From: <br />Steven W. Russell <br />To: <br />Council -Diane Howard <br />Subject: <br />Support Housing & Transit in Downtown Transit Area Plan <br />Date: <br />Tuesday, February 2, 2021 11:01:39 AM <br />CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when <br />opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. <br />Dear Mayor Diane Howard, <br />Dear Redwood City City Council, <br />As a Redwood City community member, I am emailing you in support for the Transit District <br />planning process and Sequoia Station proposal with modifications. <br />Sequoia Station is a key piece of Redwood City's Transit District Area Plan. It unlocks <br />transportation improvements, provides market -rate, missing middle, and affordable homes and <br />is vital to Caltrain's future. The Transit District has a lot to balance, and we support the efforts <br />that have been made to advance as much housing on site as possible while continuing to focus <br />on overall long-term assets for our community — housing, transportation, youth, updated retail, <br />sustainability, and bicycle and pedestrian connections. <br />Please focus on two additional tracks through Redwood City, a 4 -track elevated station and <br />grade separations at Chestnut, Main, Broadway, Brewster and Whipple. <br />Together, Redwood City can stay true to the principles of smart growth, equity and create a <br />vibrant community for all! <br />Thank you for your leadership. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steven W. Russell <br />Redwood City, CA 94061 <br />
