Shores History Collection & Historic Walk

Posted on by

Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) has served Shores residents, businesses and visitors for over 50 years.  As our anniversary approaches, we are building a database of historical information to celebrate the uniqueness of our community.

Take the Redwood Shores Historic Walk

To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, RSCA created a Historic Walk that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This self-guided two-mile walk is accessible by foot or bicycle (or car, although not every spot has available parking.)

You can log into the Redwood Shores Historic Walk link for Google Maps on your phone and take the tour with your mobile device. This digital, guided map will take you through each of the nine spots marked as relevant to the history of the Shores. At each point, you will find a short history lesson as well as archival photos which help tell of how Redwood Shores developed. There are also a few “Bonus Views” of spots to explore if you’re feeling like stretching your legs even further.

On select weekends of the year, you can also look for signboards marking these points of interest for Redwood Shores. Nine signboards in total mark the various points on Bridge Parkway, Marine Parkway, Marlin Park, Davit Lane, and Shell Parkway. 

Printed copies of the Redwood Shores Historic Walk are often available at the Redwood Shores Branch Library.

Add Your Story to the History Archive

RSCA also invites residents to contribute to the Redwood Shores History Archive. You can provide historical details or photos about your HOA, or share memories from years spent living, working or visiting Redwood Shores.

(We may feature these in future editions of The PILOT.)

Thank you for your participation and support!

Redwood LIFE Project September Meeting

Posted on by

Proposals for the Redwood LIFE office complex campus in Redwood Shores continue to develop, and the City of Redwood City and the project management team at Longfellow are continuing to gain insight from the community for this project. If you would like to voice your opinions on the project, there is an upcoming opportunity to provide feedback.

Redwood Life Community Workshop
September 5th at 5:30-7:30pm
Redwood Shores Branch Public Library

A number of local community events have previously been held over the course of the proposal project, and this will be the first of these to be able to address results from the recent Community Survey, as well as build off of discussion and feedback of the most prior Community Workshop, which was held on May 15th. Attendees will be able to collaboratively brainstorm about the proposal and proposed alternatives to the Longfellow development project. 

Redwood Shores Levee Cleanup

Posted on by

Thank you to everybody who came out to this event on the 24th! RSCA appreciates all the effort you all put into helping keep our community and environment clean, and encourage those who missed it to pin this August event on the calendar for next year, as well as to look out for similar clean-up and conservation events across San Mateo County to volunteer your time to. 

At the end of each August, your Redwood Shores Community Association has sponsored our Annual Levee Cleanup. To benefit the environment, the community bonds together to help beautify the nearly seven miles (yes, 7 miles!) of levee surrounding the Shores. And we need all the help we can get to cover those seven miles.

Date: Saturday, August 24
Time: 8:00 am until noon
Place: Mariner Park, Redwood Shores, CA 94065

Fuel up breakfast bars and water before starting,

Redwood LIFE Project July Update

Posted on by

Proposals for the Redwood LIFE office complex campus in Redwood Shores continue to develop, and the City of Redwood City and the project management team at Longfellow are continuing to gain insight from the community for this project. If you would like to voice your opinions on the project, there are two opportunities to provide feedback.

The Community Survey for the Redwood Life Precise Plan and EIR has extended its closure date to August 30th. This is the easiest and most direct way to provide feedback online about the project and draft development principles. Simply click the link above and follow the process through to submit your thoughts (in text and in topical checkboxes, whichever you feel most comfortable providing in the anonymous survey form) on issues and benefits of the proposal.

Additionally, an additional Community Workshop has been scheduled for in-person discussion about the project.
