Separated bicycle, pedestrian and driving lanes improve safety for all modes of transportation.The City secured $2 million in grant funding from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Wider sidewalks, new bike lanes and other non-motorized improvements will ensure continued safety and accessibility to and from the ferry. The City of Bainbridge Island designed a project along Olympic Drive, from Harborview Drive to Winslow Way, to improve safety for all users - people who walk, bike and drive. Olympic Drive is one of the busiest roads on Bainbridge Island - it's how most people travel to and from the ferry. Select 'Olympic Drive NM Improvements” from the list. Please encourage your neighbors and fellow commuters to sign up for project notifications via ' Notify Me' to receive project updates. Project notifications will be sent through the city's Notify Me listserv. It’s important for all users to understand the changes to keep everyone safe on the road!

We hope you’ve had a chance to review an animated video of the improvements on the project webpage. The new center bicycle lane (heading north from the ferry) and the southbound bicycle lane will remain closed until completion of the project. During the railing installation, the west side sidewalk will be closed as well as one-lane with flaggers.īoth sidewalks on Olympic Drive are open for pedestrians. The final tasks include completion of pavement markings, installation of a railing along the west side of Olympic Drive, and installation of a push button bicycle signal in the southbound bicycle lane. November 19: Crews will resume work on Monday, December 2nd and the City anticipates project completion by year-end, weather permitting.
