IMPACTS caused by Redwood LIFE 3.3 million square feet massive redevelopment:
Construction (approximately 25 years)
CONSTRUCTION of 15 new buildings will cause years of noise, dust, pollution and heavy construction traffic. Sound of pile drivers will be heard over all of Redwood Shores. Streets will be damaged by heavy trucks. Nearby neighborhoods will lose their right to quiet enjoyment.
Traffic
(See Map)
Redwood LIFE redevelopment forecasts a minimum 7,000 employees. Those employees will commute by cars and buses, which will clog traffic in Redwood Shores and the 101 highway.
There are 3 entrances to the Redwood LIFE campus: Bridge Parkway, Island Drive and Shell Parkway. During commute hours, Redwood LIFE traffic will fill Marine Parkway, Redwood Shores Parkway, Bridge Parkway and Shell Parkway (see map).
Safety Hazard
Redwood LIFE adds more safety hazard to Redwood Shores with an addition of more than 7,000 employees to be evacuated with only two exit roads in case of an earthquake.
