The Menlo Park population grew 4% - 7% from 1995 - 2009. It grew 10% - 14% from 1995 - present.

The article misleading indicates that the Planning Commission will continue its review of the EIR. The PC is rather scheduling four meetings (or more) for review of the Specific Plan itself, which may include use of the draft EIR findings. The PC also made numerous comments about the traffic modeling approach used in the draft EIR on the Monday before the Transportation Commission's meeting.
