RWC Farm Hill and Complete Streets Committee passed!

Last night, the Redwood City City Council unanimously passed both the formation of a Complete Streets Committee, which will replace the informal RWC Working Group that we've organized, and the pilot lane reduction on Farm Hill boulevard from four to three lanes to calm traffic and encourage lower speeds on that road.The Complete Streets Advisory Committee will be made up of at least 5 members who live or work in RWC with no more than one member from RWC's sphere of influence (including Emerald Hills and North Fair Oaks). The Committee will advise on project selection for grant applications, design and construction of bicycle/pedestrian facilities, and projects for staff to consider. They will also provide annual benchmark reports to Council.The supporters for the Farm Hill traffic calming project were many, including a 10 year old who has to cross Farm Hill to get to her school bus, and many other residents on or near Farm Hill who have witnessed myriad car accidents due to speeding.Thank you to all of our members who came out to speak or wrote emails or letters for one or both of these measures! It definitely made a difference!Take a moment to write a thank you note to City Council: council@redwoodcity.org
