We invite you to join a City-led comprehensive planning and environmental review effort related to a proposed redevelopment of the Redwood Life campus. As a key part of this process, the City will engage extensively with the community around an assessment of the impacts and benefits of the proposed project as well as potential tradeoffs.

Crown Castle Application for Wireless Facility

Posted on by

Residents of Redwood Shores may have recently received a letter from the company Crown Castle regarding an application to install a “small wireless facility” on light poles in the neighborhood. A “small wireless facility” is a low-powered, compact device used to provide wireless cellular service.

Naturally, some people may have questions or want clarification on how or if these new wireless facilities could affect their neighborhood.

The Redwood Shores Community Association has requested Crown Castle to meet and address any concerns or questions from the community. A meeting on this subject has been scheduled for the night of April 17th at the Redwood Shores Library.

CROWN CASTLE APPLICATION MEETING WITH RESIDENTS
April 17th, 6:30PM – 7:45PM
Redwood Shores Library

Join us with your questions about this project. RSCA hopes to see you there

Santa Visits the Shores

Posted on by

RSCA welcomes the one and only Santa to Redwood Shores on Sunday, December 10th!

Come greet Santa from 1-3PM at the Sandpiper Multi-Use Room.

Bring your cameras to capture magical moments of your children on Santa’s lap while sharing their requests. Mingle with your neighbors, hum along to holiday tunes, and talk with RSCA board members about current events while waiting your turn to see Santa.

Don’t be late! The line to see Santa can be long, and Santa is a very busy man this time of year! 

(RSCA members will have special priority and other families will be given a number based on their arrival for their place in line, and we will do our best to get everybody through to Santa but there may have to be a cut-off point where we cannot give out any more numbers to see Santa before the event closes.)
