From: <br />Vicki McDowell <br />To: <br />GRP -City Council <br />Subject: <br />Potential cannabis stores in Redwood City <br />Date: <br />Sunday, October 25, 2020 12:10:05 PM <br />Sent from Outlook <br />This email is in response to the news article regarding the cannabis stores. Although I have no <br />major objections to the opening of the highly regulated stores in general, I do have a major <br />objection to one of them being in the Woodside Plaza. <br />1. It is the closest shopping area to thousands of people that live in the Woodside Plaza <br />and surrounding areas. This plaza area sees a tremendous amount of car and foot traffic. <br />2. We have an elementary school and middle school in very close proximity. <br />3. We have had an uptick of vandalism and break-ins in the area. <br />4. Is there really any reason why Redwood City would want or need up to 6 pot shops? <br />Doesn't say much about our city. <br />I hope that you have a more thoughtful discussion about what is best for Redwood City, and in <br />particular the Woodside Plaza before finalizing your decision which will have a long-lasting <br />impact on our residential neighborhood. <br />Thank you for serving our city in a, hopefully, thoughtful way. <br />Kevin & Vicki McDowell <br />Redwood City, CA <br />
