📰 News we're reading
1. 4 Redwood City Residents Among SMC Death Notices (patch.com) — Redwood City readers are informed that four local residents are among the latest San Mateo County death notices for August 24–30, with names and ages listed alongside other county residents. The notices reflect deaths reported to the county coroner, generally from hospitals, nursing homes, or residences, and exclude hospice cases. Families are also reminded they can post full obituaries separately. 
2. Spring Street block permanently closes for 1900 Broadway project (rwcpulse.com) — Downtown Redwood City drivers and pedestrians now face a permanent closure of one block of Spring Street between Main and Walnut as the 1900 Broadway redevelopment advances. The change simplifies the former five-legged intersection at Main and Marshall, and clears the way for a seven-story office, retail, community room, and public plaza project on the old Wells Fargo site. Expect to adjust your regular routes through downtown.
3. The 4th Annual 'A Tribute to Jeff Beck' Returns with Stu Hamm, Farida Nelson, and Tara Rae (bassmagazine.com) — Redwood City music fans can catch a high-powered Jeff Beck tribute at Club Fox on Friday, Sept. 11, featuring renowned bassist Stu Hamm and other top-tier musicians. The show promises adventurous takes on Beck's catalog, with doors at 6:30 p.m. and music at 7:30 p.m. A second performance follows the next night in Orangevale for those willing to travel.
4. Ex-San Mateo County college chancellor appeals his felony convictions (rwcpulse.com) — A former San Mateo County Community College District chancellor is serving an eight‑month jail sentence after being convicted of falsifying tax documents and perjury, and he has now filed an appeal. He was sentenced and taken into custody at the Hall of Justice and Records in Redwood City, and remains at Maple Street Correctional Center. The appeal preserves his right to challenge the conviction but does not halt his incarceration.
5. Kaiser nurses to picket in Redwood City, Bay Area over staffing and AI concerns (almanacnews.com) — Kaiser nurses plan informational pickets across California, including at the Redwood City facility, to protest staffing levels and how artificial intelligence is being introduced into patient care. Union leaders say short staffing and tech-driven cost cutting could endanger patients, while Kaiser insists it meets staffing ratios and uses technology to support, not replace, nurses. The demonstrations aim to influence ongoing contract talks.
