I attended last night's City Council meeting, and I appreciate the opportunity to see a <br />presentation of the EIR and hear public comment. I agree with many of the comments from members of the <br />public in opposition to the project. I'm concerned about the impact on traffic, our jobs/housing imbalance, and <br />the economic diversity we could lose by putting office/tech space in a previously industrial zone. <br />Most of all, I'm extremely concerned about the impact that sea level rise will have on any development east of <br />101 in Redwood City. As Alice Kaufman and Carol Cross said, adding more development to what will most <br />certainly be a flood zone in the future is not a good idea. I ask the council to seriously look at any development <br />in this area, but particularly those as large as Harbor View. Allowing such a large development, with so many <br />potential new commuters, in this area would be to simply ignore the plain fact that sea level rise is coming, and <br />coming quickly. <br />Please reject Jay Paul's proposal to change the zoning for this area, and reject the Harbor View project <br />development. <br />Thank you, <br />Laura Brown, Redwood City resident <br />
