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. 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.

As part of its Overlay program and work plan for 2015, the city is considering the rechanneling 116th Avenue Northeast, from Northeast 12th Street to Northup Way, to better address the range of user needs. The corridor currently has two northbound lanes, one southbound lane and a center two-way left-turn lane.

This rechanneling proposal involves removing one of the two northbound through lanes over a portion of the overlay limits. The final configuration would include bike lanes on both sides of the street and a three-lane roadway. This configuration would improve cyclist, pedestrian and motorist safety and convenience.

Come learn more about this proposal at an open house on Thursday, December 11, 5-6:30 p.m., at City Hall, Room 1E-112. Talk with city staff and members of the Transportation Commission.
