Birch Bay stop signs installed near Horizon development

Whatcom County Public Works Department employees installed two stop signs at the intersection of Birch Bay Drive and Birch Point Road on June 6 despite Birch Bay residents having voiced strong opposition to the signs earlier this year. The signs were put up for southbound traffic exiting the new Horizon development on Birch Point Road and westbound traffic on Birch Bay Drive, at the top of the curve near the intersection. Eastbound traffic on Birch Bay Drive will have the right-of-way.
