SUBJECT: Administrative Report
• The city has launched our Age-Friendly Renton Community Survey. The survey
covers housing, transportation, outdoor spaces, and other services. Your input will
help guide future policies designed to make neighborhoods safe and walkable, while
supporting health, well-being, and participation for all Renton residents. The survey
takes less than 15 minutes to complete and will be available through Friday,
November 20. You may take the survey online at surveymonkey.com/r/27V6ZS6 or
email recreation@rentonwa.gov to request a copy of the survey in English, Spanish,
or Vietnamese.
• Cold weather is on the way. The Public Works Department will be applying deicer to
major arterials as needed. Snow is not far away. During snow events, 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, impact response of
emergency vehicles, and may be towed. 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
deicing and snow route maps.
• Inclement weather conditions may prevent collection of garbage, recycling, and
organics. Should this occur, please remove your carts from the curb at the end of the
day and follow these guidelines:
o Recycling and garbage carts will be collected on the Saturday immediately
following the missed collection, road conditions permitting.
o Organics will be collected on the next regularly scheduled collection day the
following week. For more information, please visit our website at
