Parking Considerations: If parking requirements are reduced or removed, which of the below is the most important consideration to include alongside any changes:

Provide more paid public parking at popular destinations

Require alternative parking to be provided (such as shared parking agreements between multiple building owners)

Require more accessible parking spaces (link disabled stalls to the size and type of building rather than to the total number of stalls provided)

Dedicate more street parking spaces to short-term pick-up/drop-off (carpooling or ridesharing)

Increase funding for transit and pedestrian infrastructure (requires new funding source)

Increase funding for bicycle infrastructure (requires new funding source)

Encourage the development/locating of a bicycle or scooter share in Bellingham

Provide a “fee-in-lieu” option for those who reduce the parking they provide

Establish more RPZs in residential areas near popular destinations (requires funding for enforcement resources)
