The Redmond Bike Park work party, scheduled for June 18 and 19, is cancelled until further notice.

The city will announce a revised construction schedule as it comes available.

There is potential for an appeal of the site plan entitlement application to be filed. All design materials and the SEPA checklist are posted on the project website at www.redmondbikepark.com/bikepark under the document library.

Over the past two years, the city worked with community members to determine how to legitimize dirt jumps built on city property.

After a series of public meetings, field trips to other bike parks and trails and design workshops, the community approved plans developed by Hilride Progression Development Group.

The design consists of five dirt-jump style trails for BMX and mountain bike riders. There will be a progression of trails from beginner to advanced, including a pump track that can be ridden by people of all skill levels.

The city has two partners on this project — Realize Redmond and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. It is supported or sponsored by Bikes Belong, Specialized Bicycle Components through Pacific Bicycles Company, Whole Foods Market, Sun Belt Rentals, Transition Bicycles and Redline Bicycles.
