Shores History Collection & Historic Walk

Posted on by

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.

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.

(We may feature these in future editions of The PILOT.)

Thank you to everybody who came out to this event on the 24th! RSCA appreciates all the effort you all put into helping keep our community and environment clean, and encourage those who missed it to pin this August event on the calendar for next year, as well as to look out for similar clean-up and conservation events across San Mateo County to volunteer your time to. 

At the end of each August, your Redwood Shores Community Association has sponsored our Annual Levee Cleanup. To benefit the environment, the community bonds together to help beautify the nearly seven miles (yes, 7 miles!) of levee surrounding the Shores. And we need all the help we can get to cover those seven miles.

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
