Project Background
The Transportation Element of the Bellingham Comprehensive Plan identifies the North James Street extension to Van Wyck Road as a secondary arterial. James Street is the only north- south transportation corridor serving the King Mountain Neighborhood, which is zoned for over 3,000 new housing units. In addition to supporting the development planned for the King Mountain Neighborhood, this northern extension of James Street will provide another north-south corridor parallel to Meridian St (SR 539), which will provide multimodal access and connectivity in the King Mountain Neighborhood. At present a private developer is constructing road improvements with development of the subdivision.
Funding
