Community Conversation About Redwood LIFE Site
Development plans for the Redwood LIFE campus have been a topic of local discussion for some time now. Those who would like to know more about the proposed plans for the Redwood Life development are invited to community-led conversation, hosted by RSCA and led by members of our own Redwood Shores community.
Neighbors and Locals Talk about Biolabs in Your Backyard:
Understanding the Redwood Life Project
Sunday, October 13 @ 12:30 PM
Redwood Shores Branch Library
Additionally, a community-led meeting will be held on the following Sunday, October 13th. This will provide a chance to follow up on topics which may have come into discussion during the tour. All residents are invited, regardless of attending the tour.
We also appreciate everybody who came out on Oct 6th (despite the incredible heat!) to attend our Neighborhood Tour & Talk event. The best way to understand the scope of this project has proven to be to visit the site first-hand. This guided trip gave attendees a detailed view of the campus as it is today, and highlighted areas where plans propose to expand or redevelop the property. We hope to host this event again, so please reach out if you are interested in a future opportunity to take this tour.
Meet the Candidates Forum 2024
The Redwood Shores Community Association cordially invites you to join us for our annual Meet the Candidates Forum on Wednesday, October 9, from 6:30 – 7:30 PM at the Redwood Shores Library, 399 Marine Pkwy, Redwood City, CA 94065.
Meet the Candidates Forum
Wednesday, October 9th, 6:30 – 7:30pm
Redwood Shores Branch Library
The Candidate Forum provides candidates for City Council, Belmont Redwood Shores School District, and Board of Supervisors an opportunity to introduce themselves to Redwood Shores voters and discuss issues of concern to the Redwood Shores community. Each candidate will spend a few minutes introducing themselves, along with their priorities and goals. Each candidate will be provided a table where they can set out information and community members can come over to speak with them one-on-one.
Neighborhood-Led Tour of Planned Redwood LIFE Site
Development plans for the Redwood LIFE campus have been a topic of local discussion for some time now. While many in the Shores have begun to form opinions of the project as a concept, it is difficult to have a clear picture of exactly what has been proposed just from pictures and conversations. The best way to understand the scope of this project is, we believe, to visit the site first-hand.
Those who would like to know more about the proposed plans for the Redwood Life development are invited to a tour of the Redwood LIFE campus, hosted by RSCA and led by members of our own Redwood Shores community.
Neighborhood Tour & Talk of Redwood LIFE Development Site
Sunday, October 6 @ 1:00 PM
Shores History Collection & Historic Walk
Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) has served Shores residents, businesses and visitors for over 50 years. As our anniversary approaches, we are building a database of historical information to celebrate the uniqueness of our community.
Take the Redwood Shores Historic Walk
To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, RSCA created a Historic Walk that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This self-guided two-mile walk is accessible by foot or bicycle (or car, although not every spot has available parking.)
You can log into the Redwood Shores Historic Walk link for Google Maps on your phone and take the tour with your mobile device. This digital, guided map will take you through each of the nine spots marked as relevant to the history of the Shores. At each point, you will find a short history lesson as well as archival photos which help tell of how Redwood Shores developed. There are also a few “Bonus Views” of spots to explore if you’re feeling like stretching your legs even further.
View the Redwood Shores Historic Walk in a larger map
On select weekends of the year, you can also look for signboards marking these points of interest for Redwood Shores. Nine signboards in total mark the various points on Bridge Parkway, Marine Parkway, Marlin Park, Davit Lane, and Shell Parkway.
Printed copies of the Redwood Shores Historic Walk are often available at the Redwood Shores Branch Library.
Add Your Story to the History Archive
RSCA also invites residents to contribute to the Redwood Shores History Archive. You can provide historical details or photos about your HOA, or share memories from years spent living, working or visiting Redwood Shores.
Click here to submit historical information and photos.
(We may feature these in future editions of The PILOT.)
Thank you for your participation and support!

Redwood LIFE Project September Meeting
Proposals for the Redwood LIFE office complex campus in Redwood Shores continue to develop, and the City of Redwood City and the project management team at Longfellow are continuing to gain insight from the community for this project. If you would like to voice your opinions on the project, there is an upcoming opportunity to provide feedback.
Redwood Life Community Workshop
September 5th at 5:30-7:30pm
Redwood Shores Branch Public Library
A number of local community events have previously been held over the course of the proposal project, and this will be the first of these to be able to address results from the recent Community Survey, as well as build off of discussion and feedback of the most prior Community Workshop, which was held on May 15th. Attendees will be able to collaboratively brainstorm about the proposal and proposed alternatives to the Longfellow development project.
