It will result in more land speculation as more land owners request a zoning change to commercial <br />office resulting in killing the only Port in the region and a loss of economic diversity that sustains our region. <br />The development will significantly worsen traffic congestion on Highway 101, particularly at the Woodside <br />Road interchange, which is already very seriously impacted. In addition, the Harbor View site is in the path of <br />sea level rise. Redwood City should not be approving further development in the flood zone with no plan for <br />how to protect it. <br />n additional concern is the jobs -housing imbalance. Building a massive commercial office, with 4,500 <br />employees, north of 101, will put pressure on providing housing on the North side of 101. This puts pressure <br />on developing in the old Cargill saltponds, a project that has divided the Redwood City Community. <br />Please do not continue forward with this project, which is the wrong project in the wrong place. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Mari Aldridge <br />North Fair Oaks, CA <br />Virus -free. www.avast.com <br />
