Incorporate findings in the Central Redwood City Visioning Initiative and development of the <br />Sequoia Station Transit District Plan; and <br />2. Explore grant funding and support from Caltrain and the San Mateo County Transit District to <br />implement relatively short-term improvements to the Transit Center. <br />STRATEGIC INITIATIVE <br />Transportation <br />BACKGROUND <br />Redwood City's General Plan highlights the importance of quality transit service and providing safe, <br />accessible and multimodal connections to that service. The Circulation Element identified a streetcar <br />network connecting local employment centers and key destinations to downtown Redwood City and the <br />Caltrain Station. The network includes the Broadway and Middlefield corridors because they connect <br />existing and future high-density neighborhoods, activity centers, and the Caltrain Station. The Seaport <br />corridor was selected to connect the proposed ferry and employment centers along Seaport Boulevard <br />and the Port to downtown and the Caltrain Station. <br />Page 1 of 10 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />544 <br />
