Dear distinguished council members, I want to register my severe objection to the proposed plan to make Coleman a one-way street. While I agree with certain parts of the proposal, such as removing parking on the street, a one-way traffic pattern devoting all subsequent traffic to other streets is...
Dear Menlo Park City Council, "Prioritizing parking over people is a road to nowhere." This simple truth underscores my support for maintaining the partial closure of Santa Cruz Avenue to cars until a more holistic and community-driven approach to downtown revitalization is developed. Rushing to...
Hi there, Is the red light camera in Menlo Park at the intersection of Bayfront Expwy and Willow Rd (in front of Facebook) active or inactive?

Dear Mayor Taylor, Council Members and Staff, I am writing to make sure you are aware of two important Quiet Zone developments to our north and south. First, last Friday, March 1st, Atherton officially declared the Watkins Avenue crossing a Quiet Zone. Upgrades to this crossing were completed...
Dear City Council members and Staff: I am writing to applaud the City for the pilot safety improvements on Middle Ave between El Camino (ECR) and University, but also to point out the dangerous lack of proper bicycle lane markings and signage on the intended northbound bike lane (opposite Nealon...
