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...
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...
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...
Dear City Council Members: I whole-heartedly support the proposed speed limit reductions.

Dear Mayor Taylor, Honorable Members of the City Council, and City Manager Murphy: I write to request your help in redressing visibility around the tree/curb bulb-out at 218 Gilbert Ave. While I appreciate curb extensions in general as a way of calming traffic for cars, or preserving our heritag...
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...
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...
