Last year closed on a high note with the unanimous approval of the Transit District. The decision amends the Downtown Precise Plan to include the 16-acre district, which adds improved neighborhood bike and pedestrian connections, plans for future Caltrain and transit upgrades and incorporates design standards for the redevelopment of Sequoia Station. As we gear up for important milestones in 2023, the Sequoia Station team is looking forward to continuing our community outreach and entitlement work.

To kick off the new year, we submitted updates to the Sequoia Station project proposal to the city, including additional onsite and offsite civil details in response to the feedback we received from staff following our May 2022 submission. The project resubmittal is the first in a series of steps for the Sequoia Station project team as we prepare to submit a final plan later this year. In the coming months, we will further refine the project plan based on comments from city staff and committees such as the Transportation Advisory Committee, Architectural Advisory Committee, Historic Resources Advisory Committee, and Planning Commission.

Alongside our efforts with the city, we will continue to meet with neighborhood associations and community organizations to ensure Sequoia Station reflects the community’s input. In the coming months, we also expect to start in-person “meet the development team” drop-in hours to say hello and answer project questions and concerns.

We hope to meet and hear from you this year to ensure we can create a shared vision for the future of Redwood City. Here’s to a successful 2023!
