Thanks for posting this! I had no idea it was happening this weekend

That looks like pure hell! And I hate when people talk but it's supposed to be the dog. Be ready for shit and piss everywhere and a lot of attacks. I don't understand the whole dog worship cult mentality

I agree completely about the first speaker's concerns about the crossing of Redmond Way to the east of the freeway. I have tried on multiple occasions to contact city government about this to tell them it is an urgent safety issue, and I tried contacting Washington's DoT as well, since it's a highway off-ramp. But nobody seems interested in replying. I'm glad the first woman was there to speak. I'm also happy the light rail is coming soon - although I do disagree with her on Plymouth. Sadly, I am generally not able to attend council meetings due to work.

Dog obsession and worship is a mental illness. All the barking, dog feces and urine in public places will be a huge nuisance and a toxic hazard. Please stop this.

So glad Redmond created these enclosed parks. We've been taking our puppy there almost every day. It's a fantastic way for her to socialize with dog and human friends, alike. We've been using both parks, too.

Video turned out great!

Cool segment on our furry friends

Wouldn’t that be the department of transportation or public works responsibility?

A great commitment. Does this mean Downtown Park will get more trees and concrete will be removed?

The stats quoted by the 16 year old speaker are very wrong. 99% of the residents will be drug addicts. 99% of them are on opioids. That facility will attract drug addicts and drug dealers. Your city will never look the same. And Redmond sat back and allowed 5 council members and the Mayor to do this. Hope Redmond wakes up.

A heartfelt congrats to the City and all its community groups for this awesome space!

Excellent job by these young students! They have more common sense than those council members who voted to allow the housing project in the middle of downtown Redmond!

While it's a great-designed building, we need to realize that it's a multi-purpose community center that does not focus on seniors.

56:36 is when that NAFO guy starts talking... damn he's good. Listening to him you'd believe Alex Tsimerman is the Eastside's Putin.

I love councilmember fields' message around 2:00:00

I'm happy to see people sharing their voices. (Edit: Some are a bit loud and over-the top, actually, but most are good.) And I agree we should mandate drug teatment for anyone in the shelter.

Really? Till 9:30 only? Absurd. Should be 11:30 at least on weekends. What about someone that may want to go out and use the trains?

"pro-Plymouth" crowd is arguing a strawman. Nobody in the room said that we don't need to help the homeless or that we don't need more housing. People are against reckless and inconsiderate decision to cede prime real estate to a luxury development that will provide free housing to drug addicts and sex offenders, won't guarantee housing for homeless who are actually from Redmond, and in the end will not make a difference with only 100 units. Redmond City Council is making a shady deal without public input. They forgot where their power comes from and who they are supposed to represent.

Residents of Redmond should be heard. I am also not against helping homeless. But Plymouth Housing sounds like a very expensive wasteful effort on that.

I'm not against housing for the homeless. But I am against Plymouth Housing. I think we can do better.

Residents try to save Redmond, but city councils do all to create a new Seattle copy.

1:21:00 I like the idea of a subscription to hearing about comment opportunities.

1:09:44 This explanation on costs makes a lot of sense.

Perfect! Reduce car dependency and reduce traffic! Perfect.

Getting closer to importing the Seattle garbage, just in time for the drug-permitted homeless building in downtown that no one wants

yay!

These leaders are too emotionally led in their decision making. They hear a personal success story from a homeless person housed by Plymouth Housing and they think the whole program is a success. We need statistics. In the last Plymouth housing project, what percentage and how many were addicts. How many among them recovered because of Plymouth Housing. How about a survey of the immediate neighborhood where Plymouth Housing exist? How many of them feel less safe as a result of Plymouth Housing.

Disgraceful. Rescind the decision immediately

I wish there would have been public comment before giving away the property. Not providing the input prior to moving forward opened the door for so much of the mistrust. I hear lots of support and that simple step would have allowed better introduction of much needed PSH.

Very nice to see plans to build up instead of out. Good work everyone. Can we get more bike paths? Bike gutters exist on some streets but they are very unsafe.

Tremendous video, and so artfully crafted! *Thank you* Laura-lee for your dedication and passion for Redmond history!

Why is land use next to Overlake village station completely wrong? Please turn that plot of land into a park/plaza/coffee stand or something the community can benefit from.

🤘 P r o m o S M

36:16 Of course the audience needs to stay quiet, as the government's plan was to not allow any kind of discussion among the community due to an expectation that such discussion would lead to the project falling apart. Yes, laughing in the middle of a city council meeting is generally disrespectful, but I find it far more disrespectful that the city didn't make efforts to inform and seek out the opinion of its residents prior to their quick vote to accept a proposal another city had recently rejected.

PLYMOUTH IS CORRUPT!!! DON'T DO THIS, REDMOND!!!

I stopped here about a half year ago and loved it! The owner was kind and very patient with me answering my questions about his exotic plants. The plants were gorgeous, but expensive for me. (I'm not a techie.) He wished for better parking, but once the nearby construction is finished many shoppers will walk to the business! In the meantime, you may find some parking on the side street next to Anderson Park. I love this shop! Will definitely revisit!

Does it also encourage antisemitism? Is your daughter the one caught taking down posters of Israeli hostages at USC?

Looks like antisemitism runs in the Birney family

Your daughter is an antisemite , Shame on you

Pool missing. 😢

Don’t worry, they will keep you safe from jaywalkers and talk down to random citizens while doing so. They have a Karen to make every situation worse.

"Mental health professional" 🤣 Yeah go be a cop in a vicious communist hell hole so you can be spat on and demonized.

Mayor Birney - will you be condemning the actions of your antisemitic, hamas-loving daughter or nah?

Mayor Birney - do you and your entire family support the murders, rapes & kidnappings committed by hamas, or just your daughter?

Your daughter is a terrorist sympathizer.

Birneys daughter was filmed tearing down posters of Jewish victims and giggling...I wonder where she learned her antisemitism from? Disgusting, evil person.

Why does the mayor have a Jew hating daughter? Kinda weird

Where is the story of you supporting Hamas?

"Diverse". Great, as long as they aren't Jews, right? That's what your daughter says anyways, right Mayor?
