Site 06: Bradford Street/ Redwood Creek Top: On the East side of Convention Way Bridge, looking West Bottom: Looking North toward the Convention Way Bridge 24 SEPTEMBER 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Finally, the report concludes by providing a consolidated list of recommendations and next steps for Council to consider. The recommendations outlined in the conclusion include a variety of opportunities to create a more connected, vibrant and environmentally focused Downtown core for the residents of Redwood City to enjoy year-round. ao This report lays out the opportunity and constraints for each of the three sites to be converted into public spaces and provides alternatives for future park development within these spaces. v aD For both sites 02 and 03, recommendations and alternate park cD program concepts have been prepared to demonstrate the wide —1 array of possibilities for site programming, while also adhering to the list of preferred amenities identified during the community outreach effort. During the March 12, 2018 City Council meeting, Council requested that some investigation be made into the possibility of daylighting Redwood Creek through Site 03, and the possibility of building a park on a raised podium over the existing Main Street Lot. After analyzing these concepts and calculating rough cost estimates with a Civil Engineer, it was determined that those ideas are cost prohibitive and therefore they were not considered any further as part of this study. For Site 06, the report identifies the preferred location for a future Redwood Creek Trail and provides guidelines for trail development. Due to the complexity of the development of a trail at this location, three alternatives are proposed for the development of the trail along the East Bank of Redwood Creek. Finally, the report concludes by providing a consolidated list of recommendations and next steps for Council to consider. The recommendations outlined in the conclusion include a variety of opportunities to create a more connected, vibrant and environmentally focused Downtown core for the residents of Redwood City to enjoy year-round.
