Why are waterfront improvements an issue for Redwood Shores?
The slopes on the waterways in Redwood Shores were designed and built to maintain stable conditions. New construction (or maintenance and repair of existing improvements) could affect the stability of the slopes in this area. Without a policy in place to guide such work, continued modifications on the waterfront have the potential to create severe adverse impacts on the lagoon bank, water quality, health and safety, and the aesthetic quality of the surrounding community.
