CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 3~ 1973 (CONTINUED)
Mr. Monroe stated he has not personally studied an improvement to National Avenue so that he would
be~in no position to make an estimate of the cost of an improvement. Mr, Honroe stated that
National Avenue is on a bad grade and is needed as an additional arterialto serve the community.
Dick Feek (Business on National & Arsenal) co~nented that if National Avenue was widened, it could
accomodate the anticipated traffic; that the City should not build a highway at such an expense
which is parallel to an existing highway (National Avenue) that could accomodate the traffic.
Kathy Richardson, 3037 R&cky Pt. Rd., suggested consideration of First Avenue and Burwell Street
for a major arterial. Commented on problem turning onto llth Street from Kitsap Way as well as
dangerous conditions now on Kitsap Way during poor weather. Stated she could not understand the
purpose of widening Burwell and First Street if they cannot be connected.
Mr. Monroe explained that the purpose of widening Burwell Street was to provide an excellent access
to the downtown area. Also commented that his firm recommended improvement on Kitsap Way turning
onto llth Street.
Cvum~lssioner Schoneman stated that he realizes the problem at the intersection at Kitsap Way
turning onto llth Street and that this problem will be eliminated through the TOPICS Program.
~iley Dickerson, 3212 Rocky Pt. Rd., stated that in previous years there have been rumors of a
bridge being proposed off Rocky Pt.; questioned wheather this matter had any influence on the
recommendation of Redford Engineers to us~ Kitsap Way/Marine Drive intersection as the major
arterial.
Commissioner Schoneman assured Mr. Dickerson that there is no bridge being proposed on Rocky Pt.
Rd., and reminded the Rocky Pt. residents that they are located in the County and are under
Codnty Jurisdiction.
Mr. Monroe stated that the rumors of a proposed bridge on Rocky Pt. had not influenced the
reco,u,,endation of his firm in the very least.
Commissioner Schoneman stated that he was pleased with the attendance of Bremerton citizens; that
at a similar hearing July 7, 1972, there were no interested citizens present.
Dick Brinkerhoff thanked the Mayor and Conunissioners for their consideration; also, questioned
the need for parallel route to the existing National Avenue. Mr. Brinkerhoff also questioned
.~ whether the recommended route would best serve as an access to the downtown area.
i Mr. Monroe stated that the recommended route is less disruptive to the Community than the alternate
Bill Fraser, Attorney, discussed expenditures of the recommended route, the comprehensive plan,
alternate arterials and access to town, traffic capacity. Stated that the expenditure could
hardly be Justified for the service that will be provi~ed.
Commissioner Shhoneman explained the background of planning for the freeway and K-Warner Interchange
Also reviewed the basis for the recommendation of Redford Engineers.
Ella Dubree, 4126 "K" Street, stated she is pleased with present access to downtown and does not
wish to be channeled to Kitsap Way. Also commented that Preble is a bad choice for a main
arterial because of the Navy Yard traffic.
Mrm Gall Calkin, 3211 Rocky Pt. Rd., spoke of editorial in the newspaper concerning a bridge at
Rodky Pt. to Silver Springs; that this bridge must have been contemplated.
Commissioner Schoneman stated that about seven years ago he had talked with Adele Ferguson of the
Bremerton Sun about putting in a lock and closing in Silverdale Bay which would make an excellent
recreational area in the future. Stated there is no present need for another bridge and another
bridge could not even be considered for probably thirty years or more.
Patrick Long, representing labor in the area, stated the recommended route would cause problems for
people driving to and from work, both Navy Yard and Downtown employees and employers.
James Robinson, 6904 Kitsap Way, asked about grades and exact location of Burwell/Callow connection.
Mr. Monroe stated that in order to have a 4.69 percent grade there would have to be a 30 foot cut
at First Street & Burwell and this grade is presently considerably steeper than 4.69 percent;
also, stated that this proposed road should never have been on the Comprehensive Plan without
engineering studies to see if it was feasible.
Gene Nelson, 323 Dora Avenue, spoke against the recommended route stating it would be dangerous
because of the nearby school and Olympic Center. Stated he favored the improvement of National
Avenue; however, of the two routes presented, he would prefer the Burwell/Callow downhill route.
:Co~lssioner Clark stated that the chance of receiving UAB Funding during the next biennium is so
Islight that it would be best to delay the decision until further study is made; however, if the
:funds were made available by UAB during the next biennium, the City would probably not be pre-
cluded from applying and obtaining funds. Stated the delay would give additional time to study
traffic patterns generated from the freeway.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINU~ES - JANUARY 3~ 1973 (CONTINUED)
Conm~issioner Schoneman stated the reco~mnended route of Redford Engineers would provide a level
entry into the City. STated the proposed route would adequately serve the Callow Avenue Business
District as well as the Downtown Business District. Stated the recommended con~ection should be
promoted as soon as possible.
