The Washington Department of Transportation announced yesterday that they are the "first state DOT in the nation to officially endorse the new Urban Street Design Guidelines" recently published by the National Association of City Transportation Officials.
This matters to Bellingham because several major roads in town are actually state highways, including the Guide Meridian north of I-5, and Sunset east of I-5.
It means there's a chance for these important transportation corridors to be changed to facilitate mobility for everybody, not just trucks and cars.
So, there's hope!
