Access Discussion

Ensuring our transportation is safe, efficient, sustainable, and provides people with a variety of options is a key part of long-term planning. Whether it’s running errands, commuting to work, picking up kids from school, or meeting friends for dinner, people have many places to go. In this space we want to hear about how people are getting around the city and the region today, challenges people are experiencing, and possible approaches to addressing those challenges. 

In the discussion space we invite you to share the following:

• Identify one place you regularly go to in Bellevue or the region (for school, work, errands, shopping, etc.).
• Tell us how you get there today (car, transit, bike) and challenges you experience. 
• One possible option for how we might address that challenge. 

Keep in mind that possible approaches could fall under two different categories:

• Land Use Policies – ex: make it easier to walk to shopping centers, encourage more family sized apartments near light-rail. 

• Transportation Policies – ex: prioritize traffic calming at busy/dangerous intersections, expand car sharing options. 

You are also invited to share your thoughts on the challenges that other people experience and what you see as pros and cons of any approaches that are suggested.
