Some excerpts:
In an attached story from IDG, the author includes a screenshot of a YouTube listing of videos taken at Bayfront Park. One of the titles mentions an altitude of over 3,000ft.
If you are interested in this issue, you may want to attend the meeting.

Some excerpts:
In April 2015, The Menlo Park Police Department began to regularly check drone activity at the Park. Officers on the assignment did not witness any users violating the FAA guidelines. When users were approached, they all seemed aware of the rules and nearby airports.
The FAA safety guidelines are recommendations. The 5 mile regulation under development by the FAA would eliminate drones within the majority of Menlo Park city limits, but it is not clear when the new regulations will be established (Attachment E). In order to address this pressing safety issue, staff recommends the proactive ban of drones at Bedwell-Bayfront Park. The ban will not impact flying kites at the Park. The ban will apply to unpiloted, remote controlled, aerial vehicles.

**** I would've shown up to this meet up. I just went there did a live feed and forgot to hit the record button. So I had no footage on my sd card.
Anyway, who flew to Alcatraz or the bay bridge?

Um, you realize BayLands Park is in TWO NO FLY ZONES correct? It's within 5 miles of Moffett Field, and San Jose Airport. Not trying to be a "debbie downer" here. But I think a better/safer location should be considered.
