The City of Menlo Park requested assistance with community outreach and the preparation of a conceptual design to reimagine the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue, located in the heart of downtown. Originally established as temporary outdoor dining during the pandemic, the space quickly became a popular, but has suffered ongoing challenges from its ad hoc configuration. Conceptual design ideas were presented to the public for feedback through a series of engagement events, including three on-site pop-ups.
