Leer en español Redwood City — A tsunami watch on the Coast. A wildfire that shut down Interstate 280. Wild water and wild fire, two very different emergencies just weeks apart. Both carry the same message: being ready is not about if, but when.
Redwood City – Look up on Winslow Street in downtown Redwood City and you’ll see it: a bridge once the color of Sahara sand, now awash in blues and greens, a burst of sun at its center. The mural, “Contemplative Canopy,” spans the walkway linking the Hall of Justice and the county jail — a corridor long used to move inmates between the two buildings. For decades it stood as a blunt passage over a downtown street. Now it feels lighter, even hopeful.
