The Riddell Road Apartments, as the proposal is known in municipal plans, are proposed for two lots behind Wilco in East Bremerton. For many years, the land was owned by the Zarelli family, who built it and the Merit Mart shop at Riddell and Wheaton Way in 1966. The Zarellis sold the property in 2007, and since then various plans have been made public about what should be done with the land. There are currently single-family homes on the properties, but they are small and outdated and lack sufficient parking. The apartments would include between 60 and 100 units. Some residents have expressed concern that the project doesn't provide enough space for parking, but Bremerton city officials say this isn't necessary because most people will use public transportation or ride-sharing services like Uber instead of driving themselves to work. The project has received mostly positive feedback from residents who have seen drawings of the plan. Many think it's an excellent idea to bring more housing options to the area, while others worry about increased traffic and the loss of neighborhood character. The Riddell project is just one of several planned developments in East Bremerton. Also in the works is a four-story apartment building for older adults called The Residences at Harbor Pointe, a new hotel called The Bremerton Hotel, and a large mixed-use development called The District at Wheaton Way and Riddell Road.
