Traffic, Traffic, Traffic, Working to Help with Downtown Bellevue, WA Gridlock
Have you ever tried to run to the mall in downtown Bellevue for a quick errand? It’s almost impossible to do these days.
Even though the transportation bill went down in defeat, there still are some things being done to help with traffic problems. The City of Bellevue has just been awarded a $300,000 grant from the state program, GTEC, to help ease traffic problems. The Growth and Transportation Efficiency Center is a program funded by the legislature to identify areas in which single occupancy vehicle traffic can be reduced, thereby helping to eliminate some of traffic congestion. Bellevue is one of 7 cities in the state who are receiving GTEC money.
How could this money be spent?
-Rebates to employers for employee transit passes
-Providing information to people about alternative transportation.
-website development(in development mode)www.chooseyour waybellevue.org
Besides the involvement of Bellevue and the state, King County Metro and Sound Transit are all getting into the act.
Projections are for employment in downtown Bellevue to increase dramatically. With the number of new condominiums being built, residency in the downtown core will also be on the rise. It’s great to be looking at the downtown core traffic issues now.
