Do you live or work in the Bel-Red, Overlake or east Bellevue area?
If so, we would like your comments on possible transportation improvement strategies.
The City of Bellevue is asking for public input as it works on updating the 1999 BROTS Interlocal Agreement. The agreement addresses transportation consequences of planned growth within an area that overlaps the jurisdictions of the City of Bellevue and the City of Redmond. Elected officials in both cities have expressed their intent to adopt a "successor agreement" by the end of 2008 to recognize changes in land uses and new plans for the area.
One important difference between the 1999 BROTS and the successor agreement is the addition of an east Bellevue study area to address transportation impacts outside the original BROTS study area. Growth in the Bel-Red and Overlake areas and throughout the region is expected to have an impact on several north-south arterials that run through east Bellevue, including 140th, 148th, 156th avenues, and West Lake Sammamish Parkway.
Please take a few minutes to let us know what is important to you and add any suggestions or comments here. Your participation will help in developing long term solutions to the current transportation issues in east Bellevue.
