Several weeks ago at a joint meeting with the City of Kirkland, Mayor Marchione stated the "couplet conversion" would be installed late 2016 or early 2017. The couplet conversion will change Redmond Way and Cleveland Street to two-way traffic flows. It's been in the planning stages for years and is controversial.
At last night's Redmond council meeting a measure on the couplet conversion was voted on during the consent agenda and the following conversation ensued. Councilmember David Carson stated that he does not support the conversion. Councilmember Hank Myers stated that though he was concerned about the costs and over-runs he would vote in favor of the couplet measure because federal funds would be lost if it didn't move forward and "it's a good idea for flow." The measure passed 6-1 (Carson). In a council meeting last year, Hank Myers was concerned about traffic flow problems by the conversion on a portion of Redmond Way.

Keep current on the progress of the couplet conversion and see what else is planned for the downtown. http://www.redmond.gov/cms/One.aspx?pageId=94497
