You are subscribed to the Menlo Park El Camino Real/Downtown Visioning
Project Update - Newsletter and 10/24 Speaker Series Reminder [
http://www.menlopark.org/projects/comdev_ecrdowntown.htm ] for Menlo
Park. This information has recently been updated with information about
the project newsletter and first speaker series event on Wednesday
10/24:

*Newsletter *

The City has sent a newsletter to introduce the project to the
community. The newsletter was mailed to all Menlo Park postal customers
(both residential and non-residential addresses), as well as to all
Menlo Park property owners that reside out of town. The newsletter
includes a short survey to solicit contact information and initial
thoughts on the El Camino Real and Downtown areas. Electronic versions
of both are available:

* Newsletter [
http://service.govdelivery.com/service/edition.html?code=CAMENLO_176&dat
e=10/19/2007&format=PDF ] (mailed October 18, 2007)
* Interactive Survey [ http://www.menlopark.org/survey/plan_survey.htm ]
- Let the City know what you like about El Camino Real and Downtown, and
what you might like to see change.

*Speaker Series *

To help generate initial ideas and discussion, the City is holding an
educational forum on general planning and transportation topics. The
events will take place at the City Council Chambers (701 Laurel Street),
and will also be available for online viewing on the City's Live and
Archived Media page [
http://menlopark.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2 ]. In
addition, handouts and other meeting materials will be available on the
project web page.
