Task 03 - Existing Conditions Inventory
Task Objective
To collect and summarize existing non-motorized transportation system information
Approach
The Parametrix team will determine the adequacy of existing conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians
through data contained in the City's Transportation Plan, roadway inventory, and accident records and
from field observations. The Parametrix Team will conduct supplemental fieldwork to review the
condition of crosswalks, transit stops, and high-volume pedestrianlbicycle use areas such as the
Bremerton Transportation Center, Manette neighborhood, Olympic College, and schools, We will
summarize the attributes of existing facilities in the City based on our observations. Given the varied
needs of bicyclists and pedestrians, we will conduct separate reviews for bicycle and pedestrian
circulation.
The Parametrix Team will also conduct street-level field review and analyze the condition and adequacy
of existing bicycle routes. We will examine the location, design, and functionality of those facilities.
Throughout the course of this analysis, we will keep in mind the needs of a variety of users. We can
divide bicyclists according to their use of a bicycle for commuting, also called utilitarian use, or for
recreation. Utilitarian cyclists need to be able to bicycle all the way to their destinations, whether that is a
commercial center, a store, school, or to a doctor's office. On the other hand, many recreational cyclists
would prefer to stay away from such destinations.
The needs of pedestrians vary as well. Able-bodied adults frequently maintain walking speeds that are
greater than children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. They are also more skilled at navigating
through intersections. As we examine existing pedestrian conditions, we will keep in mind the needs of
those who do not walk fast, those with less peripheral vision and awareness, and people who are
otherwise disabled.
The Parametrix Team will also review bicycle and pedestrian collision data compiled by the City of
Bremerton and WSDOT. We will review and summarize the overall number of collisions, their locations,
as well as other information kept in records.
The Parametrix Team will collect existing traffic count data (our team has much of this already) and
review the level of service on existing bicycle routes from information in the Bremerton Transportation
Plan. Traffic data will also be compiled for other key facilities as well. This data will be utilized in
subsequent tasks as they relate to the identification of opportunities and constraints for new bike and
pedestrian facilities. We will also collect information regarding enforcement policies of the Bremerton
Police Departments and provide an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of these programs.

Task 04 - Identify Non-Motorized Transportation System Deficiencies
Task Objective
To identify bicycle and pedestrian system deficiencies in the City of Bremerton
Approach
The Parametrix Team will use a combination of information gathered from the Existing Conditions
Inventory and a questionnaire to determine what the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in Bremerton are,
as well as to prioritize these needs. We will develop, circulate and tabulate data from a bicycle and
pedestrian needs focused survey. The intent of the survey questionnaire is to identify and prioritize some
of the needs of the community. The questionnaire may solicit information about demographics, route
preferences, facilities, safety issues, and other behaviors related to bicycling and walking. Questionnaires
will be distributed at the public workshops and through other informational outlets such as the Olympic
College and the Bremerton Transportation Center. These surveys will be tabulated and analyzed. The
survey analysis will be used to determine:
· identification of general facility and program needs for bicycle and pedestrian development
within Bremerton
· location of most needed bicycle facility improvements and type
· location of most needed pedestrian facility improvements and type
· planning and implementation priorities of the general public
· potential safety conflict locations
Next, The Parametrix Team will determine the adequacy ofthe existing bicycle facilities for the following
criteria:
. safety
. connectivity
· network completeness

We will identify gaps in the bicycle route network and areas of the City that are not well served. We will
also identify the needs of the various users that are not well served.
We will also conduct a general review and analysis of those pedestrian facilities which experience the
highest activity levels including:
· Employment Centers
· Harborside District
· Downtown Bremerton and Other Commercial Centers
· Local Public Schools
· Olympic College
· Multi-modal Transportation Connections
· Local and Regional Parks
· Community Centers and Libraries
The existing pedestrian facilities in Bremerton will be evaluated for continuity, convenience barriers for
disabled persons, and access. System continuity is defined as providing the user the opportunity to travel
in a reasonably direct line from an origin (a residential neighborhood typically) to a destination. The
existing system will be reviewed to determine existing gaps, barriers, and bottlenecks that prevent facility
users from traveling to destinations within a neighborhood, throughout the region, and to connecting
points within the region. The existing system will be reviewed for general user convenience in terms of:
· accessibility from points of origin (coverage),
· comfort level of streets used in terms of vehicle traffic, crossing protection, lane width,
driveways, and other items,
· topography and grades,
· support facilities such as benches, and drinking fountains at major destinations, and
· coherence of the system to the average user attempting to reach an unfamiliar destination
Assumptions
· The Parametrix Team will develop the questionnaire/survey form and summarize survey
results
· City of Bremerton staff will assist with survey distribution and collection

