Hmmmm...thought I made my motivation quite clear.... It's to stay in that idealistic bubble to keep Poulsbo quaint. Coming from a CA city which grew out of proportion and doubled over the course of 25 yeas, and crossing town now takes at least 45 (more depending on rush hour and traffic lights) vs. once 15 minutes, I dread the thought of such drastic growth and congestion coming to the lovely place we chose to spend our retirement years and Dollars. While I understand modest growth is inevitable, I don't understand how all that congestion is an appealing prospect for residents in and around a small town like Poulsbo, without even the capability of expanding infrastructure accordingly.  Bond Street to Kingston Ferry, Hwy 305 to Bainbridge, and the end of Hwy 3 to Pt. Gamble will never become 4 lanes. So yes - I admit to being a NIMBY.
