Letter to the Editor: Pete's Harbor Development Project is a Winner

As a long-time Redwood City resident who is active in our community, I’m both hopeful and optimistic that the proposed new residential community at Pete’s Harbor will move forward soon, adding over 400 much needed new homes to Redwood City. These units will range from 450 square-foot studios to 1,400-square-foot homes, meeting differing housing demands across different prices.

My understanding is that the project will use the City’s recycled water for irrigation and toilets, and will be built to accommodate sea level rise. I look forward to the public pathways and believe the small boat launch site and publicly-available marina slips will make this a really nice destination and a great addition to the City.

Additional housing close to the Pacific Shores employers and our exciting Downtown is a real plus, and the construction will generate hundreds of needed jobs.

This project is a winner all-around and I, for one, believe it offers a well thought out, appropriately sized (and placed) vision in terms of housing, our local environmental concerns, and public access needs.
