Dear Honorable Mayor Veenker and Members of the Palo Alto City Council, As Owner of Naschmarkt located at 2323 Birch Street 94306 in the California Avenue Business District, I am writing to express my strong support for the reappointment of Dr. Forest Peterson to the Planning & Transportation Commission.
Commissioner Peterson has demonstrated genuine engagement with our business corridor. He listens to our concerns about street maintenance, pedestrian access, and infrastructure improvements that directly affect our livelihoods. His technical expertise and hands-on approach to understanding our needs as business owners is exactly what this commission requires.
I respectfully urge the Council to reappoint Dr. Peterson to continue his service on the Planning & Transportation Commission.
Sincerely,
T
Owner, Naschmarkt
