Waterfront Futures for Bellingham - nothing here. This is one of those processes that is supposedly open to public comment. However, speaking to a meeting seems a challenge. Getting on the record appears to be even more of a challenge. This process has been in operation for months but little real public process. Meeting this Friday at 12 noon to 2 pm (not starting at 2 pm as Herald reported) at the Port meeting room. No chance for suggesting ideas.
However, the above - posted May 12 - is factually correct but slightly unfair. Our best method for giving input is to send them a one- or two-page paper explaining our ideas on use for the waterfront. I am told the web site will be more helpful in a week. They are trying.
Meeting:
Public Facilities District (PFD) public hearing.
Monday, May 19, 7 pm, Bellingham city hall - NEXT Monday
Only chance to comment on huge civic project. See report below on May 12.
This deserves the attention of all of us. A vague plan is being jammed through without public participation that will cost us $15 million in local tax dollars.
