Bicycle Routes - Look for the Signs
 Route 31 -
Begins at the
north end of Kitsap Way at the Bremerton City limits. Bremerton does have
some bike route signs up, but not really associated with our effort yet.
The Route travels north on Chico Way to Newberry Hill at which point it
turns right onto Newberry Hill/Silverdale Way. It ends at Byron in
Silverdale. Route 31 picks back up at the north end of Silverdale after
the Waaga Way overpass and runs north and continues along Viking Way when
Silverdale Way ends. This route ends at the Poulsbo City Limit. This route
is currently marked with signs.
Route 37
- Begins at the
County border with Pierce County on Bethel Burley Road. It runs north to
SR 16 and continues along Bethel Rd to its terminus at SR 160 (Sedgwick).
It ends here due to the lack of shoulder width north of the intersection.
This route is also already marked with signs.
Route 25
- Begins on Sedgwick just west of Sidney at the Port Orchard
city limit. The route runs southwest along Glenwood and turns at Lake
Flora continuing along Glenwood and ends at JH Road. This route ends due
to shoulder width restrictions south of JH Road.
The Kitsap County Bicycles Facilities Plan encourages the use of
non-motorized transportation by linking population centers and highly used
destinations. Additionally, it provides for connecting to and between
recreational facilities.
