It has been suggested vehicles be prohibited here because they block the views, and remain parked with engines idling and music playing. If cars were prohibited, and pavement removed, the overlook area could be expanded and made more pedestrian-friendly. Do you agree this is a good idea?

DATE 1 This should be an area for pedestrians to enjoy the view ! 6/22/2021 9:22 AM 2 The view at the park is amazing and I think it is underappreciated. Cars parking at the overlook 6/21/2021 9:46 AM spot does not facilitate equal access to the view. 3 It would be better to enforce the laws. It is an iconic view. Many seniors and tours can drive 6/18/2021 1:01 PM around to see the view. If the pavement were removed, this would restrict the view to people who were physically able to walk in. 4 The view is the best feature of the park. 6/16/2021 6:29 PM 5 Right now it encourages drinking and drug use. Cars parked obscure the view for others. Plus 6/15/2021 6:49 PM 9 / 37 Bellevue Park Feedback people throw trash from their cars on the ground along with their cigarettes. Often moving cars cannot get passed cars parked. 6 Everything should be more pedestrian friendly. 6/15/2021 12:31 AM 7 The cars are always there, and the music tends to be disruptive. 6/15/2021 12:30 AM 8 There's a parking spot for cars already 6/14/2021 2:54 PM 9 I’m really unsure on this as I see the advantages/disadvantages of both choices. It’s 6/14/2021 1:28 PM frustrating with the music and idling on the other hand I like how you can just pull through slowly on a cold day to catch the view. 10 Cars are very disruptive to the natural beauty and spirit of the overlook area. There are plenty 6/14/2021 11:46 AM of other places for cars to park besides the overlook. Along with their noise, pollution, and physical clutter, cars create additional and unnecessary risk for children who are enjoying the overlook. 11 Expanded safe access for the park’s primary attraction, and the potential to host events and 6/14/2021 9:05 AM other activations to promote active lifestyles and strengthen community. 12 I agree it would help make the viewing experience more pleasurable though it might cause 6/13/2021 11:40 PM even more congestion. I tried to park today in the lot and it was very hard to turn around 13 If this were combined with concessions, perhaps some cafe tables and chairs could be added 6/13/2021 6:09 PM as well. An example of this is Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, which has a bandshell for free music events and a concession stand run by a local restaurant. https://www.minneapolisparks.org/parks__destinations/parks__lakes/lake_harriet_park/ http://www.breadandpickle.com/about-us 14 This is sensible 6/13/2021 4:59 PM 15 I think that the area would be more kid friendly and promote the community if this went into 6/13/2021 4:43 PM place. 16 Less cars more park= good 6/13/2021 4:42 PM 17 This solution would give the park back to the pedestrian instead of the car. Often when I come 6/13/2021 4:39 PM here on my bike I find it annoying to have idling cars on the roundabout spewing fumes and blocking the views. 18 Would love the more area to walk around 6/13/2021 4:23 PM 19 Id rather have more park than parking, I personally can take the walk to get to the park 6/13/2021 3:56 PM 20 Always love more pedestrian space! But I also want the park to be more accessible since it’s 6/13/2021 3:52 PM up on a hill 21 I think it would be an excellent idea as long as there is adequate recreation areas such as 6/13/2021 3:51 PM picnic tables and benches. People tend to use their cars because they are air conditioned and it’s an excellent view. I also believe it would bring in more visitors who are there to use the park for picnics and other activities. 22 Park usage would be far more pleasant if full use of the loop were allowed. 6/13/2021 2:30 PM 23 As someone without a car its never bothered me 6/13/2021 2:15 PM 24 I’d rather green space than idling cars and loitering. People can walk to see the view. 6/10/2021 7:12 PM 25 The cars spoil the peaceful spot. 6/10/2021 7:03 PM 26 Agree, but make an effort to allow for vehicles in case of accessibility needs. The view should 6/10/2021 2:39 PM be able to be enjoyed by all. 27 The loud cars, with engines running and blocking the views, are a real detriment to a good 6/8/2021 11:19 PM outdoor experience for pedestrians and their families. It is unsafe and intimidating, especially in the evening. I have witnessed people in their cars shooting up drugs. 28 The idling of cars is just awful. No need to do that with climate issues. It’s noisy too. 6/6/2021 8:58 PM 29 No good reason to let cars park. Make sure the overlook is ADA accessible and I don’t believe 6/6/2021 8:57 PM anyone’s experience would be hampered by removing the circle. 10 / 37 Bellevue Park Feedback 30 It would enhance the view and force the fools blocking it to park elsewhere 6/4/2021 5:17 AM 31 Pavement should remain. This is a lovely park and parking needs to be prohibited in the 6/1/2021 4:44 PM circular drive.
