The City of Bellevue, Microsoft and the University of Washington are partnering to create a safer city for cyclists and pedestrians.

How? By predicting the future, of course.

The city’s transportation department, researchers for Microsoft and the university, and engineers from Seattle’s Toole Design Group are using existing infrastructure in Bellevue to see if there are patterns or data which can be used from collisions and “close-calls” to help pinpoint where they are most likely to occur. From this data, the entities are looking to prevent future crashes and maybe save some lives.

Franz Loewenherz, senior transportation planner for Bellevue’s transportation department, is taking the city’s lead on the project.

He has likened the project to the 2002 science-fiction film “Minority Report,” in which police can predict crimes before they happen.

The start to this Philip K. Dicklike predictive future begins with collecting a significant amount of data.

“We have great data on auto and transit traffic,” he said. “But we have no good data on bike and

Firefighters seek more donations for annual drive

BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER

Despite the usual outreach to the community, the Toy and Food Drive operated by the Bellevue Firefighters Community Support Foundation is finding itself well short of their goal.

The drive, which gives food and toys for Bellevue families in need, has collected only 1,000 toys of the 5,000 gift target. The drive runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 9.

Lt. Ryan Armstrong, public information officer for the Bellevue Fire Department, said he is baffled by the shortfall.

“We’re advertising the same, we have signs at our fire stations which are very prominent and extremely visible,” he said.

“It’s not a down year in the economy. I’m just not sure what it is.”

New, unwrapped gifts for underprivileged children are accepted at all nine Bellevue Fire Department stations. Those toys are slated to be handed out at the

Crossroads Youth Holiday Party on Dec. 15. Nonperishable canned and prepackaged food will go to Hopelink, which will disperse them to food banks in Bellevue.

Despite the rush for the youth party, gifts will be accepted up until Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, for distribution.

“It’s an amazing feeling when you pull up in the truck and start handing out toys,” Armstrong said. “Usually there is a room full of toys you get to hand out to someone in need.”

Toy suggestions for infants include stuffed animals. Ideas for children 3-10 include new books, games, sports equipment, dolls, cars and trucks. Gift cards are always welcome for teens and pre-teens.

“It’s a way for anyone feeling blessed this holiday season to give back,” Armstrong said.

Bellevue Chipotle locations receive unsatisfactory health inspections

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Both Chipotle locations in Bellevue received unsatisfactory health inspection reports little more than a week after they had reopened following an E.coli outbreak.

The locations on Northeast 4th Street and 156th Avenue Northeast each received several violations during routine inspections on Nov. 20. Among the violations were improper washing of fruits and vegetables, improper cooling temperatures, inadequate hand-washing facilities and improper cooking time and temperature.

“We have a solid track record with health departments around the country and work very hard to maintain the cleanliness of our restaurants. These health department inspection results are simply not acceptable, and we will follow up with our restaurant teams to be sure all of these issues are addressed,” said Chris Arnold, communications director for Chipotle.

Due to the unsatisfactory inspection results, both locations will undergo reinspection within the next two weeks.

Neither was shut down.

The chain mexican restaurant voluntarily closed more than 40 restaurants in Washington and Oregon after an E.coli outbreak was linked back to them.

At least 25 people were infected in

Washington and another dozen cases were reported in Oregon. Six residents fell ill in King County, with two people being hospitalized.

“After Chipotle re-opened county-wide earlier this month, we’ve continued to pay close attention to ensure they’re doing everything they can to protect the public. It’s routine practice for us to conduct detailed inspections on a facility soon after an outbreak investigation,” said King County Public Health spokesperson James Apa. King County Public Health has not received any further reports of illness associated with this outbreak since the reopenings, Apa added.

The same day the Bellevue locations were inspected, the company released a statement saying it is working with state and federal health officials during the investigation and has taken aggressive steps in ensure food safety.

“Specifically, the company conducted deep cleaning at the restaurants that have been linked to this incident, replacing ingredients in those restaurants, changing food preparation procedures, providing all necessary supply chain data to investigators and surveying employees to be sure none have had any symptoms of illness (note: no Chipotle employees in any states have been ill related to this incident),” the company said in the press release.

