Redwood City is one step closer to closing Broadway in downtown to vehicles permanently. Although the City Council unanimously voted to push the final vote until May 6, the delay was only to hear additional public comments on establishing the permanent pedestrian mall downtown between Jefferson Avenue and Main Street.

Redwood City is one of several cities on the Peninsula that has established pedestrian malls and parklets in downtown areas, a trend that began during the COVID-19 pandemic when indoor dining was restricted. The project is estimated to cost $450,000. The money would be used to implement improvements for the closure including guard rails, loading zones, minor re-striping and signal improvements. At least $150,000 would be sourced from the city’s budget while $150,000 would be sourced from the Redwood City Improvement Association, a local nonprofit.“It’s such a vibrant place downtown that allows businesses to thrive and people to connect in downtown Redwood City.
