Stanford Medicine Cancer Center
Redwood City
Description
Stanford Health Care is proposing a cancer center on Broadway and Douglas, needing changes to the General Plan and the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan. The council just voted to start the review process — the real approvals and environmental review come later.
Impact summary
The project would bring world-class cancer care and thousands of jobs but also construction, traffic, and parking pressure on North Fair Oaks and Friendly Acres — and community benefits negotiations will shape what the neighborhood gets in return.
