Improve The Vue
We are a group of Bellevue residents who volunteer to make our vision of Bellevue become a reality.
Improve the Vue
Improve the Vue focuses on community involvement in neighborhood upkeep and improvement. Committee volunteers work on a periodic basis to improve the quality of Bellevue streets, parks, businesses, and homes.
We have put together annual “Improve the Vue” events in which we have accomplished big projects as well as organized smaller trash pickup and landscaping workdays to improve the quality of Bellevue streets, parks, businesses, and homes. By giving local residents more opportunities to serve, we hope to create a contagious attitude of pride in our neighborhood.
Redd Up Bellevue
Redd Up Bellevue events are community clean-up days that bring neighbors together to help keep Bellevue a welcoming, vibrant place to live, work, and visit. Volunteers work together to pick up litter and refresh public spaces throughout the neighborhood, making a visible impact while building community pride along the way. These events are also a great opportunity to meet other neighbors who care about Bellevue and want to make a positive difference in the community. Supplies, water, coffee, and snacks are generously provided through donations from local businesses, making it easy for anyone to jump in and help. Be sure to watch our event calendar for upcoming Redd Up Bellevue events and opportunities to get involved!
Bump Up the Bump-Outs
Bump Up the Bump-Outs was an Improve the Vue beautification initiative focused on enhancing the landscaping along Lincoln Avenue in Bellevue. Guided by professional horticulturist Joe Noll of Old Allegheny Landscaping, the project aimed to create safer, more attractive, and more sustainable streetscape plantings throughout the business district. Existing overgrown vegetation was carefully evaluated and updated to improve pedestrian visibility and overall curb appeal. Taller plants and ornamental grasses were trimmed back or transplanted to setback areas, while dead or failing plants were removed and replaced with hardy, low-maintenance shrubs, perennials, and evergreen plantings better suited for long-term care.
Throughout multiple volunteer workdays, participants removed weeds, invasive grasses, and dead vegetation; edged and refreshed planting beds; shaped trees; and removed dead branches. Trees that were struggling or no longer viable were identified for future replacement. New evergreen plantings were added in several areas to provide year-round greenery and a cleaner, more welcoming appearance along the corridor. The project helped revitalize Lincoln Avenue while demonstrating the impact of collaborative, community-driven stewardship and sustainable streetscape improvements.
