The public will have multiple opportunities to participate in the development of the plan, including an online survey at https://arcg.is/1zqn4a1 and public outreach events at the Chimacum Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 26 and Sept. 27.
The online survey will close July 3.
An outline of the plan will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners during a workshop at the board’s Oct. 26 meeting.
The comprehensive sfety action plan is funded through a grant from the federal Safe Streets for All program.
The City of Port Townsend is also developing a comprehensive sfety action plan within city limits, details are posted at cityofpt.us/publicworks/page/safe-streets-all-safety-action-plan.