Letters to the editor Make ST demonstrate capacity The Nov. 13 Bellevue Reporter included an article about Sound Transit’s second of four weekend partial closures of the I-90 bridge to implement changes required for adding fourth lanes to the bridge outer roadways. They currently don’t intend to finish the modifications and allow commuters to use the added lanes until 2017.

Sound Transit should be required to expedite modifying the outer roadway and substantiate the 2008 DEIS claim: “Travel times across I-90 for vehicles and trucks would also improve or remain similar with East Link” by temporarily closing the center roadway..

Their current plan to delay the lanes until it’s too late to prevent center roadway closure poses an unacceptable risk for commuters.

Bellevue must work for common good on Energize Eastside Our communities, at all levels, must consider how Puget Sound Energy’s proposed Energize Eastside project limits the Eastside’s sustainable long-term growth via higher electricity rates.

High electricity rates limit economic growth. High electricity rates limit business creation/growth/relocation, create taxation issues, contribute to socioeconomic disparity and cause livability distress. High electricity rates place affordable housing further out of reach for hard-working families on the Eastside.

Access to affordable, reliable electricity is essential to our long-term sustainable growth.

All 1.1 million PSE customers will pay for Energize Eastside. There is an obligation to 1.1 million citizens to first evaluate all viable alternatives for reliable, affordable electricity. As good stewards of our shared resources – material, financial, land – we must pursue the best solutions, not the most expedient solution.

Better alternatives have been identified that promote smart, sustainable growth and are more cost-

Help refugees in their home countries Yes, we are a generous and caring nation, but the first responsibility is to protect our country and citizens. If the president and governor want to bring thousands of refugees to the U.S., then settle them around the White House and the Governor’s Mansion.

Homeland Security and other agencies have stated it is impossible to vet all refugees so that terrorist do not get through the borders like one Syrian “refugee” got through the and attacked Paris.

We can help establish safe areas in the refugees’ own homeland and send food, shelter etc. to those areas to provide for them “in place.” Don’t jeopardize the U.S. population any more by providing an avenue for more ISIS killers to infiltrate more than has already happened.

Larry Brickman, Bellevue

Flashing yellow lights are dangerous, confusing Those flashing yellow lights are dangerous. In most other states it’s just blank. They have a red arrow if you can’t turn. No light means you may turn, yielding to traffic of course, if it’s safe.

But here the yellow lights can turn on while the straight light is red. That can be really confusing.

Almost everyone in my family has turned left on a yellow not realizing that the oncoming traffic was about to get a green light. Another case is when they go yellow, and then blinking yellow (because oncoming cars have a turn arrow then). Maybe we’ll get used to them, but there are too many cases where they can be confusing.

Our traffic managers are trying to micromanage our behaviors into a set of systems so complex it’s

hard for us to process.

Shawn Steele, Bellevue

How to avoid phone scams The recent warning about phone scams for donations to the State Patrol (and other organizations) prompts me to respond with the simple solution our family has. We make NO commitments for donations over the phone unless we initiate the call.

This applies both to organizations we support and those we don’t.

When some one calls to solicit, you are never sure it is for real or a scam. Rejecting all such calls eliminates the need to try to verify the validity of the caller. This is an absolute policy in our house.

Hal Mozer, Bellevue

Wrong focus on election Regarding the Nov. 27 Opinion page, I was shocked at how out of touch the editorial page was.

The November election saw very significant gains for Democrats and Independent voters in Bellevue.

Claudia Balducci has won the seat for King County Council, and John Chelminiak and Vandana Slatter have won their seats for Bellevue City Council.

With these wins, how is it possible that your editorial page focused on Republican gains? That is certainly not true of our district.

The Bellevue Reporter is marketed to appeal to all residents in the city. If there is a partisan bent to your paper, you should be subscription based.

