Welcome to Redmond's Neighborhood News

Redmond's Neighborhood News is a place that you may turn to in order to discover programs, projects, and opportunities for feedback related to your neighborhood.  This service is developed by Neighborhoods Team, comprised of staff from the Long Range Planning division of the City's Planning department.  This group is always looking for methods to bring neighborhood news to your doorstep and we would like to hear your ideas.  Please send suggestions to the group via neighborhoods@redmond.gov.

You may navigate through the news pages by using the categories listed at the top of the page:  Neighborhood News, Opportunities, Events, Projects, and Programs.  Please take a moment to view the current news items and let us know your thoughts and ideas.  Thank you from the Neighborhood Planning Team.

Highlights

Redmond's Neighborhood Network Pilot 2010

Redmond's Neighborhood Network, a concept that evolved from the Neighborhood Planning Program helps:

  • Citizens check-in with staff regarding their neighborhood plan
  • Staff build and maintain a communication network with citizens
  • Complement the City's existing communication opportunities

Staff held the first pilot in the Grass Lawn neighborhood on May 13, 2010.  We anticipate the second pilot in the Education Hill neighborhood during the fall of 2010.

To learn more, contact Kimberly Dietz at 425-556-2415.

Overlake Neighborhood Residential Area Plan Update

The Overlake neighborhood consists of three distinct sub-areas.  The two southern sub-areas, which include the Employment Area and the Overlake Village, follow a neighborhood plan that was recently adopted in late-2007.  The northern sub-area, made up of single-family, residential communities, completed a neighborhood plan update in early 2010.

The Redmond Planning Commission plans to continue their review of the recommended update through July 2010.  To learn more about the process to date, please refer to the Overlake Neighborhood Residential Area Plan Update page or contact Kimberly Dietz at 425-556-2415.

Bear Creek Neighborhood Plan Update

Citizens of the Bear Creek neighborhood are updating their neighborhood plan.  A group of neighborhood citizens, serving as the Bear Creek Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), meet with staff to consider the long-term future for the neighborhood.  They consider all aspects of daily living, working, recreating, and traveling.  Citizen input is a significant component of the neighborhood planning process.  To learn more about the plan update and how you can share your thoughts with the CAC, please visit the Bear Creek neighborhood page or contact Jeff Churchill at 425-556-2492.
