The City is hosting two public open house meetings to discuss the future of this park. The first is on Thursday, July 23 at 7pm in the Lake Washington School District Resource Center, 16250 NE 74th Street in Redmond Town Center. The second is on Monday, August 10 at the same time and location.
“The new Downtown Central Park will be a treasure to the community. It provides a destination for residents and workers,” stated John Marchione, Redmond’s Mayor. “The park will strengthen neighborhood connections and reinforce the historic ‘heart’ of Redmond.”
It would become downtown Redmond’s living room; a place filled with life and activity, surrounded by economic vitality and interest that celebrates Redmond’s past, present and future.
Come to one of the two open house meetings on either July 23 or August 10 and let the City know what you think.

I presume that this would be on the soon-to-be-demolished site of the Redmond Shopping Square? Doesn't seem like much space for something like that (especially when they run a road through the middle of the site) so I wouldn't expect too much.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of where the center of the DT park might be. The old shopping center seems a logical place considering it could be tied into the renovated Cleveland Avenue - Promenade and into the BNS corridor park.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to post your comment on a Blog page and my Facebook (look on sidebar). You opened my eyes to the mystery! Thanks.
