Open house to preview Cougar Mountain/Lakemont neighborhood enhancement projects

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Cougar Mountain and Lakemont residents will have the opportunity to preview the Neighborhood Enhancement Program projects proposed for their NEP ballot on Sep. 7, 6-8 p.m., at the Lewis Creek Visitor Center (5808 Lakemont Blvd. SE).

Open house attendees can expect to learn more about the types and locations of the 137 project ideas that were submitted for consideration, as well as the process for project selection and development. Attendees will have the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed ballot projects, and speak with city staff regarding project-related questions and concerns.

In late September, residents of these two areas will be asked to select three projects to be funded by the $300,000 NEP allocation for Cougar Mountain/Lakemont.
