Eastrail (2021) Downtown Park Meydenbauer Bay Park East Link Light Rail (2023) GRAND CONNECTION RESOURCES GRAND CONNECTION FRAMEWORK: SEQUENCE 1
On December 11, 2017 the Bellevue City Council adopted the Grand Connection Framework Plan. The plan establishes the high level foundational concepts for the Grand Connection between Meydenbauer Bay Park (100th Avenue NE and Main Street) and the Civic Center District. These concepts include route identity, cohesive design strategies, connectivity and mobility, and improvements to public space.
Adoption of the plan now follows with updates to the Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Code, and the development of Design Guidelines. The second volume of the plan addresses the Interstate 405 crossing and its interface with the Wilburton Commercial Area and Eastrail (previously known as the Eastside Rail Corridor.)
