A
Welcome
back
everybody
resuming
our
regular
session
clerk.
Could
you
please
call
the
role
mayor
robinson
here.
C
C
D
B
E
Yes,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation
indivisible
under
god,
with
liberty,.
A
A
This
person
has
just
been
an
integral
part
of
our
council.
She
was
a
council
member
at
one.
Time
has
gotten
to
know
every
person
that
you
need
to
know
in
order
to
move
policy
forward,
she's
very
well
respected
in
olympia
and
in
the
whole
region,
and
if
you
think
that
bellevue
has
done
well
politically,
regionally
and
nationally,
it
is
because
of
this
person
working
for
our
city.
A
I've
got
to
find
the
commendation
in
just
a
second
all
right
here
we
go,
whereas
joyce
nichols
has
provided
vital
service
to
the
city
of
bellevue
for
14
years,
including
serving
as
director
of
intergovernmental
relations
since
2011
and
whereas
joyce
was
already
experienced
in
both
communications
and
government
relations
when
she
arrived
here,
notably
having
managed
one
or
the
other,
or
both
functions
at
weyerhaeuser,
the
puget,
sound
water
quality
authority
and
the
cities
of
seattle
and
shoreline,
and
whereas
she
started
working
for
bellevue
in
2007
as
policy
advisor
for
the
utilities
department
and
whereas
during
her
tenure
as
intergovernmental
relations,
director
joyce
worked
tirelessly
with
city
state
and
federal
elected
officials
to
advance
critical
transportation
projects.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
mayor
lynn,
robinson
on
behalf
of
the
bellevue
city
council,
due
this
17th
day
of
may
in
the
year
2021
hereby
commend
joyce
nichols
for
her
professionalism,
dedication
and
long-standing
service
to
the
bellevue
community,
and
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
would
like
to
talk,
and
so
who
would
like
to
begin?
Shall
we
start
with
council
members
on
and
then
I'll
just
go
in
or
order
I'll
call.
You
go
ahead.
Council
members
on.
F
F
In
fact,
I
I
would
think
it's
a
little
bit
like
hurting
cats,
dogs
and
all
all
the
species
and
of
just
all
of
the
the
ideas
and
trying
to
get
everyone
to
come
together
towards
finding
solutions
around
policy
and
no
city
can
get
the
work
done
ourselves,
and
so
the
ability
to
work,
regionally
and
and
find
common
ground
in
solutions
is
just
so
key
and
you've
been
the
instrumental
in
getting
all
of
that
done
for
the
city
of
bellevue.
F
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I
wish
you
well
in
retirement,
whatever
you
might
be
doing,
hopefully
you'll,
think
of
us
periodically
and
and
sticky
policy
issues
and
don't
be
a
stranger
and
enjoy
your
your
retirement.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
robertson,.
G
Thanks
wow
yeah,
I'm
really
really
disappointed
to
see
joyce
leave
the
city,
but
I
know
that
she's
earned
her
retirement
very
well,
and
I
you
know
I
boy
it's
you've
been
here
as
long
as
I've
been
on
the
council
and
beyond,
and
I
remember
when
brad
elevated
you
to
director-
and
I
thought
it
was
just
such
a
great
move,
because
I
knew
you'd
just
excel
in
that
role
and
you
have
whether
it's
making
sure
that
council
members
are
really
well
staffed
at
committees.
G
I
know
you
did
a
lot
of
personal
touches
on
to
make
sure
that
we
were
staffed
well,
making
sure
we
went
to
olympia
and,
had
you
know,
good
speaking
notes,
and
you
know
telling
us
who
to
talk
to
when
to
talk
to
has
just
been
integral
in
making
bellevue
as
successful
as
it
is,
and
how
helping
us
succeed
as
a
body
on
the
state
in
the
state
and
regional
levels.
So
I
mean
I
it's
been
said
before
me,
but
I
just
I'm
so
sorry
to
see
you
go
you've
been
one
of
my.
G
You
know.
Most
trusted
advisors
here
at
the
city
of
bellevue
and
it's
your
your
very,
very
small
and
very
fashionable
shoes
will
be
very
difficult
to
film.
So
I
wish
you
much
travel
across
the
world
as
the
pandemic
comes
to
an
end
and
much
joy
and
long
long
years
in
retirement.
E
Yeah
this
is,
I
agree
with
those
comments
and
I
having
retired
and
everybody
you
know
goes
through
that.
It's
not,
I
don't
feel
I'm
not
sorry,
you're
retiring,
I'm
sorry,
you're
leaving
us
and
in
this
you
know
position,
but
I'm
really
happy
for
you
and
I
know
you're
going
to
be
doing
other
things
and
contributing
and
you're
still
going
to
be
a
part
of
of
our
community,
and
I
think
that's
that's.
What's
really
important.
E
I
will
miss
a
lot
of
things,
including
all
the
work
on
you
know
various
committees
and
regional
committees
and
just
being
able
to
sit
down
and
talk
to
you
and
talk
things
out
and
get
some
advice.
Because
of
all
your
wisdom
and
your
experience
and,
frankly
your
your
approach
to
things
I
mean,
I
there's
just
that
good
connection
that
that
I
will
miss
and
I'll
miss
the.
E
Chocolates,
that's
something
I
missed
quite
a
bit
with
this
coconut,
so
I
had
to
you
know
you
have
to
substitute,
and
I
will
never
forget
the
calendars
of
the
high-heeled
shoes
and
what's
the
movie
there,
that
that
was
that
was
featured
in
anyhow,
these
these
personal
things
that
make
you
more
than
just
somebody
who's
a
you
know.
A
staff
person
telling
us
about
this
and
that
and
working
with
us,
but
you're
a
you're,
a
real
human
being
and
you've
really
contributed
to
this
city,
and
I
will
miss
you
in
this
capacity.
E
But
I
look
forward
to
talking
with
you
going
on
so
happy,
happy
new
trails
to
you
and
we
love
you
and
we'll
we'll
all
be
in
touch.
Thank
you,
deputy.
A
H
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah
joyce,
I'm
not
sure.
I
can
add
too
much
more
on
to
what's
already
been
said.
We
are
all
going
to
all
going
to
miss
you
and
you've
been
such
a
such
a
pillar
of
this
of
this
team
yeah.
H
You
really
are
and
I'm
it
and
I
think
it's
gonna
be
very
challenging
for
us
to
find
someone
to
to
fill
your
shoes
and,
but
I'm
so
excited
for
you
and
the
road
ahead
and
and
and
for
your
retirement
and
all
the
wonderful
things
that
you're
going
to
do
and
enjoy,
and
I
hope
that
you'll
won't
be
a
stranger,
and
I
too,
with
this
really
miss
your
your
your
counsel,
your
incredible
memory
of
past
legislation
and
votes
and
and
and
regional
issues
and
state
issues
and
again
you've
just
been
such
an
asset
to
us
as
a
as
a
council,
but
just
for
the
city
of
bellevue.
J
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
so
joyce,
I
so
in
the
year
or
a
year
and
a
half
that
I've
been
on
council,
and
I
think
the
moment
when
I
saw
what
everyone
was
talking
about
was
when
we
were
going
over
the
legislative
agenda
and
and
just
seeing
how
you
worked
with
everybody,
to
bring
priorities
and
interests
together
into
a
shared
platform.
J
And
so
I
really
really
appreciated
your
approach
to
that
and
also
had
a
chance
to
work
closely
with
you
on
the
willamore
project
and
through
the
flood
control
district
and
really
valued
your
guidance
through
that
work
as
well.
So
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
many
years
of
contribution
to
the
city
and
you
hope
to
stay
in
touch.
D
Thank
you
very
mayor.
Well,
I
hope
you
are
leaving
the
best
to
the
last
to
say
what
I
can
about
joyce.
It's
a
sad
thing
to
see
her
go
obviously
we're
so
used
to
her
and
but,
at
the
same
time,
we're
blessed
when
she
came
to
bellevue.
She
brought
a
bundle,
a
bunch
of
experience
and
knowledge
and
the
ability
to
get
things
done,
she's
able
to
get
things
done
with
our
own
council
members
and
staffs.
D
You
know
how
tough
it
is
to
hurt
a
bunch
of
loose
cats
right
making
them
to
agree
on
something
and
she's
done
that
with
not
just
us,
but
with
the
state
legislatures.
You
know
with
the
county
with
all
the
other
local
officials.
That's
not
easy!
It's
hard
to
just
do
one
individual,
you
like
the
artificial,
but
to
do
it
consistently
and
she
knows
how
to
make
compromises.
D
She
knows
how
to
work
with
people
from
all
colors
and
stripes
and
philosophies
and
parties,
and
she
was
able
to
do
it
by
finding
common
common
ground
and
there's
a
lot
of
things.
We
don't
know
that
she
defend
ourselves.
The
city
of
bellevue
against
unmen
amended
unfunded
mainly
a
lot
of
things.
She
probably
deflected
before
even
know.
What's
going
to
happen
and
when
we
have
questions
we
ask
her,
she
has
experienced
the
wisdom
and
her
knowledge
of
what's
going
on
to
really
help
us,
so
this
is
invaluable.
D
D
It's
a
good
thing
that
I
don't
have
office
in
the
city
hall,
otherwise
you
probably
won't
see
any
of
that
left
anyway,
so
we'll
miss
you
joyce,
but
at
the
same
time
you
well
deserve.
D
What's
due
to
you
and
so
have
a
great
great
great
short
retirement,
and
I
know
you'll
be
back
even
if
you
don't
we'll
be
you
know,
I
I've
always
been
done.
I
serve
for
many
regional
committees
and
always
depend
on
you
giving
me
true
advice
and
nothing
not
getting
me
and
the
city
into
trouble.
That's
another
thing!
You
keep
us
out
of
trouble.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
And
I
know
our
city
manager,
mr
miyaki
would
like
to
say
something
as
well.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
geez
joyce,
it's
hard
to
believe
that
you're
actually
leaving
us.
I
feel
like
I'm
in
a
bad
nightmare
right
now,
and
I'm
hoping
to
wake
up
to
see
you
still
here
and
you
would
be
here
and
but
just
on
behalf
of
the
city's
leadership
team
and
the
staff.
K
You
know
a
lot
has
been
said
about
joyce
and
her
work
on
the
regional
front,
but
she's
also
done
a
lot
of
work
and
really
strategically
crafting
policy
on
many
of
the
high
priority
issues
that
the
city
has
faced
and
on
a
more
of
a
personal
note,
I
want
to
thank
joyce,
honor,
wise
counsel
and
support
to
me
as
the
city
manager,
but
also
as
a
friend
since
our
careers
began
together
here
with
the
city,
so
I'm
gonna
miss
you
deeply
joyce
and
I
know
our
past
will
cross
again
in
the
future,
but
you
know
again
just
thank
you
so
much
for
your
many
years
of
service
and
again
on
the
more
personal
note,
dear
support
of
me.
I
At
the
bare
minimum,
I
want
to
give
you
a
legislative
update
and
once
we're
done
with
that,
I
can
get
into
the
business
of
saying.
Thank
you.
Your
your
words
are
very
kind,
and
nobody
ever
does
it
by
themselves,
and
I've
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
over
the
years.
Many
talented
individuals
in
the
public
sector,
the
private
sector
and
it's
always
been
a
team.
I
You
know
you
you
make
relationships
and
if
you're
lucky
those
people
kind
of
go
at
the
same
pace
you
do,
and
by
the
time
you
get
to
places
where
you
can
really
have
some
influence.
Those
people
are
there
with
you
and
that's
something
that
I
have
treasured
and
I've
always
had
great
bosses
and
brad
is
among
the
very
best
of
those,
and
the
thing
that
I
would
like
to
say
most
is
how
much
of
a
privilege
it's
been
for
me
to
work
with
you,
because
what
you
do
is
mostly
unseen.
I
The
real
work
is
the
effort
you
put
into
things
that
time
you
spend
thinking
about
your
constituents
and,
what's
going
to
work
for
them,
and
I
think
all
of
you
keep
the
public
benefit
at
the
front
of
what
you
do
and
that's
what
makes
my
job
worth
doing
is
that
I
know
you're
behind
the
scenes
and
in
the
front
as
well
doing
the
work
of
public
policy.
That's
really
hard
and
believe
me,
I
understand
your
dedication.
I
was
thinking
the
other
day
that
if
you
serve
a
four-year
term,
you
probably
in
packet
material,
have
read.
I
I
also
think
that
public
service
is,
you
know,
a
real
real
good
thing
to
do,
and
I
think
good
public
servants,
like
we
have
in
bellevue
help
make
us
more
compassionate
and
help
us
understand
the
needs
of
the
people
in
our
community,
and
I
applaud
you
for
your
service
and,
lastly,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
my
husband
and
my
family.
I
You
can
go
wrong
with
you
guys
at
the
helm
and
brad,
and
I
just
want
to
again
thank
you
for
all
the
good
memories
that
I'll
have
and
every
monday
night
I
pledge,
I
will
think
of
you
so,
and
that
is
a
stranger
and
council
member
lee.
I'm
really
hoping
for
a
long
retirement,
not
a
short
retirement.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
we
have
another
proclamation,
this
time,
councilmember
robertson.
Would
you
like
to
read
the
public
works
week?
Proclamation.
G
I
was
trying
to
get
my
mute
off
the
kind
of
commendation
or
the
the
proclamation
was
over
my
screen,
and
then
I
couldn't
get
the
meat
off
all
right
proclamation
for
public
works
week,
whereas
public
works
services
provided
in
our
community
play
an
integral
part
in
the
day-to-day
lives
of
our
residents
and
businesses.
