The in basket: Christina Krueger writes, “Parts of Horstman Road have been dug up because of a new development. It is very rough to drive through. How long will it be like this?”
The out basket: This is the second complaint of about an unmatched excavation on this South Kitsap Road, which runs from Olney Avenue to Baby Doll Road. At first I thought it was the same site, which is inside the city of Port Orchard. But that one was patched last winter.
This one is farther from Olney and more in the center of the road. And it’s in the county.
Doug Bear, spokesman for Kitsap County Public Works, says, “West Sound Utility District is installing sewer connections for the Prosperity plat off Horstman Road and operating under a current right-of-way permit. When the project is complete the road will be restored to its original condition. Final inspection is currently scheduled for mid-June.”
Any new word on this repair? It is now the end of August and the terrible patch is still in place.
