I take my life in my hands every time I cross Jefferson Ave at St. Francis Street on my way to Red…Read More Morton Park. The crosswalk is huge and brightly painted in yellow but the cars just ignore it. I have said I'd be a decoy for the police at that intersection but they do not seem interested. RWC could make a lot of money from tickets there, that's for sure!

I'm happy to hear that the farmers market at Canada is back. It was great to have and I thought it…Read More was still gone, (according to their Facebook and webpage).

Why would they cancel it rather than find another location? Woodside Plaza would be a popular…Read More locale....the plaza itself has a couple lesser used areas of the parking lot. If that doesn't work perhaps a block or two of Anamore St or Woodside Drive would be close enough to Woodside Plaza for a walkable, bike-able solution for residents in this part of town?

The Tuesday night farmers market is only the newest in Redwood City. The long time standing…Read More Kiwana's hosted Saturday morning farmers market is about to start once again and there are smaller ones outside of Kaiser and across from the City Hall buildings during the week. Redwood Shores also has one, I believe at the library.
I don't see the temporary halt to the Tuesday night farmers market as a huge set back for the downtown or abandonment of what me and my neighbors have been promised in the past regarding the downtown and city plan; especially considering the construction that is going on will only add to the downtown draw upon completion and facilitate the return of the Tuesday night farmers market.

Claire, I hope you're right. The developments in or close to downtown are encouraging, but…Read More Saltworks, One Marina, and the plans for Pete's Harbor seem to me to be going in the wrong direction. Transit-oriented development is a good thing, but what's missing is the word "public" before "transit." I wonder how many people who live or will live off Bair Island Road at One Marina or the planned development at Pete's will actually take Samtrans or Caltrain to commute to work when they are right next to the Whipple on-ramp to 101 (and the same with any development at Saltworks, which would be right down the street from the Woodside on-ramp)? Particularly when these are market rate units and it's the folks in more affordable units who tend to be the ones who need/use public transit the most.
Note that in response to the new jail (on the toxic site at Chemical Way), One Marina, and the plans at Pete's Harbor, the city is looking to increase road capacity via the Blomquist extension and possibly through the upland portion of Docktown Marina to service these new developments and projects. Increasing road capacity to service all the unsistainable projects happening in 94063 when, as this report shows, 94063 already has way too many cars on the road, is worrying.
Again, the downtown development is encouraging, but the rest leaves a LOT to be desired.

Seafoamsue, while we do have a lot of particulate by the freeway, I'm sure this is true of every…Read More other zip code in it's path. Redwood City actually taking the lead in building mixed use housing/retail along transit corridors which makes it easier for residents to use the train, bus, bike & walk. I am not in favor of the development of the Saltworks, for many reason but am hopeful that the housing developments on Veterans, El Camino & other locations will be the stimulus to increase the number of bus routes that will be useful to all residents.

Why isn't this front page news? This study shows much more than "which communities are most…Read More burdened by pollution and eligible for funding". It takes time to read thru all the data - a good reporter could definitely add value of they read the material themselves and at least shared an overview to entice the readers to look farther.
Looking at the data for Redwood City several things jump out about the 94063 zip code ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that the city is happy to perpetuate more building without addressing the environmental impact. Part of the reason 94063 comes in so low is due to traffic congestion, Diesel particulate, Hazardous waste, groundwater threats, Number of cleanup sites. Funny how the city seems to think using old environmental impact reports to push through unwanted developments will actually work for them because the area has a high poverty rate - best way to solve it? seems the current strategy is to get rid of the people and continue to kiss the A$$ of the developers!
