Bellevue sets open house Wednesday for new street in Bel-Red area

Bellevue residents can learn about a major street planned for the Bel-Red area at an open house Wednesday.

The open house, 5-7 p.m., at City Hall (450 110th Ave. NE), in the first-floor concourse, will focus on the proposed Northeast 15th/16th Street project. The new street is being designed for a variety of transportation users, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, light-rail passengers and bus and vanpool riders.

Attendees can learn about, and comment upon, roadway options intended to accommodate future growth in the area and integrate with the planned East Link light rail route. Two light rail stations are proposed along the new thoroughfare – at 120th Avenue Northeast and at 130th Avenue Northeast, with a park-and-ride proposed at the 130th Avenue station.
