STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE Sustainability BACKGROUND In 2018 City staff attended several Redwood Oaks Neighborhood meetings to talk to the residents about ongoing nuisance storm water that ponds in several areas around the neighborhood. About one third of the neighborhood is considered to be substandard, which means it does not include any sidewalk, curb, gutter, or a storm water system. The cost of installing those improvements for the entire unimproved area is prohibitively expensive, and would not be possible without creating a new improvement district. In addressing the nuisance storm water, staff spent some time after a storm event identifying several locations that could be improved to capture the storm water and either infiltrate it or direct it to a storm system. Five locations in total were discussed with the neighborhood, and ultimately the residents decided that Oakwood Drive was the preferred location for the improvements. City staff worked with the design consultant firm, BKF Engineers, Inc., to design the project and saw this project as an opportunity to use green infrastructure improvements as a lower cost alternative to Page 1 of 3 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore 17
