Re-imagine Menlo Park is creating a small advisory team that aim to effectively mobilize, inform, guide, organize, and represent residents and Downtown business owners who want – and believe they deserve – a more inviting, visually attractive and economically successful Downtown and feel their city government neither shares this objective nor understands how to take advantage of the extraordinary knowledge, experience, and talent in our community. Transforming Downtown will take a sustained collective community effort over several years and require overcoming resistance and obstacles. Hopefully, our community will accept the challenge because it values the destination.
This web page will provide updates on Advisory Team activities and progress.
