Dear Menlo Park City Council, Please do not give up on our downtown as a center for commerce. Our 200+ downtown businesses are serving people through Menlo Park and surrounding communities, but only because they are accessible by car. A ring of dense housing on the parking lots will deter anyo...

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 afternoon, I am writing to submit a comment in reference to the proposed development at the SRI site at 333 Ravenswood Ave. The proposed plan has many positives, especially its proximity to mass transit and avoidance of high-rise developments like the one proposed for the Sunset lot. I w...

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 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, There are several streets in MP that have signs saying “No Parking Anytime” or “No Stopping” and still often have cars blocking the bike lanes. The one i find most dangerous is Ravenswood (between Middlefield and Laurel) where there are often landscaping trucks and sometimes delivery vans block...
