MUST be moved indoors, the constant noise is intolerable. 4000+ shots per hr is common, daily ! https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/the-gun- range-on-jacob-miller-and-gun-club-rd-must-be-moved- indoors-the-constant-noise-is-intolerable-4000-plus- shots-per-hr-is-common-daily 11/17/2016 23:17 tom sparks created community none 1 The Gunfire noise coming from the Gun Range on Gun Club Rd is intolerable. shots are often fired at the rate of 4000 rounds per hour, and this is common. The noise is constant, everyday except during heavy rains.! The landowner must be given a choice of moving the operation indoors ( commonly done, nationwide OR move the range somewhere else. The current gunrange permit must hinge on this. This noise level has risen unchecked for years....it is now well over 100 decibels and getting worst. Saturdays and Sundays are the worst....but it's bad every single day. Working outside is not an option, as you cannot even yell over the noise. Who wants to live like that. I'm certain that the same people who make this gun noise, would go through the roof if the same level of noise were present at their house 7day a week fro 9 am to 9 pM Yes that's right..9 PM....do the math..4000 shots per hour x 12 hours x 7 days a week x 52 weeks. go ahead..do the math..I'll wait. The ball is in your court....start by driving over the the turnoff into the transfer station/ or the human society gate or the firestation, and just park there for a little while on a Sunday, say. then we can talk about moving the range indoors, or elsewhere. 0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes A traffic signal at Ness's Corner https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/a-traffic- signal-at-nesss-corner 10/9/2016 3:09 Celeste Bennett created transit none 1 We've had a few nasty accidents here, and there's often a backup. A signal of some sort would be helpful (and seems inevitable.)0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes pedestrian sidewalk along Jackson Street in Port Townsend https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/pedestria n-sidewalk-along-jackson-street-in-port-townsend 9/23/2016 6:52 Lucas Hart created transit none 1 A pedestrian sidewalk along Jackson Street in Port Townsend between the Northwest Maritime Center and Jefferson Street (along Point Hudson Marina). Tourists from whale watching vessels and classes of children from the Maritime Center regularly walk this route, which is also a main route for traffic leaving or going in front of the Maritime Center. It's the only way for traffic to go out of the Maritime Center. Although it's a 5 mph speed limit, it's very dangerous for pedestrians - especially the little kids walking to sailing/boating lessons. 2 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Hi Lucas. Thank you for your comments! I would like to point out that your sidewalk suggestion is in Port Townsend, which has its own SpeakUp webpage located: http://speakuppt.us/ .

The economy and efficiency comes by having a system with one stationary motor, rather than everyone carrying around their own, and starting and stopping with all that extra mass. Once on top of a hill, say Lawrence street, the person could ride, skateboard, or otherwise coast downhill to many other points, from which they again may catch a lift, such as from Taylor going up Washington. Lifts could also be installed along County roads, but would probably get less use. This is a form of mass transit which incorporates the individual having total decision-making power over when to use it, and where to go from there, using the distributive nature of gravity. Gravity is the physical problem to overcome in any transportation system, so why not use it to our own advantage? These kinds of proposals require a community effort, and would create a community benefit. I leave it for others to create ways for individuals to contribute financially. 0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Pedestrian Friendly Corridors linking Homes to Community Resources https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/pedestria n-friendly-corridors-linking-homes-to-community- resources 9/17/2016 23:03 Celeste Bennett created community none 2 I'd like to see a pedestrian-friendly trail (similar to the Olympic Discovery Trail) go in along both Hwy 19 from the schools to Ness' Corner in Chimacum.1 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Thank you for your comment. Jefferson County Department of Public Works recognizes the need for pedestrian- bicycle facilities within the TriArea. In the recently adopted TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) the department included five related pedestrian-bicycle projects. These five projects are part of a long-term plan to create a non-motorized network that would serve the TriArea by linking Port Hadlock to Chimacum. The projects are supported not only by current needs of students and residents, but also future needs given anticipated growth within the Irondale and Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (UGA). The projects are in varying stages as our department continues to seek appropriate funding. One of the planned projects directly addresses part of your idea by creating a Zoe Lamp 9/28/2016 18:27 0 Forty-five plus years ago I felt peace when driving into the East,Center n West Valleys of Chimacum.

Smallish houses, large barns, corner gas station, small cafe, tiny post office, large feed and grain store.. We have grown from that early time yet all of that remains only several times larger.. My goal would be to preserve that feel while remaining a vibrant welcoming community for all age groups.1 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Photo is of my small woods which is yet another example of peace for me..Cherie Perry 8/19/2016 18:30 0 I love the shorelines of Jefferson County https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/i-love-the- shorelines-of-jefferson-county 8/10/2016 16:41 Patty Charnas created other none 4 I love the shorelines of Jefferson County 0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Local Food!https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/local-food 8/10/2016 15:56 Emma Bolin created community none 3 I love the locally produced food and visiting the farms that produce it!0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes Local Food Yum! https://jeffersonwa.granicusideas.com/ideas/local-food- yum 8/10/2016 15:55 Emma Bolin deleted community none 1 I love the locally produced food and visiting the farms that produce it!0 Comments Comment User ID Time posted Votes
