We’ve just published a new page with viable Alternative Sites for housing in Menlo Park:

👉 savedowntownmenlo.org/alternativesites

These locations could provide the needed housing without undermining downtown business vitality.

Let your neighbors know what you think on this Nextdoor post 

These alternatives are being well-received by the public. And yet, this Tuesday, City Council plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for developers to repurpose our downtown parking lots — as if no other options exist.

💬 Make your voice heard:

📅 Tuesday, Aug. 26 – 5:30 pm (our item, K-1, will be later)
📍 City Council Chambers, 751 Laurel St.
📄 Agenda (includes Zoom info)

📧 Email Council: city.council@menlopark.gov

✨ Remember: if the Save Downtown Menlo ballot measure passes, the voters will have the final say. Speaking up now isn’t just for City Council — it’s for your neighbors, who will ultimately decide whether to repurpose the downtown parking lots.

Thank you,
Save Downtown Menlo
