Redwood City Improvement Association

Redwood City Improvement Association The Redwood City Improvement Association (RCIA) was created in September 2014 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.

The RCIA is a community benefit district ran by a board consisting of property owners, residents, community members and businesses. The board is responsible for making decisions in the areas of public safety, beautification, economic development, maintenance and promotions that are most beneficial for the community and its residents, while maintaining the culture and rarity of the downtown district.

A downtown landmark with stories on every shelf 📚✨ The Redwood City Public Library has been part of the community for generations, with Redwood City’s library roots dating all the way back to 1865, making it one of the earliest public library systems in California.

Over the years, the library has evolved from a small reading room into the downtown gathering space locals know today. The current Downtown Library opened in 1989 after the historic fire station building was transformed into a modern public library, later earning the 1992 Library of the Year Award and multiple national 5-star recognitions.

Today, the library continues to serve as a hub for learning, history, and community connection, housing the Karl Vollmayer Local History Room with thousands of archived photographs, newspapers, maps, and records documenting Redwood City’s story from the 1850s to today.

🎓 Caps off to the Class of 2026!

The tassel was worth the hassle. Graduation season is all about celebrating hard work, new beginnings, and the people who helped you along the way. Gather with family, share a meal with friends, and commemorate the moment with a few keepsakes in Downtown Redwood City while making memories that last long after the cap is tossed.

Need a few ideas for the perfect graduation day? Start with a pick-me-up from Coffeebar to fuel the celebrations ahead. Then, head to brunch with your loved ones at LV Mar. Pick up a forever keepsake at Mayers Jewelers before celebrating over dinner at Donato Enoteca. End the evening with a nightcap downtown and toast to the next chapter. ✨

Congratulations to all the graduates!

10 days until we kickoff our first watch party! ⚽🌎

Last month, Downtown Redwood City joined communities across the Bay Area to celebrate the countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ with a special regional flag raising alongside local leaders, community partners, and soccer organizations that help grow the game right here at home.

Because soccer is more than what happens on the field. It’s community, culture, connection, and the kind of energy that brings people together across languages, neighborhoods, and generations.

The road to the World Cup starts here and this summer, Courthouse Square will be part of the celebration 🎉 Stay tuned for watch parties, community events, and moments that bring the world to Downtown Redwood City.
