Sall LLC receives right-of-way vacation

Following a swift public hearing on June 12, Blaine City Council approved the vacation of the southern 20 feet of the Clyde Street right of way, between Madison and Kingsley avenues.

Representatives from Sall LLC petitioned the city for the street vacation to allow an increase in the number of units in a development project.

Hearing set before city adopts six-year transportation program

Before Blaine City Council adopts its six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), members of the public are invited to weigh in at a 6 p.m. hearing on June 26.

Projects included on the TIP are eligible for grant assistance and funding derived from the Transportation Benefit District, which will begin leveraging .2 percent of the city’s sales tax in early 2018. City council last made adjustments to the TIP on January 23.

Once the final list is adopted, it will be sent to the Whatcom Council of Governments by August 1 for incorporation on the statewide Transportation Improvement Program in October.
