The in basket: Margaret Gibbard asks, “How long have the yellow crossing lights been at Ridgetop and Levin Road in Silverdale for the Clear Creek Trail walkers? I know they were turned off during the Bucklin bridge project when there was a light at that intersection. Was the pedestrian activated yellow flasher there before the bridge project?
The out basket: Yes, it was. Daren Miller, Kitsap County’s signal supervisor says, “The rapid flash beacons were installed in 2011. In 2015 they were pulled because a temporary traffic signal went in for the Bucklin Hill bridge project.
“On Friday, July 22, Bucklin Hill was opened back up and on Monday, July 25, the temporary traffic signal at Levin and Ridgetop was removed by the contractor and the rapid flash beacons were reinstalled at the location by the county,” he said.
