The in basket: Dan Godeke asks, “What is going on with the new
road that links Seventh Avenue to Forest Rock (in Poulsbo)?
“The road has been paved, all the marking have been painted on the
road and all the signage is in place. The curbs and sidewalks are
even done but the road is still closed.

“The road has been paved, all the marking have been painted

sidewalks are even done but the road is still closed.
“It baffles me that we pay for a road to be built and then
can’t use it,” says Dan.
The out basket: The first 500 feet or so of the new street closest
to Poulsbo Village was build and paid for by a private developer,
which must dedicate the right of way to the city before Poulsbo can
allow traffic to use it. Mike Lund of the city engineering staff
doesn’t know when the final details of the transfer will be
accomplished, but hopes it will be soon.
The city and state paid for the portion of the road beyond what the
developer built.
