A Weekly Gig Harbor Update
|
|
Greetings!
We know this is a challenging time, and that everyone in our community is affected by the COVID-19 Stay at Home order from the Governor.
As a reference for those at home, and a source of information from the city, we'll be publishing a weekly guide each Friday covering what's open, where to order from, local businesses to support and what to do while practicing social distancing.
If you have questions, we urge you to join the Mayor's live Q&A sessions, hosted on the City of Gig Harbor Facebook page each Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 AM.
Read along in good health, and should you have information to add, drop a note to us via the link below.

Opportunities to Give Back

Gig Harbor City Park Spotlight:
Cushman Trail
|
|
This 6.2 mile regional trail was developed in cooperation with Pierce County and Tacoma Power Utility. The trail is paved and ranges from 12-16 feet in width. There are trailheads within the City at Borgen Boulevard, Hollycroft Street and Grandview Street. PenMet Parks has extended the trail south of the City Limits to 14th Avenue Northwest and maintains a trailhead with parking at this location.

|
|
The City's staff is committed to delivering services to our residents, and will continue to do so. Updates and modifications for this week are listed below.
|
|
PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT
UPDATE
|
|
The City’s critical infrastructure will continue to operate without interruption.
Do you have questions on what is classified as an "essential business?" All City Utility and Transportation
operations, maintenance, and capital projects continue to occur. We continue to receive, review, and issue permits. Those construction projects that are associated with critical infrastructure as set forth by the Governor will be allowed to occur. City Staff remain available via email and phone.
Parks and trails are open, however play structures, sport courts and public restrooms (Jerisich not included) are closed.
|
|
GIG HARBOR
POLICE DEPARTMENT
UPDATE
|
|
Our police department continues to function around the clock and respond to all calls for service. Officers may handle routine calls by phone or ask callers to meet them outside when they arrive.
Arrests are still happening for things like theft or DUI. In most cases, a court date may be issued instead of being taken to jail.
People who work at essential businesses do NOT need carry a “pass” to show to police.
|
|
COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
UPDATE
|
|
Starting Wednesday, 3/25, the Governor deemed most construction activities as “non-essential.” The City’s Community Development Department is complying with this, but continuing to inspect essential projects, like the new elementary schools and emergency/ safety issues only.
Review staff are working remotely to review projects, draft decisions, conduct code enforcement and respond to customers.
