Pitch your road project ideas to Kitsap County public works
April 12th, 2011 by Chris HenryHave you got a pet peeve about potholes? Concerns about sharp
curves? Anxiety over lack of signage?
The Kitsap County Public Works Department invites residents to
pitch road project ideas for inclusion in the county’s 6-year Transportation
Improvement Program.
As projects are completed, the department adds new projects
annually to its to-do list. Projects selected this year will be
added to the 2012-2017 TIP list.
The deadline for suggestions is April 30.
Projects are scored and ranked using objective criteria, according
to Jim Rogers, transportation planner. Criteria include safety,
capacity needs, structural condition, environmental retrofits and
non-motorized needs. Projects are selected based on the
availability and timing of funding, especially for state and
federally funded projects.
If you want to see how your neighborhood fared in last year’s
list-making process, check out the copy of the county’s roadwork
plan for 2011 below.
Submit your road project ideas to the county’s website here. For
information, call (360) 337-5777.
