Committee for Green Foothills would like to commend Redwood City Councilmember Ian Bain for his recent op-ed, where he took a stand against Cargill’s plan to develop the salt ponds. In the San Mateo Journal article OP-ED: Salt ponds not zoned for housing (4/1/15) Bain said “I want it on record that I am not interested in another housing proposal, which is inconsistent with the zoning. Right now, the salt ponds are zoned ‘tidal plain’ which means the site can’t be developed with a residential project.” He also noted that ” [f]looding and sea level rise are big issues to consider as we think about the fate of the salt ponds.”
This is a big move by Bain and we are pleased to see him take this stance on the Redwood City salt ponds.
