HSIP III - Kitsap Way and Warren Avenue Traffic Signal and Multimodal Safety Project
Project Status
The City has received funds for both projects, and for simplicity the scope and budget from both projects has been collapsed into a single grant. The total cost of the project is estimated at $2,601,400; total grant funds offered is $2,514,800, and the City’s cost is $86,600 which will be funded by REET. Design has been taking place in 2020, with construction anticipated in summer of 2021. Design is currently at 60% completion with signal retiming anticipated to start in June 2021 on the Warren Avenue/Wheaton Way Corridor first, then the Kitsap Way Corridor in September of 2021.
Project Overview
In 2018, the City applied for two grants from the Highway Safety Improvement Program; one to improve the bike lanes along Kitsap Way, and a second to improve traffic signals on State Route 303.
Timeline/Schedule
Construction Summer/Fall 2021.
Funding
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and City Funding.
Kitsap Way Bike Lanes ($2M project)
Location is SR3 to Callow
Well-developed concept plans - eliminate sharrows, push all bike lanes adjacent to curb
Mostly re-channelizing, marking bike lanes, green paint at conflict areas especially through intersections
Bike signals with detection at signaled intersections
Updated signal coordination and timing plans to meet MUTCD timing standards
Potential minor right-of-way acquisition – to be determined during design
SR303 Intersection Safety Improvements ($700K)
Improvements at signalized intersections from Burwell to Furneys (Fred Meyer)
Updated signal coordination and timing plans to meet MUTCD timing standards
New signal heads and back plates
New Auxiliary signal heads
Upgraded ADA push buttons at 6th
Signing and pavement marking improvements
End Result
Signals that are more visible, safer travel for pedestrian at crossings, bicyclists, and improved signal timing on Kitsap Way (SR 310). Improved signal visibility and travel times on Wheaton Way and Warren Avenue (SR 303).
