Responding to an online survey prior to the Neighborhood Leadership Gathering in February, residents from all over Bellevue requested that the city’s leaders come out and enjoy what is unique about their neighborhood.
“Spend time in the neighborhoods,” wrote one resident. “Early morning, during commute times and later in the day. Walk them, bring your team and include a member of the community.”
We heard you and we love your idea! Building on last year’s Summer Chats with the city manager, we’re taking the conversation to the streets. The Leadership Team, which includes the city manager and department directors, will visit six Bellevue neighborhoods with residents this summer.
Residents can either walk the whole way or meet the team at a "chat stop." Questions? Reach out to mheilman@bellevuewa.gov.
