FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
County seeks road
project ideas
Now is the time to pitch your road project
idea to Kitsap County
Port
Orchard,
WA — Kitsap County is asking for road
project ideas and suggestions to be included in the 6-year Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). Each year Kitsap County Public Works completes a
transportation project selection process.
This year’s process determines which new roadway projects will be
selected to be included in the 2010 – 2015 TIP.
Projects are scored and ranked using objective
criteria. The criteria include safety and/or capacity needs, structural
condition, environmental retrofits, and non-motorized needs.
Projects are selected based on the availability and timing of
funding, especially for State and Federally funded programs.
The
project selection process and TIP update happens only once each year.
If you have a suggestion for a road project, now is the time to speak
up. Suggestions for this year’s TIP update are accepted through April 20th.
Submit your idea online at
http://www.kitsapgov.com/pw/sixyear_tip.htm.
Complete information about the process, and descriptions of the type of
projects considered, are also available there. Call Kitsap One
(360-337-5777) if you have questions.
