BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Residents in Bellingham are being asked to voice their concerns over traffic safety in their neighborhoods.

The City of Bellingham announced the launch of its new Community Streets Program last week. It plans to focus on a different cluster of neighborhoods each year to identify and fix traffic issues reported by residents.

2025 will center on residential streets within Cordata, Meridian, King Mountain, Irongate, Barkley and Silver Beach neighborhoods.

Anyone who lives, works or frequents those areas is encouraged to share their concerns over safety issues like speeding, poor visibility, parking issues, congestion and more.

People can offer feedback through an online survey, by phone or in person through May 31.

You can find a link to take the survey here or you can submit feedback by calling (360) 778-7700.
