What is BURA?
The Bellevue Urban Renewal Agency (often called BURA) implements programs of redevelopment and needed public improvements within the city’s Revenue Allocation Area. Project decisions are in conjunction to the Bellevue Urban Renewal Plan, adopted by City Council in 2006.
BURA financing is separate from the city’s budget and comes from a combination of annual revenue funds, bond proceeds and other sources.
The complete BURA Plan is available here.

- Lighted pedestrian walkways at Broadford Road and Elm St.
