Page 16 of 23 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org o GDAP – Although GDAP is still in development and the foundational concepts driving the Plan require further community discussion and refinement, the Plan’s Vision Framework presented to the community and decisionmakers between October 2025 and January 2026 reinforce the City’s long-term vision of focusing and increasing development growth and intensity in and directly adjacent to Downtown, particularly near the Caltrain Station. o Metropolitan Transportation Commission Transit Oriented Communities Policy – With the support of City Council, the City secured grant funding in late 2025 from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to study and propose minimum intensity and density requirements for both commercial and residential uses within a 0.5 mile of the Redwood City Caltrain station that are consistent with MTC’s Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy. This effort is currently in its early stages and is anticipated to be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in Spring 2027.5 Mobility As noted in the Background section and shown in Figure 5 of this staff report, the bicycle and pedestrian network in and adjacent to the potential GDAP expansion area contains gaps which the City is currently working to bridge via a series of planned projects described in Table 2. In order to ensure biking and walking networks are connected and comfortable options for community members of all ages and abilities, the City will need to continue to reduce network gaps. City staff support identifying resources to close these gaps and potentially adding gap closure projects to the future CIP. A list of possible mobility upgrades for the City Council to consider that could help close connectivity gaps in and adjacent to the potential GDAP expansion area is included in Table 3. These projects, some of which are already identified in the RWC Walk Bike Thrive Plan, could move forward independently from GDAP and, if planned for and resourced by the City (e.g., through amendments to a future Transportation Impact Fee Project List and funded through the CIP process), their design and implementation could begin before the GDAP effort is concluded. 5 If the City does not meet the July 1, 2027, deadline for the MTC TOC policy adoption, then it will not be eligible for funding through the MTC TOC Incentive Program. The MTC TOC Incentive Program provides local jurisdictions with preferential access to $85 million in One Bay Area Grant funds if they reach certain TOC Policy milestones.
