DOWNTOWNRedwood City“Much of the work we’ve done is [public]education… emphasizing that it’s really allabout design, not density.”— Susan Moeller,Redwood City Redevelopment ManagerPlanners in Redwood City are hopingto attract movie patrons and concertgoersfrom all over the Bay Area“We have the potential to be the nighttime entertainmentcapital of the Peninsula,” says Redwood CityRedevelopment Manager Susan Moeller. While othercities plan office and residential development neartransit, Redwood City is building a transit-orienteddestination by leveraging the assets of its lively andhistoric downtown.The city is well on its way to fulfilling this ambitiousvision, as downtown residents and merchantseagerly await the fall 2006 opening of a 20-screencinema complex near the popular Fox and Little FoxTheaters. With these marquee entertainment venues,bars, restaurants and cafes all located within walkingdistance of the Caltrain station, city leaders hope toentice people from throughout the Bay Area to leavetheir cars at home and take the train to celebrate a“night on the town” in Redwood City.Regardless of how they get downtown, people areencouraged to walk from place to place once theyarrive. Broad tree-lined sidewalks, with ample roomfor window shoppers and outdoor diners, line majorretail streets like Broadway and Middlefield Road. Twonew pedestrian plazas and the existing City CenterPlaza — which officials tout as the city’s “outdoorliving rooms” — provide yet more space for publicgathering, outdoor entertainment and civic functions.The strong employment base and growing nightlifehave increased the attractiveness of Redwood City forresidential development. Over 350 new housing unitshave been built near the Caltrain station in recentyears. However, with the rising premium on land, developerscan no longer afford to build new housing, unlessthey are able to build at least eight stories high.Recognizing that the prospect of residential towersmight alarm neighbors, the city embarked on a proactivecampaign to educate and involve residents earlyin the development planning process. Planners hosteda series of neighborhood workshops, employing visualaids to demonstrate that, with good design, higherdensitydevelopment can have a place in downtownRedwood City. 21
