No shuttle offered on Bay Road between Willow Road and Marsh Road. Also no bus service. Ignored again. I also learned Bay Road between Ringwood and VanBuren has been removed from the list of Capital Improvement Projects. Parts of Bay Road have a pavement condition index of 35 out of 100. Some patch...

An item included in the past council meeting was the Coleman/ Ringwood study session that was not a study session. A study session would have discussed the consequences of the pilot program to make Coleman Avenue one way. Where is the traffic that normally travels Coleman to Willow going to go? Neit...

Dear San Mateo County, city of Menlo Park, and Menlo Park School district officials, I wanted to express my frustration and strong opposition to the one-way pilot that was discussed at the Menlo Park City Council meeting this week. This almost two-year-long project has been hijacked by a few loud...

The pilot idea to make Coleman Avenue one way is unacceptable and decreases the safety for other routes to school. Traffic will be sent to Ringwood Avenue and Bay Road. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood is very busy during commute times. The intersection is used by students using the pede...

The proposal to make Coleman one way or closed at the county line are unacceptable. These ideas send traffic to other streets and into other neighborhoods where there are kids, commuters, bikers as well, making those areas more dangerous. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood has heavy traffic ...

Dear Meta Oversight Board, We are writing to express our outrage and deep condemnation of your decision to allow the phrase “From the river to the sea” to remain on Meta’s platforms. This is not a matter of free speech; it is a call for genocide—a rallying cry for the destruction of Israel and th...

Regarding the informational item N2. The county and complete streets is proposing a pilot option to close Coleman Ave where the county and city lines meet. The proposal says the traffic will go to Bay Road or Willow to reach Ringwood Ave. Bay Road is overwhelmed with morning traffic now. There is a ...

Included in the City’s five year street maintenance plan is Bay Road from VanBuren Road to Ringwood Avenue. Finally. New, wider sidewalks where two people can walk side by side, not one in the bike lane and one on the sidewalk, also needs to be included in a CIP project. Bay Road is busy with commut...

City council members, please do not allow housing in sites 67 through 72 at this time. In the general plan use designation in table 7-1 of the housing element sites 67 -72 are designated as “Bayfront Area”. That feels too close to District 1. It would be an asset to district 1 and 2 to have retail s...

Wind barriers should not be allowed. The see through material will not be kept clean and will block the view of store fronts. The original streetaries did not have wind barriers but were open with a plant screens and umbrellas. This is much more attractive and open and less cluttered. I don’t like s...
