City Council/Successor Agency/Public Financing Agency Regular Meeting - Aug 24, 2026
The Council chose between a 20-foot-wide levee (~$440M) and a 10-12 foot 'optimized' levee (~$324M, ~$200M city share). The pick determines FEMA accreditation, flood insurance requirements for thousands of Redwood Shores homes, and how easily the levee can be raised as seas rise.
