(Redwood City Pulse) - An initiative to turn city parking lots into parks is moving forward, with one park set to begin construction around 2025.
Sen. Josh Becker, D-Menlo Park, secured $4.45 million in state funds for the parking lot projects in 2022, which he presented to the Redwood City Council.
The money will go to three major projects approved by the council in 2018.
The three projects include the Downtown Library Park Lot A, Redwood Creek Loop, and the Main Street City Hall parking lot.
“I think you can kind of think of it as three phases,” Redwood City Interim Park Director Derek Wolfgram said. “They’re not necessarily one that has to be totally finished before we get to the other, but based on available time and based on available resources, we’re addressing the three projects in that order.”
