“Getting You There”—the Foundation, Funding and Future of the County Road System
Kitsap County Public Works is presenting information about the County’s road system at a series of upcoming public meetings. Jon Brand, Kitsap County Engineer and Assistant Director for Public Works is providing a brief history of how our road system developed, describing the scope of services provided, and explaining how roads are funded. He’ll also talk about plans to meet the challenges of future cost and funding trends.
"Our current road system is a result of forward thinking, dedicated work, and a healthy revenue stream,” said Brand. “Maintaining the current level of service requires an investment in the system for the immediate future as well as for future generations.”Please join us at one of the following public meetings and be part of the conversation.

Kitsap County Public Works created a story map, “Getting You There,” exploring the history of the county road system, from the first Kitsap County road that ran from Port Gamble to Agate Pass near Port Madison on Bainbridge Island to the 915 miles that the county maintains today. The story also explains the work and costs associated with preserving, maintaining and improving the system.
