ACTUALLY live and shop in Downtown Menlo Park. At one point there were 3 people lined up waiting to sign the "ballot measure". Everyone had a negative comment about the city councils...
Dear City Council, I am a resident of Menlo Park for 15 years. I am writing to express my support for keeping Santa Cruz at least partially closed from car traffic if not ideally closing both lanes. Having a car-free area for pedestrians and diners to safely enjoy contributes to the vibrancy o...

Dear Mayor and City Council Members: We would like to express our support to maintain the existing street closure on a portion of Santa Cruz Avenue. We don’t live in Menlo Park but we visit it frequently, including for grocery and other shopping, and to eat at our favorite restaurant, Bistro Vi...
. Dear City Council Members, Please do not pass the resolution on city speed limits unless Olive St is added to list of streets that should change to 25mph. Olive St is a major thoroughfare for Hillview kids on bikes and foot, and it’s very dangerous for students on Olive St, where cars drive...

This capability at the municipal level would significantly facilitate complete street designs satisfying reside...
