(Prelim. Study Only) Funded · PROJECT Construction: STP (U), State, City of Kent, Regional Transit Authority, Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad and Union Pacific/Southern Pacific Railroad 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.
