Bellevue supports walking and biking as safe, healthy and attractive alternatives to driving. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Plan articulates a shared vision of a desirable future that remains relevant today. The Pedestrian & Bicycle Implementation Initiative (PBII) is a complement of action-oriented efforts that will advance project designs and programs identified in the Ped-Bike Plan to make Bellevue a great place to walk and bike.
The City of Bellevue is looking for volunteers interested in supporting their Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative efforts.
