Supporting Local Retail Start-up Opportunities

Sequoia Station is set to utilize a section of its updated available retail space to support small, local, start-up businesses. Wide sidewalks, street greenery, and furnishings will activate incubator and entrepreneur spaces lining the right side of Franklin St. This focus on early-stage businesses supports Lowe and Eden Housing’s goal to foster an all-inclusive and equitable small business community, and reflect the diversity of Redwood City.

Convenient Underground Parking

For those who choose to drive to Sequoia Station, there will be plenty of safe and convenient underground parking. Multiple elevators will provide access from the parking structure, including directly into the new Safeway and also at Hamilton Drive adjacent to CVS and the Plaza shop spaces. The vehicular entrances to the underground parking are on the perimeter of the site, enabling the heart of the project to emphasize bikes and pedestrians and getting cars quickly off the streets.

Pedestrian and Bike Improvements

Sequoia Station’s reimagination focuses on the creation of safe, walkable, and bikeable streets. For example, the project’s proposed primary retail corridors of Franklin and Hamilton feature narrow lanes, slow speeds, street trees, and bike parking to make the streets as enjoyable as possible for those on foot. The entire site will see improvements to bike lanes and sidewalks that, along with both day and night activation at the street level, will achieve safe, walkable streets.
