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.
