The City of Bellevue wants to hear from you!
The 108th Avenue Demonstration Bikeway opened on July 31, 2018, providing the first continuous bicycle facility through downtown Bellevue. Now the City of Bellevue wants to hear what you think. If you bike, walk, bus, or drive along 108th Avenue NE in downtown, please take a few minutes to respond to an online questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/108thBikeDemo. The survey is available until Nov. 1, 2018.
 
Your response will help the city transportation staff know what you think works, what doesn’t, and how the design can be improved to better serve all users. More information is available on the project webpage. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the demonstration bikeway.

Want to improve regional trails? Take this survey and make your voice heard!
King County Parks wants to hear your ideas about ways to improve regional trails. Regional trails are those wide, paved trails or hard gravel paths with gentle grades, such as the Burke-Gilman, Sammamish River, Interurban, Green River and Cedar River Trails. If you complete the survey, you will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win a two night stay in a yurt at Tolt-MacDonald Park! Make sure to take the survey before October 5th!
