Menlo Park is facing a nearly $1 million deficit in its annual budget for the coming fiscal year, thanks in part to a lawsuit over its utility tax and the need to staff up the new community center in the Belle Haven neighborhood.
Menlo Park residents and city staff gathered Thursday, May 11 for a Menlo Park Community Collaboration meeting focused on power outages and how neighbors can help each other.
Police in Menlo Park stopped a disproportionate number of Hispanic or Latino people last year, according to Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) data released by the city s police department.
Menlo Park s Middle Avenue Project is aimed at improving the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians, and last month the City Council approved a field trial of new bikes lanes. There are many reasons to re-examine that decision.
The Menlo Park City Council voted to remove street parking from Middle Avenue in 3-2 vote with Council member Drew Combs and Vice Mayor Cecilia Taylor opposed at the Feb. 14 meeting.
