Bellevue Wilburton Walking Tour

800 118th Avenue Northeast,Bellevue WA 98005

06 August, 2022

Description

In just a short time, East Link light rail will open and connect the Eastside with the rest of our region. However, the Wilburton neighborhood is currently full of car dealerships, strip malls, & minimal residential uses, and does not seem to be ready for the benefits that light rail will bring. The City of Bellevue is aware of this and is initiating significant rezone work that will define the character and growth of this changing neighborhood. At this event, you'll walk with Complete Streets Bellevue (CSB) and Urbanist volunteers, who will share ways to get involved in the city's process, answer questions, and hear your feedback on how we can craft policy to make this neighborhood the best it can be. The total walk will be approximately 1 mile in length, and we'll end at the Pumphouse Bar & Grill on NE 8th St to relax and share what we observed. Additional route information to come as the event gets closer.
