    The City of Bellevue Transportation Department is working on a project to improve safety and access for people walking and rolling on the south side of Main Street near the East Main light rail station. This project builds on input provided by the community through the East Main Station Area Plan to improve access to the station and the Surrey Downs neighborhood.

    Description

    This project will:

    • Construct a new 12-foot wide multipurpose path on the south side of Main Street from 108th Avenue to 112th Avenue
    • Install a landscaped buffer strip between the multipurpose path and Main Street from 108th Avenue to 110th Place SE
    • Upgrade existing curb ramps within the project limits to meet ADA requirements to the maximum extent feasible
    • Build two new marked crosswalks and a pedestrian refuge median island at the intersection of Main Street and 110th Avenue
    • Install new traffic signals and update traffic signal operations at Main Street and 110th Avenue. 

    The traffic signal changes will allow all directions of travel at the intersection of Main Street and 110th Avenue, which will improve access for people who live in Surrey Downs. It will also allow us to better separate pedestrian crossing and driving movements, which will improve safety. Additionally, the private driveway just east of 110th Avenue SE will be closed to reduce conflicts between people driving and people using the multipurpose path.

    We know the communities of Surrey Downs and Bellecrest are concerned about cut-through traffic, and we are taking proactive steps to address it. A traffic study was completed in fall 2024 and a second study will be done after the project is completed to determine levels of potential cut-through traffic. We will also monitor traffic volumes at the intersection of 110th Avenue and Main Street and adjust signal timing as needed to provide access to the neighborhood while limiting cut-through traffic.

    For a further description of the project, including an in-depth review of the proposed changes from 108th Avenue to 112th Avenue, more information on the project background, and information on traffic volumes and cut-through traffic, watch the recording of our online information meeting that happened on January 15, 2025.

    Project schedule

    The design of the project is almost complete. Construction is anticipated to start in summer 2025 and take until the end of 2025. Please note that construction schedules are subject to change and often do.

    Funding

    Neighborhood Levy Logo

    The estimated cost of construction is $2.7 million. Project funding is provided through a federal Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) as well as the Transportation Department Capital Improvement Program and the Neighborhood Safety, Connectivity and Congestion Levy.
