Project Status and Schedule (Updated November 7, 2018)


The project will be designed in 2018 and is scheduled to be constructed during summer 2019. The next steps are to complete the design and stake the improvements in the project area. The improvements will start being staked on Wednesday, November 14 and should be complete in a couple of weeks.

The City is reaching out to the impacted property owners to meet and discuss the impacts in front of their homes if they would like. The next public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 27 between 6 pm – 8 pm at Kitsap Lake Elementary School. These meetings are intended to present design findings and gather input from the community. Meetings will be announced via the City’s website, City social media, and the project’s email list. Be sure to sign up for emails if you would like to stay updated on the progress of this project.     

Project Overview


In June 2017, the City received a $1,750,000 Safe Routes to School Grant to install a sidewalk along Harlow Drive from Kitsap Way to Osprey Circle. In addition to the sidewalks, lighting, school speed zone signs, and crosswalk treatments will be installed. The new sidewalk will provide a safe route for children to walk to Kitsap Lake Elementary and vastly improve the walkability of the Kitsap Lake neighborhood.
