Help Shape North Bends Shoreline Access and Trail Plan at a Public Workshop

On February 26, North Bend residents can participate in a public workshop at City Hall to discuss the Shoreline Public Access and Trail Plan, which aims to improve recreational access while preserving the shoreline. The plan is designed to create a cohesive network of trails and access points, enhancing both resident and visitor experiences. Funded by a grant from the Department of Ecology, the initiative emphasizes climate resilience and adherence to local shoreline planning priorities. The workshop will run from 6 to 7 p. m.

, followed by a second session focused on developing a new public plaza on Ballarat Avenue. Community involvement is crucial for ensuring the plan meets local needs and expectations. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas with city staff and consultants from Facet. For additional inquiries, Senior Planner Jamie Burrell is available for contact. This project represents an important step in fostering sustainable recreational spaces in North Bend.
