Northup/20th, BelRed, and 140th losing a car lane

I have made my way through the BelRed area by bike, and it is tricky. I would like to ride in BelRed more. However, am i going to make the choice to commute by bike, even if the road was comfortable? Are you? The City estimates the project will add just 210 bike trips a day overall but only 13 will be new bike commuters. Almost all feedback has been by cyclists. Most people I talk to assume that there is only adding bike lanes, not removing car lanes.

 

The goal of the Bike Bellevue plan is to make it comfortable for cyclist at all levels. Length of cycling trip is not as important as comfort and safety. One can avoid BelRed altogether, if it is not your destination, by going on EasTrail and 520 trail.

Choose a way to let the City know:

  1. If opposed to removing lanes, sign an online petition at BikeBellevue.com
  2. Signup to speak at the Transportation Commission https://bellevue.legistar.com/
  3. Comment with the city tool (best for details for specific places https://bikebellevue.konveio.com/
  4. Email. Council, Transportation Commission, and BTCC. Click here to start mailto://council@bellevuewa.gov,transportationcommission@bellevuewa.gov,board@bridletrailscommunity.org?subject=Removal%20of%20car%20lanes
