Menlo Park Apartments
Menlo Park is a city in San Mateo County, California in the United States of America. It is located at latitude 37 29′ North, longitude 1229′ West. Menlo Park had 30,785 inhabitants as of the 2000 U.S. Census. It should be noted that the origin of the name of Menlo Park, California pre-dates (ca 1850) any work done by Thomas Edison (ca 1876) in Menlo Park, New Jersey.
Menlo Park suffers from severe traffic congestion at rush hour and school hours owing to its proximity to Stanford University, and its lack of any arterials or freeways that directly connect Interstate 280 to U.S. Route 101. Much of the city’s arterial network consists of two-lane roads.
Menlo Park has a policy against parking on residential streets between 2 AM and 5 AM. This policy is enforced by the Menlo Park Police Department every night of the year. Each vehicle is allotted only one warning before being ticketed with a $35 fine. Residents may purchase annual parking permits if they live in certain apartment buildings within the city limits that lack adequate resident parking spaces and are zoned R3. All residents may purchase up to 50 one-night parking permits each six months for guests (guest permits cost $10 for a pack of 5 as of April 2005). Vehicles for the handicapped are exempt.
