A Resolution regarding the SR304 Transportation Improvement Project
Parking on Burwell Street.
WHEREAS, the City is a partner and the lead agency in the SR304 Transportation
Improvement Project; and,
WHEREAS, the preferred altemative selected for the project includes providing for three lanes
of traffic on Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Pacific Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, the preferred alternative requires the removal of existing on-street parking on
Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Pacific Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, at the time of selection of the preferred alternative the City committed to evaluate
methods to off-set the residential parking removed on Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Warren
Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, City staff held a series of neighborhood meetings to formulate a recommendation
for off-setting the on-street parking removed and received concurrence from Washington State
Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration Officials on the recommendation;
now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton:
That the City recognizes the opportunity unique to this project to provide "mitigation" for the
on-street parking removed in the residential areas along Burwell Street as part of the SR304
Transportation Improvement Project. This unique opportunity arises from the Federal and
State determination that addressing the removal of on street parking along Burwell Street is an
appropriate project activity and is eligible for Federal and State reimbursement.
The additional lane will be added to the south side of Burwell Street, necessitating removal of
the existing on-street parking from that side of the street. To off-set the removal of the on-
street parking on Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Chester Avenue, the City will:
Where physically feasible, provide up to two asphalt parking spaces per unit off the
alley for those properties that front on the south side of Burwell Street from Hewitt
Avenue to Chester Avenue which do not currently have two improved spaces per unit.
This program is voluntary, that is only those property owners who desire the
improvements will receive them.
Properties that do not have sufficient space to provide for two on-site parking spaces per
unit off of the alley will not be provided additional remote parking.
Properties that firont on the south side of Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Chester
Avenue and do not have alley access may develop a mutually acceptable and
appropriate alternative asphalt parking space placement.
Existing dirt or gravel parking areas may be paved under this program; existing paved
areas will not be improved.

In kind cash payments to property owners will not be permitted, with the exception of
an eligible property owner who constructs a garage or similar improvement, will be
eligible to receive the average cost to provide the appropriate number of asphalt parking
space(s) on a per space basis. Payment will be made after the garage is constructed.
This program terminates one year after the date of award of the construction contract for
Burwell Street portion of the SR304 Transportation Improvement Project unless
otherwise extended by the City.
No action will be taken on Burwell Street from Chester Avenue to Warren Avenue.
