Home My WebLink AboutAdmin ReportEXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT t;`R M E M O R A N D U M DATE: October 15, 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. Coffee with a Cop returns!

The next Coffee with a Cop event will take place on Saturday, October 13th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Starbucks, 17901 108th Avenue SE in Renton.