King County Council backed up its commitment to arts and heritage institutions on Nov. 23 by awarding more than $2.8 million Building for Culture grants to several Eastside locations.

The largest of these grants went to the planned Tateuchi Center. The performing arts center designed for downtown Bellevue received $1.2 million to its capital campaign.

The grants are intended to maintain the cultural buildings.

John Haynes, executive director of the Tateuchi Center, said the windfall was an unexpected delight.

“Anytime someone gives you $1.2 million, it’s a good day,” he said. “That money will be used for construction. It really is beefing up our capital drive.”

More than 100 arts, heritage and preservation projects in King County received more than $28 million.

Council vice-chair Jane Hague said smart planning allowed for the council to reinvest in arts and culture.

“Our commitment to sound financial policies has resulted in a surplus

A Seattle-based community transportation group hopes that by presenting a plan to Sound Transit, they can help make light rail a reality for nearly everywhere in King, south Snohomish and north Pierce counties.

Today, Dec. 4, Seattle Subway will present a new idea to Sound Transit as the latter group gears up for a ballot initiative in the fall of 2016.

Seattle Subway is a community-led organization which wants Sound Transit to look long term at public transit in the area. It wants to urge Sound Transit to look at a 30-year tax plan rather than a 15-year plan, which members believe will be more cost-effective in the long run.

Jonathan Hopkins, spokesman for Seattle Subway, said the scale of his group’s idea shouldn’t discount it from consideration.

“I think the area needs another ambitious project,” he said. “We had an opportunity in 1968 to lay out many of the same routes we are proposing now, and I think we’ve been kicking ourselves for decades because we didn’t do it.”

Seattle Subway proposes a light-rail system built on a “spine” of rail corridor from Everett to Paine Field, through Seattle, down through Federal Way and ultimately ending at Tacoma. Eastside proposed routes include continuing the Eastside light rail extension on to downtown Redmond and a separate line from Totem Lake in Kirkland through Bellevue and over to Issaquah.

Other routes the group would like Sound Transit to consider include a line from Ballard to West Seattle and over to Renton and one connecting Ballard to Northgate, Kenmore and Woodinville.

“By using the extended timeline, we can actually finish some projects sooner,” Hopkins said. “Whether it be a 15- or 30-year plan, the tax rates could stay the same.”

Hopkins’ group has looked at Sound Transit’s estimates he said, and by eliminating the awkward stop-gap period between two separate ballot initiatives, Seattle Subway believes projects will be finished at a lower cost and sooner than doing it piecemeal.

Bruce Gray, spokesman for Sound Transit, said the transit board was going to assess all plans and determine what they wanted to put on the ballot for 2016.

“The board is having the workshop and has a menu

by paying off the Kingdome debt early,” she said.

“County-wide, and on the Eastside, this partnership with 4Culture is supporting significant investment in local arts, cultural and historic preservation projects such as the Bellevue Youth Theater, KidsQuest Museum, Kirkland Arts Center and Performance Arts Center Eastside, among others.”

4Culture is King County’s cultural services agency.

That agency and King County are using bonds backed by the hotel-motel tax to “build, maintain, expand, preserve and improve new and existing cultural facilities,” according to a press release.

Other capital grant funds include $1 million for the KidsQuest Museum, $400,000 for the Pacific Northwest Ballet, $75,000 each for the Louis S. Marsh House in Kirkland, Bellevue Youth Theatre, and Kirkland Arts Center and $50,000 for Music Works Northwest.

Arts and culture facilities can apply for next year’s Building for Culture Program by contacting and applying with 4Culture. That organization then independently reviews applicants to make final selections.

of projects to choose from,” he said. “They have a rough timeline of what they are looking at and will roll out plans for a ballot measure sometime in the spring or next summer.”

Despite all the “what ifs” of the proposal, Hopkins says Seattle Subway’s proposal is the only proposed solution so far which can deal with the estimated 1 million new residents without turning Seattle’s freeways into gridlock.

