WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A pair of public hearings are on the docket for the next Whatcom County Council meeting.

Neighbors living in Sudden Valley will have the chance to voice their opinions on new parking restrictions on Lake Louise Road.

An ordinance introduced by the council last month would prohibit shoulder parking on the northbound side for 250 ft starting at Gate 13.

Public works says that area residents expressed concerns over limited visibility for drivers turning from Gate 13 onto Lake Louise Road.

The second public hearing concerns potential changes to requirements for thermal power plants.

Puget Sound Energy made the request for language adjustment over the summer to allow for increased power generation.

Both public hearings will begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10 in the county council chambers.
