LTE: City rightly says ‘no’ to building on the bay
Published in the Palo Alto Daily News
As a resident of Redwood City, I am pleased to see that it is implementing its award-winning and community-driven general plan in a way consistent with the plan's mandates -- making our downtown a higher-density, pedestrian-friendly one that is attractive to new residents, local businesses, and longtime community members. A revitalized downtown with housing near public transport hubs and within existing infrastructure is where Redwood City should continue to focus its efforts. Building out on the salt ponds stands in direct opposition to this and does not represent the community's new vision for responsible growth. Redwood City's message is loud and clear -- any new plan Cargill and DMB might propose for building on the bay will be a nonstarter.
