Bellingham Crossing has Attention of Safety Advocates

View Location Map

A pedestrian crossing in Bellingham, the scene of a fatal accident last month, has now come under scrutiny by groups who have identified this spot in the past as both dangerous and in need of serious help. BNSF and the City of Bellingham entered an agreement in 2001 to rehab this pedestrian crossing; so far none of that proposed work has been done. A PDF of the 2001 plan is available HERE.
