Choices For The Future - RC Saltworks

50/50 Balanced Approach with Public Access OR Continued Industrial Use and Salt Making with No Public Access?

The 2.2 square mile privately owned Redwood City Saltworks site covers 1,433 acres of land and portions of this site have been used for industrial operations for over 100 years. For two years, the DMB Redwood City Saltworks team has requested community feedback to help guide the future plans for this site. The options for the property have evolved into two basic choices.

50/50 Balanced Approach with Public Access

Under this choice, more than 700 acres of land would be dedicated to publicly accessible open space, restored habitat and active recreation with biking and hiking trails along the bayside areas, at no cost to taxpayers.

Continued Industrial Use and Salt Making with No Public Access

The other choice is to continue industrial uses at the site and keep it off limits to the public.

50/50 Balanced Approach

Public Access
Bayside Biking/Hiking Trails
700 Acres of New Open Space
Housing for Working Families
New Sports/Recreation Parks
Road/Transit/Flood Improvements

Continued Industrial Use & Salt Making

No Public Access
No Bayside Access
No New Open Space
No Housing
No Parks
No Improvements

Some people believe that opening up the site for use by the community could provide important new access to the Bay and important benefits to the community. Is this your choice?

The other option is for this privately owned property to continue to be used for industrial purposes - as it is today. Is this your choice?
