Menlo Park council to reconsider Stanford project

As a homeowner in a neighborhood, which will become a "pass through" for the proposed offices on Sand Hill, I welcome the reassessment of development of the Buck Estate. Yes, it's NIMBY, but it's also applying some sense to ever increasing "pass through" traffic in our residential neighborhoods.

Thank you council for revisiting this approval. Be sure to get accurate information. When Santa Clara County approved the GUP, Sand Hill Rd did not connect directly with El Camino Real, the Stanford Medical Center and shopping center expansions had not been approved. So it is imperative to look at accurate traffic information at Sand Hill Road intersections, cut-through traffic, etc. that includes these significant changes. The Med Center expansion isn't complete yet, so the current traffic conditions should assume its impacts as if it were open.
Needless to say, it would be astonishing to conclude that the intersection at El Camino Real fit the GUP's projections when that intersection didn't exist.

Menlo Park doesn't need to approve this request. Far better would be to annex in order to get playing fields and housing than yet more offices.

This project should be rejected there is already too much traffic on Sandhill Road and this office building would just add too much traffic to the already congested situation.
