  • Eastside Rail Corridor Regional Trail Draft Master Plan and Environmental Impact Statement
    EASTSIDE RAIL CORRIDOR REGIONAL TRAIL DRAFT MASTER PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT KING COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION FEBRUARY 2016 Dear Friends: In our rapidly developing region, we are fortunate to be able to preserve the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) in public ownership from Renton to Snohomish. The regional vision for the ERC is to develop a multi-use corridor that enhances mobility and connectivity, supports utility infrastructure needs, and provides recreational opportunities. Within this broader vision, the ERC offers a unique opportunity to create a nonmotorized (regional trail) connection between many vibrant, growing, and dynamic areas, providing a safe and enjoyable recreational experience for people of all ages and abilities and promoting healthy, livable communities. One day, it’s possible this corridor may connect from Vancouver WA to Vancouver BC. The intent is to develop a regional trail in the 15.6 miles of ERC under its ownership and the 1.1 miles of ERC owned by Sound Transit in which the County holds a trail easement that does not preclude future transit or utility use of the ERC, while meeting the following objectives: Connect Eastside communities by linking to: o Existing and planned regional and local trails o Transit centers, park and rides, and East Link light rail stations o Residential, commercial, and business centers Provide nonmotorized active transportation options and expand recreational opportunities to: o Benefit public health o Improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions o Expand access for underserved areas of King County Incorporate Eastside heritage and culture Support opportunities for economic development This Master Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is an important first step towards planning, environmental review, design, and construction of a regional trail in the corridor.

Like Transit-Oriented Development, trail-oriented development involves focusing/targeting new businesses, community spaces, and public projects in areas adjacent to, near, and otherwise accessible from trail infrastructure. This offers residents, employees, owners, entrepreneurs, and customers more freedom to choose how they travel, and will lead to more interaction, use, and stimulation, and improvement in the local economy and community. We examine a series of case studies from other cities to interpret their experiences with trail-oriented development and to draw insight from the benefits and costs observed there and apply these lessons to Bellevue’s unique situation. When moving forward in the quarter, we dove into the case studies, gathering important information as to how Bellevue can apply different methods to the ERC.

  • Creating Connections
    PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The legislation that established the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) described several expectations for the group’s work, including • Coordinate planning and development activities to the extent possible to ensure effective use of the southern portion of the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) and the Redmond Spur. • Oversee the partner planning process including implementing and coordinating the trail, high-capacity transit, and utility uses in the ERC. • Coordinating with affected cities around local planning and development. • Address both near-term and long-term recommendations. • Recommend any needed changes to the county’s countywide planning policies. • Reach out to a broad spectrum of stakeholders. This report provides a summary of the RAC’s work to accomplish those objectives, and identifies actions necessary to continue this collaborative approach among the owners. The report begins by describing the RAC’s vision for the corridor, the history of the ERC, and the process used by the RAC to develop these recommendations. In the subsequent chapters the report • Details the current conditions in the corridor, broken into five planning segments. It describes current uses adjacent to the corridor, the major constraints that will need to be resolved (pinch points, steep slopes, narrow trestles, etc.), opportunities for connections (trails, high-capacity transit, parks, utility corridors, etc.), and any significant plans of neighboring communities that could impact the corridor. • Presents several Principles developed by the RAC to guide more detailed recommendations. • Makes recommendations divided into several sections: Creation of a regional legacy for future generations, outlining plans to promote the corridor as a regional spine for mobility and economic development, be developed to capture local culture, history, and scenic values, and reflect the values of public health, public safety, equity and social justice, and sustainability.