A
A
Thank
you
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
I
any
opposed
okay
that
passes
so
now
we're
on
to
approving
the
amended
agenda.
Do
I
have
a
motion.
A
B
L
L
In
our
letter,
we
have
four
key
positions
that
I'd
like
to
outline
or
to
voice
this
evening
number
one.
We
support
the
update.
Our
members
are
very
excited
to
see
the
grant
connection
move
forward
with
these
improvements
that
will
enhance
wayfinding,
placemaking
and
gathering
number
two.
We
support
the
timing
of
this
code
amendment
adoption
this
summer.
L
Completing
this
work
provides
certainty
on
next
steps
for
stakeholders
and
the
city,
and
it
also
creates
the
bandwidth
necessary
to
address
some
of
those
big
ticket
land
use
initiatives
like
east
main
wilburton
and
the
grant
connection
lid
park
feasibility
study
number
three.
We
support
the
use
of
rooms
in
the
code
to
help
distinguish
segments
of
the
grain
connection
route.
It
reflects
the
sequence
one
vision
and
allows
property
owners
the
creative
flexibility
to
develop
within
their
built
environment.
L
Please
reference
our
letter
for
some
additional
notes
regarding
code
suggestions,
concerns
and
clarity
and,
lastly,
number
four:
we
recommend
the
city
explorer
approaches
to
completing
the
build
out
of
the
grant
connection
vision,
as
you
may
be
well
aware
of
completing
the
grant,
connection
or
segments
of
it
requires
private
development
and
not
all
properties
along
the
grant.
Connection
are
set
to
redevelop
and,
in
fact,
a
lot
of
our
those
buildings.
They're
big
and
they're.
Beautiful
and
they've
got
great
plazas.
So
what
is
the
incentive
for
a
property
to
participate
in
the
grant
connection?
L
And
what
does
it
mean
when
you
have?
You
know?
One
or
two
properties
right
now
using
the
code
to
implement
new
designs
when
you
have
old
designs
in
place,
so
the
bda
is
more
than
happy
and
willing
to
work
with
the
city
to
figure
out
this.
This
challenge,
this
is
a
fun
challenge
to
see
how
we
can
get
the
grant
connection
built
out
in
a
timely
manner.
So
with
that
said,
I
really
appreciate
your
attention
this
evening
and
your
leadership
on
this
issue
and
enjoy
your
time.
Thank
you.
B
K
I'm
very
pleased
to
inform
the
council
that
amazon
has
once
again
made
a
very
generous
donation
in
the
tune
of
1
million
439
thousand
dollars
to
the
city
of
bellevue,
1
million
of
that
which
will
go
to
our
human
services
fund.
289
000
of
that
will
support
six
community
identified,
neighborhood
enhancement
projects
and
150
000
dollars
that
will
go
towards
three
parks
improvement
projects
joining
us
this
evening
is
brian
huseman,
who
is
the
vice
president
for
public
policy
for
amazon
for
further
comment
on
this
matter,
so
brian.
M
Yeah
hi
there
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyagi
and
mayor
robinson
and
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
and
all
the
council
members,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
I'm
brian
huzman
vice
president
of
public
policy
at
amazon
and
I'm
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
speak
with
you
again
like
I
was
able
to
do
last
september,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
all
your
leadership
and
service
that
you've
you've
done
for
the
the
city
and
the
whole
region
over
the
past
year.
M
You
know,
since
amazon's
announcement
last
year
that
we
are
creating
25
000
jobs
in
bellevue,
we've
successfully
broken
ground
and
we
started
construction
on
our
bellevue
600
project.
We're
really
excited
by
this
project.
It's
going
to
have
retail
and
park
space
and
daycare
facilities,
and
it
will
align
with
the
city's
grand
connection
vision.
And
you
know
many
of
the
features
in
the
project
are
inspired
by
what
attracted
amazon
to
come
to
bellevue
in
the
first
place.
M
It's
a
great
quality
of
life
and
a
fantastic
talent
pool
a
business
friendly
environment
and
great
amenities,
and,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned
last
year,
we
were
able
to
make
a
one
million
dollar
donation
to
the
human
services
fund,
and
we
were
so
impressed
by
how
the
funding
was
really
thoughtfully
allocated
into
over
40
nonprofit
organizations
and
those
organizations
provide.
You
know
very
critical
services
to
both
your
families,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
and
we're
also
we're
very
excited.
You
know
this
year
recognizing
that
we're
still
an
extraordinary
times
and
there's
still
many
people.
M
Many
of
our
neighbors
that
are
in
need
we're
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
make
over
a
1.4
million
dollar
donation,
to
supplement
the
human
services
fund
and
to
support
neighborhood
and
park
projects
in
bellevue
and,
as
the
you
know,
the
city
manager
I
mentioned.
You
know
we
think
that
neighborhood
and
park
projects
are
incredibly
important.
You
know
the
need
for
outdoor
recreation
and
opportunities
for
children
and
adults
is
is
more
needed
than
ever.
As
the
the
past
year
has.
M
You
know
made
us
known
and
balancing
bellevue's,
exciting
growth
while
still
maintaining
the
high
quality
of
life.
It's
gonna
be
a
challenge
and
we
think
it
will
require
public
partner,
public
private
partnerships
like
the
one
that
amazon
and
bellevue
has
and
we're
excited
to
work
with
you
all
on
that
just
additionally,
at
amazon,
we
believe
that
all
people
should
have
access
to
housing
that
they
can
afford.
M
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
city
and
community
leaders
to
preserve
and
build
more
affordable
housing
through
amazon's
two
billion
dollar
housing
equity
fund
that
we
announced
earlier
this
year.
We
also
want
to
work
with
you
to
advocate
on
public
policies
that
can
provide
and
enable
more
affordable
housing
supply
in
bellevue.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
on
behalf
of
amazon
for
the
time
to
speak
on
tonight's
agenda.
M

Just
by

you
for
the
introduction
city
manager
miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy

new
in-house
and
members
of

N
The
staff
team
and
planning
commission
who've
been
working
on
the
grant
connection,
design
guidelines
and
standards
are
very
excited
to
introduce
council
to
the
recommended
land
use
code.
Amendment
for
sequence.
One
we've
reached
a
significant
milestone
tonight
tonight,
you'll
hear
about
the
robust
stakeholder
engagement
and
process
that
went
into
developing
the
guidelines,
as
well
as
the
planning
commission
discussion
that
occurred
in
forming
the
recommendation,
bringing
brought
forward
to
council
next
slide.
Please.
N
By
way
of
introduction,
I'd
like
to
please
offer
some
context
for
tonight's
discussion.
The
grand
connection
is
envisioned
as
one
of
the
city's
key
place-making
features
and
must-see
amenities
in
bellevue,
as
described
in
the
council
vision
and
framework
plans.
The
grant
connection
is
a
key
part
of
bellevue
being
a
livable
city
and
supporting
the
economic
development
and
mobility
for
residents,
workers
and
visitors.
N
The
overall
grant
connection,
as
shown
on
this
graphic,
will
be
implemented
in
phases.
The
design
guidelines,
which
are
the
focus
for
tonight
dovetail
nicely
with
other
current
and
future
implementation
efforts
complementing
the
design
guidelines.
Implementation
of
the
grand
connection
is
well
underway
on
a
number
of
other
fronts.
N
For
example,
see
the
investment
on
the
new
northeast
entry
to
downtown
park.
That
is
part
of
the
grant.
Connection
is
under
construction
right
now.
Significant
efforts
also
occurred
both
pre-covered
and
in
response
to
covid,
to
help
enliven
parts
of
the
grant
connection
with
outdoor
dining
and
seating
things
to
look
forward
to
our
future
work
on
the
grant
connection,
including
sequence,
2
design,
guidelines
and
discussion
of
the
civic
center
area
in
and
around
city
hall,
as
well
as
ideas
for
connecting
downtown
to
the
wolverton
area.
N
O
Sorry
about
that,
I
thought
I
had
unmuted,
but
I
didn't
so.
I
apologize
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
having
us
here,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
step
council
members.
We're
really
excited
about
this.
This
is
putting
into
action
a
lot
of
hard
work
over
a
lot
of
years
and
also
really
great
collaborative
effort
between
the
community
development
department
and
development
services
department.
O
We
have
been
working
on
this
for
years
as
I've
mentioned,
and
we've
had
some
projects
that
are
starting
to
use
some
of
these
guidelines
even
prior
to
adoption
to
help
us
along,
which
has
been
exciting.
So
michael
austin
will
be
showing
you
a
little
bit
more
about
that
as
we
move
through
this
one
of
the
nicest
things
about
these
guidelines
is
they
provide
very
clear
direction
for
our
applicants
and
one,
and
they
also
put
these
guidelines
into
the
land
use
code.
O
The
guidelines
are
helping
us
create
the
vision.
The
guidelines
are
generally
not
very
static
in
nature.
They
do
not
have
a
lot
of
dimensional
standards
but
they're
more
about
creating
a
vision.
So
you'll
hear
more
about
that.
As
michael
continues,
his
presentation,
the
direction
we're
looking
for
tonight
is.
We
are
seeking
council
direction
to
prepare
the
luca
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting.
O
Christina
can
go
the
next
slide.
We
do
have
an
agenda
tonight,
the
grand
connection
initiative,
and
then
we
are
going
to
have
the
planning
commission
recommendation
for
you
and
that
will
be
chair,
mulgov
carr.
Who
will
come
and
speak
with
you
in
just
one
moment.
Then
we
will
michael
and
christina
will
walk
you
through
the
secant
sequence,
one
guidelines
and
standards
for
the
land
use
code.
O
Amendment
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
a
bit
about
the
outreach
and
engagement
that
we've
had
to
date
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
structure
of
the
land
use
code
amendment
and
then
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
direction
we
need
moving
forward.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
pass
this
on
to
your
chairman
of
carr
who's,
going
to
speak
about
the
planning
commission
recommendation.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
thanks
for
having
me
yes,
so
the
bellevue
planning
commission
is
pleased
to
provide
our
recommendation
for
the
grand
connection
sequence,
one
guidelines
and
standard
land
use
code
amendment.
The
planning
commission
received
two
informational
briefings
for
this
luca
on
january
22nd
and
june
24th
in
2020,
and
then
further
review
the
luca
and
two
study
sessions
on
march
10th
and
march
24th,
as
well
as
at
the
public
hearing
on
april
28th.
P
In
particular,
the
planning
commission
discussed
and
expressed
support
for
emphasizing
cultural
diversity
with
artistic
elements
such
as
acknowledgement
of
japanese-american
or
indigenous
histories,
particularly
giving
the
racially
diverse
context
of
the
bellevue
community.
The
communication
also
expressed
desire
to
promote
activation
strategies,
such
as
a
walk
run
and
increase
promotion
signage
across
the
city
to
direct
residents.
P
Q
All
right,
thank
you,
chairman,
gobcart
and
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name
is
michael
austin,
and
it's
been
my
pleasure
to
help
facilitate
this
process,
along
with
other
departments
and
a
very
collaborative
approach
to
the
grant
connection
sequence,
one
guidelines
and
standards,
land
use
code,
amendment
which
is
the
longest
title
that
we
all
love
to
say
over
and
over
again
on
here,
so
just
to
establish
a
little
bit
of
context
of
how
this
fits
in
as
emil
and
liz
did
note
earlier
in
the
larger
grand
connection
kind
of
scheme
of
things.
Q
This
is
kind
of
one
slide,
just
exemplifying
that
this
is
really
just
one
little
puzzle
piece
that
fits
in
to
the
complexity
that
is
implementing
the
vision
of
the
grand
connection.
So
you
know
in
2017
and
2018
council
did
see
the
adoption
of
the
grand
connection
framework
plan
and
that
was
split
between
both
sequence,
1
and
2017
and
sequence
2
in
2018,
and
what
that
vision
did.
Q
Was
it
provided
that
kind
of
high
level
guidance
that
we
all
see
today
and
recognize
in
many
different
renderings
and
illustrations
of
what
could
be
as
the
grand
connection
route
kind
of
takes?
Its
place
linking
maidenbar
bay
park
with
east
rail,
what
we
see
below
are
some
implementation
strategies
that
help
us
get
to
that
vision
itself.
Some
are
more
regulatory
nature.
Some
are
more
tactical
in
nature.
Q
Some
are
focused
on
activation,
and
these
design
guidelines
and
standards
are
just
one
small
piece
of
that
larger
puzzle
on
here,
and
this
may
not
be
the
only
luca
that
ever
takes
place
for
the
grand
connection.
There
may
be
many
others,
but
at
least
right
now.
This
is
that
puzzle
piece
that
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
can
have
as
there
as
liz
mentioned.
Q
There
are
a
number
of
active
projects
in
downtown
alone
that
we've
been
able
to
collaborate
with
to
make
sure
we
can
get
these
guidelines
to
to
work
for
both
their
products
and
for
any
future
products
that
are
already
already
taking
shape
on
here,
but
just
to
highlight
a
few
other
elements.
There's
also
downtown
code,
land
use
code,
amendments
in
general,
which
also
contain
some
grand
connection
guidance
as
many
streets
fall
within
that
area.
We
also
have
updated
wayfinding
signage,
that
maybe
it's
its
own
separate
study.
