Redwood Citizens, don’t forget to vote today, November 3rd! The following info on today’s election also be found on the County of San Mateo’s web site:
The Consolidated Municipal, School and Special District Election will be held on Tues., Nov. 3. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
According to Chief Elections Officer Warren Slocum,”All voters should double-check the location of their polling place before they head out to vote in these important local elections,” All jurisdictions in the county are participating except Daly City and Pacifica as they do not have candidates or measures on the ballot.
Voters can lookup the location of their polling place online at www.shapethefuture.org or by calling the Elections Office at (650) 312-5222. Voters can also view (or print) their Sample Ballot. And for those that vote by mail, the website provides peace of mind through the Track & Confirm feature that gives the voter confirmation that his/her voted mail ballot was received by the Elections Office.
On Election night, Chief Election Officer Warren Slocum will host a celebration for anyone interested in gathering to watch the election night returns as they are reported. Join community leaders, citizens and elected officials and share in an old-fashioned evening of election returns. All are welcome.
The Election Night gathering will be held at the Rotunda at 555 County Center in Redwood City starting at 7:30 p.m.
Election night returns will be issued at 8:05 p.m. and on the half-hour for the rest of the evening until the count is completed. The results will be issued in person and on the Elections website according to the following schedule:

With the first significant storm coming in on Tuesday, I have heard that sandbags are available for pickup for Redwood City residents starting at this past weekend. If you are in a flood-prone area of Redwood City, you can get sandbags in the parking lot of Redwood City’s Public Works Services building, 1400 Broadway (between Chestnut and Woodside). These are for Redwood City residents only, and there is a limit of 24 bags per household.
So, this week, I think everything else is overshadowed by the recent listing of what many people consider the crown jewel of Edgewood Rd. This historic Williams Residence, at 610 Edgewood Rd., built in 1912, at 5,160 sq. ft., is I think (but anyone out there, correct me if I’m wrong), the biggest house in the Edgewood Park neighborhood.


Just got this in, from Malcolm Smith, the Public Communications Manager for Redwood City.
