Walkers, bikers: ID imperfections with online mapping tool
BELLEVUE, Wash. – The city’s Transportation Department is asking the public to identify unsafe conditions or behaviors in Bellevue’s walking and bicycling network. Information gathered through a “wiki” mapping survey will be used to address locations where problems occur. Participate in the survey.
The online survey, which will be available through Oct. 31, allows users to locate an area of concern on a map, describe and evaluate the issue using a menu of options, choose a potential solution, make additional comments, and upload a photo of the location if desired.
The information will be used to design improvements. A broad cross-section of stakeholders and city staff will consider the input and develop action strategies to address locations and corridors where problems frequently occur.
Mapping where people notice hazardous conditions or behavior is just one of the tasks identified in Bellevue’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative.
The survey tool is meant to help transportation staff design facilities, develop education programs, and deploy enforcement activities to address safety issues. It is not intended to replace the city’s MyBellevue mobile app and portal, which is used to report maintenance issues such as potholes, and to request services.
Participate in the survey today and help make the City of Bellevue a safer place to bike and walk, or check out our volunteer page to see other ways you can get involved with the Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative.
