Project delay news:
While Redmond's website still says the Bel-Red Road buffered bike lane project will be complete by the end of 2025, that's been pretty clearly not true for a while, and the traffic cams website has a _separate_ note that I'm sure is more recent saying that the project timeframe has been extended into February.
I certainly wish cities were better at updating their websites.
Anyway, I only saw that today, so now you know too.

Buffered Bike Lanes - Bel-Red Road (West Lake Sammamish Parkway to NE 30th Street)

[project map]
Location:
Bel-Red Road from West Lake Sammamish Parkway to NE 30th
Project Phase: Construction
Timeline: Construction started in August 2025 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Project Overview
This project will add buffered bike lanes to Bel-Red Road from West Lake Sammamish Parkway to NE 30th Street. This will be accomplished by restriping the road to remove the second southbound (uphill) travel lane. The project will modify intersections to better accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. Approximately 1000 feet of degraded stormwater pipe will be replaced, and the road will be repaved between WLSP and NE 40th Street. Curb ramps along Bel-Red will also be upgraded to current ADA standards.
A section of Bel-Red Road is within the City of Bellevue. The removal of one southbound lane at NE 30th Street to connect the buffered bike lanes through the intersection is under review by Bellevue.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/708/081/748/540/101/original/6f00796e891b09e4.png)

Faith in Families secures nearly £250k Welsh Government funding for Bonymaen Community Cwtch
Faith in Families Swansea has secured £248,975 from the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Integration and Rebalancing Capital Fund to develop the next phase of its Bonymaen Community Cwtch project.
The funding will support detailed design and business case work for an Integrated Health and Wellbeing Hub at the former St Margaret’s Church on Mansel Road. The disused building has been gifted to the charity by the Church in Wales, paving the way for a major redevelopment that would bring community, health and wellbeing services together under one roof.
“Hope back to the Eastside of Swansea”
Faith in Families Chief Executive, Cherrie Bija, said the project had grown out of stark realities facing local children.
“When we first started this project back in 2021, with the support of an incredible fundraising dinner at Morgans Hotel sponsored by Swansea.com, guests were appalled to learn that 18% of children in our city were living in poverty. That figure has now shamefully risen to 31%,” she said.
“Our projects are teaching children to be resilient, to find personal tools to live in adversity — and that’s appalling in itself. We want children to be children, not to worry about hunger, cold, or missing out. This project gives hope back to the Eastside of Swansea, showing that our city cares, that Swansea stands together, and that we will create a place where all children can live, grow, work, and play.”
A community‑led vision
The Bonymaen Community Cwtch is part of Faith in Families’ wider ambition to create a “one‑stop hub” for health, care and community services. The charity says the model will co‑locate partners from across sectors while giving residents a direct role in shaping services through community consultation and co‑design.
Cherrie Bija added:
“This is an incredible moment for us all thanks to a collaboration of partners — a huge step forward for Bonymaen, Faith in Families, and the communities we serve. This milestone is not just about a successful application; it’s about partnership, determination, and a shared belief in what we can achieve together.
“Child poverty is everyone’s business — government, charity, and community alike. No single sector or group can solve it alone. But together, we can and we will make a difference for our children.”
Next steps
The charity is now working with professionals including Luke Hurley of Hurley and Davies to formalise designs and develop the full business case. A series of community consultation events will be held in the coming months, inviting residents to help shape the future of the former St Margaret’s Church site.

Redmond Central Connector Phase 3 - which will connect the existing downtown-and-parts-northwest RCC to Eastrail at NE 124th St. - finally has a firm opening date of Friday, September 12th.
As the RCC functionally meets up with East Lake Sammamish Trail, this link will also provide a functional connection there. It also looks like it'll be basically the best connection from Redmond to Totem Lake and at least parts of Juanita
Ribbon cutting is scheduled for 10am.

@shilkytouch @gullevek @redhero I think we even looked at Hakuō many years ago, do remember visiting it. Seems to be a popular #eastside target but crazy entry requirements because of lack of enough public options. Ended up on the other side of town, private. More money to the school but no money spend on juku.
