To Mayor Combs and City Council Members,
Regarding affordable housing in Menlo Park, our community is built around a shared downtown — and the downtown depends on the public parking plazas. Repurposing those plazas would be a once-in-a-generation decision with extreme consequences.
On this decision, I trust the people of Menlo Park to do whats best for the town in which they live. Giving this authority to 5 council members, instead of the people, is highly objectionable.
I therefore urge you to adopt the “Downtown Parking Plazas Ordinance,” giving residents the right to vote on the future of their downtown.
Thank you for your service in representing the people of Menlo Park.
