The Redmond-Woodinville Road Corridor Study is now complete. The following
information provides an account of the public process to date.
City staff met with City Council
on April 15. A project newsletter was
mailed to area residents on April 9. The corridor study is now concluded.
More information about the Council meetings, and a copy of the April newsletter,
can be viewed on What's New.
City staff met with the City Council's Planning and Public Works
Committee on March 13. Jeanne Justice, Project Manager with
Public Works/Transportation Services, presented alternatives for the
intersection of Redmond-Woodinville Road/154 Place NE/NE 109 Street:
The alternatives minimize impacts to properties along the western edge
of 154 Place NE for both the 3-lane and 5-lane configuration of
Redmond-Woodinville Road. Impacts to properties in the vicinity of
the intersection were described for all scenarios.
The attending members of the Council voiced support for utilizing the
standard right-of-way and easement area, for staff to continue the study
efforts including the Wedge sub-area plan update, and to schedule an
additional session with the full Council to present the
information regarding the Redmond-Woodinville Road corridor. (That
session took place on Tuesday, April 15.)
The committee did not express a preference towards a 3 or 5-lane
configuration.
To provide update to the larger community, staff is currently producing
a newsletter for email and regular mail distribution. Residents
who wish to provide comments may continue to send their thoughts to staff
and the City Council, as well as through "Items from the Audience" at
City Council business meetings.
At the February 12 City Council study session, Council asked staff to complete some
additional work and return to them for further discussion at a future
City Council meeting (which took place on March 13).
