integration of the refuge into Redwood City. Redwood City believes that the site
<br /> should be served by two parking lots: one shown on the NWRS plan on Redwood
<br /> Creek, the other at a location near the San Carlos Airport. Both lots should be
<br /> planned for school buses, have restroom facilities and informational material in
<br /> covered kiosks.
<br /> The City recommends against a long unimproved 0.5-mile trail that lies between a
<br /> residential neighborhood complex and direcdy adjacent to unprotected critical habitat
<br /> outside of the refuge boundaries. Failure to provide adequate control and
<br /> supervision of this area over the next decades may result in invasive intrusions into
<br /> the peace and quiet of nearby residents. Encouraging access in this area will leave
<br /> unprotected critical habitat for the salt marsh harvest mouse. An additional 1-mile
<br /> walk may provide a deterrent to handicapped persons and sensitive sub-populations
<br /> desiring to share in a refuge experience.
<br /> FWS reports that one of the largest threats to endangered clapper rails and
<br /> harvest mice, after habitat loss, is predation by domestic dogs and cats and wild fox
<br /> and raccoon. Given this information, Redwood City must recommend against a
<br /> Whipple Street entrance to the refuge.
