Proposed Speed Cushions on City Streets - Survey Extended to Feb. 23 Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

Bellevue is adding speed cushions on several slow streets throughout the city, and staff want your feedback!

Share your thoughts on common-sense measures to slow people down on streets like Main St, 156th Ave, Allen Rd, and more!

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

The formers in Bothell tried to brand us the same way. It's what people who have no actual argument that resonates with voters do. Just flail around making stuff up in public comment.

It's embarrassing for them, especially with the repudiation they got from Woodinville voters a few months ago.

Still thinking about KUOW's Week in Review Friday, where former city attorney Ann Davison downplayed the role of alcohol in traffic fatalities and Sandeep Kaushik framed a 0.05% BAC level as "nanny state" (but surveillance cameras around the city that could be accessed by the federal gov are not).

The cities of Olympia, Portland, and Seattle could soon pass bills that would extend anti-discrimination protections to people in polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships. An exclusive story at #Cascadia Journal: www.cascadia-journal.com/polyamory-ri...

Feels topical to bring this article back up. So glad to have this dude on CSB's steering committee www.theurbanist.org/2025/06/16/o...

So, still just checking my understanding, are they say that by making the escalators/stairs have greater horizontal distance they don't have to dig as deep down? Cause the one formed by the stairs is the only trapezoid I'm seeing in that slide

I'd been sitting in front of King Street Station for thirty minutes at this point and only realized it was the line about 10 minutes before I took the photo, so it's been like this for a while now. There were no extra afternoon trains added afaik

Line for Sounder (! that it exists) is insane right now. Stretches down 2nd Ave

Have officially seen the Lombardi with my own two eyes

Who did I capture on digital zoom just absolutely downing this Bud Light?

Now that I actually have signal, doing the thing and posting my photos

Everybody at 4th and Washington has these towels and I love them

The color of the sky in Seattle is lapis lazuli #405e95

Was already standing room only after Sumner, now at least 100+ people not going to be able to board this train at Kent

So good to see so many new people taking the Sounder this morning! Lots of people asking questions and station attendants are doing a good job of answering them.

SHIVERS - A grey rain falls on Martinaise. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. Forever.

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Watching Bellevue City Council meetings, this was a requirement because of Conrad Lee alone (not anymore, yay!)

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

A table showing the number of deaths and serious injuries on Bellevue streets in 2025 by month. In total, 3 people were killed and 37 people were seriously injured. The months with the highest totals were June and October, each with six serious injuries and no fatalities.

Preliminary numbers show that 40 people were seriously injured or killed on Bellevue streets in 2025 - a record high.

2026 needs to be a year of record-level action and investment in safe infrastructure to turn the tide. Our city cannot wait.

Biggest takeaway from the Paul Rothrock interview is he’s a low-key urbanist. Has real thoughts on commuter vs metro rail, where we should be putting mass transit and expressed an affinity for Olmsted parks.

Oh cool this is literally around the corner from me cool cool cool cool cool

Working on this the past couple of weeks has been the biggest remedy to my imposter syndrome in *years*.

I'm really proud of the work we've been able to do, and I'm sincerely, *truly* grateful for everybody that has supported us - in whatever form, whenever you could.

Thanks.

A picture from CSB's Parking Day event in September. A lawn bowling kit is present in the foreground. In the background, a family talks with an outreach member from Transit Riders Union around a table with a yellow tablecloth. There is also a space in between with plants and a bench. All objects are in the on-street parking spaces along NE 1st St in Downtown Bellevue.

Our 2025 Annual Report is now live on our site!

Thank you to all the friends and colleagues that helped us accomplish some big things this past year.

We're excited to make even more good things happen in Bellevue transportation in 2026 and beyond!
