CITIZEN
VIEWPOINT:
"Deceptive
politicians advocating the many benefits of overdevelopment
can mean only one thing: They must be on the take."

Redwood City Residents
Are Saying:
"Stop Skyscraper Shores!"
(Marina
Shores Village)
It's
about changing our zoning laws to allow up seventeen skyscrapers
on the bayfront (up
to 240-ft) and benefit the developer who has paid nearly $1 million
to fight our grassroots truth campaign.
Vote
NO on increased traffic!
Over
14,000 additional daily car trips will bring traffic to a halt along
Highway 101, and impact Whipple Ave., Woodside Rd. and Veteran's
Blvd...
Vote
NO on
squandering our water supply!
The
City cannot even guarantee that enough water will be available for
the project; Redwood City is already 10% over its water allotment...
Vote
NO on
sacrificing the character of the community!
Seventeen
skyscrapers up to 240 feet tall (current zoning allows 75 feet)
will destroy the nature of the waterfront and invaluable bay views...
Vote
NO on
wildlife mortality!
Building
high-rises adjacent to Bair Island Wildlife Refuge will cause mortality
to untold numbers of migrating and resident birds due to building
strikes...
The
Problem is the Scale
The extreme density and building height of this project will cause
a record-setting 23 unsolvable environmental problems for our city
and the peninsula. A better way is to build housing that complies
with current zoning and doesn't overwhelm our bayfront and already
crowded freeway and streets.
This
project uses up our precious water supply for 1,737 high-income
luxury condominiums built on an isolated peninsula. A better way
is to implement our city's Housing Element which calls for affordable
family housing near downtown and public transit. A
NO vote on Measure Q is a vote for responsible growth.
