A survey showing images of the two options will be shared on the city’s social media channels, website, and the Our Renton Weekly newsletter to gather community input. The survey will launch June 2 and will be available for two weeks. As part of the 2019-2021 state budget process, the City of Renton was awarded a direct legislative appropriation grant for the full cost of the play equipment replacement. Construction is anticipated for this coming fall/winter.  The Renton Farmers Market will open for its 19th season on Tuesday, June 2. This year’s theme is “Food is Essential.” While COVID-19 won’t allow us to have the same market as past years, you will still find the freshest Washington-grown produce and flowers from your favorite vendors. This year’s market has been designed as a quick in-and-out destination for essential food shopping while following the COVID-19 regulations established by Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC). You’ll enter and exit the market through separate designated areas. Market staff will monitor the number of shoppers inside to ensure proper social distancing. We’re asking, if possible, that you consider sending only one shopper to the market and come with a list. This will allow a maximum number of people to enjoy the market. Shoppers will also be asked to wear face coverings to adhere to the PHSKC directive that took effect earlier this month. These steps are vital to help ensure the market remains safe for everyone. Please look for the signs and if you have questions, market staff will be happy to help. The market will be held every Tuesday through September 29 from 3 to 7 p.m. in Gateway Park, just west of its usual Piazza Park location. Free two-hour parking is available in the nearby City Center Garage and the Renton Transit Center is one block away.  Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic.