Mayor Jet,tad concurred with Con~nissioner Clark that a decision should be delayed so that a
complete study can be made on the flow of existing freeway traffic; that the decision should not
be rushed. Commented that traffic is presently being adequately handled by existing roadways,
and this is not an emergency condition. Stated that perhaps another engineering study should be
made.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Clark that no decision be made and no resolution be
adopted for UAB Funds for the extension of Kitsap Way and the proposed and recommended route.
Commissioner Schoneman noted that on July 7, 1972, the Council adopted Resolution No. 1507 which
adopted the recommendation to delete:the K-Werner Connection to the vicinity of Burwell and
substitute realignment to Kitsap Way in the vicinity of Marion A~enue. S~ated this Resolution
is effective until repealed. Stated he has supported the reco~ended route as the only practical
and feasible route and would have to vote against the motion for this reason.
Commissioner Clark stated that when the Resolution (No. 1507) was passed by the Council, it was
recognized that the Six-Year Comprehensive Plan is subject to change from year to year. Commis-
sioner Clark suggested an amended motion to read as follows:
Motion by Mayor Jar~tad and Commissioner Clark that no decision be made and so resolution be
adopted for UAB Funds for the extension of Kitsap Way and the proposed and recommended route;
also, that the City's Comprehensive Plan be amended accordingly and that the City continue to
study alternate routes that are available as well as traffic studies, etc. Mayor Jarstad agreed
to amend the motion to read as above.
Clerk called for question on original motion as follows: Mayor Jarstad, yes; Commissioner Clark,
yes; Commissioner Schoneman, no.

HEARING - DONALD TUCKER (Represented by Leonard Krusef Attorney) RE: TOWING SERVICE
Leonard Kruse, Attorney representing Donald Tucker, explained to the Council that Mr. Tucker
has applied to the Police Department to be added on their towing call list. Mr. Kruse gave
background of Donald Tucker's experience and his field and stated that he (Mr. Tucker) met all
regulations the Police Department set forth. Gave brief resume of of letters and calls he made
to the Police Department regarding this matter. Stated his client was informed verbally by
Asst. Chief Henry that all regulations necessary were met and he would be on the call list as
of July 15, 1972. Mr. Kruse stated that this never came about and explained that he has served
court papers on the Chief of Police, and the Mayor (Commissioner of Public Safety) in regard
to this long delay. Stated bls client has the right to know the reason he is not on the Police
Department's Towing Call List and commented that his client had gone to some expense in meeting
regulations and establishing his business in the City; that his business would not be financially
substantial unless he was on the Police call list.
Lengthy discussion was held and Mayor Jaratad assured Mr. Kruse that Bremerton'a Police Department
has no type of monopoly providing for towing of vehicles in connection with Police Matters.
City Attorney Walgren stated that Mr. Kruse's court action was premature; that the matter had not
gone completely through the Council for action.
Robert S. Johnson, former owner of Miller Towing, commented that he was dissatisfied when he was on
the Police Call List and discussed problems he had with the Police Department.
Del Langton stated that the system should be on "take turn basis"; that a person involved in an
accident should not have to decide which towing service he wants called to serve him.
Mr. Kruae stated that the Police Department usually calls the towing service on their call list
and according to their policy operate on the basis of consecutively calling in turn all the
towing services on their list.
Mr. Kruse stated his client should not be put to any additional expense and should be put on the
call list as there is no reason why he has not been added to the list.
The Council agreed that the hearing should be continued when representatives of the Police
Department and involved towing services are present and after additional information is
provided to the Council.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Schoneman to continue the hearing on January 24, 1973,

PUBLIC HEARING - CITY'S CONNECTION TO NEW FREEWAY (K-NERNER-CITY ARTERIAL SYSTEM)
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Cormaissioner Schonoman to hold the public hearing on the K-Werner
Arterial System, carried unanimously.
William Parker, City Engineer, explained that if funds are going to be allocated from the Urban
Arterial Board for this project or any project on a new route in the next biennium, a resolution
must be adopted by the Council adopting the route prior to the first week in the year; that the
purpose of this hearing is to review the particular route connecting the K-Werner local access
interchange to the Street System of the Bremerton area.
IlMr.i Parker introduced Mr. Don Monroe, Principal Engineer conducting study for the City (Representing
Redford Engineers--Consultants for the City) who was present to explain the various aspects of study and conclusions of his firm.
