Join walking audits to improve road safety in BelRed and Wilburton

Published May 6 2026

Community walking audits June 6, July 25 and August 22

Community members are invited to participate in walking audits in the BelRed and Wilburton neighborhoods to help improve safety for people walking, rolling, cycling, driving and taking transit.

Participants will walk a street in the city's High-Injury Network-a small number of streets (8%) where the majority (68%) of Bellevue's fatal and serious-injury collisions occur-alongside transportation staff and help identify locations where safety could be improved, especially for vulnerable road users.

Each walking audit will be approximately one mile (subject to change), take place 10 a.m.-noon on a Saturday and can have up to 30 participants.

The walking audits will be along the following corridors (more details on the Road Safety Assessments webpage):

• June 6: 116th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street (Wilburton)
• July 25: Northeast 12th Street/Bel-Red Road and 120th Avenue Northeast (BelRed and Wilburton)
• Aug. 22: Northup Way/Northeast 20th Street, 140th Avenue Northeast and 148th Avenue Northeast (BelRed)

Those unable to attend in person can share feedback on these streets through an online survey open until the end of September. Learn more, sign up for a walking audit or take our online survey at Road Safety Assessments.

Community input is a vital part of improving safety for everyone using city streets. Feedback from the audits and survey will be combined with industry best practices to identify and prioritize potential improvements.
