Published 11:59 am Monday, November 4, 2013

Seattle-based development firm Capstone Partners and the City of Redmond are hosting a series of public meetings to develop and discuss conceptual designs for an urban park to be constructed at the center of a master planned development on the former Group Health site.

The first meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday at City Hall. Capstone will seek input from the Redmond Design Review Board and the Parks and Trails Commission on the vision and programming for the park.

The second meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Dec. 4 at City Hall. Capstone will conduct a general public meeting to discuss the project vision and programming goals.

Following the December meeting, Capstone will develop design options for the park site and will share their concepts at a public meeting tentatively slated for early January 2014. In late January, Capstone will present a preferred option to the community for feedback before creating plans for city approval.

Details on the 2014 meeting schedule will be available in December.For more information, visit www.redmond.gov/overlake or contact the project manager, Dennis Lisk at (425) 556-2471.
