SUMMARY: The City of Bremerton will use this Nonmotorized Planning grant to evaluate conceptual
alignments for a key segment of the Kitsap Regional Trail, a system of coordinated trails that will be
gradually improved over the coming years and decades into a nonmotorized transportation facility
which will connect Kitsap County rural areas with its cities and rural communities. This Non-
motorized planning grant will provide information necessary to inform the alignment decision. The
City of Bremerton is a regional water provider. Of critical importance to this process is protection of
the City's watershed, which provides water to over 50,000 customers, and which is adjacent to the
area proposed for public access. This planning effort will allow the city to determine where access is
appropriate and how this access can be managed so this future key Nonmotorized link can be
provided without endangering the City's drinking water. Deliverables will include alignment
recommendations, a phased planning recommendation; planning-level cost estimates; maintenance
requirements; trail head locations; parking; security, and other recommendations to secure the
watershed despite increased Nonmotorized use adjacent to the watershed. This is a unique
opportunity; there will not be a connected Regional Trail without this access. The Match will be in-
kind services (meetings, workshops, staff and administration time) of$40,000 in value.
