It is the only Port in the region and will lose a lot of economic and usage <br />diversity that sustains our region. <br />The development will worsen traffic congestion on Highway 101, particularly at the Woodside Road <br />interchange. The Harbor View site is also in the path of sea level rise. Redwood City should not be <br />approving further development in the flood zone with no plan for how to protect it. <br />An additional concern is the jobs -housing imbalance. Building a massive commercial office, with <br />4,500 employees, north of 101, will put pressure on providing housing on the North side of 101. The <br />main part of town is getting too large already with multiple offices and housing that take away the <br />;harm of the business district. <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 />Carol Taras <br />San Mateo, CA <br />Sierra Club Member <br />
