DATE: November 19, 2018
TO: Ed Prince, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
Robert Harrison, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
Inclement Weather Response Reminder: The Public Works Department would like
to remind residents to help us prevent local residential street flooding by monitoring
catch basins near your home and keeping them clear of leaves and other debris.
Street sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris along major arterials. Also,
snow is not far away. Please remember that during snow and ice events, the
department sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable.
Visit our website at rentonwa.gov/snowroutes to view our snow route maps. It is
imperative that motorists do not park or abandon their vehicles within any portion
of the traffic lanes. Abandoned vehicles impair snow and ice removal and impact
response of emergency vehicles.
An effort to rename the Eastside Rail Corridor is underway, and the city of Renton
invites everyone to make suggestions through a public survey that will be available
through the city's social media sites and the parks and trails division web page. The
survey will be open until November 25th and your responses will help guide the
decision process. For more information, contact Cailin Hunsaker, Parks and Trails
Director, at chunsaker@rentonwa.gov or 425-430-6606.
