11. Information Only/Planet Protector Summit Update
Conservation Coordinator, Tony Donati that the 20th Annual Planet Protector
Summit (formerly known as the Water Festival) took place on March 26 at
Green River College in Auburn. 1,100 third, fourth and fifth grade students,
from nine schools along with their teachers and parent chaperones
participated at this year’s event.
Topics covered were water quality protection and conservation, salmon and
wildlife habitat protection and water reduction and recycling.

Street Supervisor, Brent Collins noted that the winter storm cleanup included
the following:
· 35 - 50 personnel worked 12 hour shifts for 11 straight days.

While sand is an important part of our snow fight and helps crews and the
motoring public gain traction during events such as this.
Collins noted that crews have been working for several weeks to remove
sand from the roadway. Ecologically it’s important to remove as much sand
from our streets and gutters as possible, before it migrates into our storm
drains and waterways.

253-856-5600
DATE: May 6, 2019
TO: Public Works Committee
SUBJECT: Kent Airport Levee Grant - King County Flood Control District
Subregional Opportunity Fund
MOTION: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to direct staff
to accept funds from the King County Flood Control District Subregional
Opportunity Fund in the amount of $188,090 for the Kent Airport Levee
project and to establish a budget for the funds to be spent within this
project.
SUMMARY: The King County Flood Control District (District) collects an annual
levy from properties within King County. Ten percent of the levy collected within
each jurisdiction is granted back to the jurisdiction to be used for stormwater or
habitat projects through the District’s Subregional Opportunity Fund.
The Kent Airport Levee is a levee on the left bank (south side) of the Green River,
located between SR 167 to the west, and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks to the
east. The levee protects large businesses in manufacturing, warehouse distribution,
transportation, freight, auto, and railroad industries. The levee needs to be repaired
as it currently does not meet FEMA accreditation standards for flood protection.
In late 2018, the City requested our allocation of the District Opportunity Fund to
be directed to the Kent Airport Levee, in the amount of $188,090. This project was
chosen for this grant program following internal review by City Staff.
The funds will be used to secure property along the river to construct the levee, and
to prepare preliminary designs. Approval is needed by the City Council to accept
these funds for the project and establish a budget.
BUDGET IMPACT: No budget impact.

King County Flood Control District
2019 Sub-Regional Opportunity Fund Application Packet
The King County Flood Control District (District) has allocated a portion of the Flood District's levy
proceeds for a Sub-Regional Opportunity Fund. This fund is made available to jurisdictions throughout
the District on a proportional basis, based on assessed valuation. Eligible activities include flood control
and stormwater improvements, as well as watershed management activities such as habitat
conservation.
I.Opportunity Fund Allocation
The Opportunity Fund for 2018 is estimated to be $5,941,000; however, the final amount of funding
will be determined when the District’s Board of Supervisors approves the 2019 levy amount for the
District in November of this year. Table 1 shows the allocation of these funds among the 40
jurisdictions in King County as of July 25, 2018. These allocations will be revised when the Board of
Supervisors approves the 2019 Work Plan, also in November 2018.
A jurisdiction can apply for one or more projects up to its allocated amount including any unused
balance from prior years.
II.Criteria for Eligible Projects and Activities
The Sub-Regional Opportunity Fund can be used for flood control, stormwater control, and
cooperative watershed management projects. Salmon habitat protection projects must be linked to
the construction of a flood or stormwater project as follows:
1.Flood control improvements may be extended, enlarged, acquired or constructed, provided a
comprehensive plan of development for flood control has been developed and the improvement
contributes to the objectives of that plan and the plan has been submitted to and approved by
the Washington State Department of Ecology.
2.Stormwater control improvements may be extended, enlarged, acquired or constructed,
provided a comprehensive plan for stormwater control has been prepared for the area and the
improvement is consistent with the stormwater plan.
3.Watershed management projects identified in watershed management partnerships or other
intergovernmental agreements for the purposes of water supply, water quality, and water
resource and habitat protection and management. Projects in this category that consist of
salmon habitat protection must demonstrate a link to flooding or stormwater projects. This third
category includes, but is not limited to, the following:
a.Watershed plans developed under chapter 90.82 RCW;
b.Salmon recovery plans developed under chapter 77.85 RCW;
c.Watershed management elements of comprehensive land use plans developed under the
Growth Management Act under chapter 36.70A RCW;
d.Watershed management elements of shoreline master programs developed under the
Shoreline Management Act, chapter 90.58 RCW;

