At times, staff will recommend that residents park away from the work area to avoid delays; on-street parking on Washington Avenue and 11th Street has been identified as the best parking location for these individuals. It has been observed that much of the available parking in this area is being used by Shipyard workers who park throughout the day.

Upon completion of the project, the parking restriction will be removed. Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 10.10.040 authorizes the City Council to create restricted residential parking zones.
