Downtown Redmond makeover project to begin in August
Downtown Redmond makeover project to begin in August
By Mary Stevens Decker • June 24, 2008 2:22 am

When you think of excitement, hustle and bustle, you’re probably not thinking about downtown Redmond.
For years, the downtown neighborhood — outside of Redmond Town Center — has suffered from an identity crisis. You rarely see pedestrians. And small business owners have complained that no one seems to know where they are, because of the confusing one-way streets.
A community meeting on June 19 at Redmond City Hall, gave residents and business people a glimpse of how downtown Redmond could look in the near future.

“Skyrocketing fuel costs may soon lead the County Executive to propose a fuel surcharge or fare increase for Metro Transit,” said Councilmember Larry Phillips. “Before we entertain such action, we need to assure bus riders that we are identifying every cost-savings and efficiency in the transit system.”
