4 Intrductin Intrductin Bremertn is a city rich in histry and beauty. Over the past century, Bremertn has cntinued t grw int an attractive waterfrnt cmmunity n the shres f Puget Sund. This Appendix aims t prvide a 20 year visin fr Bremertn s transprtatin system, which respects the cmmunity s histry and character, supprts anticipated grwth in the regin, and builds n Bremertn s mmentum as an attractive cmmunity in which t live, wrk, and play by supprting safe and cmfrtable travel by all mdes thrugh The verall visin fr Bremertn s Plan is t prmte, manage, and maintain a safe, efficient, and integrated multimdal transprtatin system that is cnsistent with the City s verall visin and adequately serves anticipated grwth. Guidance frm City staff, the Planning Cmmissin, stakehlders, and citizens helped identify several pririties: Create an intercnnected multimdal netwrk that cnnects all users t City Centers and majr destinatins within Bremertn as well as Kitsap Cunty Imprve safety fr all users thrugh updated facilities and street designs that accmmdate all mdes Crdinate with lcal and reginal partners t ensure that travel patterns d nt disprprtinately impact Bremertn residents quality f life Increase transprtatin spending n maintaining, preserving, and perating the existing transprtatin system Bremertn achieve its visin. This dcument includes five sectins: Sectin 1 Cnditins and Trends: Describes cnditins fr all travel mdes in the existing transprtatin system. This sectin als identifies current challenges and trends that will affect Bremertn s transprtatin netwrk in the future. Sectin 2 Cmmunity Outreach: Describes the public utreach prcess cnducted with cmmunity stakehlders and members, as well as specific feedback received frm cmmunity members. Sectin 3 Future Visin: Intrduces a layered netwrk cncept that frms the fundatin f this plan t accmmdate all mdes f travel and create a cmplete transprtatin netwrk in Bremertn. This sectin als details hw t accmmdate each travel mde and establishes the City s level f service standards. Sectin 4 Prjects: Prvides a lng term capital plan based n the cmmunity values expressed in the transprtatin gals and layered netwrk. Sectin 5 Implementing the Plan: Evaluates Bremertn s financial cnditins ver the next 20 years and prvides guidance n plan implementatin. T serve as a useful dcument fr the cmmunity, including bth City staff and the public, this Appendix fcuses n the City s visin and the prjects and prgrams intended t meet that visin. The Plan sets a framewrk fr understanding, priritizing, measuring, and creating a transprtatin netwrk t help T Appendix 4

5 Sectin 2: Cnditins and Trends Cnditins and Trends This sectin describes hw peple use Bremertn s transprtatin netwrk tday, as well as hw that may change ver the next 20 years as the regin grws. The way peple travel is greatly influenced by the built envirnment, which includes land use and travel crridrs; it als includes the key destinatins peple travel t, such as where they live, wrk, play, shp, and recreate, and an understanding f hw peple are traveling based n anticipated travel grwth and travel mde data. Land Uses and Key Destinatins The places where peple live, wrk, and play are impacted by hw a city and surrunding cmmunities guide where develpment ccurs. The Land Use Chapter f the Cmprehensive Plan prvides the guidance mentined here. One way a city can influence this is thrugh zning. Zning allws a city t encurage specific develpment, such as hmes and businesses, t ccur in targeted areas f the city. It is imprtant t cnsider land use when planning fr transprtatin because it prvides insight int areas where mre peple may cncentrate their travel. The City f Bremertn als endrses the Centers Cncept, which is described in detail in the Land Use Chapter f this Plan. In general, a Center is a mixed use area. It places residences, basic services fr residents, emplyment pprtunities, and amenities such as public spaces and parks, in a well designed area. Centers plan fr grwth in the mst efficient manner pssible. Centers als supprt easier access t jbs and transprtatin, urban amenities, and a pedestrian friendly envirnment with walking access t basic services. The cmmercial areas in Bremertn, where peple cmmnly shp, are lcated dwntwn, within the East Bremertn area, and west f SR 3; these areas are zned fr cmmercial and residential uses and can be seen in the Land Use Chapter. Dwntwn and East Bremertn are linked by the Manette Bridge, with prperties within these areas zned by the Dwntwn Reginal Center and Manette Neighbrhd Center. The intent f centers is t fcus cmmercial, entertainment, cultural, civic uses, and urban residential int an active cmpact, walkable area served by public transit. Other areas f cmmercial and industrial land use are lcated in the western prtins f the City alng Burwell Street, 6th Avenue, and Kitsap Way. Much f the remaining City area is zned fr single family residential, multi family residential, institutins, and the military. Parking is als a majr land use in Bremertn 1. Key destinatins, areas f the City where peple typically cncentrate their travel t and frm, and the Bremertn Centers are summarized in Figure 1. 1 PSRC Reginal Centers Mnitring Reprt prfile Bremertn.pdf T Appendix 5

