The commission heard a study session on two proposed additions to the Transportation Facilities Plan: a shared‑use path on Northeast 40th Street between 158th Avenue NE and 156th Avenue NE (tied to the Avalon Redmond Tech Station development) and a shared‑use path on Northeast 70th Street between 188th Avenue NE and the Evans Creek Trail.
