Thank you for your interest in the City of Bellevue’s Mobility Implementation Plan's modal gap analysis! This online open house closed July 7, 2024. The feedback we received during this open house helped inform the project recommendation to the Transportation Commission on September 12, 2024.

Two people walk in front of a bus, a person biking, and some cars waiting at a stop light.

Through the Mobility Implementation Plan (MIP), the City of Bellevue regularly evaluates the transportation networks that support people walking, bicycling, and driving. The purpose of the MIP evaluation is to understand where there are "Performance Target Gaps" in the arterial network for each mode and to prioritize these gaps for project concept development.

“Gaps” exist where facilities are lacking (for example, missing sidewalk along an arterial street) or conditions fall short of target (for example, a bicycle facility exists, but provides little buffer from fast-moving vehicles). The targets for each mode are provided in the Mobility Implementation Plan. City staff have identified these “gap” locations and, for a select number of corridors, will determine what improvements would be needed to meet the performance target.

As part of this effort, we are looking for input regarding the problems and issues at defined gap locations, as well as the level of interest in closing each gap. This feedback will help the city determine what should be done in the design of project concepts to improve conditions at the various “gap” locations. These project concepts will be considered in the process of updating the 12-year Transportation Facilities Plan (TFP) later this year.

This is the third section of the “Filling Mobility Gaps by Mode: Your Community Input Matters” survey. If you have not yet done so, please complete sections one and two.

Please take a moment to review the Performance Target Gaps have been identified for prioritization and let us know your thoughts for the highlighted corridors and intersections. You may find additional information on the Performance Target Gaps in the Mobility Implementation Plan.

  • What problems do you experience on these highlighted corridors and intersections? 
  • What highlighted gaps affect your mobility the most?

To provide feedback, select the (+) button at left and drag pins to the highlighted gaps.

V/C is the mathematical capacity of an intersection compared to the observed peak traffic volume. A higher number indicates an intersection is more congested, with 1.0 meaning an intersection has reached its theoretical capacity.

LTS is the “Level of Traffic Stress”. It represents the level of comfort/discomfort a bicyclist will feel in riding along a roadway segment. The range is 1 (highest comfort, usable by riders of all ages and abilities) to 4 (lowest comfort, usable only by strong and fearless riders).


CLOSED: This map consultation has concluded.