6 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Dwntwn Bremertn Dwntwn Bremertn, lcated n Washingtn Avenue next t the Ferry Terminal, is a majr trip generatr in Bremertn. Within the district lcals and visitrs alike, explre public parks, funtains and art alng Bremertn s waterfrnt, while enjying the district's restaurants, museums, shps and turist attractins. The dwntwn area als features cmmunity events such as the Bremertn Farmer s Market at Evergreen Rtary Park. Kitsap Cnference Center Just a shrt ferry ride frm Seattle, the Kitsap Cnference Center prvides a 15,000 square ft venue fr meetings, cnferences, trade shws, scial events, reunins, and weddings alng ne f Bremertn s prime waterfrnt lcatins. Over the years, cuntless cnferences and events have been lcated at this waterfrnt lcatin drawing visitrs frm the regin and natin. Bremertn Center & Ferry Terminal Lcated in dwntwn, the Bremertn Center and Ferry Terminal prvide cnnectins t key lcal and reginal destinatins. Seven Kitsap Transit bus rutes and ne Masn Transit bus rute serve the Center. The Ferry Terminal is served by the Washingtn State Ferries, with cnnectins t Seattle, and Kitsap Transit, with passenger nly cnnectins t Prt Orchard and Annaplis. Bth The Bremertn Center and Ferry Terminal create high levels f multimdal activity, especially during peak cmmute travel times. Schls The Bremertn Schl District perates neighbrhd schls that serve apprximately 5,000 students within the City and surrunding areas 2. The District cnsists f: Crwnhill Elementary Armin Jahr Elementary Kitsap Lake Elementary View Ridge Elementary Naval Avenue Early Learning Center West Hills Stem Academy Muntain View Middle Schl Bremertn High Schl Renaissance High Schl The City f Bremertn, the Bremertn Schl District, and neighbrhd grups, have made a cmmitment t prvide safe access t the City s schls by establishing a State Safe Rutes t Schl (SRTS) prgram. Currently, the Bremertn Schl District has an established set f safe walking rutes fr Armin Jahr Elementary Schl, Crwnhill Elementary Schl, Kitsap Lake Elementary Schl, Naval Avenue Elementary Schl, and West Hills Elementary Schl. 2 Bremertn Schl District Abut ur District T Appendix 6

7 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Olympic Cllege Olympic Cllege is a majr destinatin in central Bremertn, and is hme t apprximately 8,000 students 3. In general, the pedestrian netwrk surrunding the cllege is well cnnected by streets t the suth and east side f campus, hwever the streets t the west are less cnnected and lack sidewalks in many lcatins. Warren Avenue serves as a majr barrier between the cllege and residential neighbrhds, restricting walking and biking pprtunities. The lack f facilities n the Warren Avenue bridge further inhibit walking and biking t the campus. Currently, there are n bike lanes n the bridge, and sidewalks are less than fur feet making it difficult fr pedestrians t use the facility. As a result, access t the cllege is primarily by car, using Warren Avenue between 13th Street and 16th Street r by Kitsap Transit Bus Rute 24. In additin t schls and parks, the Bremertn Senir Center and varius retirement cmmunities thrughut the area are majr generatrs f nn mtrized trips. Many residents f retirement cmmunities n lnger drive their wn vehicles, s they are dependent n privately perated shuttles, public transprtatin, and walking t get t dctrs appintments, residences f friends, and shpping/dining destinatins. There are apprximately 10 majr retirement cmmunities in Bremertn, lcated in a nrthsuth crridr rughly centered n SR 303. Parks and Recreatin Areas The City s park system cnsists f ne reginal park, three cmmunity parks, nine neighbrhd parks, 10 pcket parks, fur natural areas, six plazas, and five special use facilities. The City s parks and recreatin areas feature ball fields, playgrunds, walking paths, water access, picnic areas, scenic views, a skate park, and a dg park. 3 Olympic Cllege Facts and Figures c/ facts and figures T Appendix 7

8 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Naval Base Kitsap Naval Base Kitsap (NBK Bremertn) is lcated n the nrth side f the Sinclair Inlet within the incrprated bundaries f the City f Bremertn. It hsts the Puget Sund Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility which is Washingtn State s secnd largest industrial emplyer. Almst half f Bremertn s jbs are assciated with the Naval Shipyard, Naval Hspital and Fleet Lgistics Center. NBK Bremertn emplyers create a high level f multimdal transprtatin demand. Currently, heavy cngestin exists n crridrs leading t NBK Bremertn during the weekday mrning and afternn peak hurs, especially alng Burwell Street. In the future, Cmmands lcated n Naval Base Kitsap Bremertn are expected t see increased emplyment, which will further stress the transprtatin system surrunding the base. Puget Sund Industrial Center (PSIC Bremertn) PSIC Bremertn, frmally knwn as Suth Kitsap Industrial Area (SKIA), is a key reginal grwth center and destinatin. It cntains a mix f industrial and cmmercial businesses, including the Bremertn Natinal Airprt and the Olympic View Industrial Park. The radway netwrk within and surrunding PSIC Bremertn cnsists f SR 3 (a principal nrth/suth radway n the Kitsap Peninsula), SR 16 (a majr freeway that cnnects Bremertn with Tacma), and several tw lane cunty rads. Currently, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian systems are limited within PSIC Bremertn. T Appendix 8

10 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Netwrk Bremertn s transprtatin netwrk accmmdates many mdes f travel, including walking, bicycling, public transit, and driving. Vehicular travel is still the primary chice fr mst travelers in and arund Bremertn, as shwn in the American Cmmunity Survey data in Figure 2. The City has made significant investments in creating a walkable dwntwn. Nevertheless, city streets frm the fundatin f the transprtatin framewrk with radways shaping hw residents and visitrs experience Bremertn. Figure 2: Cmmute Mde t Wrk in Bremertn Taxi, Mtrcycle, Other Bike 2% 1% Wrk at Hme 8% Walk 13% Public Transit 8% Carpl 11% Drive Alne 57% The main travel crridrs in Bremertn are mstly radways with sidewalks, but als include sme trails and bus rutes. The dwntwn prtin f Bremertn, rughly between Washingtn Avenue and Warren Avenue alng 1st thrugh 6th Streets has a relatively well cnnected street grid. The nrthern and western prtins f the city are characterized by larger blcks and curvilinear streets, which can make direct cnnectins mre difficult. This plan classifies Bremertn s radways int majr arterials, minr arterials, cllectrs, and lcal streets, as shwn in Table 1 and displayed in Figure 3. Classificatins fr Washingtn State are defined and apprved by the Federal Highway Administratin (FHWA). There have been n changes in the radway classificatins since the previus plan, hwever changes t Bremertn s functinal classificatin are being cnsidered as part f this update. T Appendix 10

