• Other Key Facts:
132nd Ave NE corridor is prime for redevelopment. Redmond and Kirkland need to design the wastewater infrastructure for the corridor to accommodate growth.
OUTCOMES:
The City will benefit from streamlining the process of approving wastewater extensions and connections, which currently require review and approval of individual connections via interlocal agreement with both cities. The cities will have an agreed upon wastewater infrastructure that serves the entire corridor instead of two systems, which reduces unnecessary redundancy and cost.
