Last call for Ballard Chamber September luncheon

The Ballard Chamber September luncheon is set for next Wednesday, September 10 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Rays – Northwest Room (6049 Seaview Ave).

At the luncheon attendees will have the opportunity to put forward their opinions during a discussion about the issue of parking in our neighborhood.

Throughout the year, the Chamber — in conjunction with the Ballard Partnership for Smart Growth, and local businesses, residents and others — has engaged in the Seattle Department of Transportation’s community parking program planning process. The program is focused on developing improvements in the near-term to on-street parking management in the central commercial area of Ballard.

SDOT is currently evaluating several options to increase the availability of on-street parking, including reviewing the locations and need for loading zones, how on-street and off-street parking can complement each other in the neighborhood, angled parking, parking controls (this includes time limits and paid parking), parking options on Sundays, and on-street bike parking.

Cost for the event is $25 for members, $30 for non-members and $30 at the door without RSVP. Please RSVP to sue@ballardchamber.com by tomorrow afternoon.
