On Thursday, June 25 from 7 to 9pm at the Redmond City Hall
Council Chambers, 15670 NE 85th Street, the City of Redmond will
host an informational meeting about the progress to date of Fire
Station 17. Fire Station 17 will be built in the 16900 block
of NE 116th Avenue to fill an identified need for reduced response
times within the growing North Redmond neighborhood.
Project architects, Mayor Marchione and City staff from the Fire,
Public Works and Planning departments will be on hand to provide
project information and answer questions about the schedule, design,
construction and operation of Fire Station 17. There will be a
presentation at 7pm followed by time to look at site plans and ask
questions one-on-one.
The Fire Station is currently in the design phase, with several
environmental assessments completed. Funds for construction
are available in the City's capital improvement budget and funding
for aid car personnel was approved by voters in fall 2007. The
anticipated schedule for construction is from mid-2010 to mid-2011.
For more information on Fire Station 17, contact Captain Tom
Langton, Redmond Fire Department at
tlangton@redmond.gov or 425-556-2217.
