The City of Redmond is seeking community input on the Bicycle Strategic Plan, determining which bicycle improvements to build in the next 6-10 years.

City staff and a consultant team will host an open house from 5-7:30 p.m. on Feb. 8 at Redmond City Hall (15670 N.E. 85th St.), with a brief introductory presentation at 5 p.m. and another at 6:30. The 6-10 year investment horizon will help the city implement bicycle infrastructure more strategically than the current system that identifies investments every two years and does not consider previous investments.

“We look forward to having community members help shape the locations and types of bicycle infrastructure that the city will build in the medium term,” said Peter Dane, project manager.

Everyone is invited and RSVPs are encouraged by emailing pbdane@redmond.gov.

The project team will take input from the open house to help generate at least two investment scenarios — each with different investment levels and projects. These preliminary scenarios will be presented at a second open house (date to be determined) to gather additional community feedback.

“Bicycling is an important component of the transportation system and helps provide travel choices,” said Mayor John Marchione. “The Bicycle Strategic Plan will help provide a logical bicycle network with facilities that encourage more residents and employees to live, work, and play by bicycle.”
