Redwood City & Redwood Shores residents have an opportunity to hear a City staff update on the status of the High Speed Rail (HSR) project, as it relates to Redwood City.
Staff will make an informational update presentation at the December 6th City Council meeting. The meeting begins at 7 pm, taking place at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road. Council meetings are broadcast on cable channels 26 or 27, and streamed live on the City’s website (go to Government/City Council/Meetings – direct link: www.redwoodcity.org/government/council/meetings.html).
This informational report is subsequent to the general HSR community workshops which were held in Redwood City on April 29 and May 11, 2010, and the two additional community meetings held to discuss the potential for a high-speed rail station in Redwood City, which took place on October 13 and November 3, 2010.
At the December 6 Council meeting, staff will provide:
- A Program update, including the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement
- An overview of the active engagement process, including community outreach meetings; Policy Working Group meetings; Technical Working Group meetings; updates to the Chamber of Commerce, Seaport Industrial Association, and Peninsula Freight Rail Users Group; and regional coordination
- A review of the High Speed Rail project’s integration with Redwood City’s New General Plan, including key themes, urban form and land use, circulation, and economic development
- Time for Council Q & A and discussion
No decisions will be made at this meeting – it is purely an informational report to the City Council and the community.
