Pavement overlay begins on Factoria Boulevard

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 and many are available to warm up and charge devices during business hours. The mayor proclaimed a civil emergency in the city due to the storm's extensive damage. Regular updates about the city's response to the storm are being posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Yard Debris Collection after Wind Storm

Now through Friday, Dec. 6, Republic Services will collect up to 192 gallons (six 32-gallon units) of extra yard debris in bins, bags and bundles during your regular collection day at no additional cost. King County residents can drop off tree limbs, and other woody debris without paying the standard yard waste fee at the Bow Lake, Cedar Falls, Enumclaw, Factoria, Shoreline, and Vashon facilities.

Work will begin to repave Factoria Boulevard, from Southeast 36th Street to Southeast 41st Place, on Monday, June 16. To minimize traffic delays, the three-month project will take place 7:30 p.m.-6 a.m., Monday through Thursday.

In the annual Street Overlay Program, crews resurface roadways on a regular rotation around the city. The city also fixes or replaces curbs, gutters and sidewalks as needed to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The program is a cost-effective means of maintaining Bellevue's streets.

Drivers should expect frequent lane closures, and pedestrians should expect periodic curb ramp and sidewalk closures. Please be alert when you are in or near the construction zone, especially if you are a bicyclist or a pedestrian. For your safety, please obey the construction flaggers as you move through the area.
