Let’s Talk Solutions Can ONE project be a catalyst to help solve many existing local problems like parks? The Answer is YEs. Conceptual rendering. Redwood City has a shortage of active park and recreation facilities. The city is below statewide standards for parks, which has forced youth and adult sports teams to compete over these limited fields and facilities. The 50/50 Balanced Plan will reduce the shortage of parks and make Redwood City a leader in parks and recreation lands on the Peninsula. The 50/50 Balanced Plan includes a 60+ acre multiple use sports complex (with more than a dozen new soccer and baseball fields as well as basketball and other facilities) and more than 100 acres of Bayside recreation parks and other neighborhood parks. This expansion of city park and recreation lands “We recently had tryouts and once again we have more kids who want to play than we can accommodate effectively due to the shortage of fields. The city understands the need, but has limited resources. New field space in Redwood City paid for by a private developer would really help with the problem.”—Dan Gibson, Redwood City Resident and Baseball Organizer will be funded by the 50/50 Balanced Plan – with all costs borne by the project. So when groups keep arguing that housing should be built in downtown or along the El Camino Real corridor (which we agree with) where will other important public benefits, like parks, be located? What’s their plan for addressing parks? The Saltworks site, because of its scale, can satisfy this important community need. But don’t take our word for it. See for yourself. Examine the facts. Ask for a thorough evaluation of our proposal and the opportunities – all of the opportunities – presented by the Saltworks site.

Here we go! Summertime in Redwood City can only get better as the July edition of The Spectrum Magazine comes out. We are excited about it. Our cover story is on a community favorite, George Schoenstein. As one of the founders of the annual PAL Blues Festival, this lifelong Redwood City resident and business owner has combined his professionalism and his commitment to the community to present a musical extravaganza while raising much-needed funds for our community’s youth. Contributing writer Nicole Minieri will introduce you to Schoenstein and, we hope, entice you into supporting another great community event. Our business profile this month is on a Redwood City couple who decided late in their careers that ice cream would be smooth sailing. Sequoia High School graduates Ken and DeAndra Axlund started the Queen Bee Ice Cream shop in the newly renovated March Manor Shopping Center at Florence Street and Marsh Road, and the community is glad they did. We will tell you why. In publisher Steve Penna’s column, “As I Was Saying…,” he discusses issues in our community and expresses his views on the controversy surrounding a sexual assault during a field trip by Kennedy School students to Stulsaft Park. Once again this month, we continue to bring you our regular features on senior activities, items of community interest, news briefs, cultural and entertainment events, insurance tips from Hector Flamenco, information from the Redwood City School District and the popular feature “A Minute With.” We want to encourage you, our readers, to support our valuable Spectrum advertisers by using their services when you are out shopping, dining or enjoying yourself in our community with friends and family. Many of them have special offers for you to cut out and present, including discounts on services, food and beverages, so please take the time to look over their ads this month and use their coupons and discounts. And when you visit them, let them know you appreciate their support of our local community publication.
