Help Make Redmond More Accessible

Do you or a loved one have a disability that impacts your ability to get around town? As part of Redmond 2050’s focus on equity in the built environment and the Transportation Master Plan update, the City is conducting a study to better understand the needs of the disabled community related to accessibility to and from our new light rail stations. Help us better design streets, sidewalks, seating, and more, and share with us how it impacts your ability to walk, bike, roll, and otherwise utilize public transportation for your day-to-day trips around Redmond.
