In 2007, after several years of acquiring land for a new waterfront park at Meydenbauer Bay, Bellevue began planning the park and a land use plan to reconnect the waterfront with nearby upland areas. The master planning phase is now nearing completion.

Park Board's Recommended Plan Headed to Council
On April 13, the Parks & Community Services Board completed its review of the draft Meydenbauer Bay Park and Land Use Plan. At the conclusion of three public meetings, including a public hearing, the Park Board voted 6 to 1 to recommend that the City Council adopt the plan, which was prepared by the Meydenbauer Bay Steering Committee.

The Committee's plan was completed following two and a half years of public meetings and the preparation of draft and final environmental impact statements.

The Park Board will present its recommendation to City Council at a Study Session beginning at 6 p.m. on June 7 at City Hall. Park Board and City Council agendas and background information

Steering Committee Recommendation
In 2007 the City Council appointed a steering committee to ensure the project would be carried out according to the community's vision.

On November 19, 2009, after 21 public meetings and the release of the final environmental impact statement, the Meydenbauer Bay Park and Land Use Plan Steering Committee issued its final recommendation for the project. The Steering Committee recommendation is part of the draft master plan for this long-envisioned community asset.

Next Steps
Several steps remain before the master planning process is complete. These include the following (schedule is subject to change):

City Council review and adoption of master plan (beginning June 2010)
Planning Commission review and recommendation on related Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code amendments (late 2010 or 2011)
Council adoption of Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code amendments (late 2010 or 2011)