Q
The
downtown
park
entry
that
emil
mentioned,
which
is
underway,
made
mar
bay
park,
which
of
course
is
its
own,
very
exciting,
very
complex
initiative
and
then
even
the
east.
Rail
integration
is
its
own
very
complex
piece.
So
these
design
guideline
standards
just
for
sequence,
one
which
goes
from
old
bellevue
up
to
the
transit
center,
is
just
going
to
be
one
more
kind
of
puzzle
piece
to
this
larger
element.
Q
This
is
just
to
highlight
that
and
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
here,
and
so
we
do
recognize,
there's
a
lot
of
text
on
the
screen,
but
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
things
from
here.
So
again,
this
land
use
code,
amendment
or
luca
is
really
focused
from
old
bellevue
at
the
intersection
of
main
street
and
100th
avenue
up
through
downtown
park
up
bellevue
way
and
then
over
into
what
we
all
know
today
as
the
pedestrian
corridor
along
northeast
sixth
street
and
then
sequence.
Q
One
ends
at
the
intersection
of
110th
and
northeast
sixth
street
on
here.
Everything
further
to
the
east
of
that.
So,
as
you
move
down
into
the
city
hall
made
in
our
center
area,
is
what
we
call
the
civic
center
site
and
then,
of
course,
as
we
know,
there's
this
very
potential
for
this
I-405
lid
concept
and
then
the
grand
connection
does,
of
course,
terminate
at
east
rail,
which
is
this
other
very
exciting
initiative
taking
place.
Q
But
all
those
elements
are
under
the
sequence
ii
umbrella,
as
recognized
by
the
2018
framework
plan
for
sequence,
2
and
with
it,
as
you
can
see,
there's
just
a
number
of
significant
complexities
and
conversations
that
will
also
take
place
just
within
those
areas.
We
also
have
the
wilberton
land
use
code
of
policy
of
work
that
will
take
place
within
the
wolverton
area
alone,
so
civic
center
I-405
wilberton
east
rail.
Q
So
the
next
slide
identifies
a
few
things
about
the
objectives
overall.
For
this
one
is
our
general
one
is
just
implement
the
applicable
elements
of
the
framework
plan
for
the
grand
connection
and
the
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
or
cpa.
The
other
is
just
updating
the
pedestrian
corridor
and
major
public
open
space
design,
guidelines
and
land
use
code
to
reflect
the
grand
connection
vision
again,
a
very
long
title.
Q
We
really
love
long
titles-
I
guess,
but
this
is
a
as
liz
said,
is
a
76
page
document,
and
that
is
a
significant
amount
of
text
to
go
through
for
design
teams,
developers
and
staff
in
addition
to
the
land
use
code
guidelines
that
we
also
have,
which
are
also
significant
and
then
the
most
fun
part
of
this
whole
experience
really
is
removing
any
redundant
guidelines
and
simplifying
content.
Q
Where
possible,
we
want
to
streamline
review
and
this
process
in
terms
of
what
design
teams,
design
staff
have
to
kind
of
weed
through
and
really
get
down
to.
What
are
those
key
elements
that
make
the
grand
connection
cohesive?
What
are
the
key
elements
that
make
every
room
that
christine
will
speak
about
along
the
grand
connection
feel
a
little
bit
unique,
and
how
can
we
do
it
without
making
people?
Q
Look
that
76
pages
of
text
all
through
that
meantime
on
here,
and
so
the
next
slide
identifies
just
a
recap
and
a
refresh
on
what
design
guidelines
and
what
design
standards
are.
It's
a
really
fun
element
of
area
to
be
working
in,
because
it
can
be
very
interesting.
They
have
to
be
tailored
for
every
city.
Q
Every
agency,
every
place
you're
in
they're,
always
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different
because
they
have
to
be
customized,
but
in
general,
they're,
typically
thought
of
in
three
different
ways:
one
is
they're
an
implementation
tool
for
the
goals
and
the
values
of
the
comp
plan.
The
other
is
that
they
do
strive
to
promote
design
excellence
in
our
community
and
that's
actually
something.
That's
really
key
is
because
they
really
go
to
really
encourage
design
teams
to
go
that
extra
mile
in
design
process,
which
is
very
exciting
and
then
the
last
element
is.
Q
It
just
provides
a
great
common
set
of
language
to
allow
for
that
dialogue
between
the
public,
the
city
and
developers
to
for
active
and
potential
projects
on
here
and
what's
been
really
fantastic
about
this
project
in
particular,
is
we've
done
a
lot
of
engagement
and
collaboration
with
active
projects
and
design
teams
and
staff
internally
to
really
make
sure
that
that
dialogue
not
only
feels
supported
and
cohesive,
but
it
really
works
for
everyone
across
all
sides
on
these
projects.
Q
So
this
slide
just
highlights
just
one
example
of
where
this
kind
of
falls.
So
if
there's
an
active
project
within
downtown
along
sequence,
one
what
parts
of
it
do
you
apply
to
the
grand
connection-
and
this
is
really
important
to
look
at
because,
as
we
all
know,
and
as
noted
previously
again,
this
is
that
kind
of
puzzle.
Piece
to
that
fits
within
that
larger
grand
connection
element.
So
some
elements
of
the
grant
connection
are
implemented
through
changes
to
right-of-way
standards.
Q
Some
elements
are
implemented
that
focus
on
activation,
that
matt
jack
talked
about,
and
our
friends
of
the
bda
in
general
have
really
been
such
a
great
partner
with
in
this
process,
and
then
in
this
case,
with
these
design
guidelines.
There
really
are
this
very
focused
kind
of
strip
of
pedestrian
space
and
that
kind
of
relationship
between
the
pedestrian
zone
that
you
see
on
the
sidewalk
and
the
architecture
itself.
So
that
is
this
kind
of
sliver.
That's
a
really
great
area
that
these
design
guidelines
are
really
tailored
on.
Q
We
also
have
downtown
design
guidelines
that
focus
on
the
the
rest
of
the
building
and
the
site
itself.
This
example
is
bellevue
600,
which
we
all
are
very
familiar
with
and
excited
about,
and
we're
really
happy
to
actually
kind
of
show
this
one
as
an
example,
because
this
is
one
project
that
we've
actually
done
a
lot
of
collaboration
and
testing
on
this
language
with
and
we're
actually
going
to
see
that
kind
of
the
results
of
all
that
hard
work
as
it
goes
under
construction.
So
we're
all
very
excited
about
that
across
all
sides.
Q
The
next
slide
identifies
you
know.
How
did
we
actually
get
to
where
we
are
today
on
here
so
to
in
order
to
actually
make
this
process
really
successful?
We
knew
right
away
that
it
had
to
work
both
internally
with
our
design
review
team
members.
It
had
to
work
externally
with
all
the
individuals
who
are
interested
in
doing
active
projects
along
the
grand
connection
on
here.
Q
So
in
order
to
do
so
at
a
time
when
we
have
thankfully
been
and
continued
to
be
very
busy,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
are
testing
this
throughout
the
entire
duration
of
this
update
process
with
active
projects,
and
luckily
we
had
a
number
of
active
projects
to
to
work
on
that
language
with
and
make
sure
that
it
is
customized
for
everyone.
Q
This
was
one
part
of
that
larger
grand
connection,
vision
on
there
and
making
sure
that
they
also
had
opportunities
to
provide
input
and
then
the
other
key
element
was
towards
the
spring,
actually,
which
was
the
focus
groups,
and
that's
that
kind
of
green
bar
that
you
see
below
the
pink
one
and
that's
really
the
key
element
where
we
had
done
multiple
iterations
and
drafts
of
this
grand
connection,
land
use
code-
and
this
was
the
part
to
really
fine-tune
that
language
with
multiple
design
teams
all
in
one
space
on
here.
Q
So
in
addition
to
just
the
overall
kind
of
element
of
going
throughout
this
process
internally,
we
had
to
consider
all
of
our
stakeholders
on
the
external
side
of
things,
whether
they're
in
the
design
or
the
development
community
as
equal
partners
in
this
process
and
then
really
bring
everyone
together
into
those
focus
groups.
To
make
sure
that
the
luca
that
we
are
presenting
with
you
today
really
is
the
exemplification
of
all
that
hard
work
with
everyone
across
multiple
touch
points.
Multiple
projects
on
here
and
now
we
are
here
today
on
may
17th.
Q
R
Thank
you,
michael,
so
as
michael
introduced
we're
starting
to
talk
about
the
schedule
and
the
point
where
the
development
services
team
started
to
come
in
and
collaborate
most
intensively
with
community
development,
and
so
the
the
luca
draft
that
we're
going
to
be
presenting
today
is
informed
by
this
outreach.
That
michael
has
explained,
as
well
as
the
engagement
with
our
planning
commission
a
bit
more
detail
on
our
specific
outreach
and
engagement
methods.
R
First,
as
a
as
a
process
for
project,
we
completed
the
requirements
dictated
there
for
noticing
of
our
application
in
cipa,
as
well
as
holding
a
public
hearing
with
the
planning
commission,
but
we
did
go
beyond
those
basic
requirements.
In
this
case,
we
all
we
did
look
back
to
the
engagement
that
informed
the
2017
to
2018
framework
plan
which
structured
provided
the
structure
for
this
luca.
R
As
michael
mentioned,
we
did
ongoing
testing
with
active
projects
moving
through
the
development
cycle
to
make
sure
that
our
proposals
were
grounded.
In
reality,
we
conducted
external
focus
groups
with
grand
connection
stakeholders
to
provide
direct
feedback
on
components
of
the
luca
and
or
incorporate
that
into
our
draft.
R
We
had
internal
focus
groups
with
our
design
review
staff
to
get
the
perspective
as
well
from
the
individuals
who
will
actually
be
implementing
these
design
guidelines
and
working
with
the
design
teams.
On
the
other
side,
we
held
briefings
with
the
bellevue,
downtown
association,
land
use
and
livability
committee,
as
well
as
briefings
with
the
transportation
committing
commission
and
parks
board
briefings
as
well.
R
So
at
this
stage,
we'll
start
to
walk
through
some
of
the
more
specific
components
of
the
luca,
and
while
we
have
additional
conformance
amendments
which
I'll
explain
shortly,
the
core
of
the
content
here
is
going
in
this
new
section.
2025
a
175
in
this
section,
as
previously
mentioned,
will
replace
our
previous
pedestrian
guidelines
to
provide
a
much
more
concise,
usable,
clear
guidance
to
design
teams.
R
So
we
do
have
five
sections.
The
first
general
section
establishes
some
basic
foundations
to
support
the
the
grand
connection
general
requirements,
public
access,
open
hours,
that
sort
of
thing
section
b,
grand
connection,
defines
what
the
grand
connection
is,
where
it
is
how
the
review
process
works.
Basic
maintenance:
the
major
public
open
spaces
section
now
describes
what
these
major
public
open
spaces
are,
where
they
will
be
within
the
grand
connection,
as
kind
of
key
anchor
points.
What
sort
of
design
requirements
are
incorporated
and
those
kind
of
basics?
R
R
So
here
we
have
a
map
showing
those
first
seven
rooms
and
they
are
old,
bellevue
downtown
park.
Bellevue
way,
plaza
is
street
compass,
plaza,
garden,
hill,
climb
and
transit
central,
so
that
last
section
I
mentioned
has
specific
guidelines
for
each
of
these
rooms,
reflecting
their
separate
identities,
but
one
important
piece
of
context
as
we're
viewing.
R
The
guidance
for
these
rooms
is
the
use
of
diagrams
in
this
luca,
and
so
here
we
have
one
example
of
a
diagram
from
arluca
and
the
intent
with
these
is
to
show
visually
how
these
design
guidelines
and
standards
could
be
achieved
to
provide
something
representing
the
vision
but
they're
not
intended
to
provide
a
specific
design
they're
intended
to
be
suggestive
and
help
provide
that
visual
context.
R
These
conformance
conformance
amendments
are
intended
to
really
effectively
integrate
this
new
section
within
the
rest
of
the
downtown
code,
primarily
updating
references
to
the
previous
pedestrian
corridor,
replacing
them
with
the
grand
connection,
but
also
reflecting
kind
of
the
the
change
in
approach
with
the
grand
connection.
So
we
have
updating
the
right-of-way
designations
for
a
few
streets
within
the
grand
connection
and
also
incorporating
some
general
cleanups
for
clarity
and
to
correct
cross-references.
O
A
Thank
you.
So
we
have
staff
and
chairman
golf
car
here
for
any
answer
for
any
questions
and
councilmember
barksdale.
You
are
the
liaison
to
the
planning
commission.
So
I'll.
Let
you
go
first,
we'll
go
robertson,
stokes
new
in-house
on
lee
and
then
myself,
councilman
robertsdale.
J
Thank
you
mayor
first
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
commission
for
their
deep
thoughts
and
discussion
on
sequence.
One,
and
I
support
the
recommendation.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
their
engagement
and
the
thoughtfulness
around
the
room's
model.
I
really
like
that
approach
and
especially
because
I
think
it
provides
a
rich
and
varied
experience
along
the
grain
connection,
so
really
excited
about
that.
J
There
are
a
couple
of
points
that
chairman
golf
car
mentioned
that
I
just
wanted
to
amplify,
because
they
were
outside
the
scope
of
the
planning
commission
and
were
more
of
more
policy
focused,
and
that
was
around
the
cultural
sensitivity
and
diversity.
So
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
as
a
topic
of
discussion,
maybe
added
on
to
this,
and
then
the
safety
piece
was
raised
by
one
of
the
commissioners
as
it
relates
to
you
know.