Task 05 - Identify Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Improvements
Task Objective
To identify non-motorized facility projects and programs for future implementation
Approach
The needs analysis will lead to a set of recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian network
improvements. The key objective of this effort will be to evaluate the proposed network consisting of
bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Parametrix Team will focus on primary (or regional) and secondary
routes, design and operating standards for the installation of bicycle and pedestrian improvements, new
safety and marketing programs, and a detailed implementation strategy focusing on developing feasible
and competitive projects for available State and Federal funding.
The evaluation framework generally consists of criteria such as need, safety, available right of way,
connectivity and directness, grades, barriers, multi-modal linkages, safety and conflicts, and security.
Typical criteria used to develop recommended bicycle and pedestrian routes and facilities include:
.
Connectivity - provide connectivity between existing sidewalks, routes, lanes, or paths. Major
gaps and barriers, including narrow roadway segments, should be targeted as high priority items.
.
Multi-Modal Coordination - take advantage of multi-modal connections, including ferry and
bus transfer stations, transit terminals and shuttles to major destinations.
.
Accessibility - be accessible from residential neighborhoods and connect to major destinations
within Bremerton, including parks, community centers, employment centers, schools, and
commercial centers. Existing and future activity center maps will be used to identify any
changes in the location of major destinations in the region, including transit centers, employment
centers, entertainment venues, and other destinations.
.
Convenience - provide reasonably direct routes from residential areas to major destinations.
.
Aesthetics - both recreational and commuting users prefer to ride along streets and through areas
that are shaded, have visual relief, or offer other visual amenities.
.
Usage - serve the greatest number of commuters and recreational users possible, focusing on
major destinations. Potential usage will be determined through field observation, surveys, and
feedback from staff and project stakeholders.

· Safety - provide the highest level of safety possible while mitigating major safety concerns such
as narrow roadway segments. This will be determined through discussions with staff, field
observations, and the accident analysis. We will also identify high vehicular traffic locations and
present the opportunities and constraints associated with the proposed bike and pedestrian vis-a-
vis general circulation.
· Planned Roadway Improvement Projects - take advantage of planned roadway improvements
that may accommodate bicycle facilities with relatively little additional cost.
· Coordination With Existing Plans - identification of consistency with other local, County, and
regional plans
Bicycle Facilities
The Parametrix Team will recommend a network of bicycle facilities including bicycle lanes, shared use
paths, and neighborhood bicycle routes (called bicycle boulevards or routes) and supporting amenities.
All proposed bikeway facilities will be described by the classification system developed by AASHTO in
"A Policy on Geometric Design," and by the latest research conducted by FHW A on bikeway planning
and design. The classification system consists of the following categories:
· Shared Use Paths: bicycle or multi-use paths separate from roadways, with at-grade or grade-
separated crossings
· Bike Lanes: striped bicycle lanes, typically on the right-hand side of roadways
· Bike Routes: shared roadways, often in neighborhoods, on which traffic calming, intersection
treatments, signage, and other improvements ensure safe and convenient shared use. Also refers to
major roadways that provide adequate shoulder or curb lane width and signing, but no striping.
Building off of the existing network, The Parametrix Team will propose a network of bikeways. Prior to
recommending specific routes, we will confer with the stakeholder group and the larger public to learn of
the preferences for vehicle lane widths, the type of streets on which the City is willing to put bikeways,
and other pertinent details. We will select candidate routes to consider for bikeways before going into the
field. Each of these candidate routes will be measured from curb to curb, explored by The Parametrix
Team staff via bicycle, and assessed for its potential as a bikeway.
We will develop recommendations as to what can be done to improve selected streets or corridors as
bikeways. We. will describe the classification of each of the recommended routes, their starting and
ending points, as well as the destinations and neighborhoods they will serve. We will propose typical
cross-sections of each of the recommended streets with added bike lanes including typical lane widths and
restriping that would be needed. We will describe any paving, striping, signage, and other improvements
needed to create each of the bikeways. We will also prepare a cost estimate for each bikeway.
Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities
The Parametrix Team will recommend a public bicycle-parking program focused on employment centers,
major shopping centers, public buildings with high rates of visitors, and schools. Bicycle parking
improvements recommendations for these locations will include:

· the appropriate type of bicycle parking for each location (racks or lockers)
· design standards for bicycle racks that are easy to lock to, support bicycles well, and are suitable to be
placed in public spaces
· the availability of physical infrastructure to accommodate bike racks in parking lots and on sidewalks
· general design standards for appropriate bicycle parking locations
· an approximate number of bicycle parking devices needed region-wide; and,
· a cost estimate for the program,
The bicycle parking program will focus on use public right-of-way and lands, such as sidewalks and
parking lots. Additionally, we will recommend means of retrofitting existing commercial and retail
buildings to include bicycle parking.
The Parametrix Team will recommend guidelines for employment site amemtIes that accommodate
bicycle commuters. These amenities will include bicycle parking, showers, and clothing lockers. The
guidelines will include:
.
the appropriate type of bicycle parking needed
the number of bicycle parking spaces needed according to land use type and size
appropriate locations for bicycle parking along with spacing recommendations
an adequate number of showers and clothing lockers according to land use type and size
.
.
.
These guidelines will be suitable for developer requirements or as a regulating ordinance.
Pedestrian Facilities
Based on our findings from the existing conditions analysis and needs analysis, The Parametrix Team will
develop specific recommendations to improve the pedestrian environment in Bremerton. The primary
focus will be locations having the highest numbers of recorded pedestrian accidents. The secondary focus
will be areas documented as having the highest level of pedestrian activity.
We will propose specific improvements and at ten to fifteen of the highest priority locations.
Recommendations may include such intersection enhancements as:
· new crosswalks
· enhanced crosswalks
· refuge islands
· new pedestrian signals
· improved signage or pavement markings
· curb extensions
· in-pavement flashing markers
· countdown signals
· wider sidewalks
· ADA ramps or improvements to existing ramps.