“Right now during rush hour from Ballard to the University District — one of the fastest growing areas — right now it takes 45 minutes to travel that corridor,” Hopkins said. “With light rail, it would be eight minutes.”

All numbers come from Sound Transit’s own estimates, he said. He also said the Eastside is getting short shrift when it comes to transit.

“There are a million people west of the lake and a million people east of it,” Hopkins said. “They need their own linked network, not just the remnants of Seattle’s.”

As a last point for why the plan isn’t as outlandish as it may seem at first brush, Hopkins said any tunneling to be completed would be just 1/7th the size of “Bertha” and using a different method through different geology.

“The last one of this method was to Husky Stadium and it came in nine months early and $150 million under budget,” he said.

Whether Sound Transit picks Seattle Subway’s plan or any of the bevy of other items “on the menu,” the meeting on Friday will have large implications for King County and the Eastside’s public transportation for years to come.

Local leaders voice support for refugees

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Congressmen Adam Smith and Jim McDermott, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, and King County Executive Dow Constantine joined together on Nov. 24 to stress that King County will welcome any refugees the area may receive.

“Today, we say to the diverse community of Washington state, comprised of many immigrants and refugees: we stand with you. Whether you worship in a mosque, a synagogue, a church, or not at all, you are welcome here,” Smith said.

Following the terrorist attacks in Paris and the rise in discussion over refugees and Muslims, McDermott, Smith, Murray and Constantine held a press conference to highlight the importance of not letting fear and panic undercut the long history that Washington has of opening its doors to those escaping hardship and despair.

“Seattle and King County remain a tolerant, welcoming and compassionate region with a long history as a safe haven for those seeking safety,” they said in a statement.

Not only was the state itself populated by people who migrated from other areas, but Washington accepted large numbers of Southeast Asian persons after the Vietnam war and has been one of the top resettlement states for the refugee program, said Jorge Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.

The political leaders were joined at the press conference by Baron, Arsalan Bukhari of

While there’s no way to guarantee absolutely no risk in accepting refugees from Syria and Iraq, but any potential refugees would undergo the most intense level of security background, said Baron. On the other hand, rejecting refugees based on their religion could undermine the country’s international credibility and provide long-term harm.

“It’s easy to say that we’re going to keep people out, but we have to think about the consequences of that,” said Baron. “It could actually feed into the rhetoric that ISIS and other terrorist groups have that the U.S. is against the Muslim world.”

Governor Jay Inslee previously gave his support to incoming refugees, in contrast to several other governors throughout the country. In a statement, he said that the U.S. has lost sense of who we are as a country and that Washington should remain a beacon of hope.

“We are a state – and a nation – that has always taken the path of promoting freedom and being a beacon of hope and refuge for those fleeing persecution. We’ve hewed to those values even in troubled times, and when we haven’t, we’ve regretted it. We regret that we succumbed to fear. We regret that we lost moorage for who we are as a country,” he said.

Police helicopter chases car thief suspect Sammamish students

caught stealing, planning to sell liquor to classmates online

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Police K9 units and King County Sheriff ’s police helicopter engaged in a late-night chase Nov. 20 to catch a suspect accused of stealing a car in Bellevue last month.

A Bellevue Police officer was on patrol when he spotted a Nissan Pathfinder with a license plate that didn’t match the vehicle description. It was later determined that the car had been stolen last month out of Clyde Hill and the license plates were stolen off a Chevy van in Seattle.

“Often times, suspects that steal vehicles will switch the license plates to avoid detection,” said Bellevue Police spokesperson Seth Tyler.

The officer pulled the car over due to the suspicious nature of the switched license plates, but the driver fled the scene on foot, evading the officer by jumping over a number of fences in the Lewis Creek area.

An image from police video showing the suspect running between houses.

Sheriff ’s police helicopter, was called in to assist in the chase.

“They were called to assist due to their ability to search a much larger area than ground units. In addition, the helicopter has a FLIR (forward looking infra-red) heat seeking camera, which allows the Officers in the air unit to locate suspects, even in complete darkness,” Tyler said.

