Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway

• Right-of-Way work to be completed on April 15, 2024.
• October 6, 2020, Press Release: Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway Project Moves One Step Closer to Fruition

Project Information

The City of Port Orchard is constructing a new 1.0 mile long multi-purpose path/trail, broken into 11 segments beginning at the downtown  Port Orchard ferry facility and ending at the Annapolis ferry facility. The completed multi-purpose trail will become a part of the Mosquito Fleet Trail.

This portion of the Mosquito Fleet Trail along Bay Street, also known as the Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway, will be a significant segment of the off-road link in the Mosquito Fleet Trail, which eventually will connect Kingston to Southworth along the eastern shore of Kitsap County. It will also provide a much needed recreational facility within downtown Port Orchard, and a safe alternative transportation mode for its citizens and workforce. Users are expected to include lunchtime walkers, bicycle commuters, families with children, and recreational cyclists on both organized and independent tours. The trail is also likely to experience heavy multiple use during special events organized and hosted by the City of Port Orchard.

Proposed Pathway Section Update

Current Project Status

The project is currently 95% design complete. The City is currently in the midst of the right-of-way phase for Segment 1 and Segments 6-11.  Upon completion of the right-of-way phase, the design will incorporate any needed modifications and will be 100% design complete.

Segments 2 through 5 of the pathway have been completed. Construction for Segment 1 and Segments 6 through 11 is anticipated for 2023.
