Redmond 2050

What are some things you want to see in your neighborhood? 

¿Qué cosas le gustaría ver en su vecindario para que se convirtiera en una comunidad autosuficiente?

Are you a community member with a disability, or a family member, caregiver, or a service provider who supports those with disabilities? If so, you’re invited to participate in a Redmond 2050 disabilities stakeholder focus group to provide feedback on policies that are intended to improve equity and inclusion for community members with disabilities.  

• Draft 1.0 Policies

These first draft policies are based on feedback we heard from our stakeholders over the past year.  We’d like your feedback on:

• Are we on the right track?
• Did we miss anything?
• Will these policies improve equity and inclusion for community members with disabilities if implemented as written? Or are any edits that you feel would make these policies more clear or more impactful?

Your feedback will help us determine where we need to to focus efforts later this year as we develop draft 2.0.

REDMOND IS CHANGING FROM A SUBURB TO A CITY

Planning for growth helps us build a city that meets the needs of the community and reflects the vision for how the community will look and function. The Redmond 2050 project will update how we plan for Redmond over the next 30 years. We must find solutions for accommodating growth that fit our community values, particularly how growth is distributed in our community and what it looks like.

As part of Redmond 2050, we would like to hear from business owners and leaders about their needs and vision for the future of Southeast Redmond. If you currently own a business in the area, are looking to move to the area, or have a manufacturing or industrial business anywhere in Redmond, we invite you to join us for a breakfast forum on March 28.

As Redmond grows over the next 30 years what is the future of business and industry in Southeast Redmond? Please use this questionnaire to share more about your future plans for your business, and your business interest, concerns, and ideas for the future of Redmond.  

The questions are the same questions asked at the March 26, 2023 SE Redmond Business Breakfast.  You may find it helpful to download the questions and handouts to review before starting to complete this questionnaire.

Redmond is transitioning from a suburb to a city.  

The City is reviewing all of the ways Redmond should plan and build for the next few decades. Planning for growth helps us build a city that meets the needs of the community and reflects the vision for how the community will look and function.  

Redmond 2050 is an update to city policies and regulations to meet the needs of the community in the next decades.  

We have identified policies that need to be updated or created to advance the Redmond 2050 themes of equity, sustainability, and resiliency in Redmond.

We are seeking community feedback to ensure that the updates we are making are aligned with these goals, as well as with the priorities of the Redmond community.

As population grows and jobs move to our region, we have to strategize where people and jobs can fit while maintaining and improving our high quality of life. Please review information about proposed growth alternatives before completing this questionnaire. You can access the materials by visiting the Redmond 2050 website. 

This is a first draft based on what we have heard from the community so far. Please review and then provide your feedback:

• Economic Vitality Draft 1.0
• Change Matrix

The Redmond 2050 project will update how we plan for Redmond over the next 30 years.

We’ve heard from you that Redmond’s plans should enable a future that is equitable and inclusive, sustainable, and resilient.

Our first updates are on the topics of Housing, Economic Vitality, and Transportation.  Sometimes policy choices require making trade-offs. Today we’d like to hear your preference on certain policies that will require a tradeoff.

A full list of policies under consideration available at Redmond.gov/Redmond2050.

In this exercise, we will ask you to provide feedback on a series of 12 look and feel concepts for new growth in Downtown, Overlake, and along specific main roads in Redmond. 

For each concept, such as Façade Style or Street Furnishings, we ask you to consider your preferences between the two styles presented. Do you prefer one or the other, or both?

Please consider these concepts for their applicability to Redmond as a whole. At the end of the survey, we will review all 12 concepts and ask for feedback on their use in specific neighborhoods.   

This questionnaire follows our DESIGN PRINCIPLES questionnaire. To see our previous engagement work as part of the Redmond 2050 process, please view our Phase 1 and Phase 2 engagement results.

We are asking for your feedback on a series of 12 design principles for how new developments Downtown, Overlake, and along specific main roads in Redmond should look. 

For each of the 12 design principles we will show you a series of images that indicate the principle we are considering, such as Small Commercial Units and Active-Use Public Space. We will ask you to rank these elements as a higher or lower priority for use in Redmond.  

The outcomes of your feedback will help us create policy guidelines for all new developments that the community believes should be prioritized. 

You can see the results of the Redmond 2050 Phase 1 and Phase 2 community feedback or learn more about the project at Redmond.gov/Redmond2050.

In the first round of “Gains and Pains” public involvement, we asked you to think about what is currently working and not working in the City of Redmond. What are the current concerns and success of the City? We then asked you to think about the future growth of Redmond by the year 2050. What are the concerns and aspiration for what the City looks like in 30 years? 

You can view the full results for that questionnaire here or in the Redmond 2050 Virtual Lobby.

From the comments collected, we distilled the most common themes for each of the questions above. We are now asking you to help us understand your priorities for the City of Redmond as we continue planning to accommodate the regional growth targets for 2050.

Think about the future growth of Redmond by the year 2050. What are your aspirations for what the City looks like in 30 years? What are your concerns about how the City grows over this time?  Tell us in the following questionnaire.

In this exercise, you will be asked to brainstorm what you want to see happen in the future growth of the City -- we will call these "Gains". You will then be asked to brainstorm things that concern you about this growth and that need to be addressed -- we will call these "Pains". 

The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document meant to inform City decision-makers, the public, and other agencies about the environmental implications of the Redmond 2050 plans, policies, and regulations. We need your help to identify the most important natural or built environment topics in the EIS, to identify growth alternatives, and to consider how to grow sustainably.

How will you get around Redmond in the year 2050? How will people, goods, and services travel along our sidewalks, trails, roads, and other pathways? What will transportation be like in Redmond’s future?

Planning for our future helps us build a city that meets our needs and reflects our vision for how our community should look and function.

The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is Redmond’s primary planning document for transportation and mobility, implementing the goals and policies of the Redmond Comprehensive Plan. It guides the City in building a transportation system, supporting mobility services, and promoting travel choices over the next three decades. 

We need your help to update this plan as part of the Redmond 2050 update. We want to hear your ideas and priorities for transportation and mobility. What do you imagine as the City grows and develops into the future? Please tell us in your responses to the following questions, which should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

We know that more jobs and more people will be coming to Redmond over the next 30 years. A lot of that growth will be in Overlake and Downtown Redmond. 

The purpose of this questionnaire is to learn how growth would affect your small business and what your business needs to survive and thrive.

This questionnaire is also available in Hindi, Spanish, and Chinese or you may be able to use Google Translate in the top right corner of the website for this online questionnaire.  If you need assistance, please email Redmond2050@redmond.gov
