The analysis is complete and will be presented at Open House #2 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
March 5, 2014 in the Roosevelt Elementary School cafeteria. This will be an opportunity for the public and business owners to see the major alternatives that we examined in depth, ask questions, and learn about the public process schedule moving forward.
Following Open House #2, we will publish a Draft Report of Study Findings, present it to the Bellingham Transportation Commission at a public meeting on March 11, 2014, and then to the Bellingham City Council at a public hearing in April 2014 in advance of our annual public process for the City's 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This will allow Council to adopt the 2014-2019 TIP by June 30 with a defined construction project for Alabama Street. After TIP adoption, Public Works will complete preliminary engineering and design by November 2014, obligate federal construction funds by the end of 2014, and issue bids for construction in early 2015.
