Did the Council anticipate light rail when it recently adopted a long-range plan for the Bel-Red Corridor area northeast of downtown?
Absolutely. Recent changes to Bellevue’s Comprehensive Plan and land-use code anticipated East Link running through the 900-acre Bel-Red corridor. The Bel-Red plan encourages residential and office development clustered in “nodes” around light rail stations on a newly built Northeast 16th Street. Such clustering will help advance city and regional growth management objectives that call for more density in urban areas in order to reduce sprawl in suburban and rural areas.
