It <br />will result in more land speculation as more land owners request a zoning change to commercial office resulting in killing <br />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 Road <br />interchange, which is already very seriously impacted. In addition, the Harbor View site is in the path of sea level rise. <br />Redwood City should not be 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 4,500 employees, north <br />of 101, will put pressure on providing housing on the North side of 101. This puts pressure on developing in the old <br />t,argill 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 />Merrily Robinson <br />"ReFooWCity,A 94051 <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
