From: Council -Diane Howard To: AL; PublicComment; GRP -City Council Subject: RE: follow-up Date: Monday, April 27, 2020 10:14:25 AM Dear Ms. Yang, Thank you for your email and your very thoughtful comments. As you have likely seen, the City Council will be hearing a staff report presentation at it's meeting tonight on a potential Phase I implementation of a Slow Streets Program. The initial phase could include 11 street segments geographically distributed throughout the community and based on specific criteria such as housing density, communities of concern where access to private and public open space is limited, traffic volumes etc. The streets would not be closed but rather signage would be posted that the public is accessing the street's right of way during the shelter in place order. Emergency vehicle access, access to residences and deliveries would still be permitted. The Cities of San Mateo and Palo Alto are also considering similar measures. I hope you will consider joining us for tonight's Council meeting as we discuss this item. You can stream us live at www. redwood city.org. In the meantime, may you and your family stay healthy and safe. In community spirit, Diane Howard Mayor of Redwood City (650)208-4774 From: AL <ashlee_lim@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 11:13 PM To: PublicComment <publiccomment@redwoodcity.org>; GRP -City Council <council@redwoodcity.org> Subject: follow-up Dear City Council, First and foremost, thank you for all that you are doing in this time of uncertainty and world health crisis. I am writing you today about 2 things that came to my attention as a follow-up to the City Council meeting: 1) I am a resident of Redwood City and my home is located in Redwood Shores. I understand that the City Council had discussed the possibility of closing down Bridge Parkway in Redwood Shores to vehicle traffic. As a homeowner who depends on using Bridge Parkway to get to any of the necessary essential services including groceries, pharmacy, gas stations, etc, I want to let you know how much disruption and confusion this would cause me & my family and my neighborhood as a whole. I am not sure what or who would bring this idea to the table to the City Council but please understand that in our world today with shelter in place order where uncertainty and confusion are the norm, we need less confusion and easier access - not the other way around.
