SR305/Johnson Parkway Project Update

The intermittent rain breaks have allowed for some exciting progress. The non-motorized tunnel is close to completion and will have lighting and security camera installation coming soon. Progress on the construction of the adjacent stormwater pond continues daily. Paving of the shared use path along Johnson Parkway is nearly complete. Final paving of Johnson Parkway was completed at the end of June. The compact roundabout on upper Johnson Parkway is close to completion. Sidewalk construction on Johnson Parkway is complete and permanent lighting installation is ongoing. Landscaping and irrigation are being installed throughout the project. The new T-intersection at Johnson Parkway and Noll Road is paved and close to completion. Bjorgen Creek Stream Restoration and Fish Passage Improvement is complete, which included extensive landscaping mitigation.

Present work focuses on the SR305 roundabout and involves a traffic shift on SR305. Traffic is shifting into a single lane roundabout configuration utilizing traffic cones and striping while the center and splitter islands are constructed. Final paving of SR305 is anticipated near the end of July. Speed limit has been reduced to 25mph and 20mph within the roundabout.

During the traffic shift, the areas shown in gray will be under construction with occasional trucks entering or leaving the construction areas. As a safety reminder, please continue to drive the posted speed limit within the construction zone.

Administration Office Relocation

Public Works has some exciting news! Our Administration office has finally moved out of the old Quonset hut on Iverson, and into what was previously the Poulsbo Nazarene Church at 22097 Viking Ave NE. Our crews have been remodeling this over the last year and our staff has done a wonderful job! As with any move, we are still unpacking but Public Works is open weekdays between 7:00am and 4:30pm. Our phone number is still 360-779-4078.



The crew now has a real lunchroom, locker room, and conference areas. So greatly appreciated!

Katlin will be at the front desk if you have any questions or need assistance, or better yet, come in and say hello!

This is Phase 2A of moving Public Works to Viking Avenue. Phase 2B entails building shops and equipment storage buildings on the adjacent Transfer Station property. As soon as that is completed, all Public Works will be located in the same area!

Oyster Plant Park Beach Cleanup

On June 16^th, some of our staff and seasonal employees took time to clean up the beach at Oyster Plant Park on Fjord. During the historical low tide, crews were able to remove dangerous line and old oyster bags. All oyster holding bags were emptied and wildlife left to continue.

We hope you've enjoyed these photos of the cleanup. Kudos to all who helped!!!