11 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Table 1: Radway Classificatins ROADWAY TYPE Principal Arterial DESCRIPTION / PURPOSE Principal arterials serve reginal thrugh trips and cnnect Bremertn with the rest f the regin. These facilities are the fcus f using technlgy t enhance and preserve capacity fr mving vehicles and freight. Increasingly, principal arterials are used by pedestrians due t the direct cnnectins they prvide. Hwever, in Bremertn, pedestrian facilities n principal arterials are generally utdated. EXAMPLE Burwell Street 11th Street Minr Arterial Minr arterials are designed fr higher vlumes, but tend nt t be majr reginal travel ways. Minr arterial streets prvide inter neighbrhd cnnectins. Similarly, technlgy t enhance and preserve capacity are a fcus. These crridrs culd be the fcus f targeted bicycle and pedestrian imprvements. Naval Avenue 6th Street Cllectrs Majr Cllectrs distribute trips between lcal streets and arterials and serve as transitin radways t r frm cmmercial and residential areas. These are streets shuld be designed t maintain vehicular mbility at lwer speeds t imprve safety fr mtrists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. High Avenue Park Avenue Lcal Streets These streets als distribute trips between lcal streets and arterials and serve as transitin radways t r frm cmmercial and residential areas. Minr Cllectrs have lw vlumes and can include select traffic calming elements t balance experience fr all mdes, while als prviding vehicular mbility. Pleasant Avenue Marin Avenue T Appendix 11

13 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Existing Pedestrian Facilities Residents and visitrs in Bremertn walk as a part f their daily travel fr many reasns. Children attending schl, cmmuters taking the bus r cnnecting with a carpl t get t wrk, senir citizens making midday trips, r residents walking their pets all require safe pedestrian amenities. Sidewalks, crsswalks, and curb ramps are all key features in creating a safe and welcming envirnment fr peple t walk. Buffers between sidewalks and lanes f traffic, such as landscaping r n street parking, can als prvide sme relief frm traffic fr pedestrians. Figure 4 shws examples f Bremertn s existing pedestrian sidewalks and amenities. The presence and cnditins f sidewalks vary cnsiderably thrughut Bremertn. Sidewalks are generally available alng all arterials, streets within the central business district, and in newer subdivisins. Hwever, many lder parts f the cmmunity and recently annexed areas have incmplete r lder sidewalks. Sidewalk cverage and quality is als incnsistent near high pririty pedestrian areas such as schls and majr emplyers, which create challenges fr children walking t schl and residents cmmuting t wrk by ft r transit. feet wide and create majr challenges fr pedestrians in wheelchairs, pedestrians pushing strllers, and ther users t pass each ther within the sidewalk. In additin, there are currently n bike facilities n the bridge making it difficult fr bicyclists t use the radway, as vehicle travel typically exceeds speeds f 45 mph. Retrfitting and develping missing links in Bremertn s sidewalk netwrk will prmte a mre walkable envirnment in Bremertn and cntribute t mre trips made by walking. The ability f facilities t meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements is imprtant t the City. The City is undertaking an inventry f existing barriers t ADA mbility and access, which will be used as part f the ADA Transitin Plan. Figure 4: Examples f Existing Pedestrian Facilities In additin, critical links such as the Warren Avenue Bridge, are in need f sidewalk and ADA imprvements. Withut imprved sidewalk cnditins n the Warren Avenue Bridge it is difficult fr residents t cnnect t key destinatins such as Olympic Cllege and East Bremertn healthcare facilities. Currently, bth sidewalks alng the bridge are less than fur T Appendix 13

14 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Existing Bicycle Facilities Bicycle facilities are an imprtant element in the transprtatin netwrk. Currently, bicycle facilities are limited t shared lane use markings and bicycle lanes n Kitsap Way, Wheatn Way, Charlestn Bulevard, and Aut Center Way, as well as shared use paths and trails within city parks. Existing gaps in the bicycle netwrk create high stress envirnments in which bicyclists must navigate thrugh vehicle traffic r difficult arterial crssings t cmplete their jurney. Figure 5: Examples f Existing Bicycle Facilities Figure 5 shws examples f Bremertn s bicycle facilities including newly cnstructed bike lanes n Lwer Wheatn Way (tp) and share the rad signage n Tracytn Beach Rad (bttm). Bremertn is actively wrking t imprve cnditins fr bicyclists. The City recently cmpleted several bicycle prjects including the installatin f sharrws n Kitsap Way between Callw Avenue and SR 3, bicycle lanes n Wheatn Way between the Manette Bridge and Leb Bulevard, traffic calming enhancements alng Washingtn Avenue, and bicycle lanes n Pacific Avenue between 5 th Street and the Manette Bridge. The cmmunity has identified a need fr an intercnnected bicycle netwrk with welldefined east west and nrth suth bicycle rutes as a majr pririty. Withut adequate bicycle facilities, residents and cmmuters face challenges navigating the City s street netwrk. Figure 6 shws existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities within Bremertn.

