Many of you have seen the dredging taking place in the main lagoon areas — Redwood City thanks you all for your ongoing patience! Unfortunately, the contractor has come across a significant amount of debris in the lagoon, such as old rebar (metal), pieces of concrete, and hundreds of golf balls, This required him to stop work to remove this debris, which has slowed down the operation. Dredging in the main lagoon area (primarily around Shorebird Island) is now expected to be completed by the end of April.

A second phase of dredging is scheduled to start by early April, in the lagoon between Sandpiper Lagoon Subdivision No. 1 and Bridgeport Subdivision. Work will take place on weekdays only, through the end of April, and the machinery in the lagoon will operate between 8 am and 4:30 pm. Sediment will be loaded into trucks (not every day; only when sufficient amounts have been stockpiled for removal) and hauled out for re-use or disposal. To accomplish this, the outer eastbound lane of Redwood Shores Parkway will be closed to traffic for a segment between Avocet Drive to Egret Lane between 9 am and 2:30 pm daily; access to Waterside Circle and Bay Harbour Drive will be maintained.
