Holly Street Bike Lane Pilot

Starting in May, the City of Bellingham will be piloting a new bike lane on Holly Street from Ellis to Bay Street to improve safety, mobility, and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians.

The pilot will include:

Changes to the traffic lights to make pedestrian crossings safer
Protected bike lanes between Ellis Streetand State Street
Parking protected bike lanes between State Street and Bay Street

The bike lane installation will take away one lane of traffic through the corridor but will not result in any changes to the number of parking spots downtown.
