Mayor's letter to the business
community.
While the BTTI Advisory Committee did not formally meet during 2007, City staff
set out to implement the projects that were approved by the committee in 2006:
- NE 36 Street Overcrossing ($4,100,00 approved allocation from business tax
revenue)
- Redmond Intelligent Transportation System ($900,000 approved allocation
from business tax revenue)
- Redmond Trip Incentive Program (R-TRIP) ($700,000 approved allocation from
business tax revenue)
- City Rideshare Incentives (R-Rewards) ($200,000 approved allocation from
business tax revenue)
- NE 76 Street/Redmond Way ($100,000 approved allocation from business tax
revenue)
Check the document that shows the
allocation of funds to projects for
information on the way in which business tax surcharge revenues have been spent
since the tax was first
collected in 1997.
While several transportation system improvement projects near completion, other
projects and studies
will be gearing up in 2008.
Bear Creek Parkway. The Bear Creek
Parkway project is bonded
by future revenue from the business tax, and the first project to come out of
the City's Downtown Plan. Part of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan since 1995,
the Bear Creek Parkway project was revisited in 2002 during the public process
to create a master transportation plan for downtown. This pivotal
revitalization project will help realize the community's vision to make downtown
Redmond attractive and functional for a variety of modes of travel, and a place
where people want to be.
NE 36 Street Bridge. Construction is
scheduled to begin this coming spring or early summer on the NE 36 Street
Bridge. As reflected in the City of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan, this
bridge will connect the rapidly developing east and west sides of SR 520.
