February 8, 2021 <br />Dear Mayor Howard and City Council Members, <br />My name is Jenner Barrera, I live at and I am writing to <br />ask that you move the Redwood City Transit District Plan forward. As I am a <br />resident of Redwood City, I believe that this Transit District Plan will bring much <br />needed improvements. Improvements that will provide easier access to transit, <br />walkable neighborhoods that integrate jobs with retail and grade separations that <br />will allow for residence and their families to travel safely across town, not to <br />mention the affordable housing that the redevelopment of Sequoia Station will <br />bring. This Plan is the SPARK that Redwood City needs to help reinvigorate <br />downtown, to bring it to life! It will help connect us, from the South Bay on up into <br />San Francisco. On the other hand, as an apprentice carpenter of Lu 217 here in San <br />Mateo County, I again ask that you move this Plan forward, as this District Plan will <br />create hundreds of good paying Union jobs. Jobs that can help me and other <br />apprentices continue our apprenticeships, here, locally! The new stops will also <br />make it possible to get to work if it is outside of Redwood City, without having to <br />drive a car. Helping lower emissions here in the Bay Area. The new Transit District <br />plan is something that Redwood City needs and I hope you move it forward. <br />Thank you. <br />Jenner Barrera <br />
