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.
