A project for improvements in Bellevue's Lincoln Avenue business district has been accepted as part of the Pepsi Refresh program, and needs votes during the month of August.

Pepsi is offering grants for community projects across the country, with the funded efforts decided by on-line votes. Enjoy Bellevue successfully submitted a request for funding for a sound system along Lincoln Avenue that can be used to play music in the shopping district, for special events, and also for public announcements.

Those who register can vote daily throughout August at www.refresheverything.com/enjoybellevue.
