Letter: Saltworks Is a Reasonable Balance for the City

North Fair Oaks Festival Director Catherine Matsuyo Tompkison-Graham argues for the merits of a Saltworks project.

To the Editor:

I am troubled that the Saltworks project from Redwood City. 

This region needs the housing, parks and recreation areas that DMB is offering. The project will go a long way to addressing the jobs/ housing imbalance.

And although the goal of 100% wetlands restoration is commendable, there doesn’t appear to be a viable way to finance it. 

We must be realistic – the Saltworks project is a reasonable attempt to balance what need not be competing interests.