J
So
I
don't
know
if
I
think
it
was
broader
than
just
this
work,
so
I
think
it
may
be
something
to
come
back
separate
from
this,
so
not
amending,
but
I
didn't
know
if,
if
anyone
had
thoughts
that
they
wanted
to
share
now,
maybe
to
tee
up
something
later.
So
I
just.
S
Council
member
bark-
so
maybe
I'll
jump
in
here,
I
think
as
you're
talking
about
inclusivity
and
physical
spaces
and
design,
there's
probably
a
number
of
ways.
We
can
bring
that
back
to
you
so
you're
being
asked
tonight
to
look
at
the
physical
design
which
gets
embedded
into
the
land
use
code
for
implementation.
S
The
concept
I
think
you're
driving
to
is
how
do
we
make
the
city
feel
more
inclusive,
and
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
not
just
with
some
of
the
physical
design
which
creates
the
rooms
that
you
heard
about
from
our
staff,
but
also
how
they'll
be
programmed
and
the
types
of
events
that
will
bring
in
as
many
different
types
of
people
as
possible,
and
so
we
can
work
on
bringing
that
back
to
you,
as
as
part
of
the
place,
making
strategy
that
we
have
through
our
cultural
and
economic
development
division
within
the
department
and
possibly
through
some
of
the
dei
work
too.
J
G
Thank
you
so
just
to
be
clear
if
we
give
direction
to
move
ahead
tonight,
this
will
come
back
just
with
the
land
use
code
amendments
as
proposed
or
unless
council
amendment
and
we'll
pass
them.
G
Is
that
the
yes?
That
is
accurate?
Okay,
so
I
I'm
supportive
of
this
work,
I'm
glad
to
see
it
move
ahead,
so
I
you
know,
I
I
think
the
planning
commission
has
done
a
really
good
job
with
the
help
of
staff
to
come
up
with
a
good
plan.
G
I
do
have
some
questions
that
I'd
like
to
have
addressed
either
tonight
or
in
writing
to
the
council
or
at
the
next
meeting,
and
that
is
the
bda
had
a
very
detailed
letter
with
regard
to
the
code
suggestions
and
they
shared
some
concerns,
particularly
around
paver
standards,
topography,
ada
compliance,
etc.
And
then
they
had
some
comments
about
code
clarity.
G
So
could
I
could
we
get
a
response
to
that?
I
unfortunately
only
saw
this
letter
when
mr
jack
came
and
testified
it
somehow
slipped
under
my
radar,
and
so
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
really
dive
deep
into
it.
But
would
staff
be
able
to
respond
just
to
let
council
know
if
these
issues
have
been
addressed,
how
they're
going
to
be
addressed,
etc?.
O
G
O
Some
of
those
things
really
haven't
been
resolved,
but
in
terms
of
the
code
issues,
I
think
there
was
a
little
clarification
that
they
were
looking
for
in
some
of
the
terms
in
the
code,
but
there
was
nothing
that
was
a
real
surprise
or
a
concerning,
at
least
when
we
looked
at
it
from
staff
perspective
all
right.
Thank
you.
E
You
yeah,
this
is
very
exciting,
I'm
just
thinking
back
to
my
first
year
on
council
in
2012,
going
to
denver
and
the
grand
connection
concept
had
been
around
for
some
time
in
council.
E
It's
amazing
how
long
we've
been
talking
about
this,
but
we've
made
tremendous
strides
and
it's
this
is
I
really
appreciated
seeing
all
of
this
laid
out,
because
I've
had
some
people,
you
know
ask
what's
going
on
with
the
grand
connection
what's
going
on
is
a
lot
of
work,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and
we're
the
vision
we've
had
from
the
beginning.
I
think
has
been
been
right
on
and
the
work
you've
done
has
really
elevated
that
and
really
put
these
connections
together.
E
I
I
think
it's
just
amazing,
so
I'm
really
I'm
happy
with
it.
You
know
we'll
get
into
some
of
the
details
later
as
as
mentioned,
and
I
do
think
that
and
add
on
to
councilman
robertson's
comments.
I
thought
it
was
interesting
of
the
to
think
about.
E
I
know
we've
all
looked
at
in
some
different
ways,
but
the
redevelopment
potential
and
the
the
diversity
so
to
speak
in
all
the
buildings
that
are
here
now
are
going
to
be
here
for
a
while
the
buildings
that
aren't
there,
how
do
they
all
fit
in
and
to
actually
that's
a
lot
of,
I
think
positive
diversity.
How
do
we
integrate
current
buildings
and
help
them
get
molded
into
it,
because
it's
easy
to
come
in
and
say
we're
gonna?
Do
this
bridge
we're
gonna,
do
all
these
new
things.
E
So
it's
that
I
get
the
sense
that
you're
talking
about
how
do
you?
How
do
you
work
them
together
and
make
them
even
a
more
colorful
even
more
exciting
part
of
this
whole
piece?
So
I
think
that's!
That's
really
good!
E
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
know
implementing
the
things
we've
been
talking
about
from
every
every
time.
Bda
goes
on
a
trip
to
another
city.
E
One
of
the
things
we
look
at
is
what
what
can
we
do
on
to
add
to
the
grand
connection
and
going
to
the
last
one,
of
course,
to
dallas
is
and,
and
we've
been
working
across
on
the
grand
grand
connection
itself
for
some
time,
and
I
think
that's
that's
really
exciting-
to
see
that
built
in
and
really
you
know
the
council
said:
let's
go
forward
on
this,
but
integrating
it
into
this
whole
piece
and
it's
going
to
not
only
provide
a
lot
walking
and
everything
else,
but
it's
going
to
tie
us
to
the
other
part
of
bellevue
and
I
think,
just
reminding
me
of
a
movie
called
crossing
de
lansing.
E
E
So
I'm
very
excited
about
it
and
look
forward
to
seeing
how
the
lucas,
you
know
how
spelled
out
and
everything,
I'd
really
appreciate,
particularly
the
artistic
cultural
pieces
that
are
included
in
it
and
that's
very,
very
important
because
that's
what's
going
to
make
it
really
exciting.
So
just
a
great
job.
You
know
I
there
was
a
lot
of
good
work
done
several
years
ago
and
then,
of
course,
you
you
get
the
concept
in
place
and
then
you've
got
to
go
figure
out
the
details
and
you've
really
done
a
tremendous
job.
E
On
that
I
really
applaud
the
staff
and
the
and
the
foresight
and
the
other
pieces
getting
the
community
itself
really
excited
about
this,
so
I
think
we're
we're
going
to
do
it.
That's
what
it
comes
down
to
we're
going
to
make
the
grand
connection,
and
so
this
is
a
huge,
huge
step.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
looking
forward
to
doing
the
you
know
the
process
and
more
detail
work,
but
I
think
we're
right
on
right
on
target
and
going
at
a
good,
hopefully
more
than
just
deliberate
speed.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
yeah.
I
would
echo
some
of
those
previous
comments,
especially
council
member
stokes
there.
It
is
very
exciting
to
get
to
this
point.
We
are
making
great
progress
and
I
really
applaud
the
the
work
of
staff
and
applaud
the
work
of
the
planning
commission
for
doing
some
great
work
and
keep
moving
this
forward.
A
couple
of
quick
questions
and
first
one
in
regards
to
outreach
and
engagement.
H
So
in
terms
of
the
grand
connection
stakeholders,
you
mentioned
a
few
here
in
terms
of
the
the
bda
and
then
transportation
parks
board,
et
cetera,
but
what
other
stakeholders
were
involved
in
this
process
to
date?.
O
R
Thank
you
liz.
I
can
start
and
michael
I'd,
encourage
you
to
jump
in
as
well
having
joined
on
a
little
later,
so
we
mentioned
some
of
those
key
stakeholders.
We
did.
I
know
a
lot
of
the
property
owners
along
the
grand
connection
were
engaged
as
well,
michael
other
major
groups
that
we
can
point
to.
Q
Yeah
so
there's
kind
of
right
from
the
get-go
one
of
the
things
that
we
tried
to
approach
this
from
was
not
only
is
this
about
making
sure
that
it
does
work
internally
with
staff
who
we
do
consider
as
stakeholders,
our
design
review
team
alone.
But
then,
when
it
comes
to
the
external
community,
one
of
the
things
we
noticed
right
away
was
that
there
was
an
enormous
amount
of
community
involvement
that
went
into
the
formation
of
the
framework
plan.
Q
So,
as
we
know,
that
was
a
multi-year
effort
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
all
think
is
very
important
is
the
fact
that,
just
because
the
community
shared
something
three
years
ago
doesn't
mean
that
it
still
isn't
just
as
important
today,
and
so
that's
one
of
those
elements
that
we
probably
didn't
mention
during
the
briefing,
but
still
was
part
of
this
thing.
So
we
went
through
all
the
comments
that
we
collected
from
the
community
members
whether
it
was
talking
about
what
type
of
character
they
want
to
see
at
compass
plaza.
Q
What
do
they
see
it
today?
What
do
they
want
it
to
be
tomorrow?
They
want
it
to
be.
This
kind
of
civic
open
gathering
space
where
there
could
be
festivals
and
events,
where
do
they
want
this
kind
of
green
space
to
be,
and
so
those
kind
of
community-based
comments
were
still
really
important,
because
everything
from
how
the
garden
hill
garden
hill
climb
area
looks
to
be
this
kind
of
lush.
You
know
respite
amidst
this
kind
of
urban
experience
is
based
off
of
what
we
also
heard
from
the
residents
in
the
area.
Q
So
that's
so
really
when
it
comes
to
it.
I
know
it
sounds
like
in
the
briefing
it
was
a
matter
of
just
kind
of
working
with
our
developer
and
design
teams,
which
was
very
essential
for
for
for
many
important
reasons,
but
it
still
is
also
collecting
and
recognizing
all
the
hard
work
and
all
the
comments
from
our
residents
as
well.
Just
in
the
general
community.
H
Great
well,
that's
exactly
what
I
was
looking
for.
So
thank
you
so
much
michael
good
answer
and
then
the
the
other
question
I
have
is
is
in
regards
to
bicycles
now
on
some
of
the
images
here
there
are
no
pictures
of
bikes
and
if
I
remember
correctly,
I
thought
that
was
a
piece
of
the
plan
to
have
this.
Both
a
walkable
and
a
bikeable
grand
connection.
Is
that
still
part
of
the
plan,
or
is
that
being
somehow
lessened
in
terms
of
importance?
H
O
Certainly,
deputy
mayor,
that's
a
great
question.
We
have
tried
to
integrate
both
of
the
you
know.
Multiple
mobility
modes
and
emile
king
is
probably
our
resident
bicycle
expert
that
can
most
most
handily
answer
this
question,
for
you.
N
Sure
so
for
for
the
sequence,
one
area
we've
been
looking
at
bike
connectivity
and
really
a
more
of
a
low
speed
fitting
in
with
the
pedestrian
in
this
area.
So
if
you
think
of
old
bellevue
going
up
through
downtown
park
and
on
the
ped
corridor,
it
will
be
accommodating
to
wheeled
users.
N
There's
also
the
notion
of
thinking
more
broadly
about
the
overall
downtown
area
where
you
might
have
higher
speed
bike
connectivity
on
on
areas
like
the
lake
to
lake
trail
on
main
street,
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
investments
we've
made
on
108th
avenue.
So
there's
there
in
the
future
there'll
be
multiple
ways
for
people
to
get
around
downtown
on
on
bicycles,
including
on
the
the
grant
connection
in
the
future.
N
As
we
look
forward
to
going
from
the
civic
center
area
over
to
wolverton
and
connecting
to
east
rail,
clearly,
that's
going
to
be
you
know,
forging
new
ground
for
that
connection
from
the
transit
center.
The
office
corridor
over
to
the
east
trail
investment.
That's
going
in
place!
Okay,
great!
Thank
you,
amen,.
F
F
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
looking
at
both
design
standards
requirements
as
well
as
guidelines,
I
think
that'll
be
really
helpful
as
well.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
clearly
understood
it
looks
like
it
is:
restricted,
driveway
access,
so
along
the
corridor.
There
will
not
be
driveways
going
in
and
out
so
from
a
safety
standpoint.
It
is
that's
the
intent.
F
I
think
that's
what
I
read
in
the
documents
and
then
when
I
think
about,
then
the
low
impact
design
features
and
and
the
stormwater
features
and
sensory.
So
those
are
more
guidelines
of
what
we're
looking
for
and
not
necessarily
prescribed
standards
and
and
then,
when
I
think
about
performances
and
vendor
is
the
expectation
that
we're
going
to
have
infrastructure
and
lighting
so
that
if
we
do
end
up
with
performers
that
need
electricity,
for
example,
that
there
would
be
some
of
that
built
into
the
corridor
and
and
for
micro
mobility.
F
I'm
trying
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that
might
work,
and
then
the
transition
and
the
financial
scenarios.
So
I
agree
that
we
have
the
sequence
one
and
two,
but
just
trying
to
get
a
better
sense
for
what's
the
well.
Will
you
come
back
with
another
briefing
about
the
financial
scenario,
since
this
one
is
just
about
the
design,
standards
and
and
guidelines
and
yeah?
I'm
really
excited
about
this
part.
But
I
did
have
a
couple
of
those
questions
and
then
on
the
universal
design
and
accessibility.
F
So
the
the
the
requirements
are
set
up
so
that,
as
we
really
look
at
this
entire
corridor,
we
are
going
to
have
the
universal
design
throughout.
