Vote for the Save Downtown Menlo initiative!

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 are a Menlo Park voter, in November vote for the initiative!

Housing projects are going forward with over 1,500 units, which will strain Menlo Park’s infrastructure including our schools - SRI Parkline, USGS, and the Sunset Magazine two 30-story towers.

Don’t sacrifice our downtown

Let’s build on the Alternate Sites BEFORE irrevocably changing our charming Menlo Park downtown.

Once the parking lots are gone, our welcoming downtown character will be GONE.

Stand up for local control and common sense.

If we lose Downtown Menlo Park, what comes next? Your Peninsula city may be next for your downtown parking lots!
