Save Foster City

Get Involved

We encourage all residents to be involved in the cause to save Foster City from overbuilding and from the additions of numerous commercial towers which will cause our community to deteriorate.

Also, let us stand up for and demand our inalienable right to use and enjoy the 15-acre open land, our last piece of public land. Let us strongly oppose the use of this property for private purposes to benefit a developer and a handful of individuals.

Please be involved in saving Foster City through any of the following activities:

(1) Write the City Council of Your Concerns

    - The letter can be brief simply highlighting your concerns.
      The important thing is to have your letter on public record.

    - Some instructions:

(a) Address the letter to the City Council

                    Mayor Pam Frisella
                    Vice Mayor John Kiramis
                    Council Member Art Kiesel
                    Council Member Linda Koelling
                    Council Member Rick Wykoff

                              Planning Commission

                    (c) Have an extra copy and request the city staff to stamp it so it becomes a public record.
                         Request them that you want it to be a public record.

                    (d) Request a copy of the date stamped letter.

                          Because you want to have the letter stamped,
                           it is suggested to hand deliver them to City Hall

                    (e)  Request the City Staff who stamps your letter to give a copy of your letter to each of the
                          members of the Planning Commission.
