All members of the Redwood City community are invited to attend! The workshop will include a presentation and the opportunity for community members to review and provide input on:

• The GDAP Draft Plan Framework covering the project's original plan boundary
• The existing conditions analysis and Vision Framework for the boundary expansion area

Additionally, community members can learn more and provide feedback on other related planning efforts (e.g., Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transit-Oriented Communities Policy and Senate Bill 79 implementation).

Event details will be updated on the Events page and posted on the City's Instagram and other social media pages. To receive email notifications about events and project updates, please sign up for "Greater Downtown Area Plan" notifications here.

The City Council formally approved an expansion of the GDAP planning area boundary to include portions of the Friendly Acres and Redwood Village neighborhoods in the project scope of work. For more details, visit the Updates page.

The public meeting video for the consideration of the expansion area can be found here and the staff report can be found here (under Item 9.A). The public meeting video for the approval of the amended project scope and budget can be found here and the staff report can be found here (under Item 7.G).

The project team presented the Plan's draft Vision Framework to City Council on January 12, 2026. See a Summary of City Council’s feedback as well as other materials here. 

Council supported the overall framework and discussed the following topics: districts, land use, economic development, parks and open space, climate resilience, mobility, historic preservation, and community engagement. The project team will work on developing the framework in more detail and will share the work at community events planned for Autumn 2026.
