Bellingham’s Parking Reform Pilot Pays OffBellingham’s industrial Old Town district is finally beginning its transformation into the walkable neighborhood city planners have long envisioned—thanks, in part, to a decision last year to try giving builders full flexibility over parking counts in that area. The experiment has paid off. The first building proposed since the regulatory change will have more than twice the number of homes as would have been allowed last year. “The shift to no parking minimums was a clear win in this case,” wrote Ali Taysi, a land use consultant for the project. |
