Cultivating Pedestrian Street Traffic
15 June 2001 - 8:00am
A new development in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue has resulted in a resurgance of foot traffic and created an atmosphere of urban vitality.
"It doesn't take a keen eye to see a pedestrian renaissance is poking through the concrete jungle at Bellevue's busiest intersection.

Planners for the city hope other developers will follow suit, creating an appealling commercial district for pedestrians.
