Subject: I trust the people of Menlo Park 

I support more affordable housing in Menlo Park. Done in the right places, it will strengthen the community. 

But this community is built around a shared, vibrant downtown — and the downtown depends on the public parking plazas. Repurposing those plazas would be a once-in-a-generation decision.

The people of Menlo Park deserve a voice in such an important decision, and I trust them to do what’s best for the town in which they live. 

I therefore urge you to adopt the Downtown Parking Plazas Ordinance without delay.

Thank you for your service in representing the people of Menlo Park.

Respectfully,
