BELLINGHAM CITY COUNCIL

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

 

Notice is hereby given that the Bellingham City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 18, 2020 at 7:00 PM, or as soon thereafter as possible during their Regular City Council meeting, which will take place remotely (please note the remote meeting location, which is contrary to the public hearing notice published in the May 8 Bellingham Herald inadvertently stating this meeting would take place in Council Chambers), to take public comment on the following:

 

The 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is adopted annually to plan and program public funding toward capital improvements to Bellingham's multimodal transportation network. State law (RCW 35.77.010) requires cities to adopt the TIP before July 1 each year. The DRAFT 2021-2026 TIP is based on Public Works staff and Bellingham Transportation Commission recommendations. Public Works posted the DRAFT 2021-2026 TIP on the City web site on May 4, 2020 and will present it to the Bellingham Transportation Commission at a public meeting on May 12, 2020. Public Works staff will present details and funding for all projects listed in the DRAFT 2021-2026 TIP, followed by a public hearing. A City Council work session to consider adoption of the DRAFT 2021-2026 TIP will be held on June 8, 2020.     

 

Detailed information can be found at: meetings.cob.org five days prior to the public hearing.
