A public meeting for Redmond residents to learn about and provide
comments on proposed changes to West Lake Sammamish Parkway between
Bel-Red Road and NE 51 Street will be held on Thursday May 21 from
6:30 to 8:30pm at Redmond City Hall Council Chambers, 15670 NE 85
Street. Mayor John Marchione will be on hand to welcome
meeting participants. Members of the Overlake and Viewpoint
Citizen Advisory Committees will be present to hear your comments
and questions.
City of Redmond staff recommends a roundabout for the intersection
of West Lake Sammamish Parkway at Bel-Red Road. This meeting
will include opportunities for participants to:
- view project
displays
- learn about the
corridor's existing conditions and anticipated future character
- learn about
roundabouts
- ask questions of
City staff
- provide feedback
to the City as part of a preference survey
West Lake Sammamish Parkway is identified in the City's
Comprehensive Plan and in the Transportation Master Plan as a
critical link in Redmond's transportation system connecting three
urban centers: Downtown Redmond, Overlake and Downtown Bellevue.
The purpose of the West Lake Sammamish Parkway Corridor Study is to
take a comprehensive look at the corridor to determine the future
configuration of the roadway and where it intersects with Bel-Red
Road and with NE 51 Street. A kick-off meeting in September
2007 and neighborhood meetings in Viewpoint and Overlake in October
and November 2008 gave area residents opportunities to review study
and design information, see a presentation on roundabouts and share
comments and opinions with project staff.
Comments gathered at the May 21 meeting will help the Planning
Commission and the City Council make final decisions about West Lake
Sammamish Parkway based on what they hear from the community.
For more information about proposed improvements to West Lake
Sammamish Parkway, contact Tricia Thomson, Project Manager, at
tthomson@redmond.gov or at 425-556-2776 or
