Redwood City moves to close Broadway to vehicles permanently

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.

“The city has found during the temporary street closure that the creation of pedestrian zones has added
to the vitality and vibrancy of downtown Redwood City,” city staff said in a report.
