The pilot idea to make Coleman Avenue one way is unacceptable and decreases the safety for other routes to school. Traffic will be sent to Ringwood Avenue and Bay Road. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood is very busy during commute times. The intersection is used by students using the pede...
Dear Council, I was just made aware of a proposal to restrict Coleman Avenue to one way traffic heading towards Ringwood Avenue at all times. As a resident of Lindenwood, this is a terrible idea.While it may make it safer for children during the morning commute, it creates a multitude of problems...
Hello City Council, My name is Oliver Borrone, and I currently work in the front of the house as General Manager at Cafe Borrone in Menlo Park. We are located in the Menlo Center right on the El Camino. It has recently been brought to our attention not only by customers but by staff as well - that...
The proposal to make Coleman one way or closed at the county line are unacceptable. These ideas send traffic to other streets and into other neighborhoods where there are kids, commuters, bikers as well, making those areas more dangerous. The intersection of Bay Road and Ringwood has heavy traffic...

This would allow forward movement in trying solutions for this situation. Given the number of schools in this area and the...
Dear Mayor and Council members, I want to applaud you for closing Blake Street to vehicular traffic from/to Middle Avenue. Coupled with the recently installed flashing beacons at the same intersection for pedestrians crossing Middle Avenue, it has been a huge improvement to the safety of Blak...
Dear City Council: Thank you for approving the closure of Blake St at the intersection with Middle/Nealon Park. I have lived on Blake St for more than 10 years and during this time have witnessed "cut-through" traffic increase dramatically (by which I mean traffic that has no origins in our...
I remember now how I believe this "truck route" designation happened. Several years ago Menlo Park and Stanford contracted for the expansion of the Sand Hill Road and the right hand turn from Alpine to Junipero Serra. When construction commenced the entire section of Santa Cruz Ave between Alpine...
Dear City Council Members, I appreciate your efforts to make pedestrian and bike access safer on Coleman Avenue, but I would like to strongly oppose making Coleman Avenue a one-way street. I live on Berkeley Avenue in Menlo Oaks and I believe this would have several negative impacts. First, it...
