7 <br />Redwood Creek <br />o Strong support for improving Redwood Creek as an amenity. Could be crown jewel of the <br />plan area. Include creek-facing dining, retail, entertainment. <br />o Interest in potential creek daylighting or at least leaving the opportunity open for the <br />future by restricting future development where daylighting opportunity exists. <br />o Make sure any daylighting opportunities result in usable open space—not like LA River. <br />Support for concept of a linear park north of Veterans Blvd in Innovation/Incubation district <br />Encourage exploration of opportunities for Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS), <br />particularly on rooftops. <br />Climate Resilience <br />Concern about placing too much responsibility on developers to address climate reliance issues. <br />Consider how costs of flood mitigation measures may impact ability to redevelop the <br />Innovation/Incubation district. <br />Public Comment <br />Glen Babbit, HRAC Vice Chair: Only a windshield survey has been done to analyze integrity of <br />Mezesville properties. Recommend doing a more in depth study before we decide on delisting of <br />the Mezesville Historic District (in light of the loss of historic integrity of some contributing <br />structures). Suggested to look first at other ways to address whether/how properties are losing <br />integrity before delisting. Overall, more study is needed. <br />Parks, Recreation & Community Services Commission Study Session <br />The Parks Commission held a study session on October 22, 2025.

Balanced with climate resilience infrastructure. <br />Redwood City needs more “third spaces” for all residents. <br />Climate Resilience <br /> Incorporating green infrastructure in parks is aligned with Parks Commission work plan. They are <br />auditing parks for these elements. <br />Adding tree canopy for climate resilience and shade is appreciated and a high priority. <br /> <br />Youth & Seniors <br />Want to see more amenities for kids and seniors. <br />o Recommend presenting Frameworks at the Senior Center <br />o And continuing to engage Youth and Teen Advisory Boards <br /> <br />Mobility <br />Traffic surrounding parks is a big community topic; consider traffic calming measures <br />12.A. - Page 67 of 69 <br />286
