Recommendations

WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING:

​​

• Many of our supporters would like the city to return to the traditional Bicycle Sunday schedule that was held on ten Sundays from 10am to 6pm during the summer , but many also support a compromised approach of both Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 6pm, twice per month from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

​​

• The city should repair and/or upgrade the existing paved path along the boulevard which was built specifically for bike use approximately 40 years ago, and also improve the lower walking trails by the lakeshore. Neither have been adequately maintained for decades.

​​

• The city make the necessary improvements to ensure the existing paved path and sidewalks are ADA accessible.

​

• Consider adding new pedestrian/ADA accessible sidewalks and/or designated bicycle lanes on the unused park property that runs along the residential west-side of the boulevard.   

 

• Add pedestrian activated crossings at Mount Baker Beach.

​

• There is an urgent need for public restrooms close to the parking lots near the beaches along the lake. These should also be ADA accessible. Thousands of people are now visiting these beaches every year, and there are no sanitary provisions.  Need we say more!