So
we're
not,
we
don't
have
to
try
to
add
in
ada.
It
will
be
baked
into
the
very
design
of
this
corridor.
So
those
were
a
couple
of
the
questions
I
have
very
excited
about
getting
this
going
and
all
the
work
from
the
planning,
commission
and
staff
and
working
with
our
stakeholders.
O
O
It
is
not
a
mandatory
requirement
and
really
anywhere
in
downtown,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
because
of
how
we're
built
out,
but
certainly
there
will
be
standards
and
there
will
be
a
a
strong
desire
and
when
people
are
coming
through
design
review
process,
we
will
be
looking
for.
How
are
you
meeting
these
guidelines
so
that
will
be
a
big
push
for
us.
You
also
asked
about
the
built-in
lighting
and
such
with
these
open
spaces.
O
We
do
often
have
lighting
to
actually
accommodate
those
types
of
things,
so
either
lighting
or
electrical
outlets
in
our
large
plazas
sort
of
thing.
We
are
trying
to
provide
that
so
that
people
can
actually
start
to
activate
these
spaces
in
a
different
manner
than
maybe
what
we've
been
accustomed
to
in
the
past,
that
they're
more
flexible
spaces
that
can
accommodate
more
uses,
which
is,
I
think,
exciting.
O
You
also
asked
about
the
universal
design
and
accessibility,
and,
yes,
the
idea
is
that
it
does
become
more
of
the
holistic
design,
the
accessibility
instead
of
a
just
a
ramp
off
to
the
side.
It
worked
we're
looking
for
that
being
brought
into
the
design
and
becoming
a
part
of
the
larger
design,
so
that
it
does
not
appear
to
be
a
secondary
access
or
secondary
route,
but
it's
part
of
the
route
through
a
space
and
allows
people
to
have
a
everyone
shares
the
same
access
to
this
wonderful
space.
O
N
Sure
so
the
the
micro
mobility
is
a
good
question,
because,
right
now
we
do
have
city
efforts,
as
you
know,
that
are
thinking
about
micro
mobility
throughout
all
of
downtown.
So
we
have
staff
from
community
development
development
services
on
those
staff
teams
kind
of
thinking
about
how
the
grand
connection
does
fit
into
into
those
efforts.
Clearly,
there's
there's
desire
lines
that
go
throughout
downtown
for
micro
mobility,
but
oftentimes
there
may
be,
you
know,
design,
considerations
or
other
constraints.
N
We
want
to
just
be
aware
of
when
we're
starting
to
make
rules
that
make
sense
for
bellevue
as
far
as
the
the
restricted
driveway
access
that
that
came
up
most
often
on
in
the
plaza
is
street
section
so
right
by
the
pack,
our
property,
the
old
california,
pizza,
kitchen
area.
So
thinking
of
you
know
a
high
volume,
pedestrian
area
there,
trying
to
minimize
new,
curb
cuts
and
driveway
accesses
off
of
the
what
historically
was
the
pedestrian
corridor.
So
that's
where
most
of
the
discussion
was
on
on
that
particular
topic.
N
O
S
Sure
I
think
I
heard
a
couple
things
in
that
question
council
members
on,
so
if
I
don't
hit
it
quite
on
the
head,
please
just
let
me
know
we
are
coordinating
a
couple
of
different
things
from
a
capital
investment
standpoint.
S
There
are
opportunities
to
partner
with
our
transportation
department,
on
certain
improvements
in
and
around
the
downtown
and
as
the
council
has
set
priorities,
particularly
around
things
like
the
grand
connection
and
its
implementation,
we
look
at
our
cip
budget
about
what
could
be
implemented
in
the
shorter
term,
for
example
partnering
in
and
around
where
we're
seeing
private
investment
like
the
balkan
buildings
or
the
amazon
buildings.
S
S
These
are
important
things
to
think
about,
because
if
we
want
to
program
the
area
in
a
meaningful
way
to
accomplish
some
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
with
bda,
for
example,
we
should
be
thinking
about
the
necessary
capital
improvements
along
the
route,
particularly
from
the
transit
station
down
to
the
park.
So
at
any
rate,
yes,
the
short
answer
is
yes,
we're.
S
D
I
mean
this
has
been
on
the
books
for
the
city
for
the
last
30
years,
start
out
with
pedestrian
corridor
at
that
time
it
just
you
know
the
the
northeast
sixth
order
connected
from
downtown
from
the
waterfront
limbaugh
bay
dunton
park
and
throughout
the
middle
corridors
and
to
the
transit
center
and
then
to
405.
D
The
purpose
is
to
basically
connect
downtown
to
the
east
side
to
the
rest
of
bellevue,
which
is
unfortunately
divided
by
405..
So
I
think
this
is
a
really
a
great
realization
of
that
grand
vision.
It's
a
lot
of
work
that
happened
before
it's
small
pieces
that
takes
place
that
took
place
has
taken
place.
That's
making
things
happen
now.
D
I
want
to
not
just
because
you
have
a
downtown,
you
have
a
wilburton,
it's
it's
a
close
thing
now.
I
think
it
should
be
a
continuous
grand
connection,
grand
vision
to
connect
velvet
together,
and
these
are
the
pieces.
These
are
the
stepping
stones
brakes.
We
are
laying
in
place.
So
I
like
that,
a
lot
that's
great,
and
we
have
that
vision,
but
you
know
the
detail.
The
devil
is
in
the
detail.
D
I
always
say
a
lot
of
things
we
talked
about
are
the
details
we
can
spend
hours
talking
about
it
and
may
is
gonna,
say,
don't
shut
up.
So
in
some
of
the
details
you
know
it's,
we
need
to
have
the
human
scale.
Look
at
the
characters,
the
things
we
talk
about,
the
questions
being
asked.
You
know,
that's
why
we
need
to
look
at
diversity.
We
need
to
get
in
inclusion.
D
How
do
we
bring
people
together?
That's
the
essence
of
a
community
of
a
city
bellevue.
You
know,
so
I
believe
that
we
are
putting
in
space
good
job,
but
I
would
really
like
to
make
sure
you
know
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
diversely
diverse
culture
is
already
kind
of
being
recognized.
We
need
to
be
looking
at
past,
look
at
present
and
look
at
the
future.
The
press
we're
looking
at
some
japanese
recognition.
Indigenous
people.
That's
great!
That's
a
good
start,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
even
more
recognizing.
D
What
are
the
things
we
can
recognize
in
the
past,
because
people
that
we
in
the
present,
obviously
it's
important.
The
present
has
changed
and
present
is
going
to
change
in
the
future.
I
think
we
need
to
be
envisioning.
What's
all
that
going
to
happen,
we
need
to
have
a
flexibility.
We
need
open
designs.
D
We
need
to
have
details,
that's
going
to
give
us
the
global
vision,
global
character,
the
human
skill,
the
experience
that
we
are
now
enjoying
with
the
rich
culture
we
have
in
bellevue
with
the
immigrants,
the
newcomers,
people
of
all
you
know,
backgrounds
and
work
works,
and
all
that
I
think
that's
important
to
think.
But
it's
got
to
be
in
the
openness
in
the
not
in
the
flexibility
we
provide
thinking
about
the
detail.
How
do
we
design
it?
You
know,
including
the
transportation
which
you
know.
The
mayor
was
talking
about
a
lot.
D
D
You
know
they
still
do
things
like
they
did
a
hundred
years
ago,
but
they
change
it
to
modify
it
to
fit
into
the
space
into
the
culture
into
how
people
do
things
and
make
them
work
very
well.
Working
bicycling,
I
think
we
need
to
consider
all
that
and
to
be
provided
in
the
space
that
we
are
designing
now,
so
that
they
can
be
flexible
to
change
and
we
can
learn
from
other
countries.
Other
folks,
you
know,
that's
the
reason.
D
The
value
like
you
know
the
customer
stokes
mentioned
you,
take
trips
to
the
other
cities
and
see
how
other
people
do
it,
but
I
think
we
should
not
limit
to
just
this
country
because
our
people,
our
community,
now
it's
from
all
over
the
world,
it's
global.
So
let's
see
how
other
people
make
things
work
and
do
it
and
enjoy
the
the
details,
the
the
human
skill,
the
experiences
to
do
that
we
need
to
be
inclusive.
We
need
to
have
diversity,
ultimately
bring
people
together.
D
So
I
believe
the
stakeholders,
the
outreach
that
needs
to
be
very
deliberate-
that's
gotta
be
much
more
than
we've
done.
You
know
in
the
past
and
it's
going
to
take
time,
but
these
are
the
details
we
have
to
work
on.
So
let's
number
one,
that's
not
closer:
let's
keep
it
open.
Let's
keep
it
connected.
Now
you
were
able
to
kind
of
down
to
move
it
into
the
east
side.
Let's
keep
it
going
and
it
doesn't
just
physically
open,
it's
humanly
open
and
humanly
connected
and
do
not
be
close.
D
A
I'll
try
to
be
quick
here.
I
just
really
appreciate
this.
I'm
really
excited
seems
like
a
big
step
forward.
I
do
appreciate,
as
councilmember
zhan
mentioned,
the
accessibility
part
of
it.
I
like
the
way,
that's
written.
I
love
the
sensitivity
to
making
it
inclusive
for
all
abilities
and
not
separate
entrances
or
accessibilities
for
different
people
should
be
seamless.
It
can
be
done
really
well,
and
I
I
think
bellevue
will
just
do
an
excellent
job
of
doing
that
on
this.
It's
a
great
opportunity
and
it
really
is
quite
a
remarkable
connection.
A
As
council
member
lee
said,
I
mean
you're
going
from
the
mountains
to
sound
green
way,
you're
connecting
to
the
east
trail
and
then
you're
connecting
to
the
grand
connection
and
it's
just
unbelievable
interconnectedness
of
safe
protected
routes
for
people
on
bikes
and
on
foot.
It's
gonna
transform
the
city
and
I'm
very
excited.
So
thank
you.
I
think
we
have
a
consensus
here
to
move
this
forward.
So
deputy
mayor,
do
you
have
a
motion?
A
H
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
Okay,
great
all
right
we're
going
to
take
a
break
here
till
805,
we'll
take
a
real,
quick
break
and
we'll
see
you
back
here
at
805.
Please.
K
Sure
mayor
this,
the
next
item
is
a
smart.
A
A
B
K
Okay,
you
getting
me:
okay,
yeah,
okay,
well,
this
next.
The
last
study
session
item
in
front
of
the
council
this
evening
is
a
smart
cities,
program,
overview
and
transportation
element,
informational
update
and,
just
by
background,
the
bellevue
smart
plan
city's
plan
was
approved
by
the
council
back
in
2017
and
was
followed
by
the
bellevue
smart
mobility
plan
in
2018,
which
focused
on
the
fight.
The
plan
in
18
were
focused
on
the
five-year
goals
specific
to
transportation.
K
The
last
smart
cities
update
in
front
of
the
council
was
back
on
june
24th
in
19
2019
and
focused
on
the
connectivity
element
joining
us
this
evening
is
andrew
singleton's
director
who
will
be
introducing
the
staff
along
with
them
tonight.
This
is
an
informational
update
and
no
formal
direction
is
being
requested
by
council
this
evening.
With
that
I'll
hand,
it
over
to
you,
andrew
for
introductions
and
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
C
Okay,
well
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
the
council
for
having
us
here
tonight
to
provide
an
update
about
the
transportation
element
of
the
smart
cities
plan.
C
We've
got
chris
long,
daniel
lye
and
chris
iverson
here
tonight
to
highlight
some
of
the
projects
that
we've
completed
to
support
the
safety,
sustainability,
efficiency
and
accessibility
of
our
transportation
system,
and
they
will
also
touch
upon
two
new
initiatives
that
will
begin
this
year.
The
first
one
will
help
the
city
to
prepare
for
the
eventual
arrival
of
autonomous
vehicles
in
bellevue,
and
the
second
will
better
define
how
we
can
prioritize
the
limited
use
of
our
curb
in
urban
centers
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
chris.
T
All
right,
thank
you,
andrew
and,
and
thank
you
mayor,
robinson,
w
mayor
newman
house
and
council
for
having
us
back
to
talk
about
some
of
the
exciting
progress
that
we've
made
in
the
bellevue
smart
plan
and
specifically
the
transportation
update.
Next
slide,
please
the
so
as
mentioned.
This
is
for
an
informational,
only
presentation
and
the
presentation
is
going
to
cover
three
main
topics
today
shown
here
on
the
next
slide.
T
The
first
is
a
background
on
the
smart
cities
program.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we've
talked
about
it,
we'll
cover
a
little
bit
about
where
how
we've
gotten
to
where
we
are
today,
an
update
on
the
smart
mobility
plan
and
some
of
the
new
initiatives
that
were
kicking
off.
T
T
Excuse
me
with
a
clean
high
quality
environment
and
excellent
and
reliable
infrastructure
that
supports
our
vibrant
and
growing
city,
including
high-tech
connectivity,
and
with
that
vision
we
marched
forward
through
to
2017
when
the
bellevue
smart
plan
was
completed
and
have
now
across
the
various
departments
involved
in
that
program
have
made
a
lot
of
headway
in
improving
our
our
goals
against
our
three
outcomes
that
are
identified
here
and
those
were
to
improve
livability
sustainability,
sustainability
and
resiliency
of
the
elements
of
the
smart
city
program
in
support
of
our
community
next
slide,
please.
