PROJECT UNDERSTANDING / HISTORY: The City of Redwood City (City) is requesting a proposal for design of a trail enhancement project at Whipple Avenue for a Bay Trail Zink.

The trail will run from the end of Whipple Avenue at the edge of the bay lands and run along the bay lands to Bair Island Road. A portion of the trail has a private high density residential property adjacent to it and further north the property is separated from the trail by a small linear pond. The project has several agencies that will require interaction and project review and the City will lead these coordination efforts. The property is owned by PG &E and the City will provide the coordination with the property owner. The City has attained grant funding and Caltrans is the grant administrator and the City will lead the coordination with Caltrans.
