"Greenheart's balanced and classy design is meant to match the goals of our Downtown/El Camino Real Specific Plan," according to Mr. Malony. However, there's little consideration for people or the trees that give Menlo Park its name and logo. Traffic is one big headache now and will even become bigger no matter what is said at City Council meetings. In addition, Greenheart was asked by local citizens to consider not clear-cutting the property of it's heritage oaks and significant trees which it claimed were in the way. It was also asked to plant natives instead ornamentals once the project is completed. Hopefully someone in the City's structure will look up from collecting tax dollars and will hold Greenheart to that. If not, Menlo Park and its government, from the City's Arborist and EQC to the City Council, will have forsaken Menlo Park and its oak tree logo.
