Blanchard, Director of Public Works WASHINGTON CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2009-2014 Introduction What is the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program CTIP)? The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning document that is annually updated based on needs and policies identified through a variety of sources. Project and financial development involve interactions with many groups and agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels. It represents Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in the next six years. The document also identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each of the projects included in the TIP. Typically, projects listed in the first three years of the document are shown as having secured funding or there are reasonable expectations to acquire those funds, while projects in the last three years can be partially funded and be seeking funding partners. All projects are consistent with the City's adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan. Mandated by State Law State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually (RCW 35.77.010). In order for cities to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State sources most granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP. Summary The 2009 Six Year TIP contains no substantive changes from last year's Program. All projects and programs have been reviewed for adjustments in scope and budget but no new projects have been added. Once adopted, the TIP helps to guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of the city's Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

During peak hours, the roadway cannot accommodate the traffic volumes due to the large number of vehicles blocking the roadway while waiting to turn left into driveways. The widening of Southeast 256 111 Street also alleviates tral1ic on SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) as the two roads essentially run parallel to each other. The project will increase the capacity of this roadway by adding new general purpose lanes and a center two-way left turn lane. This project will connect the SR 515/SR 516 intersection with the improvements already existing on Southeast 256'11 Street east of 116'h A venue Southeast and the improvements along 116'11 A venue Southeast between Southeast 256 111 Street and Kent Kangley Road. --AlP-Arterial Improvement Program [State 1; CiVJAQ-Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality L FederalJ; /,A,\'T-Freight 8 Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Conidor; Flv!SIB-Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; liES-Hazard Elimination [Pederal], tJ:S'-Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID ·--Local Improvement District; PWTF -Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP-Surface Transportation Program [Federall; TIA-Transportation Improvement Account; TIB-Transportation Improvement Board rstatc 1; TPP- Transpmtation Pmtncrship Program [State] CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #9: South 228 1" Street Pavement Rehabilitation Lakeside Boulevard to 72"d Avenue South DESCRIPTION: This project will consist of rehabilitating the existing roadway by grinding rough areas, reconstructing failing areas and providing a full width overlay of South 228lli Street between Lakeside Boulevard and 72"d Avenue South. PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ................... $50,000 Right of Way Acquisition .......................... $0 Construction ................................. $650,0000 TOTAL ........................................... $700,000 FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This road lies in the heart of the City's manufacturing area. Heavy truck traffic means pavement condition on South 228'11 Street has deteriorated significantly. Kent is the second largest warehouse/distribution center on the west coast with over 40 million square feet of industrial space. With the completion of major portions of the 228'11 corridor and the anticipated increase in the number of daily truck trips, the pavement will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate. This project will maintain a major freight corridor to the ports and protect the City's investment in transportation infrastructure. ~ -AlP-Arterial Improvement Program LStateJ; CIVIAQ-Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federall; FAST-Freight 9 Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FiVISIB-Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA- Federal Transit Administration [Federal1; HES-Hazard Elimination [Federal], iTS-Intelligent Tran~portation Systems [Federal]; UD -Local Tmprovement District; PYVTF-Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; S.TP-Surface Transportation Program lFederal]; TIA-Transpottation Improvement Account; TIE-Transpmtation Improvement Board [State]; TPP- 'l'ransportation Prutnership Program [Statel CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2010 PROJECT #10: Central Avenue South Pavement Rehabilitation Green River Bridge to East Willis Street (SR 516) DESCRIPTION: Remove and rehabilitate the existing roadway pavement to add service life to the roadway, between the Green River Bridge and East Willis Street (SR 516).

Community circulating shuttles encourage the participation of all ages, all economic groups, all physical abilities, and virtually all of our community in everyday civic life without the isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip. Commuter shuttles enhance the regional transit/train service by providing the vital link from the home to the Transit Center and from the Transit Center to the workplace, encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home, avoiding the cold start impacts to air quality and reducing congestion on local streets. --AlP-Arterial Improvement Program rstatcl; C1VL4Q-Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST-rreight 38 Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; FlvfSIB-Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA -- Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; liES-Hazard Elimination l federalj, /7~\' -Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federall; LID -Local hnprovcmcnt District; PWTF-Public Works Trust .Fund Lom1 [State]; STP-Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA-Transportation Improvement Account; TIE-Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP Transportation Partnership Program [State] CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR: 2009-2014 ·PROJECT #39: Transit Now Service Partnership Program Ongoing Citywide Program DESCRIPTION: Transit Now is a voter-approved King County Metro Transit program which provides incentives for local jurisdictions to improve local transit operations by entering into a direct financial partnership with Metro for providing that additional service. Metro will match a partner's contribution on a 2: I basis. Transit Now requires a minimum contribution from the partner of$100,000 per year for five (5) years to add service on an existing route or $200,000 per year for five (5) years to add a new route. Kent was successful on two proposals, one to add new daily shuttle service through The Lakes and Riverview communities to the Kent Transit Center, and one to increased frequencies on the Route !53 between Kent and Renton.

Transit service within Kent and between Kent and its neighboring jurisdictions has serious deficiencies. Due to low frequency, transit is simply not a viable option for travelers who need to make a trip during the midday, commuters working non-traditional shifts, and peak hour commuters who are concerned that there is no safety net service should they need to travel during the midday. These partnership proposals allow us to buy our way into providing additional service to our community that we would not otherwise be able to obtain. --AlP-Arterial Improvement Program [State); CMAQ-Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [federalj; FAST-freight 3 9 Action Slrategy for Everett~Seattle~Tacoma Corridor; Ft\-!S!B-Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board [State], f1'A- Federal Tmnsit Administration [Federal]; Hl!.S -·Hazard Elimination [Federa[l, ITS--Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID -Local fmprovement District; PWTF-Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP-Surface Transportation Program lFederal]; TIA-Transrxwtation Improvement Account; TJB-Transportation Improvement Board rsratel; TPP Transportation Partnership Program [State] CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2009-2014 KENT WASHINGTON For more information or additional copies of this document contact: Steve Mullen, Transportation Engineering Manager City of Kent, Public Works, Engineering 220 Fourth Avenue South Kent, WA 98032-5895 (253) 856-5585 smullen@ci. kent. wa. us --AlP-Arterial Improvement Program [State]; CAlAQ-Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality [Federal]; FAST-Freight 40 Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma Corridor; Flv!SIB-Freight )Jobility Strategic Investment Board [State], FTA- Federal Transit Administration [Federal]; HES-Hazard Elimination [Federal], ITS-Intelligent Transportation Systems [Federal]; LID-Local Improvement District; PWTF -Public Works Trust Fund Loan [State]; STP-Surface Transportation Program [Federal]; TIA-Transpmtation Improvement Account; TIE-Transportation Improvement Board [State]; TPP- Transpmiation Partnership Program [State]
