Thank you! <br />Subject: Support for Priority Conservation Area Designation in Redwood City <br />Dear Mayor and Members of the Redwood City City Council, <br />My name is Gita Dev, and I am writing on behalf of the Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter and <br />the Sierra Club Bay Alive Campaign. <br />We support the proposal to nominate the identified areas for designation as Priority <br />Conservation Areas (PCAs) under the recently revised ABAG PCA program. <br />Given the significant vulnerability of Redwood City’s shoreline to sea level rise, we believe <br />that designating Redwood Shores and the Bair Island/Westpoint Slough areas as PCAs will <br />provide critical support for climate adaptation efforts and increase eligibility for related <br />funding opportunities. <br />Additionally, we support the inclusion of Greater Downtown and Southeast Redwood City in <br />this nomination. These areas would greatly benefit from climate resilience measures such as <br />urban greening, expanded access to open space, and recreational amenities. These actions are <br />essential for promoting long-term sustainability and advancing equity in our community. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gita Dev <br />Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter <br />& Bay Alive Campaign <br />-- Gita DevSustainable Land Use CommitteeSierra Club Loma Prieta415.722.3355
