September 22, 2026 - City Council Español

Menlo Park City Council meeting, September 22, 2026. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or specific spending allocations were identified, and the City Attorney reported no reportable action from closed session. The Council received a SamTrans presentation on the proposed Dumbarton corridor redesign, including dedicated bus lanes, nine stations, and walking and cycling connections. SamTrans described the project as being in feasibility and community-engagement work, with a preferred alternative expected to go to its board in spring and environmental review and preliminary engineering estimated to take about four years; no procurement action or funding amount was presented. Public comments raised project costs, local hiring, apprenticeships, labor standards, and environmental and traffic impacts.

The Council also held a study session on the revised Parkline master plan, presented by Lane Partners and its project team. The revisions reduce commercial space and add housing, including below-market-rate units; speakers and Council members discussed school capacity, traffic, affordable housing, all-electric requirements, worker protections, and further analysis, but the Council took no action on the plan. In a separate public hearing, the Council unanimously approved a tentative subdivision map for 800 Oak Grove Avenue, covering a project with 15 residential units, a commercial unit, and one below-market-rate unit. This was an approval action, not a contract award.