Surveillance video from the helicopter shows the suspect running

through several homes’ backyards on 165th Place Southeast, stopping at one point to attempt to hide under one home’s deck.

With the suspect in the helicopter’s sights, officers surrounded the suspect, who eventually surrendered. Police recovered a cell phone the suspect threw over a fence. At this time, police say it is unknown why the suspect dumped the phone.

A Sammamish High School student arrested for shoplifting alcohol last month revealed that he and other students routinely steal liquor to sell to other students on Facebook.

The 15-year-old student was caught with another Sammamish student sneaking a $42 bottle of Hennessey whiskey into his backpack at the Factoria Mall Target location on Nov. 13. After being apprehended driving away from the scene by Bellevue Police, the suspect admitted to stealing the whiskey and told the arresting officer he intended to sell it online to other Sammamish High School students.

“The investigation revealed that the suspect and other Sammamish High School teens routinely steal liquor from local stores to sell through Facebook,” according to police records.

The school district did not comment on the issue except to say that they would pass the information along to Sammamish’s school resource officer.

“Bellevue Police Department and the district routinely work together when issues of this nature arise,” said spokesperson Christina Madden.

Police reports from Bellevue

November 24 Busted: A police lieutenant was advised by an off-duty officer of a suspicious vehicle parked at the FedEx location on Bellevue Way. The lieutenant found the suspect in the car, holding a freshly smoked meth pipe. The suspect was arrested for drug paraphernalia possession.

gation. While we cannot comment on an active investigation, Chief Mylett wants to ensure the public these performance issues do not involve violations of the public’s trust,” Tyler said in an email.

In cases involving Bellevue officers, it is standard procedure to ask an outside agency to conduct the investigation.

The news came mere weeks after former- Deputy Chief Michael Johnson abruptly retired before the department could launch an investigation on his violation of department policy. Johnson

was caught using the lights on his police vehicle to avoid stopping at intersections while driving his son and two others to a school event in October.

His decision to retire from the police department early essentially ended any investigation.

Members of the Bellevue Police Department have been involved in a handful of incidents over the last four years, including an officer letting a fellow officer he believed to be driving drunk off of the hook and lying about it last year, an extramarital affair between two officers in 2013 and two off duty officers harassing a Seattle police officer at the Seahawks game in 2012.

Held up: Five subjects wearing masks, gloves and hoodies entered Walgreens and “took over” the store by corralling the two working employees and refusing to let the lone shopper leave. One suspect presented a silver revolver and the group took an estimated $600 from the cash registers, several cartons of cigarettes, sweets and possibly bottles of liquor. The group then left toward the Neighborhood Church where a getaway car was most likely waiting. The employees waited several minutes to call 911, fearing the suspects had not left yet.

November 26 Jets vs. sharks: Four subjects were involved in a possible robbery/retaliation fight in the walkway between the transit center and the Rock Bottom restaurant.

The “victims” claimed the suspects attempted to rob them, while the suspects claimed the opposite and stated that the victim had “jumped” them the week before. The convoluted investigation is ongoing.

with a light pole, which fell and blocked nearly all lanes of the 11800 block of Northeast 8th Street. The driver then fled the scene in his vehicle, but left behind the grill to his Lexus and other evidence.

A witness reported an SUV fleeing the scene towards I-405 and Washington State Troopers, unaware of the hitand-run, observed the involved vehicle dragging his front bumper as he drove southbound on I-405. The driver was stopped and arrested for DUI. Brotherly battle: Neighbors reported a physical disturbance outside a residence on 173rd Avenue Northeast, including hearing the sounds of a fight and someone yelling “put the bat down.”

Officers arrived and determined that the intoxicated resident came home and broke up his brother’s house party.

The suspect then broke his brother’s phone, smashed a TV, broke a door and challenged the group to fight. Both brothers fought on several different occasions, with other partygoers assisting in breaking up each fight. Upon further questioning we learned that the brother grabbed an aluminum baseball bat and struck the suspect several times in the head, arms and body. The brother and most of his friends denied the bat was in play, but based on the suspect’s injuries and two independent witnesses, it was determined that probable cause existed to arrest the brother for assault.

