I am utterly opposed to approval of this project because:. • It is grotesquely oversized and downright ugly. • It is beside the creek: the only naturally flowing creek in the county that is home to various endangered or protected species. • Increased impermeable surf...

I want more housing but taking over the parking lots downtown is crazy. Even if you put up garages that is not the solution. Everywhere there are garages there are more crimes: even a murder earlier this year in Palo Alto. Plus it is just not workable for seniors and people with mobility issues. ...

I do not approve of this. Parking is really hard in downtown as it is. People circle round and round trying to find a place to park when shopping. It is especially hard for older folks or people with kids. Menlo Park downtown is practically dead whereas downtown Los Altos is vibrant. It has par...

I dont think this is a good idea. Sometimes I have to drive around and around for ages to find a parking place.

I remember now how I believe this "truck route" designation happened. Several years ago Menlo Park and Stanford contracted for the expansion of the Sand Hill Road and the right hand turn from Alpine to Junipero Serra.

Alpine Road never used to be a truck route. I have lived on Alpine for nearly 60 years and remember when people rode their horses from Webb Ranch to the Red Barn at Stanford. Menlo Park and Stanford negotiated to widen the intersections at Alpine and Sand Hill and after that there appeared a sign...

Most of the festivities associated with Christianity are actually derived from Pagan celebrations. Nobody really knows when Jesus, assuming he existed, was born or crucified - or even much about him. The celebrations have been so commercialized that they no longer have a major relevance to religiou...

COMMENT ON MIDDLE AVENUE PARKING The ban on parking may be having an impact on parking for seniors at Little House, many of whom have mobility problems. Little House has a big sign stating that the parking in front of the facility is for Little House only until 3 p.m. M-F. This restriction is i...

When I, and some others, went to last weeks Strong for Life class at Burgess we found that all the senior programs at the Arrillaga Center had been discontinued and moved to Belle Haven. This is unacceptable. I am happy that residents of Belle Haven have a wonderful facility to enjoy but it is not...

I agree with most of the city responses. However, I would like something done about the Hillview students. When school lets out the kids from Hillview are an absolute menace on Santa Cruz Ave and surrounding streets. They ride in both directions on the sidewalks and in the bike lanes and in the g...
