Letter: 'Scaled-Back' Saltworks Project Will Benefit City
Local business owner and community member Hector Flamenco says he wants the Saltworks project to be part of the solution to many of the city's problems.
I've been trying to keep updated on the Saltworks project and I am eager to see the “scaled-back” plan DMB will offer. DMB is responding to problems facing Redwood City – the lack of parks and trails, floods, and . Redwood City has been waiting for years to have these problems addressed.
The opponents? Have they presented or will they present a solution? No....in fact, they pretty much dismiss the problems we are facing in Redwood City – and certainly behave like it’s not their problem where people will live, how to protect low-income neighborhoods from winter flooding, or how to increase use of transit without the use of tax payer funds.
The Saltworks developers are creating plans to fight urban sprawl – while the opponents are creating a recipe for making that sprawl worse. Protecting the environment with a well balanced plan can be achieved and we should allow the Saltworks project to be part of the solution.
I look forward to see DMB come back with their "scaled-back" project that will benefit present and future Redwood City residents.
