Project Overview: ES553
This project included pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements throughout Bellingham, including a new sidewalk on the east side of 40th Street from Elwood to Fielding and improvements at the Grant/Kentucky intersection.
Funded by Street and Transportation Benefit District.
40th Street Project Fencing
The construction of the new 40th Street sidewalk along the edge of a vacant City parcel impacted adjacent wetlands. As a result, City action is required to maintain water quality, habitat and the hydrologic watershed functions by protecting and improving the parcel’s wetlands. Crews planted native plants to help improve wetlands on the parcel and installed additional fencing to prevent use as an unsanctioned park. Learn more in the 40th Street fencing FAQ.
