Redwood Life: Our Concerns
The proposed "Redwood Life" development threatens to fundamentally change our community. Here are our key concerns:
Traffic Impact
Significant increase in daily vehicle trips on already congested roads. Our streets weren't designed for this volume.
Construction Impacts
Planned for 7-8 phases over 25+ years. Decades of noise, dust, traffic disruption, and construction equipment impacting daily life and property values.
Environmental Impact
Site directly adjacent to Belmont Slough, a designated Priority Conservation Area. Threatens wildlife habitat and sensitive wetland ecosystem.
Community Character
The scale and density of this project is inconsistent with our neighborhood's established character.
Safety Concerns
Emergency response times, pedestrian safety, and evacuation routes are all at risk.
Process Transparency
Community input has been limited. We deserve a seat at the table in decisions affecting our homes.