16 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Kayaking Waterfrnt cmmunities, such as Bremertn, have a unique pprtunity t prvide a variety f water based transprtatin ptins. Althugh predminantly used fr recreatin, water trails are a viable transprtatin ptin t cmmute t wrk and ther key destinatins. Figure 7: Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails Map The Kitsap Peninsula has mre than 300 miles f shreline, making it the secnd lngest castline in Washingtn State. The peninsula is spanned by the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail, as well as the Natinal Water Trails System and the Washingtn Water Trails Cascadia Marine Trail, which reaches frm Olympia t the Canadian Brder. The peninsula cnnects t many kayak launch pints, and has the ptential t link t pedestrian and land based transit systems thrughut Bremertn and surrunding areas. Figure 7 shws a map f existing water trails in the Kitsap Peninsula. T Appendix 16

17 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Public Transit Public transit serves as a key cmpnent f the transprtatin netwrk that cnnects residents with emplyment centers, public places and reginal destinatins. Many Bremertn residents and emplyees use public transit fr trips within and utside f the City. Public transit in Bremertn cnsists f fixed rute bus and ferry service prvided by Kitsap Transit, Masn Transit, and Washingtn State Ferries. Figure 8 n the fllwing page highlights the rute cverage f fixed rute bus and ferry service in Bremertn. Kitsap Transit prvides lcal, limited, and shuttle bus transit service. The majrity f transit riders access Kitsap Transit service by walking t transit frm their hme r by driving t a parking lt r n street parking and then walking t cnnect t transit. Furteen bus rutes serve Bremertn with frequencies ranging frm 20 t 60 minutes. The Bremertn Center prvides access t seven f the lcal bus rutes. Additinally, Masn Transit perates ne bus rute frm the Bremertn Center t the City f Belfair. Currently, n Kitsap Transit rutes serve PSIC Bremertn. Kitsap Transit, Masn Transit, and the Washingtn State Ferries serve the Bremertn Ferry Terminal. Kitsap Transit prvides passenger ferry service t Prt Orchard and Annaplis, every half hur, six days a week. In 2013, ft ferry ridership accunted fr 450,732 f Kitsap Transit s ttal bardings 4. The Washingtn State Ferries prvides passenger and vehicular ferry service t Bremertn via the Bremertn Seattle ferry, between 5 am t midnight. There are 15 daily ferries t Bremertn, departing every 60 t 120 minutes. Between 2013 and 2014, ridership between Bremertn and Seattle grew by apprximately 10 percent, serving ver 2.5 millin passengers. 4 uplads/pdf/bard/annualreprt2013.pdf T Appendix 17

19 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Active Analysis Active transprtatin is any human pwered mde f transprtatin, such as walking and biking. Figure 9 displays areas that are attractive fr active transprtatin in Bremertn. A descriptin f the active transprtatin analysis prcess is prvided belw. Tl. T frecast areas that have higher levels f active transprtatin, several indices f walking and bicycling demand were evaluated. Each index was chsen based n its relatinship between the built envirnment and travel patterns. A cmpsite scre was then calculated t determine the relative attractiveness f ne area ver anther fr active transprtatin. Estimating Active. T estimate walking and biking demand in Bremertn, eight indices were evaluated: Prximity t attractins Prximity t schls Prximity t parks Prximity t transit Ppulatin density Emplyment density Diversity f land use Age (8 80) Each index was weighted based n the strength f its relatinship with walking and biking, and measured at the census blck level using spatial analysis sftware. Each census blck was then assigned a cmpsite scre based n hw accessible r attractive it was fr walking and biking. Analyzing the Results. Bremertn s walking and bicycling results indicate that many streets near Dwntwn Bremertn are especially attractive fr walking and biking uses. Vital streets that serve as a link t a variety f uses and destinatins scred highly, including Burwell Street, 6th Street, and Warren Avenue. This plan uses these findings as a resurce t evaluate bicycle and pedestrian imprvements alng desire crridrs. T Appendix 19

21 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Freight and Aviatin Freight mvement in Bremertn ccurs primarily via the State Rutes (SR) that serve the City. SR 3, SR 304, and SR 310 are identified as WSDOT Highways f Statewide Significance. SR 3 is a grade separated freeway that travels thrugh West Bremertn and is classified by WSDOT as a T 1 Freight Crridr. SR 304, classified as a T 3 Freight Crridr, cnnects Bremertn with the Bremertn Ferry Terminal t the east and SR 3 t the west, prviding access t PSIC Bremertn and ther industrial uses suth f Bremertn. SR 310, anther T 3 crridr, is a principal arterial that serves as an east west distributr f freight traffic within the City. In additin, bth SR 303 and Natinal Ave serve as nrth suth city designated truck rutes. The WSDOT freight crridrs that serve Bremertn alng with additinal truck rutes designated by the City are shwn in Figure 10. In additin t highways and city truck rutes, railrads and air facilities are key elements in freight distributin. The Bremertn Natinal Airprt handles a variety f imprts and exprts. Because PSIC Bremertn is a Free Trade Zne, cmpanies have the ptin f aviding certain duties and fees if they imprt parts int Washingtn and d their final assembly there. The Bremertn Natinal Airprt, in cnjunctin with the freight railrad crridr that parallels the west side f SR 3, prvides the pprtunity t serve these industrial uses and prmte the mvement f materials and finished gds. Cnsistent with FAA and WSDOT guidance, the PSIC Subarea Plan utlines plicies that ensure future land uses and develpment are cmpatible with Bremertn Natinal Airprt and the industrial character f the PSIC Bremertn.

