Feedback on the Proposed Alternatives

On February 12, 2025, as part of the Redwood Life Precise Plan and EIR process, the City hosted an in-person community workshop focused on a review of potential alternatives to the proposed Longfellow development project. These alternatives consider building design and site plan changes, as well as potential park, open space, and amenities configurations. The primary purpose of the workshop was to share these alternatives, explain how they seek to address community input, and receive feedback from the public. An online survey was also available through March 7, 2025 to collect input through virtual activities that mirrored the in person workshop.
