City moves to approve design contract for pedestrian and bicycle safety projects on three Redmond corridors
Summary
Public works requested council to place a consultant agreement with Dowell on the consent agenda to design pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements at three locations: NE 104th Street, 160th Avenue NE, and East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Projects include channelization, center medians, ADA upgrades and flashing beacons.
Public Works asked the committee to place a consultant agreement with Dowell on the June 17 consent agenda to design pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements at three locations: Northeast 104th Street, 160th Avenue Northeast and East Lake Sammamish Parkway.
"We are moving it forward as one larger project to take advantage of some economy of scale," said Paul Cho, traffic engineer and manager. Cho said the NE 104th Street work, east of the high school, will include channelization, a center median and a marked crosswalk with flashing beacons. On 160th Avenue NE, the project will add channelization and a marked crosswalk with flashing beacons as a follow-up to a prior speed-limit reduction. East Lake Sammamish Parkway projects will focus on pedestrian crossing improvements connecting multifamily housing to Marymoor Park and the East Lake Sammamish Trail, and will include ADA improvements as well as medians and flashing beacons.
Deputy Director Christopher Stenger said these are among the city's most requested safety items. Council members expressed support and had no objections to moving the contract to the June 17 consent agenda.
No formal vote was taken in committee; council signaled consensus to place the consultant agreement on the consent agenda.
