Bulletin staff report A Redmond City Council vote Tuesday night was the final bureaucratic step in transform- ing a blighted patch of down- town Redmond into 36 parking spots. The City Council — acting as the Urban Renewal Agency Board — unanimously ap- proved a $282,906.30 contract to build a parking lot with Red- mond contractor McKenzie Cas- cade at a recent board meeting. The lot will be built at the northwest corner of NW Fourth Street and SW Ever- green Avenue, only two blocks away from Redmond’s main downtown strip. The city purchased the va- cant land in September 2019 with the intention of building the parking lot, city docu- ments state. Not only would the project add more parking to down- town Redmond, but it would also add a sidewalk along Fourth Street, between Ever- green and Deschutes avenues, city documents state. The city expects construc- tion on the lot to begin in March, with parking available by June.
