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...

I live in Menlo Park, but previous to the addition of Pickleball courts at Nealon, I had to drive to Palo Alto to play. Now I play several mornings a week at Nealon and am finding it is becoming much more popular with 16 people playing and many more waiting. While waiting, I typically see only 1 or ...

I am a resident of Crocus Ct and the cross street is this Santa Cruz Avenue section referred to by Ron Snow. In this letter to Council, Ron Snow is absolutely correct to address the dangers to pedestrians and bicycles at the speed most cars travel. It is in the best interest of not only those of u...

N2 Item: Further to Ron Snows letter of todays date, I would urge that the speed limit be reduced from 30 to the prima facie 25 mph limitation for all the reasons Ron stated.

I also understan...

Menlo Park Planning and Council, I am joining others that would like to insure that the hundreds and hundreds of trees in the Sharon Heights golf course are NOT REMOVED. What a crime to the climate, environment, and to biodiversity this would be. What would this teach our children? The plans ...

Please reduce the two-block-long 30 mph speed limit on Santa Cruz Avenue from Avy to Alameda. This is such a bad segment with cars flying onto it from Sand Hill Road, made worse by: NO sidewalks NO lights Narrow shoulder, alway filled with parked cars associated with the never-ending construct...

I am writing my support of the Housing Element Draft Plan for Menlo Park. We need housing, especially affordable housing to support the diversity and betterment of our community that will result. I especially support two current proposed developments....the Flood School Site and the SRI developmen...

Dear City Council Members, I wanted to give you a big thank you for your kind words on the Proclamation of recognition for my services to the city. The real reward is the sense of accomplishment of completing tasks that benefitted Menlo Park and surrounding area constituents. Your words are hum...