T
So
the
the
program
was
divided
into
six
elements.
As
we
mentioned,
connectivity
was
the
last
one
that
was
here,
and
it
focuses
on
improving
communication
services
for
residents
and
businesses
transportation.
What
you'll
hear
more
about
today
is
how
we
move
people
safely
and
efficiently
through
the
city.
Public
safety.
T
Is
that
section
focused
on
integration
of
services
and
to
improve
our
public
safety
and
specifically
from
the
fire
perspective
on
the
the
water
element,
is
where
our
utilities
departments
worked
on
improving
delivery
of
their
water
services
and
minimizing
disruption,
and
then
buildings
and
energy,
which
has
been
a
a
major
topic
over
the
last
year,
as
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
was
wrapping
up
looking
at
system
performance
and
resource
conservation,
so
next
slide
so
specific
to
transportation.
T
When
the
smart
cities
plan
was
done
in
2017,
we
picked
up
the
ball
in
dove
deeper
into
the
transportation
element
element
and
completed
the
smart
mobility
plan,
and
that
was
actually
a
rebranding
of
what
before
was
known.
As
our
its
master
plan,
which
was
completed
in
20
2004.
T
That
plan
we
had
pretty
much
hit
all
the
goals
of
that
plan.
By
the
time
we
got
to
the
the
smart
cities
development
and
came
up
with
a
whole
new
approach
to
what
we
were
going
to
be
looking
to
do
over
the
next
five
years,
starting
back
in
2018..
T
U
Great
thanks
chris
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
new
and
house
and
city
council
as
a
first
order
before
touching
on
several
of
them
smart
mobility
projects.
Tonight
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
about
our
smart
mobility
vision
that
we
developed
in
2018
as
part
of
the
smart
mobility
plan.
It
really
sets
the
framework
for
all
the
projects
that
we
take
on
it's
the
foundation
of
all
the
goals
that
we
hope
to
hope
and
strive
to
accomplish
within
this
program.
U
U
These
are
common
themes
that
are
demonstrated
throughout
the
various
projects
that
we
take
on
and
as
we
embark
on
future
projects
as
well,
it
really
is
underscores
sort
of
the
importance
of
taking
or
deploying
new
technology
for
a
purpose.
So
the
very
first
project
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
tonight
is
our
traffic
camera
expansion
project.
U
U
It's
it's
really
a
game-changing
technology
for
us,
because
it
improves
our
situational
awareness
around
the
city.
We
have
a
lot
of
eyes
on
the
streets
now,
so
we
can
see
traffic
conditions,
see
traffic
flows
be
able
to
share
this
resource
with
other
departments
as
well.
For
example,
we
share
it
with
parks,
so
they
can
see
some
of
the
streams
in
the
city.
U
The
next
project
that
I'd
like
to
focus
on
is
our
winter
response
fleet
automatic
vehicle
locator
project.
This
is
a
tool
that
we
implemented
this
year
in
response
to
the
2021
winter
snow
event.
We
were
able
to
implement
this
tool
to
really
look
at
real
time:
locations
of
assets
in
the
city,
our
snow,
winter,
weather
response
assets.
So
our
sanders,
our
plows
were
able
to
look
at
that
in
real
time,
ultimately,
increased
our
operational
efficiencies
and
also
improved
response
time
dot
or
it
also
improved
event
documentation
for
us
as
well.
U
One
good
story
to
report
back
on
here
is
that
this
year
we
were
notified
of
an
event
where
one
of
the
houses
in
bellevue
needed
aid.
So
in
that
response
effort,
we
were
able
to
look
at
this
tool
and
guide
that
aid
card
to
the
right
location.
We
were
able
to
see
in
the
tool
that
it
made
a
wrong
turn
and
quickly
were
able
to
respond
back
and
tell
the
driver
that
they
needed
to
make
a
turn
to
the
right
instead
of
a
turn
to
the
left.
U
U
It
was
it's
a
new
tool
that
allows
us
to
document
our
thousands
of
miles
of
fiber
in
the
city
that
we
operate,
our
transportation
system
off
of
bellevue
parks
facilities
off
of,
and
we
share
with
other
partners
such
as
overlake
hospital,
bellevue,
school
district
and
other
it
facilities
as
well.
U
By
implementing
this
tool,
we
now
have
a
better
understanding
of
where
our
assets
are
we're
able
to
improve
outage
response
times
and
also
creates
an
opportunity
for
us
to
share
fiber
with
other
partners
within
the
region.
One
a
good
story
to
kind
of
share
here
is
about.
A
year
ago,
we
there
was
an
a
a
big
outage
in
terms
of
a
fiber
line
being
cut
just
south
of
the
city
of
bellevue
in
newcastle.
U
This
was
a
shared
fiber
line
that
is
common
to
city
of
bellevue
city
of
renton
city
of
newcastle
king
county,
we're
quickly
able
to
look
at
this
tool
and
find
a
diversionary
route
to
be
able
to
reestablish
that
connection
in
short
order.
So
this
was
a
good
partnership
for
us
to
offer
a
new
tool
to
our
surrounding
partners,
and
then
we
implemented
our
live
video
traffic
map.
This
is
a
new
tool
that
we
launched
in
fall
of
2020,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
one
of
my.
U
The
camera
slides
by
enabling
new
cameras
in
the
city
were
also
able
to
provide
live
streaming.
Video
to
the
public,
you
might
have
noticed
in
october
of
2020.
The
still
imagery
on
our
website
changed
over
to
live
video
streams.
Ultimately,
this
improves
real-time
traffic
visibility
for
the
public
they're
able
to
see
traffic
conditions
in
real
time
and
be
able
to
make
informed
decisions
about
where
to
make
their
trips
and
travel
around
the
city.
U
It
was
a
a
good
sort
of
high
project,
or
point
to
highlight
here
is
that
during
the
2021
winter
event
that
happened
on
february
13th
of
this
year,
we
were
able
to
see
traffic
web
traffic
on
our
website,
go
up
from
about
150
users
a
day
to
about
5
000
users
a
day
after
implementing
this
new
tool.
So
it
was
quickly
evidence
to
us
that
the
public
has
relies
on
these
tools.
U
They
look
at
the
live
traffic
video
to
make
decisions
about
whether
to
make
a
trip
or
not
out
in
this
winter
condition
and
whether
it's
safe
enough
to
do
so.
So
we
believe
that
it
greatly
improves
safety
in
those
instances
and
then
our
autonomous
vehicle,
strategic
vision.
This
is
a
project
that
we're
about
to
take
on
this
year.
It
will
be
supported
by
the
consultants
on
our
new
mobility
on
call.
U
The
new
mobility
on
call
will
encompass
various
technology,
emerging
technologies
in
the
connected
autonomous
electric
and
shared
space,
but
this
body
of
work
specifically
looks
at
sort
of
autonomous
vehicles
in
the
city
of
bellevue.
It's
slated
to
begin
in
quarter
two
of
this
year,
we'll
be
evaluating
all
the
industry
and
agency,
or
industry
and
agency
av
readiness
in
bellevue
there's
a
lot
of
local
partners
within
city
of
bellevue
that
are
excited
about
av
that
want
to
partner
with
the
city
of
bellevue
on
av.
U
U
We
can
look
at
seasonal
trends
and
also
monthly
trends
between
travel
times,
so
we
can
proactively
use
data
to
inform
whether
adjustments
need
to
be
made
along
a
corridor
how
to
prioritize
projects
according
to
growth
or
according
to
changes
that
we
see
related
to
travel
patterns,
and,
ultimately,
we
can
use
this
tool
to
make
our
adaptive
system
in
the
city
even
more
adaptive
and
even
more
responsive
to
the
demand
that
we
see
so
we're
excited
about
this
project.
We
just
implemented
it.
U
U
We
implemented
this
project
in
q3
of
2020
in
october,
and
we've
been
operating
it
since
so
for
a
total
of
8
months.
So
far,
essentially,
it's
an
on-demand
transit
project
that
provides
door-to-door
service
through
the
van
that
you
see
on
this
slide,
we'll
pick
up
a
passenger
from
their
home
and
take
them
to
the
frequent
transit
network,
stops
being
the
bee
line
and
also
the
eastgate
transit
center.
U
U
Since
implementing
this
new
service
we've
seen
tremendous
uptake
in
the
ridership
we've
seen
the
demographics
that
we
intended
to
provide
the
service
to
being
low-income
households,
households
with
lower
car
ownership,
really
impress
upon
the
service
and
they've
been
taking
the
service
as
a
norm
in
their
and
being
able
to
get
to
these
sites
as
of
march
or
between
march
and
april,
we
saw
a
50
growth
in
terms
of
the
disadvantaged
community
using
the
service,
so
we
were.
U
U
So
we're
excited
to
continue
seeing
this
project
go
continue
to
grow.
This
project
will
continue
all
the
way
until
august
of
which
we'll
continue
to
seek
more
funding
to
extend
the
pilot,
if
possible,
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
curbside
management,
where
chris
iverson
will
share
more
about
our
endeavors.
U
V
Great
thank
you
daniel
good
evening,
city
manager,
miyaki
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
council.
My
name
is
chris
iverson
and
I'm
happy
to
present
a
small
segment
of
what
is
in
our
our
smart
mobility
plan,
which
is
related
to
curbside
management,
and
what
I
mean
by
curb
management
is
generally
the
nexus
of
land,
use
and
transportation.
V
This
area
is
the
the
border
of
a
street
that
essentially
acts
as
the
intermediary
between
transportation
and
the
place
that
transportation
interacts
with
it
truly
is
where
movement
meets
access
this,
this
very
otherwise
static
location,
where,
historically
speaking,
you
know
on
street
parking
and
and
vehicle
movement
has
occurred,
has
really
become
a
much
more
dynamic
space
in
the
last
10
years,
especially
with
the
rise
of
ride,
share
companies
like
uber
and
lyft,
with
the
rise
of
e-commerce,
especially
during
the
covet
era,
and
obviously
you
know
the
traditional
needs
of
transit
and
private
employer
shuttle
usage.
V
Please
so
I
would
like
to
highlight
two
different
projects
that
tie
very
well
with
our
smart
mobility
vision
of
using
technology
to
advance
the
state
of
the
united
transportation.
V
The
intent
of
that
grant
was
to
attempt
to
find
solutions
that
reduce
fuel
consumption
from
freight
vehicles
by
making
deliveries
more
efficient,
specifically
in
urban
areas,
where
you
generally
see
freight
trucks
operate,
and
maybe
circle
blocks
to
find
safe
and
efficient
places
to
to
pull
over
and
make
their
delivery.
V
The
other
opportunity
was
the
smart
cities
collaborative
now.
This
was
an
opportunity
that
the
city
applied
for
in
late
2019
this.
This
brain
trust,
was
issued
from
an
organization
called
transportation
for
america,
which
is
a
dc-based
advocacy
organization
that
pushes
for
transportation
funding
at
federal
and
state
levels
back
in
2019.
V
The
this
marks,
the
mark,
smart
cities
collaborative,
was
focused
on
curbside
pilot
projects
and
bellevue
was
selected
along
with
boston
and
minneapolis
as
the
three
pilot
cities,
where
those
curb
pilots
were
to
take
place.
So
it
was
a
really
exciting
opportunity,
bellevue,
obviously
being
the
only
mid-sized
city
in
in
the
midst
there
as
a
pilot
city
with
the
intent
of
looking
into
curbside
technologies.
That
would
make
the
overall
curb
environment
more
safe
and
efficient
next
slide.
Please.
So.
V
First
I'd
like
to
dive
into
the
first
grant
opportunity
that
I
mentioned
with
the
department
of
energy
again.
This
was
something
that
we
partnered
with
the
urban
freight
lab.
The
intent
was
to
launch
systems
that
could
predict
load,
zone
availability
and
reduce
parking
seeking
behavior
from
freight
vehicles.
V
So
we
launched
multiple
different
camera
systems
around
downtown
bellevue
in
in
high
demand
areas
where
we
noticed
a
lot
of
freight
and
e-commerce
activity
and
with
the
observations
from
those
cameras,
were
able
to
feed
into
a
an
app
actually
that
is
being
developed
by
the
pacific
northwest
national
lab,
which
hopefully,
will
be
able
to
be
used
by
freight
companies
like
ups
fedex
and
amazon.
V
In
the
future,
it'll
allow
those
drivers
to
have
a
better
sense
of
the
demands
of
the
curve
at
specific
times
of
day
and
specific
days
of
the
week,
so
it
is
really
exciting.
It's
been
a
really
exciting
cooperative
effort,
with
both
the
city,
seattle
and
with
the
university
of
washington.
V
Next
slide,
please
so
the
when
we
were
launching
the
smart
cities
collaborative
you
know
again.
I
mentioned
before
that
the
intent
originally
pre-covered
was
to
have
the
three
cities
launch
curbside
pilots
when
covet
took
over
in
our
in
our
lives,
changed
the
the
consortium
made
the
decision
to
sort
of
pivot,
the
scope
of
our
of
our
brain
trust
and
really
focus
on
near-term
urgencies
related
to
covid.
V
That
did
not
deter
us.
Obviously,
we
did
a
lot
of
covet-related
activities
which
I'll
touch
on
later,
but
we
decided
to
continue
to
pursue
a
curbside
performance
assessment
and
what
this
looked
like
was.
We
actually
worked
with
multiple
different
vendors
that
had
camera
solutions
that
were
able
to
or
that
that
were
marketing
the
ability
to
track
the
the
arrival
and
departure
events
at
the
curb.
