A reader in Downtown asked where tradespeople and service trucks will park as high-rise housing fills in. We did not find a current rule for loading at downtown high-rises. The city's curb management page, dated April 2023, lists ride-hail vehicles, delivery vans, employer shuttles and on-street dining among the uses competing for curb space, and says its pricing framework will cover loading and enforcement. Ask the city's Transportation Department for the current status before you plan a job. Know a neighbor asking the same thing? Forward this; they can subscribe at bellevuedispatch.com.
