PROJECT UPDATES:
Langley Expanding Parking through Joint Use Project - The Municipal Parking Joint Use Project will provide 50 public parking spaces on the corner of 6th Street and Cascade Avenue at the existing Christian Missionary Alliance Church (CMA) parking area.
The City of Langley will improve the church parking area through paving, landscaping, lighting and upgrading the storm water system to current environmental and Low Impact Development standards. In exchange for the improvements there will be designated public parking spaces for use during the work week.
Grants for this project were awarded in 2005 and 2006, but due to the private/public partnership the state and federal funding approval was just secured in 2009. When completed, the parking lot will connect to the Island Transit bus route and the Cascade Avenue walkway to downtown and the Langley marina. The lot will provide parking for commuters, visitors and employees of local businesses to relieve parking congestion in downtown.
At the October 5th city council meeting the council approved a contract with the Oak Harbor firm, Cane Engineering, to develop a preliminary set of plans and a construction cost estimate for the project.
Third Street Sewer Extension - Individual homeowners may hook up to the sewer now. Homeowners will be required to hook up if one of the three actions listed below occurs:
- Sale of the property
- Remodel of the home
- Septic System failure

REPORTS AND PLANS:
2009 Consumer Confidence Report - The City of Langley is pleased to present the 2009 Annual Water Quality Report. The report informs you about the quality of the water the City of Langley provided last year. Included are details on where you water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. This report covers state required information and is a valuable service to our water customers who depend on the City's water system.
2009 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (Prepared by: URS Corporation and Katy Isaksen & Associates) - After a year-long process to update the comprehensive stormwater plan, and three months of city council review and public input, the 2009 Comprehensive Stormwater Plan was adopted in May 2009. The plan identified many deficiencies in our stormwater system and recommended a plan to make improvements. A key issue was the lack of funding to maintain the current stormwater system.
In June 2009, the city council addressed the plan recommendation to fund stormwater system maintenance and capital improvements. The city council approved a 5-year stormwater rate schedule that initially covers annual operating expenses, and then provides annual increases to accrue funds for capital improvements.