V
V
So
it
was.
It
really
was
a
validation
of
the
technology
that
we
were
working
with
our
private
partners
on
right
now,
we're
actually
in
the
midst
of
our
last
assessment
period,
and
I'm
excited
to
say
that
our
final
report
of
our
findings
is
should
be
available
in
a
few
months
later
this
summer.
Next
slide,
please,
like
I
mentioned
before
the
smart
cities
collaborative,
was
a
really
great
opportunity
for
our
transportation
staff
to
work
with
many
different
mines
from
dozens
of
cities
around
the
country
and
when
kovit
hit.
V
Again,
I
mentioned
before
the
scope
of
that
brain
trust
pivoted,
and
we
really
used.
We
used
that
resource
as
a
ideas
bouncing
ground
of
sorts.
So
the
the
two
main
products
that
came
from
the
smart
cities
collaborative
were
the
covid
and
the
curb
report,
which
documented
the
multiple
different
efforts
that
cities
did
during
covet
to
address
the
crisis
and
then
another
document
that
that
covered
the
universal
curb
language
and
standards
principles.
V
So
the
the
covet
and
the
curb
report
covered
a
lot
of
the
different
things
that
cities
did
like
I
mentioned
in
bellevue.
What
that
included
was
launching
food
pickup
zones
at
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
and
launching
our
curbside
dining
program
in
old
bellevue.
V
We
also
launched
our
healthy
streets
program
in
multiple
different
neighborhoods,
which
close
the
street
to
local
or
close
the
street
to
through
traffic,
to
allow
more
people
to
maneuver
and
safely
physically
distance
at
the
peak
of
the
pandemic.
V
The
the
sorry
could
you
go
back
one
second,
I'm
gonna
mention
the
curved
language
and
standards
principles.
This
document
highlighted
really
five
main
takeaways
related
to
the
curve.
The
and
again
this
was
a.
This
was
a
collaborative
effort
that
the
cities
in
the
collaborative
worked
on
together.
The
five
main
takeaways
were
that
the
the
future
of
the
curb
should
really
be
in
control
by
local
public
agencies,
and
public
agencies
should
set
the
policy.
V
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
from
you
know
all
backgrounds
are
able
to
access
the
curb
and
there's
not
prioritization,
that
that
pushes
them
away
the
the
data
that
is
derived
from
the
curve
and
from
these
pilot
programs
that
we're
launching
should
be
open
and
publicly
owned,
so
that
the
state
of
the
practice
can
can
continue
for
the
public
good,
and
the
last
two
is
that
the
data
should
be
easily
transferable
and
clearly
communicated
so
that
when
we
are
evolving
new
curbside
practices
and
testing
new
technologies,
we're
able
to
be
speaking
the
same
language.
V
That
was
something
that
we
realized
is
that
around
the
country,
the
idea
of
curve
management
is
still
very
nascent
and
ensuring
that
we
have
consistent
language
is
going
to
be
really
important
from
a
practitioner's
standpoint.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
I
just
like
to
touch
briefly
on
some
upcoming
work.
Like
I
mentioned
before
that,
the
performance
assessment
report
should
be
complete
and
published
later
this
summer.
That
will
show
the
findings
from
our
curbside
pilot.
V
After
that
pilot,
we
still
intend
on
on
testing
different
technologies
to
see
if
there's
better
ways
that
we
can
make
the
curbside
and
our
general
transportation
system
more
efficient,
especially
in
our
dense
areas
like
downtown
and,
finally,
the
we
will
be
launching
a
curbside
management
plan
effort
later
in
2021.
V
That
will
take
a
look
at
the
curbside
from
both
a
policy
and
a
principal's
perspective.
V
So
this
is
something
that
the
city
has
been
interested
in
for
for
a
while
now
and
we're
really
excited
to
get
that
work
going
here
very
shortly,
we're
in
pre-scoping
phase
right
now
and
we
intend
to
be
pursuing
that
project
in
in
full
speed
here
shortly.
T
Yeah
to
just
to
wrap
up
back
on
the
smart
cities
topic
in
over
the
course
of
the
year.
There
will
be
a
few
more
updates
from
other
departments
on
where
they're,
at
with
their
smart
cities,
elements
all
leading
up
to
what
we're
calling
a
light
update
to
the
bellevue
smart
plan
in
2022,
and
with
that
we'll
open
it
up
with
any
to
questions.
A
Terrific
thank
you
great
presentation,
councilmember
lee
we're
going
to
start
with
you
because
I
know
this
is
your
favorite
topic
and
we'll
go
to.
P
D
D
D
I
I
would
say
the
management
you
know
and
the
console
we
invested
heavily
in
fiber
infrastructure,
we're
developing
all
that
stuff,
and
now
we
have
a
hundred
percent
intersection
with
cameras.
Amazing
I
mean
these
are
information
data
which
we
are
talking
about
today
in
the
future
technology
and
how
many
cities
can
say
that
they
have
the
technology
we
have
you
know,
so
we
we're
just
blessed
we're
endowed.
D
So
thank
you
for
the
staff
they're
realizing
this
and
keep
on
investing
in
the
people
and
the
technology
in
the
infrastructure.
So
I'm
really
excited-
and
I
think
this
copenhagen
really
showed
technology
is
a
very
important
piece
of
the
new
norm.
You
know
we're
talking
about
the
things.
How
do
we
make
it
safer,
more
efficient
and
more
environmentally
friendly
and
all
the
good
things
we'll
talk
about
we're
talking
about
more
people
smaller
space?
So
I
don't
need
to
go
through
all
that
stuff,
because
you
know
I'm
really.
D
I
want
to
complement
all
the
way
from
the
top
down
to
the
bottom
and
thank
you
and
I
think
it's
self-evident,
and
we
can
learn
more
from
you
guys,
and
so
I
I'm
just
emphasizing
one
thing
what
you
have
done.
You
know
we
we
sometimes
we
we
keep
it
a
little
bit
too
tight
to
the
chest.
A
lot
of
private
sectors.
Partners
are
looking
for
a
very
strong,
credible,
innovative,
creative
government.
You
know
to
partner
with
and
because
it's
hard,
it's
very
difficult
to
come
by.
D
D
F
Yes,
I
want
to
say
thank
you,
daniel
chris
and
chris.
This
has
been
an
amazing
presentation
and
you
know:
smart
cities
is
so
important
and
I
think
this
is
a
testament
to
why
we
continue
to
win
the
digital
cities
award
is
for
this
work
that
has
been
really
17
years
in
the
making.
As
I
understand
it,
and
you
know,
certainly
in
our
retreat,
we
talked
a
lot
about
how
we
focus
on
data
and
how
we
use
data
to
make
decisions.
F
F
Are
there
certain
parts
of
the
city
that
we
need
to
also
give
it
more
attention
related
to
technology
and
innovation,
and
what
might
some
of
those
be
and
then
in
terms
of
engagement
with
the
community
and
the
equity
lens
of
who
are
the
folks
that
some
of
the
technology
has
not
benefited
yet
that
we
can
also
focus
on.
So
maybe
it's
both
geography
in
terms
of
the
infrastructure,
as
well
as
the
the
the
diversity
of
the
people
and
the
ones
that
may
be
more
underserved
in
our
community
that
we
can
focus
on.
F
T
Chris
yeah
well
sure
it's
we
can
always
use
more
funding.
So
there's
there's
just
a
lot
to
do
and
a
lot
to
consider,
but
I
think
we're
we're
doing
pretty
well
with
what
we've
seen
through
the
levy
and
through
our
reoccurring
capital
budget
that
we've
had
for
a
while.
We've
been
able
to
leverage
some
of
the
money
that
was
set
aside
just
for
partnerships
to
do
a
lot
of
these
neat
projects.
T
Like
the
crossroads
connect,
which
you
know
the
this,
the
purpose
of
that
project
was
to
do
exactly
what
you
said
to
reach
some
of
those
those
neighborhoods
and
those
people
that
maybe
haven't
been
touched
by
this
by
the
tech
mobility
technology.
Yet
and
and
as
daniel
reported
with
some
of
the
recent
findings.
I
I
think
we're
accomplishing
that,
and
so
we're
we're
anxious
to
see
more
money
potentially
come
from
the
state
to
support
it
a
little
longer
or
hopefully,
to
the
end
of
the
year.
T
But
we
know
we're
going
to
be
able
to
go
until
august,
at
least
to
see
how
it
evolves
in
potentially
a
a
less
covet
impacted
commuter
environment
and
see
how
it's
used
more.
For
that,
not
just
some
of
the
daily
trips
that
people
need
to
take
for
other
purposes.
T
So
you
know,
as
we
get
into
this
av
mobility
study
and
the
curb
space
management,
there's
going
to
be
new
needs
and
asks
on
those
fronts,
and
so
we'll
we'll
use
those
to
define
some
of
the
the
projects
and
and
where,
where
we
can
go,
but
we
certainly
are
looking
for
partnerships
in
both.
You
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
accomplished
through
that
in
in
advancing
those
technologies
and
plans.
F
G
Thank
you.
This
has
been
one
of
the
best
council
meetings
in
terms
of
study
session
items.
The
theme
tonight
seems
to
be
connectivity
and
quality
of
life
for
our
people,
because
the
grand
connection
and
this
the
smart
cities
for
tech
both
really
accomplished
that-
and
you
know
I'm
so
excited
about
the
smart
cities.
I
remember
when
we
before
we
adopted
smart
cities,
we
did
the
adaptive
traffic
lights
and
we
started
moving
more
people
on
our
roads.
G
It
was
almost
like
adding
another
lane
in
many
places,
and
so
and
then
we
adopted
the
smart,
the
smart
mobility
and
other
small
smart
city
plan,
which
was
the
transportation,
and
it
really
is
so
great
because
with
transportation,
you
can't
necessarily
build
yourself
out
of
the
challenges
to
come
with
a
growing
city
yeah,
you
could
add
more
pavement,
but
there's
only
so
much
land
get
people
in
to
switch
modes
or
you
can
make
how
they
use
the
pavement
much
more
effective
and
the
technology
that
we're
using
here
is
letting
people
use
the
pavement
that
we
have
much
more
effectively.
G
Hopefully,
we
can
move
more
people
use
those
curbs
better,
it's
just
great
and
I'm
so
proud
of
the
city
and
the
staff
and
the
council
with
regard
to
how
much
we've
embraced
the
future,
we've
embraced
the
technology
and
we're
not
really
just
building
for
the
city.
We
are
we're
building
for
the
vision
of
the
city
that
is
yet
to
come,
and
so
this
just
ties
into
that
so
beautifully.
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
you
know,
get
out
my
pom-poms
and
cheer
for
the
presentation
night,
because
it's
just
so
exciting.
G
So
the
the
one
comment
I
have
is
on
the
curbside
management
plan.
That
was
something
we
prioritized
in
the
last
budget.
It
says
it's
starting
late,
2021..
G
I
know
that
that's
going
to
lead
to
us
adopting
new
policies,
ultimately
as
properties
develop,
it
may
affect
how
the
properties
develop
in
the
downtown
or
other
very
dense
areas.
So
how
do
we
see
that
the
end
game?
As
far
as
the
timing
for
the
curbside
management
plan
and
implementation.
C
Well,
we're
anticipating
starting
it
by
the
end
of
the
year.
We
have
to
get
the
consultant
contract
going
and
completing
it
in
2022,
and
basically
it's
a
set
of
guiding
principles
that
will
help
us
prioritize.
What
happens
on
the
curb
so
due
to
staff
resource
issues,
that's
the
sequencing
of
it,
but
we
can
get
into
it
in
earnest
in
early
2022.
G
Great
because
yeah,
I'm
very
very
eager
to
get
going
on
that.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
really
important
thing,
as
we
densify
to
use
that
curve
space
and
as
our
everything's
changing
with
the
rideshare
and
everything
else
so
well
done.
Keep
on
going
so
really
really
excited
thanks.
J
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
thanks
everybody
I
mean,
I
think
most
council
members
have
already
addressed
my
my
points
there.
I
would
just
say
one
of
the
things
I'm
really
excited
about
with
curbside
management,
hopefully,
hopefully,
as
part
of
it,
is
more
opportunities
for
tactical
urbanism.
You
know.
I
know
we
saw
that
during
covet
with
the
outdoor
restaurant
eating
we'd
love
to
see.
You
know
other
scenarios
that
are
accounted
for
in
that
curbside
management
plan,
and
then,
if
I
heard
you
correctly,
the
data
will
be
available
from
from
this
work.
A
Council,
deputy
mayor
jung
house.
H
Thank
you
mayor
first,
chris
dale
chris.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
great
presentation.
I'll
probably
just
echo
a
few
of
the
comments
made
here
by
from
my
my
colleagues
but
great
presentation
and
and
especially
daniel.
I
appreciate
the
the
numerous
times
you
stopped
to
kind
of
provide
real
real
world
examples
of
how
smart
city,
implementation
and
technology
really
do
help
our
our
residents.
You
know
especially
the
example
of
the
car
that
took
a
wrong
turn.
H
The
these
are
things
that
can
only
not
only
make
our
lives
easier,
but
it
can
save
lives,
and
I
think
that's
really
important
for
for
residents
to
to
understand
and
appreciate
all
the
great
work
that
we're
doing
at
at
the
city
and
boy
there's
just
so
much
to
love
about
this,
and
I
agree
with
councilman
robertson.
