I wanted to expand on my initial letter regarding the golf cart zone situation. Ten months have gone by and I have yet to see any carts using Jackson Road near Bay Road and Lighthouse Drive nor any carts going up or down Bay Road between Jackson Road and Blaine Road.
Why don’t the people monitoring this issue pay attention to comments? I continue to observe most vehicles (80 percent or more) drive at least 10 mph or more on the above named streets, so you are setting things up for a serious accident sooner or later.
Another issue is there is a huge wooden sign on Birch Bay-Lynden Road that I have observed for over 15 years now as constituting a huge eyesore and a negative reaction from people about Birch Bay.
I understand it is located on private property, but someone, like our chamber of commerce, should do something to either have this sign removed or upgraded significantly to have a positive effect on people.

In the upcoming primary election, I will be voting for Natalie McClendon for our county council representative here in coastal district 5. For the past 15 years I have worked with her on various projects and came to respect her views on the environment and her understanding of Whatcom County issues.
As a member of the Whatcom Planning Commission Natalie has gained a solid understanding of growth management and environmental issues. The county is expected to gain another 25,000 in population in the next 10 years. Water for farmers, fish and the rest of us is of major importance and Natalie is one who understands the issues. From experience, I know she works well with others to plan ahead and find solutions.
Candidate signs are starting to pop up around the county. If you need to register to vote or change your address, now is the time to get it done. The ballots will be mailed a month from now.
