DATE: October 14, 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.
A date has been set for the removal of the elm tree in Jones Park affected by Dutch
Elm Disease. On Tuesday October 15, 2019, Trelstad Tree Service will remove the
tree and grind the stump. No lane closures will be needed, but nearby parking will
be coned off. Properties nearby will also receive courtesy notices of this work.
Preventative treatments for two of the remaining elm trees are already underway.
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
