Your weekly update from the City of Redmond.
Visit With Your City Council
City Councilmembers appreciate hearing ideas and receiving feedback from Redmond community members and encourage you to reach out. Stop by the Council booth at Derby Days and the new Redmond Downtown Art Walk this summer. Contact individual Councilmembers for a one-on-one conversation or join Council business meetings at 7 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month at City Hall to give public comment to the full Council.
Remembering those who gave their lives, city facilities will be closed on Monday, May 29, in observance of Memorial Day. Fire, police, and other critical services will remain fully operational. City Hall will reopen to the community at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 30.
Join Us in Honoring Emergency Medical Services Week
In 1974, President Ford declared the first National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week to honor and celebrate the EMS professionals safeguarding the health, safety, and well-being of our community. The emergency medical technicians and paramedics of Redmond Fire Department are nationally recognized for their excellence and dedication. We honor them this EMS week, May 21 – 27. Thank you, first responders!
Redmond Public Works staff design, build, and maintain our essential infrastructure and protect and restore our natural environment. Their efforts produce clean drinking water, safe roads, reliable wastewater conveyance, minimized flooding, and the protection and restoration of Redmond’s streams and wetland habitat. This year, May 21 – 27 is National Public Works Week, a chance to reflect on how public works connect us all and appreciate the dedication of those in the public works profession.
Thank you to everyone who gave valuable feedback for the Routes to Rails project, an effort to improve access to future light rail stations. We’re excited to share that the Heron Rookery Trail wayfinding signs option was selected as the pilot project and will be implemented between June 7 and 28 for the community to try out. Join us from 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. on June 9 at the Heron Rookery Trail for the official launch.