November 29 Police chase: A male was inside the Lincoln Square Tower under construction and was chased by security officers three different times and would flee into the abyss of the structure to get away.

Eventually the subject was caught and he was arrested. He was turned over to his parents.

CRASH

The City of Bellevue’s prosecutor only handles gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor offenses, while felony charges are handled by the King County prosecutor. To have prosecuted either of the two potential misdemeanor charges for this case — reckless driving or negligent driving — it would have to be shown that the person was driving with willful disregard, or driving negligently while exhibiting the effects of drugs or alcohol.

The driver exhibited none of those classifications, according to attorney Jill Thiele with the city’s prosecutor’s office. Similar conditions would have to be met to prosecute felony charges, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

Cell phone data did not indicate that either driver was distracted by their cell phones while driving, and drugs and alcohol were ruled out as a factor in this crash, according to police.

The driver did have a prescription for and was taking carbamazepine, a medication used for a variety of ailments including seizures, nerve pain and bipolar disorder, among others. But, it was determined that the medication was not a factor in the crash.

left turn. The Nissan — driven by a 43-year-old Bellevue man — was pushed onto the sidewalk, striking the 28-month-old girl and her 25-year-old mother.

The mother was not seriously injured in the crash, but the child died at the scene.

An investigation into the crash confirmed early reports that the crash was caused by the Nissan driver’s failure to yield at a flashing yellow light. There was no evidence to support potential criminal felony or misdemeanor charges, according to prosecutors, although the driver was issued a infraction with a $187 penalty.

“The driver is going to be held accountable to the full limit of the law, and that is through this citation,” said Police Chief Steve Mylett. “This is a tragic, tragic situation, most certainly for this little girl and her family. Our condolences go out to them.”

Wolverines clinch berth in the state title game

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

It wasn’t the best day on the gridiron for Bellevue Wolverines, but it was proficient enough to clinch a spot in the Class 3A state championship game.

Bellevue captured a 56-28 victory against the Bishop Blanchet Braves in the Class 3A semifinals on Nov. 27 at the Tacoma Dome.

The Wolverines may have outscored the Braves by 28 points but its coaching staff and players weren’t completely thrilled with the performance. The Wolverines were penalized 11 times for 103 yards and also committed four turnovers on fumbles.

Despite the miscues, there were plenty of bright spots in the victory. Bellevue running back Ercle Terrell rumbled for three rushing touchdowns, cornerback Isaiah Gilchrist had three interceptions and quarterback Justus Rogers rushed for 104 yards and connected with Tyson Penn on a 51-yard touchdown pass. Jack Sampson, Isaiah Ifanse and Christoph Hirota each scored a rushing touchdown apiece. Gilchrist said it wasn’t pretty but was glad his team came out with the win.

“The first half was really tough,” Gilchrist said. “At halftime we went in and tried to correct as many errors as we could. At the end of the day its survive and advance.”

The Wolverines will return to the Tacoma Dome to play the Eastside Catholic Crusaders in the Class 3A state title game Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

The Crusaders defeated the Wolverines 35-13 in the 2014 Class 3A state title game. Last year’s loss is some-

thing that has been on the mind of Bellevue players for the past 12 months.

“We just have to have a great week of practice and get ready for Eastside Catholic. We knew they would get there and we can’t wait to play them,” Gilchrist said.

Bellevue defensive lineman Marquis Deweert, who scored on a 7-yard fumble return for a touchdown on Bishop Blanchet’s first offensive play from scrimmage which gave the Wolverines a 7-0 lead with 11:52 left in the first quarter, echoed Gilchrist’s sentiment.

“We just got to get ready and prepared for next week,” Deweert said. “We really didn’t play a good game at the start with a lot of penalties and a lot of mental mistakes. We just got to fix that in practice. It is a great honor playing Eastside Catholic because that is a great team down their on the Plateau. We just can’t wait to play them.”

