Greetings
from ENA
As summer approaches, we can all enjoy nice
days in our favorite green space whether it is a trail, a natural wooded
area, the park or all of the above. Bellingham has much to offer and a
good part of the city’s character can be attributed to past Greensways
funding. However, the 2006 Greenways Levy has been a controversial issue
discussed at city meetings, in the paper and is on many of our minds as we
prepare to vote this May. ENA has invited a representative from the
Greenways Committee to the meeting on May 4th who will present
information about the levy. We encourage everyone to come listen, ask
questions, and gather information to make an informed decision. Also
check the website for additional articles, letters, and links to
information about Greenways III.
Jim
Boyle and Alice Clark from the Whatcom Film Association are on the May 4th
agenda as well. They will start the meeting by offering information about
the association and presenting plans for the new film center in downtown
Bellingham. (As stated on their website)
Looking to the future, the organization intends to expand its educational
and outreach programs and to relocate to a larger venue with room for two
screens, offering the potential to increase the variety and artistic merit
of independent cinema in downtown Bellingham. Website:
www.whatcomfilm.org.
As we are sending an
abbreviated newsletter, please take the time to review the information that
we are making available to you on the
Edgemoor
Neighborhood website. You probably have experienced an increase in fast
moving traffic in your area as we have. We encourage you to think about
purchasing a “Keep Kids Alive...Drive 25” sign from Veronica, our safety
chairman. Every spring we seem to have more and more cars racing through
our neighborhood so this is the time to band together and attempt to slow
down the traffic.
We look forward to seeing
you on May 4th at the General Membership Meeting and hope in the meantime
that you take a little time to become informed about the issues facing our
Edgemoor Neighborhood. Plan to eat light, save room for dessert, and
enjoy a nice offering of refreshments provided by the Hospitality
Committee. See you on Thursday.

Committee

Meeting.

2006 DRAFT Shoreline Master Plan

The Planning Commission is
