Itjust doesn't make sense! <br />Deal Council Members, <br />Hello. I'm a Redwood City resident for 5+ years. I live at One Marina, the development on the other side of the <br />highway behind Courtyard by Marriott. I'm reaching out to you today to express my concern about the <br />environmental impact of the 1.2M s.f. Harbor View office project by Jay Paul Company. <br />As you know, even now the Woodside Rd, Veterans Blvd & Highway 101 intersection can't handle existing <br />traffic. I traverse that intersection on a regular basis going to and from my home to 24 Hour Fitness and the US <br />Post Office and I'm regularly caught in traffic congestion. <br />On top of an already bad situation, more traffic will hit the same intersection from Council approved Broadway <br />Plaza project at 1055 Broadway & Woodside Rd that consists of 500+ housing units, 420,000 s.f office and <br />26,000 s.f. of retail. That's a big project as it is and one that got approved despite the expected increase in <br />traffic. <br />Given the current and expected increased traffic from Kaiser Permanente hospital expansion and Broadway <br />Plaza, it just doesn't make sense to add another project that can only exacerbate an already bad traffic situation. <br />Beyond traffic, why are we approving a project on the other side of the highway where you don't have amenities <br />such as restaurants and no public transit? I feel Redwood City is already overdeveloped and I urge Council to <br />not approve entitlements for the Harbor View project. Thank you. <br />Tesh <br />PS. I've already seen Jay Paul Company's dog and pony show about Harbor View extolling all the tax benefits <br />and down playing all the negative impacts of the project. I don't buy it? Council shouldn't buy it. This project <br />just doesn't make sense <br />Tesh Jadav <br />
