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...

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...
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...
Hello City Council Members, I enthusiastically support the City Staff’s recommendation to make the buffered bicycles lanes permanent. We need to continue to strive to protect cyclists from being harmed by cars and trucks during the simple activity of riding a bicycle. It is time to prepare...

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, I have been a homeowner and resident of Menlo Park for the last 9 years, and have two children that attend the local schools in the area. I’d like to bring up an important topic that our family feels is important to the area near the Willows, where we reside. A top 2024 prio...
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...
To whom it may concern: I was just reading about this issue here on Scott Drive in Menlo Park. This is enough now with all these motor homes & RVs parked out here in front of our employment. I have come close to being hit a few times due to not being able to see out of the driveway or onto Campbe...
