The Bellingham Planning and Development Commission recommended the new Puget Neighborhood Plan to the Bellingham City Council in a meeting May 13.
Next, the Bellingham City Council will consider the plan, taking into account the fact that the Planning Commission recommended it for adoption.
The re-write of the 15-year-old neighborhood plan has been in the works for three years, said Mary Chaney, president of the Puget Neighborhood Association.
The amendments to the old plan include revisions to the sections on open space, transportation and public utilities and services.
One of the main proposals is for small neighborhood parks with playgrounds and picnic areas.
The transportation updates focus on identifying safety problem areas in the neighborhood, especially Lakeway Drive. The four goals of options, accessibility, safety and connectivity sum up the transportation policies, said Chaney in her speech to the Planning Commission.
The City Council meeting will be held within the next couple of months, said Chaney.