(oVER)
Mr. Monroe explained that Kitsap County retained Redford Engineering Firm to make a study in order
to determine alternate routes for connecting the K-Warner Interchange to the arterials in the City
and County.
Mr. Monroe stated it was the opinion of his firm that the purpose of the K-Warner Interchange is
a local access interchange to serve residences and businesses of the area immediately surrounding
the interchange; that it is not intended to connect to another huge arterial.
Mr. Monroe stated that Redford Engineers have examined nine specific routes, seven of which were
eliminated because of topographical conditions. Further explained that his firm examined data
from the Puget Sound Goverr~nental Conference to determine the magnitude of traffic that might be
expected on several of the routes.
Mr. Monroe pointed out the remaining two routes on an aerial map, one route to connect to Burwell
at Callow Avenue and proceed easterly on Burwell; the other route to extend northerly to Marine
Drive Intersection at Kitsap Way. Mr. Monroe explained that his firm recommends the route
extending to Marine Drive/Kitsap Way Intersection which would cost approximately 1.2 million
dollars compared to the route connecting to Burwell at Callow Avenue which would cost approximately
2.0 million dollars as well as being more disruptive to the ~nvironment.
Mrs. Edwin Furman, 213 South Summit, asked how many homes would need to be destroyed if the route
connecting to Burwell at Callow was established; also, agreed that this route wonid be harmful
to the enviror~ant, and she definitely opposed it. Commissionqr Schoneman stated he bali&red
about 25 homes would have to be destroyed.
Dr. Muller, Rocky Pt. Drive (Business at Marine Drive/Kitsap Way Intersection), stated he did not
believe the Marine Drive/Kitaap Way Intersection could handle the additional traffic which would
be caused if the route leading to this intersection was establibhed. Stated he could see no reason
why National Avenue could not be used for channeling the traffic from the K-Warner Interchange.
Mr. Monroe stated his firm has done enough study to know that Kitsap Way access would require
less grading and disrupting than other alternatives, and that Kitsap Way is capable of handling
the anticipated traffic with proper signal control. Mr. Monroe stated that his firm believes
National Avenue is needed as another arterial to serve the area.
Ross Warner, Chico Resident, (downtown businessman) questioned what arterials would serve the
!!downtow~ area and the west side.
.IMf. Monroe stated his firm's opinion that from the freeway the interchanges at Oyster Bay and
i Sinclair Inlet will serve the downtown area and west side, along with improved arterial facilities
:on Cambrain at Farragut together with probably improvements on Preble and Constitution.
:~Mr'. Warner stated that he did not feel this would provide proper service to the downtow~ area; that
!lone would either have to get off at Oyster Bay and fight the traffic and inte~scetions on Kitsap
iWay all the way into town or one would have to get off at Gorst and fight the Navy Yard traffic
!all the way into town.
imf. Monroe stated there is no ratiofial way to provide access directly to the downtown area without
.::~sr~ and tearing down a large portion of the community.
:Arnold Bloomer, 3014 Rocky Pt. Rd., con~nented that the expenditure of 1.2 million dollars would
,l°nly save Rocky Pt. residents about a quarter of a mile in getting to the freeway.
?Mr. Monroe explained that it probably wouldn't even save the Rocky Pt. residents that distance;
ithat this route will not be built for the Rocky Pt. user to get to the freeway.
ii.Marlin Frohardt stated he doubted if the Marine Drive/Kitsap Way Interchange could handle the
!additional traffic that would be caused by the recor~nended arterial; that twice as many cars
would be using the intersection.
.'~Mr' Monroe stated it would be a busy inters~ction adequately handled by traffic signals.
!Rick Stebner, 3321 Rocky Pt. Rd., explained that Rohky Pt. residents are worried about rumors of a
ibridge being built across Rocky Pt.
i~r. Monroe assured Mr. Stebner that the study of Redford Engineers had nothing to do with proposing
!Ia facility that would go to Rocky Pt.
imf. Stebner stated that the proposed arterial would provide easy access to Rocky Pt. and residents
flare worried that in the future someone would decide to build a bridge from Rocky Pt. across the
Port Washington Narrows.
Mr. Monroe stated that the recommendation of his firm ia for a local access interchange; that his
ifirm did not recommend to the County or City that this road be extended down Rocky Pt.
Mr. Parker, City Engineer, stated that the Engineering Department has not studied and has not
contemplated any type of projection route down Rocky Pt.
Diane Elsie questioned if any study has been made to improve and widen National Avenue so that it
could accomodate any amount of traffic; also, questioned what the cost would be to improve National
Avenue.
