Redmond Park-and-Ride closes for construction

Metro’s Redmond Park-and-Ride on Northeast 83rd Street in downtown Redmond will close completely late Thursday evening, June 26 to make way for a new park-and-ride garage. The closure of the lot will not affect bus service at the nearby Redmond Transit Center.

During construction, parking is available two blocks away in a temporary surface lot near the City Hall Campus Garage. There are also 178 temporary spaces close to the Bear Creek Park-and-Ride, which is served by several of the same bus routes that stop at the Redmond Transit Center. Parking at the transit center will return to former levels in Spring 2009, when the new garage opens.

Other awards went to: Tom Ponischil, Central, first place maverick operator; Ryan Stringfellow, North vehicle maintenance, first place maverick non-operator; Eric Dumadag, Ryerson, best score first-time competitor; and Trevor Hoit, Central, most-improved roadeo score.
