Hello
and
welcome
to
Lake
to
Lake
a
show
about
our
beautiful
city
of
Bellevue
I'm,
your
host
Robin
Steele
today
we're
coming
to
you
from
the
Bellevue
Fire
Training
Center,
to
highlight
some
of
the
intense
work
recruits
undergo
to
serve
as
firefighters
in
our
community.
On
this
episode
of
Lake
to
Lake,
we
celebrate
a
theatre
director
who
has
served
our
community
for
almost
30
years.
Tour
Bellevue's
newest
park
highlight
a
new
driver
program
designed
to
put
the
brakes
on
accidents
and
finally,
we
throw
you
into
the
fire
with
some
new
recruits.
B
B
C
Just
a
couple
tokens
to
show
our
appreciation
for
what
you've
done
for
the
theater
for
over
the
past
20
years,
and
we
decided
to
give
you
this
plaque
that
says
the
Bellevue
theater
and
the
Bellevue
theater
foundation
acknowledge
the
dedication
of
James
McLane
over
the
coast
of
100,
shows
James
diligently
served
the
youth
and
community
of
the
City
of
Bellevue
April
2019
and
on
behalf
of
the
community
James,
it
has
been
very
wonderful.
It's
crazy.
C
D
That
this
art
that
I've
come
to
love
is
for
everyone.
It's
not
just
for
a
select
group
that
can
act,
it's
for
everyone
and
kids.
They
don't
need
rejection.
So
this
whole
idea
of
it
being
inclusive
and
working
with
disabled
young
people
and
adults,
working
with
kids
from
all
different
backgrounds
and
all
different
economic
levels.
It
is
truly
a
feeling
of
community
just
been
quite
a
journey,
quite
a
journey,
a
lot
of
people
along
the
way.
D
E
G
We're
here
today
at
Surrey
downs
Park,
which
is
a
park,
that's
been
over
ten
years
in
the
making.
We
just
completed
construction,
which
lasted
about
a
year,
but
what
we
did
was
we
completely
renovated
and
expanded.
What
was
a
small
park
with
a
couple
of
small
little
Little
League
fields,
and
it's
now
a
full
11
and
a
half
acre
neighborhood
park,
so
construction
began
in
early
2017
and
then
we
completed
that
this
spring,
and
so
the
park
is
open
for
use
well.
Most
of
the
features
here
reflect
the
interests
of
the
neighborhood.
G
We
work
with
them
through
both
of
these
master
planning
efforts
and
we
we
receive
probably
over
300
individual
comments.
Surrey
downs
Park
is
about
eleven
and
a
half
acres.
The
first
thing
I'd
like
to
show
you
is
right
up
here.
This
is
one
of
the
two
picnic
shelters
that
we
have
in
the
park.
There
they're
big
enough
for
small,
small
neighborhood
gatherings
or
families
that
was
specifically
requested
as
part
of
the
neighborhood
park
concept,
as
opposed
to
a
large
community
shelter
that
would
accommodate,
say
a
hundred
people.
G
These
were
are
much
smaller
to
accommodate
more
families
and
small
picnics
I'm
standing
here
in
the
in
the
basketball
area.
It's
great
for
pickup
games,
it's
one
of
those
things,
that's
great
for
the
neighborhood,
we're
now
at
the
playground,
equipment
area
and
there's
actually
two
different
parts
of
this.
The
first
part
right
behind
me
is
the
preschool
children's
area,
and
then
in
the
distance.
Then
we
have
the
playground
equipment
here
for
older
school-aged
kids.
G
So
we
have
a
distinction
between
the
ages
that
we
think
is
going
to
help
help
the
parents
in
supervising
their
their
youngsters.
The
hills
behind
me
are
also
a
reflection
of
the
work
we
did
with
the
neighborhood
and
their
interest
in
trying
to
buffer
the
impacts
of
light
rail
from
from
their
homes,
and
so
the
debate
was
whether
we
we
use
that
with
a
large
concrete
wall,
a
long
light,
rail
or
use
Hills
like
these
landforms.
G
In
the
background
to
do
that,
obviously,
we
believe
the
landforms
really
help
not
just
to
to
help
buffer
the
impacts
of
light
rail,
but
also
frame
many
of
the
walking
paths
that
will
be
featured
in
the
park
as
well
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
point
out
another
feature
of
the
park,
which
is
our
overlook.
The
in
the
background.
It's
an
overlook
that
will.
It
will
have
the
ability
to
take
a
look
at
the
light
rail
below
and
not
just
112,
but
I.
A
H
I
Not
before
right
up
those
candlesticks
okay,
this
training
started
as
a
collaboration
between
the
Bell
V,
Police
Department
and
the
risk
management
department
within
the
city
of
Bellevue.
We
work,
together
with
risk
management,
to
develop
a
curriculum
for
city
employees
to
go
through
defensive
driving
and
emergency
braking
training.
I
H
Teach
them
techniques
out
here
that
they
can
apply
on
a
day
to
day
basis,
they'll
have
less
incidences
with
the
trucks.
If
we
reduce
those
incidences,
we
can
reduce
the
cost
to
the
customer.
This
will
be
a
straight
line.
Braking
exercise.
Okay,
so
I
want
you
to
brake
as
hard
as
you
can.
You
should
initiate
ABS
yep
if
you
initiate
ABS
I,
want
you
to
come
off
just
a
little
bit.
If
you
curl
your
toes
okay,
you
might
come
off
of
ABS,
but
kind
of
you'll
fill.
