APPENDIX Site 06: Bradford Street/ Redwood Creek Opportunities • Potential for a key recreational corridor/linear park link between the Bay Trail, new development east of HWY 101, and Downtown Redwood City. • Potential for restoration of Redwood Creek leading out to San Francisco Bay and the adjacent wetland area. • Potential for a complete trail on the northern side of Redwood Creek (as stipulated by the North Main Street Precise Plan). • A pedestrian/bicycle trail leading from east of HWY 101 into the downtown along both sides of Redwood Creek could further encourage the redevelopment of adjacent properties while providing an important, multi -modal key link to the Downtown core. Site Summary This site is very different from the others in this study given its larger size, distant location, lack of visibility, and the fact that it has a tidally -influenced creek running through it. That said, this site does provide a great opportunity for environmental restoration, recreation, and connectivity between the Bay Trail, new development east of HWY 101, and the downtown core. For these reasons, the Bradford Street/ Redwood Creek site should be given special consideration through this process. VII SITE ASSESSMENT Opportunities and Constraints Constraints • This site is largely outside of the Downtown Precise Plan Boundary and does not meet the Precise Plan's objective to build a new public park in Downtown Redwood City. • The site is somewhat isolated from the core of Downtown and much of it is adjacent to private properties with limited public access. • The site is tidally influenced and is mostly undevelopable for buildings due to the creek that runs through the center of it. There is limited opportunity for "eyes on the park." Given that much of this site is planned for in the North Main Street Precise Plan, there are different regulations that apply here than apply to Sites 1-5 - most notably the stipulation that all future development adjacent to the creek include a trail along the entirety of the development's frontage. One segment of this trail has already been constructed and three other segments are slated pending the approval of their adjacent projects. 24 SEPTEMBER 2018 143 >y CD N 4
