Menlo Park’s City Council is pushing affordable housing developers to build 6+ story high-density apartments on three heavily-used, downtown parking lots despite widespread opposition from residents and businesses. Save Downtown Menlo, a grassroots coalition of residents and business owners, is fighting back with a ballot measure that would require voter approval before any downtown parking lots can be repurposed. If you’re a Menlo Park voter and haven’t signed the petition already, please sign today at these locations: Sunday, Oct. 5, 11am-1pm - Cafe Zoe Sunday, Oct 5, 3pm-5pm - Sharon Heights Safeway Several large Alternative Sites for housing don’t sacrifice our downtown. Let’s build on the Alternate Sites BEFORE irrevocably changing our charming Menlo Park downtown. |
