DATE: October 7, 2019
TO: Don Persson, 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 www.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.
Last Thursday and Friday, Teamsters Local 25 from Massachusetts set up a picket
line outside Republic Services facilities. Republic Services Teamster members
honored the picket line, which caused the cancellation of solid waste collection
services. Customers were informed of the service disruption via direct calls to their
phone, and messages were communicated via the Republic Services website and
City social media including Facebook and NextDoor. As of Monday, October 7,
service has been restored. Customers missed will have their materials collected on
Saturday, October 12.
Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and
road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic. All
projects are weather permitting and unless otherwise noted, streets will always
remain open. Preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road
closures will be at the following locations:
Monday, October 7 through Friday, October 11, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
A geotechnical contractor will be conducting soil sampling along Williams
Avenue South and Wells Avenue South between South Grady Way and South
2nd Street. Expect intermittent lane closures and minor traffic delays.
