The following task list provides our recommendations as to how the City can proceed most effectively toward the achieving the City's goals for Downtown Redwood City, via the development and creation of a Downtown Precise Plan. The tasks are listed in the chronological order that we expect to proceed. It is important to note, however, that since the task list is prepared prior to consultant field investigation or community discussion, it is entirely possible that either the nature of the problem or the priorities of the community will require both chronological adjustments as well as task substitutions to refine the effectiveness of the services performed. Once the final task list - and along with it the overall approach to the problem - is approved by the City, the most basic purpose of this task list is to provide both a preview of the likely type and order of work to be performed as well as a contractual basis for a certain number of meetings, drawings, workshops and tasks to be delivered for the corresponding project budget. PHASE I: UNDERSTANDING THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN - DEFINING OPPORTUNITES AND CONSTRAINTS Purpose of this Phase: In this phase, the consultant team will develop an understanding of the existing conditions in the Downtown, and the forces of development and change that it faces today. Efforts will build upon the policy direction and implementation suggestions established in the Downtown Area Plan, to develop the base necessary to guide future growth and change in the Downtown.
