Council Policy Proposal and Resolution
1. Resolution No. 1599: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redmond, Washington, Clarifying Council Intent Regarding the Transportation Facilities Plan, Street Use, and Right of Way Design; and Requesting Public Works to Plan for and Implement this Intent

In September, Council reviewed the attached resolution clarifying how a business owner may submit a permit request to temporarily place protective measures in the public right of way.
