Redmond 2050 plan certified, clears path to regional and federal transportation funds
Summary
City of Redmond officials said Redmond 2050, the city's comprehensive plan update, was certified by the Puget Sound Regional Council, confirming conformance with the Growth Management Act and enabling federal and regional transportation funding applications.
City of Redmond officials announced that Redmond 2050, the city's comprehensive plan update, was certified last month by the Puget Sound Regional Council, confirming that the plan's transportation provisions conform to the Growth Management Act and align with regional policies. Scott Vandevanner, speaking in the city's weekly news briefing, said the certification "recognizes that the plan's transportation-related provisions conform to the growth management act and are consistent with other multi-county and regional policies."
Vandevanner said the certification allows the city to apply for federal transportation funding and for funds from the Regional Transportation Improvement Program. He did not provide specific project names, funding amounts or application timelines during the briefing.
The certification is a procedural recognition by the regional council; no council vote or city council action on particular transportation projects was described in the briefing. Residents seeking details on which projects might seek federal or RTIP funding should consult City of Redmond planning staff or the Puget Sound Regional Council for application schedules and project lists.
