Wilburton Eastrail Trail Design Framework

Consultation has concluded

Built on a former railroad, the Eastrail trail will eventually connect Eastside cities from Renton all the way to Woodinville and Snohomish County. But the Eastrail has the potential to be much more than a trail. In 2018 the Wilburton Commercial Area Citizen Advisory Committee presented recommendations to the City Council that envision the Eastrail trail as a signature public space that draws people not just for commuting but to linger and enjoy art, nature and retail, and community events all along the route. There is also a strong desire to recognize the history and diversity of the area.

To help make sure this vision is realized the City of Bellevue is partnering with King County Parks and Sound Transit to develop a vision for the portion of the Eastrail trail that runs from SE 5th Street to NE 12th Street in Wilburton.

The goals of this effort are to understand what the community would like to see in this space, how the trail can integrate with surrounding businesses, and how the trail can be a welcoming space for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

    Wilburton Eastrail Survey

    Thank you for your interest in the Eastrail project. In this survey we are focusing specifically on the Wilburton Segment. This part of the trail is going to run through a vibrant, mixed-used neighborhood. There will be multi-family housing, office space, retail, and entertainment. The Eastrail will be the spine of this neighborhood with opportunities to enjoy green space, meet with friends, spend time with family or get to work. 

    In this survey we are interested in learning more about the types of features and amenities people would like to see along the trail. We also want to understand how to make sure the trail is safe, comfortable and inclusive for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Your feedback will help us create a design framework that will inform future development along the trail. 

    It should take you about 10 minutes to complete the survey.
