The 18-month Two-Way Street Conversion project, which will upgrade utilities and convert Redmond Way and Cleveland Street to two-way travel, is anticipated to begin in late spring of 2016. The conversion will make downtown easier to navigate and more connected whether you are driving, walking, biking or taking transit.

Redmond’s Downtown Park is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2018, and it will be Redmond’s signature park, creating a place for community members to gather and celebrate. It will be a community space that encourages special events, arts and music. The community helped the city create ideas and concepts for the park. Come to learn how the community’s ideas are being developed during the design process.