23 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Mtr Vehicles With many Bremertn residents chsing mtr vehicles as their primary mde f transprtatin, the City s street and radway netwrk is critical t the transprtatin system. Increased grwth within the regin has led t mre traffic cngestin alng the State Rutes and Bremertn s main crridrs. An analysis f intersectins within the city limits was perfrmed t assess existing traffic peratins and the need fr future radway imprvements. Given the extensive nature f previus studies, such as the PSIC Bremertn Subarea Plan 5 and the SR 3/SR 304 Bremertn Interchange Imprvements Study, which invlved detailed LOS analysis and identified a range f prjects needed t supprt Bremertn s transprtatin system, 14 intersectins were selected due t their lcatin n critical crridrs within the City. Prjects identified in previus studies are included in the final 20 year prject list n page 44. Figure 11 n the fllwing page summarizes the intersectin LOS analysis. Detailed reprts f LOS are available in the Technical Analysis. Table 2: Level f Service Definitins LOS A B C DESCRIPTION Free flwing cnditins. Stable perating cnditins. Stable perating cnditins, but individual mtrists are affected by the interactin with ther mtrists. Fr this analysis, intersectins were assigned a level f service (LOS) grade based n their peratins in terms f vehicle delay. Table 2 describes the Level f Service definitins laid ut in Chapter 16 f the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) ( Research Bard, 2010), which is the methdlgy used fr mst f the intersectins within the study. In a few lcatins, HCM 2000 was used due t limitatins in applying the HCM 2010 methdlgy. D E F High density f mtrists, but stable flw. Near capacity peratins, with significant delay and lw speeds.

25 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends The City s level f service (LOS) plicy aims t develp a transprtatin system that achieves a level f service (LOS) that balances multimdal needs and mbility. The City will maintain a LOS E r better (V/C less than r equal t 1.0) thrughut the City; except alng SR 310, which is a Highway f Statewide Significance (HSS) rute. All intersectins analyzed meet the City s current level f service (LOS) standards. Hwever, the fllwing intersectins are clse t exceeding the acceptable maximum vehicle delay f the standards: Warren Avenue (SR 303) and 6th Street (LOS D appraching LOS E) Warren Avenue (SR 303) and 11th Street (LOS D appraching LOS E) These intersectins are lcated alng key eastwest and nrth suth crridrs. SR 303 is a three t fur lane principal arterial rad, which extends frm Burwell Street (SR 304) in Bremertn t Waaga Way (SR 3/SR 303) at its nrthern terminus in Silverdale. Opprtunities and Challenges The City f Bremertn has several imprtant challenges t face as it prepares fr future grwth and the develpment f its dwntwn cre, city centers, and PSIC Bremertn. Mtr vehicle travel dminates the City s transprtatin framewrk and cntributes t cngestin in Bremertn, especially during peak cmmute hurs. Bremertn is wrking t create a mre vibrant cmmunity that prmtes an integrated multimdal transprtatin system, which will be key t addressing the transprtatin challenges within the city. Netwrk Cnnectivity The Bremertn Center and Ferry Terminal serve as a majr transprtatin hub fr Kitsap Cunty. With clse access t Seattle, many reginal cmmuters travel thrugh Bremertn t access the ferry. Bremertn is als hme t the largest emplyer in Kitsap Cunty, Naval Base Kitsap (NBK Bremertn). NBK Bremertn places significant demands n SR 304 and surrunding radways, especially during afternn shift changes. Due t Dwntwn Bremertn s status as majr center fr cmmuters, the lcal transprtatin netwrk experiences significant traffic surges in driving, walking, biking, and transit during peak hurs. Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Bremertn dwntwn has a relatively cmplete netwrk f sidewalks, hwever high pedestrian activity areas such as schls and shpping areas have gaps in the sidewalk and pedestrian facilities. This limits mbility and accessibility f sme pedestrians between majr destinatins. Additinally, the city has a bicycle netwrk that is limited t a small number f shared use trails, n street facilities, and disjinted marked bicycle rutes. These gaps in infrastructure, alng with a tpgraphy that includes many hills, create travel challenges fr pedestrians and bicyclists. Transit Access and Availability Kitsap Transit prvides lcal, limited, and shuttle bus transit service n infrequent service schedules. This limits transit dependent riders accessibility, and it causes ptential transit users t chse driving persnal vehicles. In additin t fixed rute and shuttle services, T Appendix 25

26 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Kitsap Transit ffers a wrker/driver bus prgram, which functins similarly t a large carpl. This prgram has seen success in reducing the number f drive alne cmmute trips within Bremertn at NBK Bremertn. The City shuld cntinue t lk fr ways t encurage enhanced transit service frm Kitsap Transit thrugh investments in prjects that cmpliment transprtatin demand management prgrams such as the wrker/driver bus, as well as transit supprtive amenities t help residents, emplyees, and visitr s access and use transit. Puget Sund Industrial Center (PSIC) Accrding t the PSIC Subarea Plan (frmerly knwn as the SKIA Subarea Plan), 12 miles f trails are planned within the develpment area. It is anticipated that new radways wuld have sidewalks n at least ne side f the crridr. At this time, there are n ther planned r funded transit, pedestrian, r bicycle imprvements anticipated within PSIC Bremertn. As PSIC Bremertn develps as an attractive jb center and emplyment grws, it is pssible Masn Transit r Kitsap Transit will prvide bus service. Ferry Service Access and Availability Bth Kitsap Transit and Washingtn State Ferries serve the Bremertn Ferry Terminal. Ferry service in Bremertn serves thusands f weekly cmmuters. During peak hurs, the Ferry Terminal experiences significant surges in vehicle, walking, and bicycling traffic. Imprving bicycle and pedestrian cnnectins t the Ferry Terminal can help t further alleviate cngestin in the dwntwn area. Reginal Grwth Reginal develpment utside f Bremertn will play a majr rle in the grwing demands n the City s transprtatin netwrk by Kitsap Cunty is expected t cntinue adding residents and jbs during this time perid. This grwth will add traffic t Bremertn s streets, and the City must make a cncerted effrt t accmmdate its wn grwth, while crdinating with its partners utside the city n reginal needs. T Appendix 26