Bellevue stalwart defensive lineman Omar Dyles knows how formidable the Eastside Catholic football team is going to be in the title game.

“I definitely think we are hungry. They have a great team. They have Brandon (Wellington) and he is a truck in the backfield and also is a great guy on defense.

Harley (Kirsch) is an all-around playmaker and he is very smart,” Dyles said. “We’re up for the challenge.”

Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff said his team has to improve if they want to have an opportunity to bring home a state title after a one-year hiatus.

“We’ve got to play better. I don’t care who we play, Shaun Scott, Bellevue Reporter we’re not going to win if we play the way we did Bellevue Wolverines head football coach Butch Goncharoff, right, gives today,” Goncharoff said. “We need everybody to step his team a pep talk following their 56-28 win against the Bishop Blanchet up.”

The Bellevue Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative is seeking input through research and public comment to find where issues for cyclists and pedestrians exist in the city.

Despite a reputation as a vehicle-centered city, Bellevue did earn bronze for a bicycle friendly city from the League of American Bicyclists in 2015, and city engineers want to improve upon that with the predictive collision project.

The previous method used to check safety for cyclists is still in place, but it is not quite as effective as officials would like it to be.

“We started digging into the data but we are in reactive mode,” Loewenherz said.

“We rely on the data of the past year. We compile all serious injuries and collisions, but these are the ones reported. A lot go unreported. And it’s all reactive data. We were asking ‘how can we get out ahead of these?”’

The project is part of a larger city-wide and national project titled “Safer Streets for Safer People,” which Bellevue’s city government had signed onto previously.

Loewenherz found a similar project used

by McGill University in Toronto using GoPro cameras mounted on poles at suspected dangerous intersections. The research team at Microsoft was looking to develop a new program to help in city planning. The groups found each other and a partnership was quickly struck up.

Dr. Victor Bahl, head of Microsoft’s research team, said the project was given an early boost by Bellevue’s infrastructure.

CREMATION PRE-PLANNING We’re the company everyone is talking about!

Join us for a complimentary meal and short seminar—have all your questions answered without any pressure.

“There are lots of camera in the city of Bellevue,” he said. “Every once in a while someone would call up and say an intersection is very dangerous. Then they had to have someone watch that intersection. It was people watching these feeds and not very effective.”

Bellevue shares hundreds of hours of these traffic feeds with Microsoft, which hopes to use them to learn more about traffic in the city.

Bahl’s team is hoping to create a program or algorithm which can not only electronically acknowledge and separately identify a vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian, but also pinpoint peak traffic flows and collisions or near-collisions.

“We would hope to develop an automated system which can analyze the video and tell us who is using what paths and when,” he said. “We might look at whether a cyclist was using a pedestrian path, or what directions cars were going when they had to brake quickly.”

The project just began this summer, and Bahl remains cautiously optimistic until more data can be analyzed and a possible program unveiled.

“I think this project is extraordinarily intellectually challenging,” he said. “It stresses every component of our system. But it’s

very exciting and it’s a worthy cause which could save lives.”

Theoretically, by using data gleaned from the city’s cameras, Bellevue could pinpoint where having bike lanes could be beneficial or where drivers have blind corners.

To Loewenherz’s knowledge, this was the first time such a project on this scale has been undertaken anywhere in the country. Dr. Yinhai Wang, of the University of Washington, was throwing his transportation engineering experience and the weight of PacTrans (a Pacific Northwest traffic consortium) behind the project, Loewenherz said.

“We need to have some knowledge on what exactly constitutes a near miss,” he said. “Dr. Wang brings that to the table.”

David Grant, a public information officer for the city, said although Bellevue was working with leading researchers at the university and Microsoft, the initial capital cost was not a big factor.

“This is a fixed system with cameras which have been around for years,” he said.

Bellevue’s traffic flow cameras can be viewed at http://bellevuewa.gov/trafficmap/. Only two of them are currently being analyzed by Microsoft. That number should increase as the project matures.
