Walk Easy alk Easy
Improvements to make your walk safer and more enjoyable
t’s ti me to get outside and ride your bike or take a
walk! Kitsap’s natural beauty is a regional draw for
cyclists and walkers. Many take advantage of the
Imyriad of trails and paved shoulders in this litt le
slice of heaven we call home.
opti ons, the County is expanding the number of
roadway miles with paved shoulders. Paved roadway
shoulders, up to 6 feet in some cases, provide
additi onal room and safety.
This year the County Roads Division is constructi ng over three miles of paved
shoulders on the following roads: Seabeck Highway, Hansville Road, Glenwood
Road, and two segments in Manchester. Segments of Suquamish Way, Sidney
Road, Alaska Avenue, Anderson Hill Road and Carney Lake Road are in the design
phase for future shoulder improvements.
Multi -purpose trail improvements are also on the horizon. This year the
design process on the 3/4 mile-long Markwick Trail – just north of Waaga Way
(SR 303) – will begin. This project improves the existi ng Clear Creek Trail and
connects Silverdale Way to Ridgetop Blvd.
Another exciti ng project is the North Kitsap Heritage Park Trail. We are
working with park stewards and trail advocates to design the best form functi on
for this connector from White Horse Drive to West Kingston Road.
These roadway and trail improvements are integral to enhancing your
outdoor experience. Now it’s ti me to lace on some sneakers and enjoy!