27 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Safe Rutes fr All, Especially Pedestrians and Bicycles Since 2010, Bremertn has experienced nearly 700 traffic cllisins per year. Figure 12 display traffic crashes arund the City ver a five year perid spanning Figure 13 shws the severity f accidents by lcatin. Figure 14 displays bicycle and pedestrian crashes. As an effrt t increase pedestrian safety, Bremertn has undertaken sidewalk and crsswalk imprvement prjects t create a better envirnment fr pedestrians mving arund dwntwn, rutes t schls, and key crridrs. Crridrs with a high number f cllisins invlving pedestrians and bicyclists include Warren Avenue, Burwell Street, and 6th Street. There were fur vehicle related fatalities; tw n SR 3, ne n Wheatn Way, and ne n Schley Blvd; and ne pedestrian fatality n SR 30. T Appendix 27

31 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Dwntwn Circulatin Bremertn s dwntwn circulatin pattern is a mixed netwrk f ne way and tw way streets that face unique gegraphic and traffic demands. The dwntwn cre is the primary area f cngestin fr Bremertn. Much f the cmmunity recgnizes that Bremertn s cngestin is greatest between 4:00 pm and 4:45 pm. During this time, many wrkers are released frm wrk, including apprximately 20,000 civilians and active duty persnnel wh wrk fr Navy Cmmands lcated n NBK Bremertn. This is apprximately 5,000 peple less than the 2014 Seattle Mariners average attendance. This results in a rush f vehicles departing frm dwntwn parking garages, bus trips departing frm the Bremertn Center, and ferry trips arriving/departing t Seattle, Prt Orchard and Annaplis. As a result, daily vehicle traffic backs up quickly n Burwell Street, 6th Street, 11th Street and Warren Avenue. Between fixed rute buses and ferries cnnecting at the Bremertn Center, t the release f majr emplyment centers during peak hurs, Dwntwn Bremertn experiences significant multimdal traffic cngestin. Adding t the cngestin is limited east west and nrth suth arterials that create chkepints, such as the Warren Avenue and Manette Bridge. Sme key elements t be recgnized fr dwntwn circulatin include the fllwing. Naval Base Kitsap Puget Sund Naval Shipyard and IMF and many ther Navy Cmmands are lcated nbard NBK Bremertn in the urban cre f Bremertn. Due t its lcatin and psitin as a majr reginal emplyment center, Navy Emplyers n NBK Bremertn cntribute t a significant amunt f traffic cngestin. During shift changes, traffic increases n the radways surrunding the base, with the greatest number f vehicles exiting the base n weekdays arund 4:00 pm. There is a variety f transit incentives being utilized by emplyers lcated n NBK Bremertn in crdinatin with Kitsap Transit and the Washingtn State Ferries t prvide alternatives t driving t wrk. The Cmmands lcated n NBK Bremertn expect t see increased emplyment in the future, which will further stress the transprtatin system surrunding the base as well as dwntwn parking availability, as many f the emplyees wh wrk n the base currently use city wned parking garages and surface lts. Dwntwn Parking Demand Bremertn s dwntwn n street parking supply is currently available n a first cme, first serve basis, with time restrictins in sme lcatins. City wned parking areas include Harbrside Garage, Washingtn Garage, Park Plaza Garage, City Lt 95, and City Lt 98. Anticipated grwth and develpment in the central cre may necessitate mre active parking management in the future as demand fr parking increases. T Appendix 31

32 Sectin 1: Cnditins and Trends Peak Hur Transit Ridership During mrning and afternn peak hurs, the Bremertn Center and Ferry Terminal experience high numbers f passengers. The ferry service alne experiences ver 10,000 bardings weekly n Kitsap Transit ft ferries t Annaplis and Prt Orchard, and ver 28,000 weekly bardings between Bremertn and Seattle. T Appendix 32

33 Sectin 2: Cmmunity Outreach Cmmunity Outreach Cmmunity input regarding the future f transprtatin in Bremertn was cllected at a public meeting and stakehlder wrkshp. Cmmunity members and stakehlder grups were asked t answer questins regarding the future f Bremertn s transprtatin in regards t priritizing prjects and funding, as well as identifying pririty netwrk rutes and prjects fr all mdes. Participants shwed a desire fr multimdal investments, imprved netwrk cnnectivity, and enhanced safety in Bremertn. Stakehlder Meeting On July 28th, 2015 a stakehlder wrkshp was cnducted with the City f Bremertn and key stakehlders. The purpse f the meeting was t examine the transprtatin needs f Bremertn and identify bth transprtatin challenges and pprtunities fr imprvement. Stakehlder feedback, in regards t the mst needed and visinary prjects fr Bremertn, can be seen in Table 3. Table 3: Stakehlder Input WHAT IS THE MOST NEEDED PROJECT IN BREMERTON?

