DESCRIPTION:
2001
South 272"d/2771h Street Corridor Project -Phase I
Auburn Way North to Kent-Kangley Road (State Route 516)
Construct a new five-lane roadway from Auburn Way to the Kent-
Kangley Road (State Route 516), via South 2771h Street, Southeast 2741h
Street, and 1161h Avenue Southeast, including a new bridge over the Green
River, and a modification to the traffic signals at the intersections of South
277'h Street and Auburn Way North and at 1161h Avenue Southeast and the
Kent-Kangley Road (State Route 516). Project will include the
construction of full-width paving, concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks,
street lighting, storm drainage, bike paths, landscaping, utilities and
appurtenances.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .............. $2,900,000
Right of Way Acquisition ............ $3,200,000
Construction .............................. $24,400,000
TOTAL ..................................... $30,500,000
FUNDING SOURCE (S): TPP, City of Kent, LID Funded and much of the project has been
concluded
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Canyon Drive/SR 516 is infeasible to widen to accommodate either
existing or forecast traffic volumes, based upon existing topographic
constraints through the Mill Creek ravine, and pre-existing development.
Additional constraints are created by the discontinuity in the route of SR
516. Adequate additional east-west capacity to accommodate growth in
the Lake Meridian and Covington areas is only available through
construction of a new arterial roadway. This project provides continuous
arterial from Kent East Hill to SR 167 to Interstate 5.

PROJECT: South 196111 /200 1h Street Corridor Project
West Valley Highway (State Route 181) to East Valley Highway
DESCRIPTION: Construct a new five-lane roadway from West Valley Highway to East
Valley Road, including a new bridge over the Union Pacific and the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad mainlines; widen South
1961h Street between West Valley Highwa~ and 72nd Avenue South;
signalization of the intersection of South 1961 Street at East Valley Road;
Widen 801h Avenue South. Project will include the construction of full-
width paving, bridges, concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks, street
lighting, storm drainage, bike paths [from West Valley Highway to the
Interurban Trail], landscaping, utilities and appurtenances. All portions
presently under construction.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The South 1801
h Street/Carr Road and South 2081h/212 1h Street 'corridors'
are infeasible to widen to accommodate forecast traffic volumes without
additional east-west capacity, based upon existing development and
topographic constraints. Additional capacity is required to accommodate
existing and continued development in the northern industrial area of the
City. Both South 1801h Street and South 2121h Street have at-grade
crossings for both the UP and BNSF railroads, which hampers east-west
freight mobility. Adequate additional east-west grade-separated capacity
is also required to accommodate growth in the South Renton and Kent
East Hill areas. This project provides the second phase of a continuous
arterial from 1401h Avenue Southeast to Benson Highway, and to
Interstate 5.

PROJECT: Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad/Union Pacific Railroad Grade
Separation Project
South 2lih Street, James Street and/or Willis Street/SR 516, and South
228 1h Street
DESCRIPTION: Construct grade separations of both the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Railroad's and Union Pacific Railroad's mainline tracks at South 2lih
Street, and at either James Street or Willis Street/State Route 516; and at
South 228 1h Street. Project will support the increased number of trains
through the City resulting from the re-opening of the BNSF Railroad's
Stampede Pass line and increased activity through the Ports of Seattle and
Tacoma, as well as the commuter rail operations of the RIA. Project will
ultimately include the construction of bridge structures, full-width paving,
concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; street lighting, utilities and
appurtenances.

JUSTIFICATION: The level of freight and passenger rail traffic on both the UP/SP and
BNSF Railroads' mainlines is dramatically increasing as a consequence
of positive economic conditions in the Puget Sound area and the
approved RTA plan. East-west freight and commuter mobility in the
Green River Valley will soon reach a point of being significantly
impacted by continued private development competing with the increased
rail traffic -also created by private development activities and regional
trade. Grade-separations are required to mitigate past and future
development and increased rail traffic to maintain east-west mobility.

JUSTIFICATION: The existing paving along this section of 841h Avenue South is showing
signs of structural distress, as demonstrated by "alligatoring",
longitudinal cracking, and cracking of the curbs and gutters. In addition
to the pavement distress, an inverted crown section occurs at the former
curb line along many of the sections of the street. This inverted crown
section results in the ponding of storm water in the street along the seam
line, which increases the failure rate ofthe roadway pavement.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The James Street and Meeker Street 'corridors' are infeasible to widen
sufficiently to accommodate forecast traffic volumes and future
development without additional east-west capacity, based upon existing
development patterns and topographic constraints. Additional capacity is
required to accommodate existing development in the northern industrial
area of the City. South 21zth Street has at-grade crossings for both the
UP and BNSF railroads, which also hampers east-west freight mobility.
Meeker Street currently represents the only east-west arterial that crosses
the Green River between the State Route 516 and South 21zth Street.
This project provides the first phase of a continuous arterial from Benson
Highway to Interstate 5, though the industrial center of Kent.
