Edgemoor Neighborhood Plan

The Edgemoor Neighborhood Plan was first developed in 1980 by the city of Bellingham. Copies of the booklet with the complete text and map of the Edgemoor Neighborhood Plan are available at the Planning Department in City Hall for $1.

Our goal for 2008 was to update the Edgemoor Neighborhood Plan, originally written in 1981. A Neighborhood Plan Update Committee met over the course of many months and put together an update to the old Edgemoor Neighborhood Plan. The City of Bellingham has recently announced that it will not schedule any neighborhood plan updates in the near future, however, ENA has chosen to continue with the update process.

Below is a link to the draft of the Neighborhood Plan Update. Please read it critically with your concerns involving growth, quality of life, and the needs of the neighborhood in mind. As well as noting whether you think it covers the subjects which need to be addressed, please note where you think the tone, readability and format need to be improved. We have one suggestion already to make each Chapter start on a new page. If you think of something, even if it seems to be a casual concern, note it.  Others are likely to have noticed it also, so do not hesitate to speak up.  If you have a neighbor with an axe to grind or simply skill or knowledge involving planning, land use, editing or composition, please pass it along to them, even if they live in another neighborhood.  Send your comments to me to compile to  .  I will make all of them available to a review group.  If they are in hard copy, send them to:
