Tasked by the Bainbridge Island City Council to develop a funding package for the once $20 million and now $13 million Streetscape project, city administration is assigning most of the costs ($7.4 million) to utility customers.

Funding for the street amenities (trees, furniture, etc.) is being postponed to future conversations.
