How much input did Menlo Park request from Palo Alto regarding the 500 ECR project?

Time to go court to fight the "Robber Baron."

Time to put the brakes on all Stanford projects in Menlo Park and to take a long look at the traffic situation and start making unilateral changes to protect the resident of MP from Stanford and Palo Alto. Stanford and Palo Alto both seem happy to push traffic on our streets while making effors to limit cars on their own. I would start with a dedicated U-Turn lane on El Camino at Creek or Harvard to let cars coming from Sand Hill go back to Alma. Also look at a way to force cars to go South on El Camino from the new Stanford development they are trying to build where the car dealerships were. I would also put a stop sign or light at Middlefield and Woodland to slow down the traffic entering Menlo to take Willow to the Dumbarton.

If Palo Alto and Stanford don't want to work with Menlo Park we can just start doing things that we need to protect our streets and neighborhoods.

Brian - All the horses that you are riding have already left the barn with the DSP and the 500 ECR FINAL approval.
