Plan to attend the Public Open House on Thursday, September 18th at the Northwest Arts Center, 9825 NE 24th Street, from 6:30-8:00 p.m., where those projects that meet all the NEP criteria will be presented for review.
Next step. Cast your vote
Each Northwest Bellevue household will receive a voter’s pamphlet with project descriptions and a ballot in the mail in September. Residents will be asked to rate their top three project choices and then mail the ballot back to the City. Voting is by mail only and limited to one per household.
Northwest Bellevue NEP projects selected by residents in 2018
Two capital improvement projects will be funded from the $315,000 Northwest Bellevue allotted budget.
1. Bellevue Way Landscape Enhancement
This project will provide for the beautification of the Bellevue Way streetscape on the west side of the boulevard that currently consists of common turf between curb and sidewalk and a mix of aging shrubs in right-of-way back of sidewalk. This project will remove the water inefficient turf, improve the soil and irrigation, and design and implement a landscape of plant combinations that will unify the streetscape of Northwest Bellevue. Opportunities on east side of Bellevue Way such as the Northtowne Park frontage will be researched for upgrades. Estimated project completion: Spring 2025.

2. 100th Ave. NE and NE 18th St. Raised Intersection
This project will install a raised intersection at 100th Ave NE and NE 18th St to improve visibility of pedestrians crossing the street and encourage motorists to drive at a slower speed. The raised intersection will include high visibility school crosswalks to improve safety at this key connection point for students walking to and from schools located on 98th Ave NE. This improvement is part of the NW Bellevue Walkways and Safety Improvements project that will provide safe connections to schools on 98th Ave NE by constructing a multi-purpose path on the east side of 100th Ave NE, two raised crosswalks with RRFBs and two additional raised intersections on 100th Ave NE, and new sidewalks on NE 18th St, 98th Ave NE, and NE 21st St. Estimated Project completion: Spring 2026.
