SITE 06: REDWOOD CREEK/BRADFORD STREET <br />Opportunities and Constraints <br />Opportunities <br />• Potential for a key recreational corridor/linear park link between <br />the Bay Trail, new development east of HWY 101, and Downtown <br />Redwood City <br />• Potential for restoration of Redwood Creek leading out to San <br />Francisco Bay and the adjacent wetland area <br />• Potential for a complete trail on the northern side of Redwood Creek <br />(as stipulated by the North Main Street Precise Plan) <br />• A pedestrian/bicycle trail leading from east of HWY 101 into <br />Downtown along both sides of Redwood Creek could further <br />encourage the redevelopment of adjacent properties while providing <br />an important, multi -modal key link to the Downtown core <br />Site Summary <br />This site is very different from the others in this study given its <br />larger size, proximity to the Downtown Core, lack of visibility, and <br />the fact that it has a tidally -influenced creek running through it. That <br />said, this site does provide a great opportunity for environmental <br />restoration, recreation, and connectivity between the Bay Trail, <br />new development east of HWY 101, and the Downtown core. For <br />these reasons, the Bradford Street/ Redwood Creek site has been <br />and should continue to be given special consideration through this <br />process. <br />24 SEPTEMBER 2018 <br />V PROPOSED NEAR-TERM SITES <br />Constraints <br />• The site comes into contact with major arterial streets and Highway <br />101, creating complications regarding recreation path routing <br />• The site is somewhat isolated from the Downtown core and much of it <br />is adjacent to private properties with limited public access <br />• There is limited opportunity for "eyes on the park" <br />• Development of a trail within the boundaries of the site requires <br />extensive review from several government agencies and will likely <br />require environmental mitigations <br />Given that much of this site is planned for in the North Main Street <br />Precise Plan, there are different regulations that apply here than <br />apply to Sites 01-05 - most notably the stipulation that all future <br />development adjacent to the creek include a trail along the entirety <br />of the development's frontage. One segment has been constructed, <br />one segment has planning entitlements and is pending project <br />approvals for construction, and the remaining segments are subject <br />to future development. <br />0 <br />
