Hi, My name is Josh Olson, a former resident of Menlo Park who moved away for an engineering education in the Midwest and didnt come back because it was too expensive. I offer this advice as someone who grew up biking through the Santa Cruz Ave parking lots on my way to Hillview Middle School:...
This is really unbelievable. Parking is already a big issue in downtown Menlo Park, traffic has become a nightmare and the vitality of Menlo Park is suffering. As a 30yr plus resident, I implore the Council to find real, sensible solutions to the issues our city faces. Gale Olson

I strongly encourage you to adopt a quiet zone policy for trains running thru Menlo Park. The frequent horns blaring from the passing trains diminishes our quality of life. Thank you. Gale Olson
