AGENDA BILL - 2004-2009 SIX YEAR
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The following provides additional clarifying information regarding several of the projects
contained in the City of Bremerton 2004-2009 Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP):
1. Downtown Pedestrian/BTC Access Improvements
This project's inclusion in the 6-year TIP is a necessary step in qualifying and securing
funding for the project to allow studies and design to proceed. The source of the City's
match for all phases of the project has been identified as the Ferry Toll Match funds
administered by WSDOT. With this commitment, no City funds will be required to
satisfy the project match requirements. As a contingency, various other funding sources
are being examined including Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funds.
Additional discussion with the City Council on this issue is continuing.
2. Warren Ave. Off-Ramp
The project is included as a key transportation element in the "Harrison District Plan",
which was adopted by Ordinance #4572, effective 10/30/96, and incorporated into the
Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. The primary project objective, as identified in the plan,
is to improve access to the Harrison District, with a focus on improving emergency
access to Harrison Hospital. The Plan was adopted with significant input from the public
and key stakeholders including Bremerton Fire and Rescue.
In response to a City Council inquiry, the Department of Public Works is estimating
anticipated traffic volumes on the proposed ramp, and is assessing the effects of this
traffic on existing driveway access to Callahan Drive. The results of this analysis will be
provided to the City Council by August 31, 2003. The Department is available to present
this information at Council District meetings.
3. State/Burweil Pedestrian Issues
The Department of Public Works and Utilities will commission a study in 2004 by an
independent consultant to examine pedestrian and safety issues at the intersection of State
Street and Burwell Street. The study will include an analysis of existing signage, traffic
and pedestrian operations, and will include recommendations on what, if any, engineering
improvements can be made to the intersection. The study is expected to cost $5,000-
$10,000. Although not specifically identified in the TIP, this study will be included in
the "Miscellaneous" planning and budget line item.
