Tracee Tuesday
REDMOND, Ore. [KTVZ] — Redmond City Councilors held their meeting Tuesday night. In council chambers, there were two major agenda items:
Central Dry Canyon Project
Airport Terminal Building Expansion Project
The Central Dry Canyon Project has improvements across parks, streets, and water facilities.
The city’s engineering staff requested council approval of a change order totaling $175,418.60, to reconstruct pavement on Cascade Avenue, after crews found existing surface insufficiency, during water line excavation.
Assistant City Engineer Lynsey Cromsigt said, completing this work now, is more cost-effective than delaying to a future project.
“This project is ongoing since April of 2025, and will be completed in June of 2026. We appreciate everyone’s patience, as we do have a lot of pedestrian closures and detours through the canyon, and so, we do ask folks to continue to be patient with that and use the detours on Canyon Drive and Antler Avenue.”
Cromsigt also says the Hope Playground is scheduled to close for 30 days beginning September 3, 2025.
City Council also considered a $16,462,173 amendment for the Airport Terminal Expansion Project.
This final amendment covers interior construction and finishes, keeping the project on track and slightly under budget, to meet growing demand and improve safety and capacity at Redmond Municipal Airport.
“Basically, it’s the final approval for the full construction package to build the new terminal expansion. It’s made up of about four different packages. Three of them have already been approved over the last eight and nine months. This is our final one for FF&E, which is basically furniture, fixtures, and equipment, HAVC; kind of all that stuff that comes, you know, you put in to add to an airport,” said Redmond Airport Director, Zachary Bass.
The Redmond City Council approved both projects to move forward.
