Bellevue CM Conrad Lee, who has been in office since 1994, wants to convey that all modes of transportation are good, but that Bellevue can't have everything. "Driving is good!," he says.

Asked how to improve east-west bike infrastructure in Bellevue, Nicole Myers, challenging incumbent Mayor Lynne Robinson, says people should just take their bike on light rail or bike to the 520 trail.

🧵 of notes from today's Bellevue council candidate forum!

Ryan Packer @typewriteralley.bsky.social · 3d

I'm at a candidate forum for Bellevue city council candidates this afternoon, where one candidate earlier suggested that the city should build parking garages under parks for EV charging and another just called autonomous vehicles the only long-term solution for traffic safety issues.

Local elections matter. Transportation matters. The five people who win Bellevue's elections in November will make decisions that affect *you* - don't you wanna know what they think?

I see residents of Bellevue's Newport Hills have decided to go with the talking point that their streets have a "1960s design" as the reason that they can't handle additional housing density.

To me, a "1960s design" would be building another highway through the area, demolishing hundreds of homes.

Tuned into the Bellevue Planning Commission meeting tonight where a resident of Eastgate is complaining that high school students who attended an open house on a neighborhood plan in Eastgate were "bribed" with extra credit to be there, pushing for youth to not be given "equal weight" with others.

Great news! @lgbtqvictoryfund.bsky.social announced it is endorsing my race for LWSD School Board Director! It is supporting my candidacy because they know that I will be a strong voice for equality when elected and that, with your support, I'm on-track to win.

This is big news: Sound Transit is proposing to launch a new overnight ST Express network, once Federal Way and East Link are both fully operational.

There would be three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SeaTac-Seattle, and Redmond-Seattle. Headways are still TBD, but expected to be around 30 min.

Overnight Service Proposal
Purpose & Goals
• Provide overnight bus service along Link lines and
core ST Express network.
• Serve riders and destinations with continuous or nontraditional need, such as hospitals and the airport.
• Combined with Metro’s late-night network, 85% of
Link station areas would be served all day and all
night.
Service Proposal
• Three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SEA-Seattle,
and Redmond-Seattle
• Service from approx. midnight to 5 a.m., 7 days/wk;
could also support Link maintenance window expansion
• Headways: 15-60min