H
It's
one
of
the
better
presentations
that
we've
had
and
because
of
the
metrics
because
of
the
data
that
you
have
provided
here
and
especially
on
the
curbside
management,
really
excited
to
get
that
going
even
further
a
great
update
there.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
just
want
to
drill
down
for
a
moment
here
on
the
crossroads.
H
H
I
wonder
if
you
could
drill
down
for
me
just
a
little
bit
and
give
me
some
metrics
in
terms
of
what
are
the
goals
that
we're
looking
to
accomplish
in
order
to
extend
this
pilot
past
august
and
then
have
we
thought
about
if
we're
able
to
extend
it
past
august,
what
other
parts
of
the
city
could
we
take
advantage
of
this
program
and
implement
it
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
C
U
Great,
thank
you
yeah,
so
the
project
itself
has
a
very
comprehensive
list
of
performance
measures
that
we're
tracking,
in
fact,
because
it
is
a
state
project,
we
are
delivering
to
the
state,
a
performance
monitoring
report
once
once
the
pilot
phase
commit
or
completes
in
in
august.
So
we're
looking
at
many
metrics
like
a
number
of
trips
that
convert
to
tran
frequent
transit
networks,
number
of
people
that
we
transport
on
the
service
and
we're
looking
at
sort
of
the
folks
that
use
the
the
low-income
fair
passes
as
well.
U
So
a
lot
of
these
metrics,
you
know
there's
obviously,
when
we
operate
a
type
of
service
like
this
a
lot
of
times,
there's
a
focus
on
cost
per
trip
and
how
many
trips
we're
servicing
per
hour
right.
Those
are
important
metrics
for
us,
but
we're
not
looking
at
that
in
isolation
in
itself.
We're
looking
at
some
of
these
equity
metrics
as
well,
and
also
how
many
sustainability
metrics
as
well.
U
How
many
trips
are
we
removing
from
sov
trips
and
using
these
to
sort
of
guide
future
decisions
as
we
continue
to
advance
the
project?
So
those
are,
you
know,
we're
very
optimistic
about
future
funding
to
continue
moving
this
project.
Along
to
your
question
about
you
know:
if
there
is
future
funding,
what
does
it
mean
for
the
project?
U
You
know
we're
always
looking
at
expanded
areas
in
the
project.
In
fact,
this
project
actually
started
in
a
very
small
area
that
was
localized
and
maybe
even
hyper
localized
in
the
crossroads
area.
When
we
as
we
were
launching
the
service
through
kovid,
we
quickly
found
out
that
you
know
there
was
an
opportunity
to
provide
broader
service
to
the
whole
east
bellevue
area,
so
we
quickly
and
still
meet
the
service
times
that
we
committed
to
on
the
project.
U
So,
within
two
months
since
implementing
the
service,
we
quickly
expanded
the
service
to
capture
everything
that
that's
bounded
by
520,
I-405
and
I-90,
so
the
entire
east
bellevue
area
is
covered
through
this
service.
Now,
even
though
it's
called
crossroads
connect
still,
so
I
think
even
beyond
that,
we're
still
going
to
be
looking
for
more
opportunities
as
well.
U
There's
conversations
about
future
funding.
Is
there
a
partnership
with
redmond
as
well
to
provide
broader
access
across
cities
between
redmond
and
bellevue?
So
these
are
things
we're
going
to
look
at
because
we
we
know
that
people
certainly
don't
travel
just
within
bellevue.
There's
travel
across
the
region
as
well.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
those
opportunities
as
well.
H
E
Yeah,
this
has
really
been
an
amazing
presentation
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
the
whole
coordination
and
all
I
agree
with
the
councilmember
robertson-
I
would
all
to
too
was
looking
to
pull
out
my
pom-poms
and
congratulate
you
on
this.
I
think
it's
it's
fascinating
the
way
we
move
so
quickly.
On
this
I
mean
these
things
seem
to
take
a
long
time,
but
chris
long
remember
the
etp
big
conference.
E
We
had
a
couple
of
them
on
new
technology
and
we
were
what
our
shiny
toy
at
the
time
was
our
lights
and
and
those
things
and
a
lot
of
memory.
You
talked,
and
others
really
talked
about
the
future
of
it
and
we're
doing
it
and
we
do
it.
It's
just
amazing
how
much
we
really
accelerate
on
that.
So
congratulations
to
to
to
andrew
and
the
crew
on.
You
know
chris,
chris
and
and
daniel
putting
all
this
together
it
it's
a
lot
of
pieces.
E
We
kind
of
focused
on
this
last
part
you
go
back
and
look
at
all
the
other
things
we're
working
on.
It's
just
amazing,
so
I
think
we're
gonna
get
much
much
further
than
than
anybody
thinks
on
this.
E
I
wondered
and
and
daniel
brought
this
up,
I
assume
we're
doing
some
coordination
with
the
cities
around
us.
It
is
a
region,
you
know
we're
connected,
I
mean
when
we
drive
from
here
we
go
to
another
city,
it's
they're
very,
connecting
everything
else
and
we've
been
doing
that,
and
I
assume
this
is
the
same
thing.
We're
doing
here
is
working
with
these
other.
You
know
with
redmond
and
kirkland
and
and
others
around
us
can
you
is
that
to
what
extent
on
this
particular
these
particular
projects,
have
we
done
that.
T
Well,
I
will
say
on
the
the
upcoming
av
strategic
vision
project
that
we
will
be
engaging
with
the
state
and
their
autonomous
vehicle
work,
working
group
and
they've.
They
were
very
excited
to
see
us
pursuing
this
project,
as
was
metro
and
the
city
of
seattle,
and
so
we
are
we're
looking
to
leverage
those
partners
in
those
projects.
T
When
it
came
to
the
the
snowplow
project,
we
actually
we
look
to
our
partners
in
issaquah
who
have
been
doing
this,
for
I
think
this
might
have
been
their
second
winter,
that
they
did
something
similar
and
we
we
learned
from
what
they
had
started
and
and
were
expanded
it.
We
still
have
a
ways
to
go.
There's
is
already
public
facing
it's
a
little
less
tech
heavy
than
ours
is.
I
think
ours
is
going
to
be
a
little
more
streamlined,
but
we're
looking
to
you
know
some.
We
have
a.
I
have.
T
We
have
a
co-worker
in
the
department
who
lives
on
cougar
mountain
and
he
can
decide
whether
to
go
off
the
mountain
through
issaquah
or
off
the
mountain
through
bellevue
and
yeah.
We
want
him
to
come
through
bellevue
when
he
works
in
bellevue.
So
and
those
are
the
types
of
decisions
that
we
can
now
help
people
who
live
up
there
by
getting
that
information
out,
yeah.
E
That's
great
yeah.
The
other
thing
I
was
wondering
about
is,
I
assume,
we're
really
working
and
tying
this
into
the
light
rail
into
brt,
and
when
we
get
real
brt,
I
mean
all
these
different
connect
connectivity,
pieces
and
the
as
you've
talked
about
the
private
transportation,
and
we
have
so
many
different
forms.
Now
of
of
transportation,
who's
providing
them
and
again,
you
know
we
have
to
manage
the
whole
thing
because
it
just
we
can't
compartmentalize
what
we
have
real
jurisdiction
over
and
what
other
people
do
and
all
that.
T
Right,
I
mean
that's
a
it's
a
challenging
part
of
what
chris
is
going
to
be
leading
with
the
curbside
management
plan.
Is
we
have
a
ever
increasing
demand
that
once
employees
start
returning
to
the
downtown
to
accommodate
employer
shuttles,
in
addition
to
transit
and
transit
layover
with
the
expansion
of
stride
and
or
the
addition
of
stride
and
the
expansion
of
brt
coming
to
bellevue,
there's
just
even
more
needs
to
use
curb
space,
so
we
need
to
get
creative.
E
A
Okay,
I
have
a
few
questions.
First
of
all,
I
was
watching
the
setup
on
main
street
today
with
the
with
the
are
those
jersey
barriers
or
something,
and
it
was
just
it
was
such
a
good
job
that
they
were
doing
and
those
are
so
solid
and
I
was
so
proud
to
see
the
city
of
bellevue
trucks
parked
on
the
street,
making
this
all
happen
for
our
our
local
restaurants,
what
a
wonderful
way
to
support
our
economy
with
the
crossroads
connect
bus,
it
seems
like
this
is
what
access
is
missing.
A
You
know
people
with
disabilities
call
access
and
they
sit
there
for
like
a
window
of
three
hours
they
go
to
where
they
have
to
go,
and
then
they
call
access
and
they
have
to
sit
another
window
of
three
hours.
It
makes
it
into
just
a
really
really
long
day
for
them,
and
it
seems
like
that
technology
that
we're
using
with
crossroads
connect
would
be
so
fantastic
for
access.
I
wonder
if
we
could
try
to
share
it
with
them
a
little
bit
with
the
county.
A
A
I
think
we're
doing
it
above
ground
are.
We
is
that
the
is
that
what
we
plan
to
do
in
the
future,
or
will
it
be
below
ground,
I'm
just
because
I
think
we're
planning
for
it
to
be
below
ground
potentially
as
well,
and
I'm
wondering
what
the
reality
is
for
our
future.
So
just
those
two,
the
privacy
and
the
5g.
T
So
right
now,
with
5g,
our
primary
focus
has
been
working
with
the
carriers
to
get
their
equipment
deployed
on
our
street
light
poles
and
that's
something
we're
obligated
to
do
through
the
fcc
and
we've
been
working
very
hard
on
that
to
to
make
that
happen,
and
so
that
is
going
to
provide
not
only
a
benefit
to
the
community
at
large,
but
potentially
to
mobility
and
safety,
because
it's
looked
at
being
the
foundation
for
connected
vehicles
in
the
future,
so
that
I'm
not
sure
about
an
underground
component
other
than
some
of
their
backhaul
communications
is
all
based
on
fiber
optics
and
there
that's
been
an
ongoing
project
for
them
to
get
that
installed
for
a
while,
and
some
of
it
is
also
partnered
with
us,
so
maybe
daniel
you
could
jump
in
on
the
the
other
two
questions.
A
Other
question
was
actually
about
the
intersection
cameras
and
the
curb
cameras
and
privacy.
U
Yes,
yeah
so
with
the
intersection
cameras
and
privacy,
all
the
technology
that
we
deploy
is
very
much.
You
know
no
recognition
of
any
features
that
can
pinpoint
it
back
to
one
person.
In
fact,
we
when
we
deployed
the
cameras
we
and
we
serve
it
up
on
our
website.
We
specifically
choose
views
that
do
not
look
into
any
residential
areas.
U
We
make
sure
we
vet
the
views
and
we
in
some
instances
there
are
there's
masking
that's
applied
as
well
in
certain
areas
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
privacy
is
up
kept
in
in
the
most
as
much
as
we
or
basically
maximize
the
amount
of
privacy.
That's
provided
with
curb
management.
U
The
same
philosophy
is
true
as
well
all
the
technology
that
we
deploy
any
ai
technology,
that's
on
board
these
systems
have
no
ability
to
track
or
look
at
any
recognition
of
any
features
that
can
be
pinpointed
back
to
a
certain
person
or
a
certain
vehicle.
So
that's
one
of
the
underlying
requirements
that
we
made
as
mandatory
when
we
engaged
with
the
vendors
that
are
involved
in
our
project.
If
they
were
not
able
to
accomplish
or
meet
that
goal,
then
they
were
excluded
from
the
project
itself
related
to
the
shuttles.
The
point.
A
A
R
I
U
Yeah
our
project,
one
of
the
features
of
it-
I
didn't
mention
in
the
presentation,
but
we
have
a
feature-
that's
basically
commingle's
services,
so
we
actually
do
provide
access,
transit
trips.
So
whenever
there's
an
access
transit
trip
that
comes
in
it
is
actually
prioritized
within
crossroads
connect,
so
those
trips
actually
qualify
for
a
point-to-point
trip.
They
don't
need
to
go
to
the
b-line
stops
or
eastgate.
U
So,
in
fact,
the
picture
that
we
shared
in
the
presentation
today
is
one
of
the
riders
within
the
service
area
that
frequently
takes
that
service
to
get
to
over
lake
medical
center
for
her
doctor
visits.
So
it
is
one
of
those
it's
built
into
the
service
as
one
of
the
features
that
we
currently
implement.
A
That's
wonderful!
Thank
you.
So
much
for
that
information.
Well
great
presentation.
We
really
enjoyed
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
have
one
more
thing
which
we
added
to
our
agenda
and
that's
a
motion
to
approve
a
resolution
deputy
mayor
or
do
we
need
to
introduce
this?
Mr
miyake.
K
W
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki.
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
proposed
resolution.
9943
is
before
you
tonight.
That
resolution
would
authorize
the
funding
and
hiring
of
outside
counsel
for
the
east
bellevue
community
council.
So
just
to
give
some
brief
background.
On
april
26,
the
city
council
adopted
ordnance
6575,
which
established
some
minimum
parking
residential
parking
requirements
for
certain
housing
developments
in
areas
with
frequent
transit
service.
W
W
W
However,
there's
now
a
conflict
of
interest
between
the
ebcc
and
the
city,
such
that
the
city
attorney's
office
can
no
longer
represent
both
the
ebcc
is
now
in
need
of
separate
legal
counsel
to
advise
it.
With
respect
to
this
matter,
resolution
9943
would
authorize
the
city
attorney
to
hire
outside
counsel
separately
for
the
ebcc
and
assume
not
to
exceed
40
000,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
resolution
9943.
