It has been 25 years since voters approved funding to replace the outdated inter-

change where Willow Road meets U.S. 101 in Menlo Park, but on May 7, Menlo Park City Council members tried to finally nudge the project closer to real-ity by giving a nod to one of the design options suggested by the multi-agency group currently working on the interchange. The plan favored by the City Council includes bike lanes and pedestrian walk-ways on the over-pass, separated from vehicle traf-fic by a concrete barrier, as well as two-lane on- and off-ramps designed to cut back on free-way and Willow Road backups. Additional bike lanes would be next to vehicle lanes on the 162-foot-wide overpass structure. Instead of the cloverleaf design of the current inter-change, traffic would stop at signal lights before entering Willow Road. Council member Ray Mueller said Menlo Park might even be able to use the prospect of the new interchange, which should ease traffic problems for motor-ists heading to Palo Alto and East Palo Alto, as a bargaining chip in trying to get Palo Alto to resolve a long-standing traf-fic issue. “I think it’s time that we actually start having serious discussions with Palo Alto about opening up Alma to Sand Hill,” he said. Funding to replace the inter-change, built in 1955, was approved by county voters in 1988 as part of the Measure A transportation fund sales tax spending plan, and a study on the project was completed the next year, but it was never given final approval. The interchange was again included in the spend-ing plan when Measure A was renewed in 2004. The interchange is in Menlo

Park, but is under the jurisdic-tion of Caltrans, which worked with the city as well as East Palo Alto and C-CAG — the City-County Association of Govern-ments in San Mateo County — on the project.

“I believe that local newspaper advertising is essential to my real estate business.”

– Mary GillesThere is something tangible and personal about holding the paper over your morning coffee that cannot be replaced by surfi ng the net. The paper provides a much richer experience because it is one of the key elements that defi ne a community. Home buyers are buying the community as much as the house they are seeking.

The importance of print advertising was never more apparent until recently when a luxury property I was preparing for the market was advertised in the Weekly and the Almanac. Soon after the ad appeared, we sold the home to the buyer who saw the ad and called her agent asking to see the home. Just like that.

This is why I will continue to make advertising in the Weekly and the Almanac a key part of my marketing plan.

We will work to help your business grow! For Advertising information, please call
