REDWOOD CITY – Redwood City’s waterfront is one of the last large parcels in town, and developers are eyeing it. 

Several developers want to build more than 2,000 housing units and 3 million square feet of office space. 

But environmentalists worry that developing the roughly 150 acres of bayfront property could harm some of the San Francisco Bay’s remaining wetlands. The marshlands are a source of food for migratory birds and micro-organisms that are food for other plants and animals. 

No formal proposals have been submitted to the city yet. In the next few months, consultants are expected to return to the city with development proposals.
