City Council members,I urge you to vote to renew the emergency ordinance passed on January 13, 2025 that eliminated parking mandates citywide. This reform allows development to focus on people instead of cars, making housing more affordable, our streets safer, and our neighborhoods more vibrant. By keeping this policy in place, we maintain flexibility for builders to meet real demand rather than outdated 1950s mandates.Since Bellingham took action in January, cities across Washington have followed our lead - including Bremerton, Shoreline, and Bothell. The state also followed by passing the bipartisan Parking Reform and Modernization Act (SB 5184), limiting excessive parking requirements and supporting local governments - like ours - that prioritize housing and climate.Renewing the emergency ordinance ensures Bellingham stays consistent with state law, avoids backsliding into costly old rules, and continues to lead on affordability, equity, and sustainability. Please support renewal of the emergency ordinance and make this commonsense policy permanent.[Name]