34 Sectin 2: Cmmunity Outreach Public Meeting Nearly 200 cmments were received at the public meeting. Cmmunity members prvided input n what impacts hw peple travel in Bremertn tday and what transprtatin prjects shuld be the highest pririty fr funding. Respndents shwed a desire fr multimdal investments t reduce cngestin, enhance safety and imprve netwrk cnnectivity. It is imprtant t nte that the cmments cllected likely underrepresent reginal cmmuters, as the majrity f respndents were lcal residents. In additin, the meeting was heavily attended the bicycle cmmunity, which may have ver represented Bremertn residents bicycle interests and pririties. Apprximately 60 percent f the issues affecting residents travel tday invlved safety (23%) and the lack f pedestrian (22%) and bicycle (15%) facilities, as seen in Figure 15. Figure 16 utlines which prjects were identified as the highest pririty fr funding the tp tier prjects included: Build mre sidewalks and crsswalks, imprve existing crsswalks Make rutes fr bikes n quiet streets (greenways) Prvide bike lanes n arterial streets Replace and repair lder infrastructure Figure 15: Greatest Impacts t Travel Safety 4% 11% 15% 4% Other 1% Parking 15% Ferry service 14% Traffic cngestin Lack f sidewalks 23% 2% Lack f bicycle facilities 22% Radway maintenance Inadequate Bus Service High speed and traffic in neighbrhds Figure 16: Pririties fr Funding T Appendix 34

35 Sectin 3: Future Visin Bremertn envisins a future transprtatin system that serves all users and mdes f travel by ffering a safe and rbust netwrk f walkways, bicycle facilities, intersectins, and radways. This sectin describes Bremertn s visin fr its future transprtatin netwrk and the infrastructure imprvements that will get the City there. As a part f the Cmprehensive Plan update, the City is planning fr expected grwth in husing units and emplyment ver the next 20 years thrugh Based n grwth estimates frm the Puget Sund Reginal Cuncil (PSRC) and review by City staff, Bremertn is preparing fr 8,050 new husing units and 20,244 new wrkers by 2036 within the city limits and urban grwth area. This translates int a ppulatin grwth f apprximately 1.5 percent annually. nt desirable frm a user r a planning perspective. In respnse t this challenge, the City f Bremertn has adpted a layered netwrk apprach that fcuses n hw the City s transprtatin netwrk can functin as a system t meet the needs f all users. In such a system, individual travel mdes are priritized n different facilities thrughut the verall netwrk. Figure 17 illustrates the cncept f a layered netwrk. The City will implement this layered netwrk thrugh a system f radway typlgies that define each street s user pririties and assciated infrastructure needs. Figure 17: Layered Netwrk Cncept As identified in this plan, mst f the imprvements are fcused n the develpment f a layered transprtatin netwrk, which fcuses less n prviding vehicular capacity and mre n accmmdating all mdes f travel. While sme f the radway imprvements are needed t meet the City s vehicular level f service (LOS) standard, many f the future imprvements fcus n prviding safer and mre cmplete facilities fr walking, bicycling, and riding transit in rder t imprve access and mbility fr all rad users. Intrductin t the Layered Netwrk It can be a challenge fr a single radway t meet the demands and expectatins f all mdes at any given time. This is als generally T Appendix 35

36 Sectin 3: Future Visin Mdal Netwrks Streets in Bremertn serve different travel purpses, and the mdal netwrks therefre priritize a different balance f users n each crridr. Determining hw the entire transprtatin netwrk fits tgether in Bremertn requires identifying desirable streets fr each mde, cmbining them t lcate verlaps, and then assigning pririty t certain mdes. The fllwing sectins review the pririty netwrks fr each mde and establish their level f service standards. Pedestrian While Bremertn s lcal streets tend nt t need fully separate sidewalks r paths due t their lw traffic vlumes and slw speeds, the City s arterials and cmmercial cllectrs d warrant pedestrian infrastructure. Dense areas with cmmercial land uses and streets that serve schls, parks, and churches are particularly imprtant fr safe walking, as they supprt mre pedestrians and may have a larger prtin f vulnerable users than ther streets. The highest level f accmmdatin fr walking, indicated in the green rw, wuld prvide sidewalks n bth sides f the rad as shwn in the Pedestrian Pririty Netwrk. The yellw level f accmmdatin wuld make strng prgress in building ut the Pedestrian Pririty Netwrk by filling sidewalks gaps arund the City in lcatins nearby pedestrian generatrs, such as retail, schls and parks. Incmplete r missing pedestrian facilities wuld fall int the red categry and nt satisfy the City s gals fr accmmdating pedestrians. Table 4: Pedestrian Accmmdatin Sidewalk Prvisin WITHIN PEDESTRIAN PRIORITY NETWORK Sidewalk prvided n bth sides f the rad* Sidewalk r wide shulder prvided n ne side f the rad N pedestrian facility prvided Figure 18 highlights the Pedestrian Pririty Netwrk, which specifies where pedestrian infrastructure shuld be prvided in the lng term. Building n the Pedestrian Pririty Netwrk, Table 4 establishes guidance in terms f the level f accmmdatin that the City wishes t prvide fr pedestrians arund the City. T Appendix 36

37 Sectin 3: Future Visin Bicycling Bremertn s existing bicycle netwrk cnsists f bike lanes, shared use markings and a number f trails and shared use pathways. Bicyclists face many challenges cnnecting t existing facilities and traveling crsstwn due t limited bicycle facilities, pr pavement cnditins, and feelings f unease n the majrity f the cnnecting rads. Key mbility crridrs fr bicyclists, such as Naval Avenue and Leb Bulevard wuld be best served with n street bike lanes, while bike bulevards and shared use paths wuld suffice n streets such as 4th and 5th Avenues.