We will prepare general recommendations for improving the walking environment along Bremerton's
residential streets. These recommendations may include such improvements as:
· decorative street lighting
· street furniture
· improved landscaping
· improved ADA ramps; and,
· sIgnage
Safe Walk Routes to School Improvements
Safe Routes to School programs help encourage more children to bicycle and walk to school through
engineering, education, encouragement, and enforcement. The Parametrix Team will work with the
stakeholder group to develop programmatic and site-specific safe routes to school recommendations for
the community. Ultimately, safe routes to school plans are co-operative ventures, and their success
depends on informing, consulting, and involving everyone with an interest in the project. The Parametrix
Team will establish a framework for the City of Bremerton and the local school district to carry out this
process.
The Parametrix Team will identify eXIstmg general barriers to walking to school, including school
policies, and propose feasible projects for eliminating those barriers. We will recommend programs to
increase the number of children walking to school, and suggest methods to integrate pedestrian systems
linking schools with other community trip generators. The plan will also provide tested strategies that can
be adopted by the School District.
Depending on map resources available to the consultant, The Parametrix Team will create a "Route to
School Map" for up to two selected neighborhood schools. The Parametrix Team will prepare a route and
targeted improvement map for each of the target schools. Each school plan will include a description,
cost estimate, and photograph ofthe location for each high priority project, up to three projects per school
(as available information permits). Additional projects will be provided in tabular form with a project
location, planning level cost estimate, and photograph.
Assumptions
· The Parametrix Team will lead the identification of project improvements in this task with
support and input from City of Bremerton and Bremerton School District staff

Task 06 - Plan Implementation and Funding Strategy
Task Objective
To develop a strategy to implement the plan and seek funding for individual projects
Approach
Recommended bicycle, pedestrian, and safe routes to school programs and improvements will be ranked
according to long range comprehensive plan criteria and submitted to city staff and the stakeholder group
for review and comments. These criteria will include those listed below and others developed with the
stakeholder group,
.
Closure of a critical gap or correction of an existing system bottleneck
Improvement or program that serves an immediate safety need
Segment which will attract high usage
Current availability and/or suitability of right of way
Service to a previously neglected part of Bremerton
Cost effectiveness
Projected reduction in vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled
Integration into the existing regional bikeway system
Interface with other modes
Local political and community support
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The recommended programs and improvements will next be evaluated according to specific criteria listed
in funding sources such as SAFETEA-LU Each source requires a different type of project and
documentation of impacts and benefits. Because of this, the selected routes or improvements will be
developed in sufficient detail to qualify for the most stringent program requirements. Other criteria to be
applied from SAFETEA-LU include an emphasis on commuter routes, coordination with adjoining
community bikeways, coordination with other modes (transit), a completed and adopted bikeway plan,
and compatibility with regional transportation plans.
Our Team will work closely with the stakeholder group and staff throughout the selection and ranking
process, lending expertise on funding, planning, and design guidelines when required. We will also
conduct another field review to crosscheck the feasibility of certain sections, which may present
implementation challenges,
A phasing plan will be developed based on the ranking outcome combined with (a) funding availability
and requirements, (b) other programmed transportation improvements, (c) eliminating an immediate
bottleneck or safety hazard, and (d) ensuring that the system grows rationally rather than as a series of
disconnected pieces over time. The Phasing Plan will recommend a ranking (short-term, intermediate-
term, and long-term) to complete a system over the next 10 to 20 years.

Each segment will be evaluated according to an estimated cost-per-mile and estimated on-going
maintenance and operation costs by implementation phase based on comparable experiences.
Departmental responsibility will also be identified, as will the relationship to possible funding and other
specific requirements.
The Parametrix Team will identify major federal, State, Regional and local funding sources for the
proposed bicycle, pedestrian and safe routes to school project. Cost estimates of the phased
improvements will be compared with funding needs, so that long term programming for local matching
funds can be accomplished. This will include estimates of operating and maintenance costs that are
usually borne by local governments. A table identifying available funding sources and applicability to
specific priority projects will be provided in the final report.
Assumptions
. The Parametrix Team will lead the preparation of preliminary project cost estimates, with
assistance from City of Bremerton staff regarding recent unit price information
· The Parametrix Team will lead preparation of funding source identification supplemented by City
of Bremerton Staff experience and knowledge of existing funding sources
Deliverable
· Section of the final report summarizing preliminary cost estimates and funding sources for non-
motorized transportation system improvements in the City of Bremerton
Task 07 - Draft and Final Report
