City of Poulsbo

Poulsbo Trails Committee and the Urban Paths of Poulsbo (UPP)
The Poulsbo Trails Committee is a citizen's committee comprised of business owners, representatives of organizations, government and residents; brought together with a common vision to create a trail plan for the City of Poulsbo. With the assistance of the National Park Service - Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, the final document will expand and guide future trail development.

Vision Statement: The Poulsbo trail system embodies the community spirit that distinguishes our city, linking the places we live, learn, work and play and find inspiration. Trails reconnect us to ourselves, and lead people of all ages and abilities to greater health and self sufficiency. Our trails, like branches, support Poulsbo and reach out to connect neighbor to neighbor; land to water; people to nature; homes to businesses; city to countryside; and Poulsbo's history to our future.

 

Urban Paths of Poulsbo - draft plan     UPDATED 11/15/2011

The citizens of Poulsbo want a walkable community.  A survey of the community was completed in 2007 during the Comprehensive Plan update process. The survey indicated a strong demand for trails.  The most responses from citizens indicated an interest in an investment in a citywide trail system.  The city heard this, and made it a priority.  To begin the process of developing a 20 year trail plan, the City of Poulsbo applied for and successfully competed for a National Park Service (NPS) grant in 2008 through the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA).  This document has been developed in coordination with other planning efforts undertaken by the city. Some of these planning efforts include the Comprehensive Plan (adopted in December 2009); the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (adopted June 2006); and the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan (2009).

The final draft plan has been completed, and will be submitted to the City Council for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan.  Please click here to see the Urban Paths of Poulsbo draft plan.  The Planning Commission will see all Comprehensive Plans amendments February 28, 2012; and the City Council will review them in early April.  Any comments or ideas on the plan are still being accepted. 

The draft maps for the Urban Paths of Poulsbo are also available. Click here to see the updated overall pedestrian map (dated 11/15/2011) and bicycle map (September 2, 2011). In addition to these overall maps, we have also divided the city into three sections to get a closer look.  These section maps also have contour lines, and are in the process of being updated.
