In the news
“They’ve (residents) just been asking for the basics, a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, a sit-down restaurant, you name it. We don’t have that available to us, and Willow Village was that promise. That was going to be the commercial center paired with housing.”
— Wonman Lee, in Palo Alto Daily Post · September 21, 2026
“I want not just my family but all families in Belle Haven to be able to walk on a weekend, for example, to a breakfast place, order a plate of waffles and enjoy their time.”
