HomeMy WebLinkAboutAdmin Report e2 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 4, 2017 TO: Armondo Pavone, Council President Members of Renton City Council FROM: Denis Law, Mayor Jay Covington, 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 http://rentonwa.gov/living/defaultaspx?id=21258 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. • The Public Works Department is proud to announce that it was the recipient of the Washington State Chapter American Public Works Association First Place Quality Award for asphalt pavement construction in recognition of the high quality asphalt pavement construction on the Duvall Avenue NE Pavement Preservation Project, which is rated as the best city asphalt paving project in the State of Washington during the year 2016. • A new and improved Renton Clean Sweep Program will be in effect for single family residential customers. Each household may schedule one collection to take place on its regular garbage day until December 29th at no additional charge. For questions or to schedule your Clean Sweep collection, contact Republic Services at 206-777- 6440. • The in-water phase of the Bird Island Shoreline Enhancement project will take place this month at Coulon Park. American Construction Company will be working until the end of December. Expect to see cranes and other heavy equipment around the island as well as turbidity curtains in the lake. Bird Island will be closed to the public during construction. The end result of this project will be an improved habitat for salmon, birds, and other wildlife that use the Island, and a new area for the public to view scenic Lake Washington.
