Posted by MP voter, a resident of the Menlo Park: South of Seminary/Vintage Oaks neighborhood, on Oct 22, 2006 at 9:28 am I think it's very reasonable to ask the Menlo Park City Council to listen to and follow the reccommendations of our Parks and Recreation Commission, which spent many many months studying the field situation in Menlo Park. This Commission was given just a few minutes to present the findings of this report to the Council. And then the Council put forth their own idea - part of their continued push to develop Bayfront Park.
With treatment like this, it's amazing we can find anyone to volunteer to serve on a commission in this city.
The Council has already spent $30-40k to put this advisory measure on the ballot. They want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars more investigating whether Bayfront is the solution to our fields problem? It's clearly not. Why don't they look to their own experts, and implement some of their suggestions first?
Measure J isn't really about our children. It's a sham put forth by Duboc and Wnkler in an attempt to get the soccer families out to vote for them.
Menl Park voters are smarter than that. Vote No on J. And vote in some real leaders who will make open, honest decisions that work for all of us.
