POULSBO COMPLETE STREETS PLAN
The City of Poulsbo embarked on developing a Complete Streets Plan in Winter 2023. The Complete Streets Plan develops policies and practices that ensure the streets are safe for people of all ages and abilities, improve safety and connectivity, reduce congestion, and enhance the City’s streetscape for all users.

The plan addresses topics related to walking, biking, accessibility, parking, transit, and streetscape improvements by identifying:
- Conceptual street design recommendations
- City projects and actions to invest in over time
- Costs and priorities for development and implementation
- Complete streets supportive policies
The Complete Streets Plan prioritizes planning efforts based on goals and objectives shaped by the community. A Community Stakeholder Committee has been established to inform and assist City staff and consultants with the planning.
