Proposal Submitted!
Our proposal to the city has been submitted! After some great suggestions from Wendy, Michael, and Jeff, we turned our proposal into the Department of Public Works. They then passed it to the Arts Commission. It will be to the Arts Commission that we will give two presentations; the first presentation will be on September 3rd. After the second presentation in October, they will make a recommendation to the mayor.
As we wait for these presentations, we can take a breath and celebrate what we've accomplished thus far: moving a neighborhood desire into action, organizing all the pieces to create a solid proposal, and most importantly gathering together as neighbors and building relationships around a positive project. Here's to an already successful project!

Update From the City
Our intersection project is moving forward! Here's an update: We are now
in the city's scheduling. After meeting with city planning, we got the
thumbs up from public works. So now we need to enter the process with
the Bellingham Arts Commission (BAC). We will present initially with BAC
on September 3rd to conceptually discuss the project. Then on October
1st we'll make a final presentation. After they approve it goes to the
mayor's desk, and we'll get approval within the week. This means two
things: 1) our proposed painting day (Sept. 28th) will not happen, which
is a bummer. We'll hopefully paint under a dry clear sky in mid October
(pray not for rain), 2) that the city believes this is a viable,
repeatable project, which is good news for Bellingham and building
neighborhood connections. So, great things are happening. Thanks for
your support and work!

We Have a Design!
The next step is to gather signatures from neighbors,
approving of our proposal and the design. Then we will submit our proposal to
the city. To help with this, join us on Thursday,
August 8th, from 6pm – 8pm at the Samish School (2113 Harris
Ave.) for a potluck BBQ. Will show
off the design, eat and visit together, and provide opportunities to look at
and sign the proposal. So grab a friend and some food, and join us!
Here’s to our great neighborhood and doing cool things
together!
