The City of Redmond is seeking community input on future infrastructure plans for the southern part of Overlake Village — from Northeast 24th Street south to Northeast 20th Street — and will host an open house from 5-7 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Silver Cloud Inn, 2122 152nd Ave. N.E.

“We are seeking input from the community on where future streets should be located, what kind of streets should be built, what the Northeast 24th Street corridor should look like in the future, and what kinds of stormwater management features should be incorporated,” said Jeff Churchill, senior planner with the city.

The city is planning for the infrastructure needed to support growth so that everyone has a clear idea what infrastructure will be needed, where it will go, and how it will be built. Those who are unable to attend are encouraged to participate online at www.redmond.gov/overlake.

“Overlake Village is transforming into a mixed-use urban center with excellent access to housing, jobs, services and transit. We are preparing for the arrival of light rail in 2023, and completing an infrastructure plan is an important preparing Overlake Village to be a transit-oriented neighborhood,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

After the open house, city staff will continue to work with stakeholders to refine preliminary infrastructure plans. The city will also prepare cost estimates and economic analysis on the draft plans and then bring a package of recommended amendments to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and action in 2016.

The southern portion of Overlake Village is bounded by 148th Avenue Northeast on the west, Northeast 24th Street on the north, Bel-Red Rd on the east and Northeast 20th Street on the south. This infrastructure planning work builds on earlier work completed in 2011, which resulted in an integrated infrastructure plan for the north half of Overlake Village.
