Hooray for the Citizens’ Initiative!

Mayor Combs and City Council,I enthusiastically support the Downtown Parking Plazas Citizens’ Initiative.Menlo Park’s downtown, quite simply, depends on the access provided by the parking plazas. A decision to repurpose those lots should be made by the residents who use them - not by outside consultants.Whether Council adopts the ordinance outright, places it on the November ballot, or calls a special election, it will be a great day for democracy in Menlo Park and for members of the HANDICAPPED COMMUNITY !Jim Gatten My wife and I use MP restaurants,a real estate consultant and an attorney all directly accessible from your at grade parking. Inserting low and lower income earners in a commercial area is a bizarre idea to begin with not mention the parking problems it will create. Also the availability of much more welcoming and logical sites to accomplish the same goal makes one wonder how the bureaucrats and planning consultants ever came up with such a dramatically poor location idea !
