I’ve been a resident here in Menlo Park since 1993. It’s been a wonderful town to raise my family. The one thing I could never understand is why our Downtown is so poorly developed. We know the effect of the pandemic on business, but the decay of our downtown started way before that. I recall wh...

I need to sincerely thank the City Council, and city staff, for its steadfast efforts to get our Housing Element at last approved. Perhaps armed with this, we can now find a way to prevent the builders remedy project that Russian oligarchs plan for the Sunset Magazine property. Steve Follmer Willow Road
