Additional capacity is required to accommodate existing and continued development in the northern industrial area of the City. Both South 1801 " Street and South 21th 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.

Additional capacity is required to accommodate existing and continued development in this area of the City. These interim improvements will partially accommodate these conditions until the long-term, ultimate widening of West Meeker Street.

Southbound traffic is severely impacted by the congestion further south on Central A venue -and the consequent impacts to southbound through traffic at this intersection. This results in a significant 'cut- through' across the private property on the northwest corner of the intersection. Project will support improved access into the Downtown area, as well as to the R T A Commuter Rail station site, and the increased traffic generated by the changes in land-use in the Downtown area.

Study OnZvJ Funded PROJECT P.E.: City ofKent, State, RTA Construction: STP (U), State, City ofKent, 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 posi6ve 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.
