8th Avenue Realignment – Safety and Transit Study
OBJECTIVE AND PURPOSE
The City of Poulsbo Public Works Engineering Division desires to complete a planning study which considers options and alternatives for realigning 8th Avenue near the intersection of Lincoln Rd and Iverson St in Poulsbo. The City is seeking a Statement of Qualifications from consulting firms with experience in road layout and design.
BACKGROUND
The City of Poulsbo has received a Rural Town Centers and Corridors (RTCC) program grant to complete a standalone planning study for the “8th Ave Realignment, Safety and Transit Study” project. This project will be a partnership between the City of Poulsbo and Kitsap Transit with coordination on both street and intersection improvements and realignments. The existing 8th Avenue intersection currently operates at LOS F with long pedestrian crossing distances and has geometric constraints. The planning study will evaluate how best to improve circulation by eliminating or improving an existing intersection and evaluate options for: increasing LOS of the intersection, increasing queuing distance for SR305, improving pedestrian and non-motorized facilities, increasing safety given the number of multiple local roads and driveway intersections, and provide consideration for a high capacity transit (HCT) mobility hub in the vicinity.
See one concept alignment/layout included as Attachment A.
TIMELINE FOR SUBMITTALS
The deadline for submission of qualifications is May 4, 2026 at 2:00pm. Post marks will NOT be accepted. Proposals should be emailed to Susan Munro smunro@poulsbo.gov.
