PSRC granted Kingston’s Complete Streets and State Route 104 Corridor Planning Study $250,000.
The 30 day public comment period will run from July 11-Aug. 9. The Transportation Policy Board will review public comment and make a recommendation to the Executive Board on September 12, 2013.

Kitsap County Public Works and its consultant are completing a Feasibility Study to assess whether ferry-bound traffic could be redirected to the north couplet of Highway 104. The study supports joint planning efforts to make downtown Kingston a pedestrian friendly and safe area. Read more at www.kitsapgov.com/pw/sr104_study.htm.
