How can I make comments on the 1 year and 6 year road programs?
Both the Annual Road Program and the 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program are approved by the County Council and have a mandatory public hearing process associated with them. By watching for the announcement in the Bellingham Herald on the Council's agenda, or calling the Public Works Office, you can be informed of when the hearings will be held. Generally, the 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program is adopted in July, and the Annual Road Program is adopted in October.
