This is the Plan for our future, Bellevue!
It's our comprehensive plan and long-range transportation plan, guiding us for the next 20 years.
What is a comprehensive plan and a long-range transportation plan?
A comprehensive plan establishes a long-term vision for a community, focusing on land use, development, community character, housing, economic development, the natural environment, and more. A comprehensive plan is made up of goals, strategies, and illustrative plans.
A long-range transportation plan is a strategic roadmap that outlines transportation goals, strategies, and planned investments for a community. It considers all types of travel: vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders.
Why should this matter to me?
These plans examine what a community is, where it came from, and crafts a coordinated road map for the future. This road map guides the growth, travel, and development of the community for the next 10 to 20 years.

What did the planning process look like?
The planning process took about 12 months and consisted of six primary phases: from Discover, where a baseline understanding of Bellevue was developed, to Engage where the community shared their voice, to Plan and Refine when the actual road map for the future of topics like development, connectivity, and housing were recorded, to Implement and Sustain where we set the Plan up for success.
The Plan was adopted unanimously by City Council on November 19, 2024. Now it's time to bring the Plan to life!
