Changes emerge in plans to build village at SRI Menlo Park campus
Briefly

Lane Partners proposed a redevelopment of the SRI campus in Menlo Park, reducing commercial space by 28% to address community concerns regarding traffic. The Parkline neighborhood will replace the SRI complex, incorporating 800 housing units, 1 million square feet of commercial space, and 20 acres of open space. Key features include improved bike and pedestrian safety, a mix of affordable and market-rate housing, and new retail and recreational areas. The plan aims to create a shared community space, with sustainable buildings and open space connectivity.
The plan opens up the historically private SRI campus in the heart of Menlo Park's downtown core for shared community use, replacing existing commercial space with new sustainable buildings, adding significant affordable and market-rate housing, new retail and recreation areas, and creating key open space connectors and walking and biking trails.
A key change in the proposal involves a decision to reduce the total commercial space to 1 million square feet, a 28% reduction from original plans.
