Road Safety Near Schools: Feedback Questionnaire

We need your input! As part of our Vision Zero initiative, the Bellevue Transportation Department is evaluating the safety of walking and biking along High Injury Network (HIN) streets, where most of the city’s fatal and serious-injury collisions occur. These Road Safety Assessments (RSAs), which are being conducted near several schools within Bellevue, will document current roadway conditions based on the experiences and observations of those who travel the streets. The feedback will be used to improve safety and comfort for people who walk and bike on these roadways. In the coming winter and spring months, we will evaluate the streets listed below and highlighted on map of study areas (to the right) through various engagement opportunities, including community walk audits (schedule to be announced).

RSA Study Area 1

• NE 24^th Street between 161^st Avenue NE and 167^th Avenue NE
• 164^th Avenue NE between NE 26^th Street and NE 19^th Street

RSA Study Area 2

• NE 20^th Street/Northup Way between 140^th Avenue NE and 162^nd Avenue NE
• Bel-Red Road between 140^th Avenue NE and NE 20^th Street
• 148^th Avenue NE between NE 20^th Street and NE 8^th Street

RSA Study Area 3

• 140^th Avenue NE between Bel-Red Road and SE 8^th Street
• Main Street between 140^th Avenue and 148^th Avenue
• 148^th Avenue between NE 8^th Street and SE 8^th Street

Questionnaire and interactive map

The purpose of this online engagement site is to better understand your feelings about safety and comfort along these streets as a person walking or biking along them. The questionnaire will also ask you about the schools you or your dependent(s) (e.g. child/ren) attend, if applicable, and seek answers to voluntary demographic questions.

We ask to you complete two tasks. The first is to complete a series of questions by selecting the Questionnaire tab below. You must click the “submit” button at the end of the questionnaire to record your responses. In the second task, we ask you to “pin” your concerns at specific locations by selecting the Interactive Map tab below. Completing both will take approximately 7 to 10 minutes.

The “Ask a Question” tab allows you to ask us about the process; answers will be posted on this site.

The use of RSAs is a key strategy in Bellevue's Vision Zero effort to eliminate traffic deaths and serious-injury collisions on city streets by 2030.We are pleased to partner with the Bellevue School District to directly involve students and parents. We appreciate your valuable input.
