Redwood City, CA - The City of Redwood City is inviting interested community members to participate in an open house/information meeting on the Farm Hill Boulevard/Jefferson Avenue Improvement Project. This Project is designed to make the streets safe, comfortable, and accessible for people walking, riding bikes, and driving on sections of these roadways in western Redwood City.

These two open house meetings are a follow-up to a June meeting at which community members provided a great deal of comment and input, resulting in draft designs for the project. This is an opportunity to review and learn about the draft designs, talk with City staff about the proposed road improvements, and comment on the design concepts.

Each of these open houses will have the same content; it is not necessary to attend both. The improvement project is proposed as a pilot project for Farm Hill Boulevard between Jefferson Avenue and the western City limits, and on Jefferson Avenue from Farm Hill to Alameda de las Pulgas.

The City encourages the community to participate in shaping the development of the designs for improvement to these roadways. Subsequent to the community's input at these two open house meetings, staff expects to take a final recommendation to the City Council to consider whether this pilot project is preferred, or if the roadways should remain as they are. If approved, some improvements could be installed this year. The roadway is also scheduled for resurfacing in 2013.
