The new Puget Sound to Pacific Collaborative is bringing communities together to plan and build a 200-mile multi-use trail from the ferry docks on Bainbridge Island, Kingston and Port Townsend to the Pacific Coast at La Push.
A new Kubota mini-excavator for trail building and maintenance has been bought by Bainbridge Island Metro Parks &Recreation District, supported by a $25,000 grant from the BI Parks &Trails Foundation.
The city is planning to reduce speed limits on Bainbridge Island. The biggest change will be cutting speed limits from 35 miles per hour to 30 mph on about 12 percent of the arterials and collectors. Overall, 82 percent of these roads will have limits of 30 mph or 25 mph. The purpose is to reduce the risk of injuries to non-motorized users.
