Community Meeting on AT&T Wireless Service Plans in Redwood Shores

July 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m

(AT&T’s services program has passed this message along through RSCA about developments of new services and facilities in Redwood Shores. This construction proposal has been discussed in The PILOT and is a matter RSCA encourages the Redwood Shores community to attend this July 23rd meeting if you are interested in or concerned with the AT&T service proposal. This will be residents’ opportunity to ask questions and get answers about these plans.)

What:

AT&T is pleased to announce plans to build a wireless facility right here in Redwood Shores! Our engineers have identified a significant coverage gap in your neighborhood, and Redwood Shores residents have expressed a need for enhanced wireless data and voice services. This cell site will enable residents to enjoy a more robust wireless network, one that will better connect them to the people and information they want, whenever and wherever they are. Wireless connectivity is critical to personal and professional relationships. It is also critical in emergencies: approximately 70% of 911 calls are made with wireless phones.

Where:

AT&T Mobility seeks to improve wireless service from Bridge Parkway on the South side of Redwood Shores, Marin Parkway on the West, Shearwater Parkway on the North, and the coastline waters on Waterside Circle. The proposed cell site will also provide enhanced indoor coverage to the Redwood Shores community.

How:

The proposed cell site will resemble a pine tree, and will be designed to blend into the existing landscape of trees. It will be 70 feet tall, 22 feet wide at its widest point, and will contain 12 antennas. These antennas will provide residents with 4G LTE service, allowing faster downloads of data, more reliable voice calls and more dependable access to emergency services.

Community Meeting:

In order to learn more about the proposed cell site and how it will impact your life and immediate neighborhood, please attend a Community Meeting led by AT&T representatives. The meeting will be held on July 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at the following location:

Redwood Shores Branch Library

Community Room

399 Marine Parkway

Redwood Shores, CA 94065

AT&T encourages you to attend the meeting to learn more about this exciting innovation, and to find out how you can help make these plans a reality. Please direct questions to Shiyama Clunie, Area Manager, AT&T External Affairs, at .

Eggstravaganza

Eggstravaganza 2013

It’s time for the RSCA’s annual Eggstravaganza, held every year at Marlin Park in the center of Redwood Shores. Bring all your children and a basket for goodies to the park for the big Egg Hunt, where toddlers and young kids can seek out goodies hidden in the grass and playground. Also, the Easter Bunny will be there to lead off the Egg Hunt and later to pose for pictures with the boys and girls, so be sure to take along a camera as well!

The festivities begin at 1:00 PM on Sunday, March 23rd at Marlin Park here in Redwood Shores.

Be sure to arrive early so that your child can line up in the right age category — the eggs disappear quickly, and the whistle begins exactly at 1:00, so be on time!

 

We’ll have treats for the kids, so please bring a small basket. (Please limit your children to 6 eggs each so that everyone can share.) Look for the GOLDEN EGGS for a special prize!

Our local RWC Police will also be available to provide voluntary FINGERPRINTING for children of parents who might wish to have this record for identification. Because a child’s appearance can change in a short time, fingerprinting can be the best way to identify a lost child. And parents, don’t forget your camera for photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny.

The Eggstravaganza is run by RSCA, and is a great place to sign up with our organization if you have not yet had a chance to do so. Please join in in making great events like this possible in Redwood Shores!
