In addition, the Committee has utilized the services of a public relations agency to promote the many projects, accomplishments and attractions of the district. Parking Management The Parking Management Committee funded a report providing recommendations on the implementation and system elements for a parking guidance system in Downtown Redwood City, which can include electronic message signs indicating where parking is available. That report was completed in 2019. The Committee also funded the development of a request for proposals to implement a parking guidance system which was released in February 2020. The project is managed by the City. The City received six proposals and is in the selection process to identify a vendor. It is anticipated construction will start by the end of 2020.

The proposed agreement term is three years, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional five years to December 31, 2029. FISCAL IMPACT The City of Redwood City participates in RCIA as a property owner within the district. The 2018-2019 yearly assessment for City -owned properties downtown is $66,182.
