Bon Marche is a wonderful weekly addition to downtown Menlo Park and our entire community. It demonstrates how the temporary public plaza between Curtis and Doyle can be used to attract more residents downtown and boost the appeal of our central business district. More events are planned to start next spring IF the city council makes the plaza a permanent community resource.

The future of the plaza will be decided at the end of January. All residents who would support that decision should tell their council representative. Send them an email and attend the council meeting.

The best way to support this great effort is to shop at the market every week.
