Environment Policy Moves

Environment, which encompasses natural features, such as trees, steams, wetlands, and open spaces – all of which foster connection to nature, support local wildlife, and contribute to Bellevue’s identity as a “City in a Park”. Policies in this section will be developed to support the neighborhood’s contributions toward the health of the larger ecosystem as a resource to be enjoyed for future generations.

Goal

To foster a resilient, healthy, and vibrant neighborhood by enhancing natural systems, connecting people to parks and open spaces, and supporting long-term community well-being.

Policy Moves

Increasing tree canopy to support a greener, healthier, and more resilient neighborhood.

Improving awareness and access to parks and natural areas

Mitigating climate vulnerabilities related to air quality, flooding, and extreme heat

Encouraging integration of natural elements, such landscaping and green infrastructure, into hardscape areas
