The Seattle Times reported today the big plans that the City of Bellevue’s steering committee have suggested for the Bel-Red Corridor.
The Bel-Red Corridor is full of run down shopping and industrial complexes. It hardly fits in with the exponentially growing areas of Downtown Bellevue. Because there is so much land in this 900-acre corridor it could potentially be the last time for a long while that the City of Bellevue gets an opportunity to create major change in a large area so close to the heart of Downtown Bellevue.
Some of the highlighted and potential upgrades to the area would include high-rise buildings, a recreational sports complex, and an arts district. Many of the ideas such as recreational sports complex which would include ballfields, an aquatic center, an indoor sports facility would support the many people that will be living Downtown in the coming years.
The plans aren’t final, the council likely won’t sign off on a plan until next spring or summer.
