Utopian Carrots For Whatcom County. No Sticks?

Who Is "Uniting Creatives"? What Are "Vibrant Futures"? How Big Should A Mouthful Be?
Saturday, an organization called “Uniting Creatives” hosted a conference on “Vibrant Futures” at Syre Hall. Someone had sent us a link to a 4th Request for Proposal Submittal to the Bellingham Port Authority, a late entry from Uniting Creatives. I went to the Uniting Creatives website, and found the conference promo the day it happened, October 5, 2013. Too bad—I had scheduled a client that day.

Bellingham City Council/BIAWC Members Deny Push To Restrict Construction Hours In Bellingham
BIAWC was successful Monday night in helping defeat a proposal to cut back residential construction hours in Bellingham by about 17 percent.

City Council considered a proposal to cut construction noise hours in residential areas (BMC 10.24.120 C4).  Construction is now allowed 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily – as it is in the surrounding commute area of unincorporated Whatcom County, Ferndale and Lynden. The proposal was to end residential construction at 8 p.m. on weekdays, and to limit it to 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekends and federal holidays.