The City f Bremertn can strive fr the green level f accmmdatin fr bicycling by installing the bicycle facilities depicted in the Bicycle Pririty Netwrk r a facility that ffers greater separatin frm vehicle traffic. At a minimum, the City shuld make meaningful prgress tward cnstructing this netwrk by building sme initial nrth suth and east west spines. Incmplete r missing bicycle facilities d nt meet the City s desired level f accmmdatin fr bicycling, as described in Table 5. T Appendix 37

40 Sectin 3: Future Visin Transit Transit peratins are ut f the City s direct cntrl, but Bremertn can still aim t create crridrs that are welcming t transit. The City will cntinue t wrk with transit agencies t enhance transit use by ffering street lighting, safe rutes fr accessing transit stps, and ther passenger amenities. Bremertn s level f transit accmmdatin is based n the amenity prvisin guidelines established by transit agencies serving Bremertn. The City can reach the highest level f accmmdatin (green) by prviding the level f transit supprtive amenities recmmended including sidewalks, and marked crsswalks at all stps, as well as ther supprtive amenities, t supprt mre frequent service. Bremertn s measurement f transit accmmdatin is summarized in Table 6. REGIONAL TRANSIT COORDINATION One f the City s tp pririty in this plan is effective crdinatin with reginal players t ensure that the lcal and reginal transprtatin systems cmplement ne anther. A key element f this will be partnering with Kitsap Transit, Masn Transit, and Washingtn State Ferries t prvide lcal transit alternatives fr getting acrss twn. The ptential increase in Kitsap Transit service ffers a majr pprtunity t explre hw the transit statin can be better integrated with the City s multimdal transprtatin system and increase demand fr lcal transit services. Table 6: Transit Accmmdatin Stp Amenities and Pedestrian Access TRANSIT STOP AMENITIES Mre than 80% f transit stps meet amenity minimum prvisins Mre than 60% f transit stps meet amenity minimum prvisins Less than 60% f transit stps meet amenity minimum prvisins T Appendix 40

41 Sectin 3: Future Visin Freight and Aut Residents and wrkers in Bremertn use nearly every street in the radway netwrk at sme pint each day t access their hmes, jbs, and ther destinatins. Many f these streets are lcal streets, hwever, and d nt see significant traffic vlumes thrughut the day. Similarly, gds mvement and delivery vehicles use sme crridrs frequently while ther streets see nly the ccasinal lcal delivery. Figure 3 (page 12) calls ut the functinal classificatin f each f Bremertn s streets, in terms f whether it is an arterial, cllectr, r lcal street. These classes indicate the level f pririty f each street fr autmbiles, specifically in terms f facilitating vehicle and freight mbility as well as ther mdes. Bremertn s transprtatin netwrk is cnstantly evlving alng with the character f its radways. As part f this update, changes t Bremertn s functinal classificatin are being cnsidered fr radways such as Sherman Heights Rad, Charlestn Beach Rad, Cherry Avenue, and thers. The functinal classificatin and freight class f a street shuld guide future investments in streetscape and LOS bjectives. Given the lw grwth rates fr husehld and emplyment prjected fr Bremertn, future frecast delay at intersectins differ little than frm tday. Of the 14 intersectins analyzed as part f this update, all intersectins (existing and future) meet the City s LOS standards. Als, the grwth anticipated n state wned facilities is driven by reginal grwth, as well as grwth anticipated within the City. T address this, the City s netwrk has capacity t absrb sme grwth. Delays n parts f the City s netwrk are a result f backups n the reginal netwrk, rather than lcal level capacity cnstraints. The Technical Analysis f this Appendix summarizes existing and future frecast delay at intersectins in the City. The capital list prvided in next sectin includes future radway prjects that wuld maintain the City s intersectin LOS standard thrugh Figure 10 (page 22) specifies the WSDOT freight classificatin f Bremertn s majr streets that supprt gds mvement. These classificatins indicate the annual weight f gds that travel a crridr, whether via large trailer lads r smaller delivery vehicles. T Appendix 41

42 Sectin 3: Future Visin Mde split targets Fr its reginal grwth centers (RGCs), the City f Bremertn is required t develp mde split targets that align with the plicy gals f planning these areas t be mre cmpact and accessible fr walking, biking, and transit mdes. The fllwing table prvides existing and envisined future mde split targets fr cmmute trips within Bremertn s Dwntwn Reginal Grwth Center and the Puget Sund Industrial Center (PSIC), which is a Reginal Manufacturing/Industrial Center. These increased nn SOV mde shares reflect the City s gal f accmmdating travel by all mdes and priritizing transprtatin investments within the reginal grwth centers (RGCs). These mde share gals als infrmed the travel mdeling perfrmed fr this plan t ensure that transprtatin infrastructure investments align with frecasted travel demand. The 2010 mde share estimates cme frm Puget Sund Reginal Cuncil s (PSRC s) reginal travel survey. The future mde share estimates fr each center were develped based n natinal travel survey, which shw hw nn SOV mde share can increase when a greater mix f uses, imprved infrastructure fr walking and biking, and prximate transit are prvided.

43 Sectin 4: Prjects This sectin presents the capital and radway maintenance prjects that frms the basis f this Plan. The verall capital plans were develped t create a transprtatin system that realizes Bremertn s ultimate transprtatin visin: t prmte, manage, and maintain a safe, efficient, and integrated multi mdal transprtatin system t supprt a healthy and vibrant cmmunity. T1: Prmte and develp transprtatin systems that stimulate, supprt, and enhance the mvement f peple and gds t ensure a prsperus ecnmy. T2: Acknwledge the existing built envirnment and maintain, preserve, and extend the life and utility f prir investments in transprtatin systems and services. T3: Prvide fr and imprve the safety and security f transprtatin users and the transprtatin system. T4: Enhance Bremertn's quality f life thrugh transprtatin investments that prmte energy cnservatin, healthy cmmunities, aesthetics, and prtect the envirnment. T5: Cntinuusly imprve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency f the transprtatin system. With these gals in mind, as well as cmpleting the layered netwrks described in the previus sectins, the prject list was develped. Table 8 summarizes the recmmended capital prjects fr the City and PSIC Bremertn 6, as well as peratin and maintenance needs fr the next twenty years. These prjects represent a balance f safety, maintenance, and peratinal imprvements fr all mdes.
