Woodside honors architect Chuck Davis of EHDD for legacy in local projects

Woodside Town Council members paid tribute to the late Chuck Davis, a prominent architect known for his work on significant projects such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the town's new hall, during their meeting on June 10, 2025. Davis, who was part of the San Francisco firm Esherick, Homsi, Dodge and Davis (EHDD), left a lasting impact on the community through his innovative designs that respect local history.

Council members highlighted Davis's role in transforming the Woodside School Library from an old classroom into a modern library, showcasing his ability to blend contemporary architecture with historical elements. The town hall project, which also benefited from Davis's expertise, was noted for its thoughtful design that enhances the town center's aesthetic.

In addition to the tribute, community member Mr. Wells raised concerns about weekend traffic and noise issues at the busy Four Corners intersection. He emphasized the need for improved crosswalks to enhance pedestrian safety and address the chaos caused by modified exhausts and racing vehicles in the area.

The discussions underscored the town's commitment to honoring its architectural heritage while addressing current community challenges. As Woodside moves forward, the council aims to balance preserving its historical identity with ensuring public safety and accessibility.
