Let’s Talk Solutions<br />
Can ONE project be a catalyst to help solve many existing local problems like PARKS?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Answer is YES.<br />
Conceptual rendering.<br />
<strong>Redwood</strong> City has a shortage of active park<br />
and recreation facilities. <strong>The</strong> city is below statewide<br />
standards for parks, which has forced youth and<br />
adult sports teams to compete over these limited<br />
fields and facilities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 50/50 Balanced<br />
Plan will reduce the<br />
shortage of parks and make<br />
<strong>Redwood</strong> City a leader in<br />
parks and recreation lands<br />
on the Peninsula.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 50/50 Balanced<br />
Plan includes more than<br />
50 acres of sports fields,<br />
featuring more than a<br />
dozen new soccer/football,<br />
baseball and softball fields and more than 240 acres<br />
of parks.<br />
This expansion of city park and recreation lands<br />
“We recently had tryouts and once again we<br />
have more kids who want to play than we can<br />
accommodate effectively due to the shortage<br />
of fields. <strong>The</strong> city understands the need, but has<br />
limited resources. New field space in <strong>Redwood</strong><br />
City paid for by a private developer would<br />
really help with the problem.”—Dan Gibson,<br />
<strong>Redwood</strong> City Resident and Baseball Organizer<br />
will be funded by the 50/50 Balanced Plan – with all<br />
costs borne by the project.<br />
So when groups keep arguing that housing<br />
should be built in downtown or along the El Camino<br />
Real corridor (which we<br />
agree with) where will<br />
other important public<br />
benefits, like parks, be<br />
located? What’s their plan<br />
for addressing parks?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Saltworks site,<br />
because of its scale, can<br />
satisfy this important<br />
community need.<br />
But don’t take our<br />
word for it. See for<br />
yourself. Examine the facts. Ask for a thorough<br />
evaluation of our proposal and the opportunities – all<br />
of the opportunities – presented by the Saltworks site.<br />
