Redwood City and Hannig Environmental Research Organization announced a litigation settlement related to an area of Redwood City historically known as Docktown Marina, which includes public visioning for future uses and a joint cleanup effort, according to a press release.
The settlement agreement also confirms the city took action to end residential uses at Docktown and intends to prepare for future public uses there. HERO and the city agreed to sponsor a joint cleanup along the Redwood City shoreline, including the Bair Island Neighborhood Association. The city will invite community members to participate in this effort, according to the release.
After reaching agreement with the city, HERO has dismissed its lawsuit, with prejudice. No money is exchanging hands as part of this settlement, and each party is paying its own attorneys’ fees and costs for the litigation, according to the release.
The city assumed management of Docktown in 2013 and, following a 2014 State Lands Commission directive, worked to end residential uses and restore full public access. The Docktown Plan provided financial and relocation assistance to affected residents, according to the release.
