Project Overview – ES571
This project will construct curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the west side of Bellis Fair Parkway, south of Eliza Avenue, to a new mid-block crosswalk. The improvements will serve as frontage improvements for planned Opportunity Council development of the existing “motorcycle lot” parking lot. New trail connections will also be constructed within existing City right-of-way both west and south of the development.
Project Status – 2024
Project design is being done in coordination with the Opportunity Council’s new affordable housing and childcare center development and the implementation timeline will be determined by schedule of the development project.
Project Background
Through ongoing coordination, the Opportunity Council and City of Bellingham determined that there was the opportunity for the City to construct on and off-street multimodal infrastructure that would support connectivity for people walking and biking in the Meridian and Cordata neighborhoods, as well as the new Opportunity Council development.
Funding
Project is funded by the Transportation Fund and Greenway Levy Fund.
