Hello: My name is Jon Hagstrum and I have lived at 430 O’Connor Street since I bought the house in 1985. Yesterday a MP police officer came to my door to inform me that a neighbor had complained about our 1999 Toyota pickup truck we keep parked in our driveway. Attached is a picture of the tru...
Dear City Council: As a Laurel parent, I want to express my concerns about the dangers on Coleman Avenue for Menlo Park families biking, walking, or scootering to school. Its shocking that our community has not taken steps to improve safety despite years of increasing congestion from parked cars,...
Dear City Council Members: I whole-heartedly support the proposed speed limit reductions. The past state-level practice of letting motorists determine speed limits based on what they think is safe was totally inappropriate because there that provides zero consideration of what was safe for pedestri...

Hi, I’m reaching out to express my support for initiatives to make Coleman safer for the community.

As a long-time Menlo Park resident, I am commenting on this disastrous experiment. Theres no way to make any road 100% safe unless you ban all cars, bikes, pedestrians and scooters from it. The stop sign at San Mateo has significantly slowed traffic and there is no need to slow it more. Your ex...
I write to oppose the new proposed local speed limits being proposed this evening, and particularly the approach the city seems to be taking. This frankly reads like it will be mostly more worthless “sign wash” and no real change in behavior. That same pattern seems to be Menlo Park’s main traffic...
Good Morning, I was unclear who to email in this circumstance, so Ive copied all who I hope would be helpful. My family and I recently moved onto Elder Ave, directly across from Hillview Middle School in Menlo Park. Its a lovely street and neighborhood, but car speeds were a concern from day...
Dear Members of the Menlo Park City Council, I have been a resident of the city portion of Coleman Avenue for ten years, living with my husband, James, and our three school-aged children, who bike and walk this corridor daily. My oldest, now in 11th grade, was in elementary school at Lower Laurel...
