Q. How do you make Bellevue more walkable?

A. Bellevue was laid out as a suburban city and one of the legacies of that is these superblocks that are too long. We’re adding mid-block crossings … and updating and making (downtown) more visible and interesting with more artwork. I think it’s going to be very exciting to have a more walkable downtown. We’re also identifying more bike corridors, running both north to south and east to west.

Nice to see the mayor recognizes downtown Bellevue’s many problems. Walking and bking through downtown Bellevue and the surround area (8th, 10th, 12th ave) sucks.
