Urban Village?
I've been to the June 29th meeting and July 20th meeting. We have had input and guidence from the City and GGLO, but I'm really am not sure what an Urban Village is yet. Is the plan to have Downtown Bellingham on one side of a street and an Urban Village on the other side? I can see how the Barkley area and Fairhaven area could be a village, but not sure how Old Town is going to be anything but a high priced condo project with waterfront views next to Downtown.

I was invited to a focus group of developers talking about making Downtown and Urban Village. I questioned the reality of "professionals" living and working in downtown Bellingham.
For that to be truly sucessful. (like Manhattan) There needs to be jobs and services such as grocery stores.
Take a look at "The Old Town Plan" power point... above. No 'FAIR MARKET' (grocery store is listed).
