Bellevue is cutting the limit on local streets from 25 to 20. Sign crews started August 24 with no warning period, beginning in Lake Hills, Northeast Bellevue, Crossroads, Wilburton, Bridle Trails and Northwest Bellevue; the rest of the city follows later this year. That is 64 percent of Bellevue's streets. Source
