County Seeks Road Projects
Now's the time to pitch your road project to the County

(Port Orchard, WA) Kitsap County is asking for your ideas and suggestions for road projects to be included in the transportation planning. Each year Kitsap County Public Works completes a transportation project selection process. The process determines which roadway projects are selected to be included in the County’s six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2009-2014.

Projects placed into the process are scored and ranked using objective criteria. The criteria include safety and/or capacity needs, structural condition, availability of funding and timing of the funding, especially for State and Federally funded programs. The project selection process and TIP update happens only once each year. If you have an idea for a much-needed project now is the time to speak up. Project ideas for this year’s TIP update are accepted through April 15th 2008.

You can submit your idea online at www.kitsapgov.com/pw/tipplan.htm. You’ll find more information about the process, and descriptions of the type of projects considered, on the website. If you have questions about this process please call The Open Line.
