Upcoming Forum on Architects’ Recommendations
This Tuesday there’ll be a forum to discuss the recommendations of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for improving Port Angeles. It will be at 6 p.m. in the Port Angeles City Council chambers, 321 East Fifth Street.
Port Angeles Forward will be reviewing the comments from this forum when they prepare their formal recommendation to the City Council.
The report of the AIA, which the city received last August, can be viewed here.

Um, okay. Whatever, as long as they bring back the whorehouse.
I certainly hope the city will build the suggested roundabout at the First, Front and Golf Course Road intersections.
We need another boondoggle project that will take a year or more to construct and create numerous traffic tie ups at a critical junction.
Oh God... crossing the street there is already hard enough... It would be impossible with a roundabout.
But, fortunately, this is Port Angeles and we hate pedestrians here, so... roundabout away!
Sure seems like the roundabouts work quite well in Sunny Sequim.
It's a fact that these create less traffic backups and accidents.
The middle of the roundabout can be the new home of the farmers market!
Part of the AIA suggestions are street signs. Well, we're expecting Canadian and international tourists to come here (I don't know why, when Victoria is much more tourist-friendly)... But I don't think any of our speed and distance signs have metric translations. Seems like if we want tourists from other countries here, we might want to translate things for tourists. Something they might want to think about.
why would we get tourists from other countries? What do we have that isn't done better elsewhere?
....The city isn't going to pay for new street signs, nor for two way streets (the costs of new lights/signs, etc). The city doesn't have money to fix what we have.....
These are all pipe dreams
Tourists? They are so overrated, if tourists wanted to visit my country (the one I don't have) they would have to pay to enter it.
And spend a stated minimum amount of money each day while here.
Hum, I've never given any thought to walking through a roundabout, I guess you walk around it just as cars drive around it. And they would have to yield to you.
Hey, how about a great big roundabout around the whole city? That way the tourists wouldn't even have to bother going through town to go where they are headed.
Lot's of action in town at the crab festival yesterday, I made the mistake of driving through town then on my way to the spit.
I wonder how many of them were actually tourists though, it's my guess that it's mostly just locals.
I don't know, I just wonder about such things.
I'd suggest the middle of the roundabout be the new home of Mr. Sculptor's rusty junk which currently "resides" on Laurel Street.
I like the name of the new store downtown, FOUR EASY PIECES. Ha ha ha.
Been reading the blogs... Quite entertaining. I tend to lean towards BBC.
I've got a great idea!
Lift the Kalakala to the top of the Elks Lodge building and anchor her at a 45 degree angle. Hang red lights above each window on the outside. Decorate the interior with red velvet & hot tubs. Throw in an exterior glass elevator on the corner of Front & Lincoln. Rent a bus, make a roadtrip to Seattle to recruit some "woman of the night".
Wa La Port Angeles.
Just as the auto industry was ripe for change in 1903 when Henry Ford set up Ford Motor Company in Detroit, carmakers again seem on the cusp of revolution.[url=http://atrilander.com/uto-sales/tom-hodges-auto-sales/]tom hodges auto sales[/url]
Hybrid and pure electric vehicles threaten to overthrow the dynasty of the old internal-combustion engine even as proposed greenhouse-gas legislation would undermine its supremacy. [url=http://atrilander.com/automotive/all-things-automotive/]all things automotive[/url]
China, Japan, and South Korea are hard at work creating batteries for the green cars of the future. And so is Michigan.
Having spent more than $700 million in tax incentives since 2006 to attract, retain, and grow battery companies, the state is aiming to become the “advanced battery capital of the world.” There’s wide agreement here on the consequences.
“We’re faced with either finding new markets for those companies or losing them,” says Greg Main of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. “We can’t be a one-horse town any longer [url=http://atrilander.com/uto-sales/caribean-auto-sales/]caribean auto sales[/url]
,” said Michael Robinet of auto forecaster CSM Worldwide in Northville, Mich.
But Detroit’s transition to greener automaking is by no means assured. US battery firms are late to the race. Even if their technology wins, there’s no guarantee that Detroit would beat out California or other states vying for supremacy.
