The Greenways 5 Levy Will
- Develop public trails and parks to create an equitable Greenways system accessible to everyone
- Complete linkages and build new connections to create a pedestrian and bicycle trail network throughout and between our neighborhoods
- Secure funding to maintain and restore our parks, trails, and open spaces
- Provide funds to increase our community’s climate resiliency
- Ensure appropriate development and ecological restoration of acquired parks, open spaces, and wildlife corridors
- Increase and maintain Bellingham’s urban tree canopy
- Continue Bellingham’s 33-year Greenways legacy
Our continued investment in Greenways will be at a rate of $0.41 per $1,000 assessed valuation, down from the initial (2017) Greenways IV rate of $0.50. Greenways 5 will raise approximately $86 million over a period of ten years.
For more information, see the 2022-2026 Greenways Strategic Plan (PDF).
