SR-104 Holding Lanes / ATMS 

Ferry traffic congestion has been a challenge for many years. A partnership between five agencies and multiple community groups came together in 2019 to conduct a study into developing some solutions to these traffic challenges. With the support of Kitsap County Commissioner Christine Rolfes, the agencies received a $500K grant through WSDOT for the study.  This study resulted in a 30% design of a potential solution to help address traffic congestion along SR104 in Kingston.

This study incorporated three components that have now melded into one project:

• SR104 Ferry Holding Lot (at the NW corner of Lindvog and SR104)

• SR104 Active Traffic Management System (ATMS) which serves to issue ticket to vehicles during peak periods)

• SR104 Realignment (which shifts the eastbound vehicle traffic from Main Street to First Street establishing a two way (entry/egress) for all vehicular traffic

WSDOT, Kitsap County, WSF, Port of Kingston and Kitsap Transit are working together with Kingston Community Advisory Committee and other community groups and individuals to design and engineer a system that is right sized and improves traffic and sets a course for near- and long-term improvements for people that live in and around Kingston and everyone who passes through our town.

Please convey your thoughts and concerns (and also a good word is always appreciated) to your port commissioners, Steve Heacock, Laura Gronnvoll, and Mary McClure, who work on behalf of this community and who you elected to represent your interests. They helped secure an $18.5M investment in transportation infrastructure to move this project forward.