e.Nonpoint pollution action plans developed under the Puget Sound water quality
management planning authorities of chapter 90.71 RCW and chapter 400-12 WAC;
f.Other comprehensive management plans addressing watershed health at a Watershed
Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) level or sub-WRIA basin level;
g.Coordinated water system plans under chapter 70.116 RCW and similar regional plans for
water supply; and
h.Any combination of the foregoing plans in an integrated watershed management plan.
In Categories 1 and 2 above, construction improvements require the development of preliminary
engineering studies and plans, and such studies and plans must be on file with the King County
River and Floodplain Management Section, serving as a service provider to the District. For all
projects, cost estimates and underlying data must be provided, and the benefit provided by the
improvement must be described.
III.Approval Process
Upon timely submittal of an application it will be reviewed for completeness and for meeting the
eligibility criteria. Eligible projects will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval in
November 2018.
IV.Timeline
All projects must be completed within two years after their commencement date which is the
starting date entered in the application. If a project will not be completed within the allowable
timeframe, the jurisdiction can request an amendment for unforeseen reasons. Any remaining
balance will be added to any unspent balance.
V.Advances, reimbursement and reporting
A jurisdiction can request a 10 percent advance from its Opportunity Fund allocation. The request
should be in the form of a letter that explicitly states the amount of funds being requested, which
cannot exceed 10 percent of the jurisdiction’s annual allocation. All remaining funds shall be issued
on a reimbursement basis following a jurisdiction’s submittal of an invoice.
Jurisdictions are required to provide the District with semiannual progress reports updating the
status of projects, as well as a final report, which shall be provided within 90 days of project
completion. Semiannual progress reports are due by June 30 and December 31 of each year.
VI.Options for Leveraging Opportunity Fund Dollars
A jurisdiction has the option of accumulating funds over more than one year, allocating its
Opportunity Fund balances to an existing project on the District’s six-year Capital Improvement
Project list, or using the Opportunity Fund as a match for either multi-jurisdictional projects or for
grant opportunities pursued by that jurisdictions as long as the funds will be expended within two
years after the commencement date of any project.
Multi-Jurisdictional Projects
As many flooding and drainage problems cross jurisdictional boundaries, jurisdictions are
encouraged to consider partnering with each other to address shared stormwater and drainage
problems. Doing so offers the opportunity to accomplish a larger scale project than may be possible
if operating independently. For example, lakefront jurisdictions may consider combining funds to
pursue a common objective, such as reducing the amount of stormwater runoff into urban lakes.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Tim LaPorte, PE
220 Fourth Avenue South
Kent, WA 98032
253-856-5600
DATE: May 6, 2019
TO: Public Works Committee
SUBJECT: Lake Fenwick Aerator Retrofit Grant – King County
Subregional Opportunity Fund
MOTION: Move to recommend that Council authorize the Mayor to direct
staff to accept the King County Flood Control District Subregional
Opportunity Fund, in the amount of $190,352, to help fund a retrofit of the
Lake Fenwick Aerator.
SUMMARY: The King County Flood Control District (KCFCD) collects an annual
levy from properties within King County. Through the District’s Subregional
Opportunity Fund (SROF), ten percent of the levy collected within each jurisdiction
is granted back to the jurisdiction to be used for stormwater or habitat projects.
Lake Fenwick is listed on the “303d list” – the nation’s list of impaired waterbodies,
for phosphorus pollution. This excess phosphorus comes from stormwater inputs
from the surrounding Lake Fenwick watershed. A “hypolimnetic aerator” – basically
similar to a large fish-tank bubbler, was installed in the lake in 1994 to help
sequester this phosphorus pollution and reduce the potential for harmful algae
blooms in the lake. This aerator has helped improve Lake Fenwick water quality
conditions for the past 24 years. However, the amount of phosphorus pollution in
the lake has now exceeded the aerator’s capacity.
Staff identified retrofit of the existing aerator as a good fit for the SROF grant
allocation. This grant, along with other grant funding from the King County
Wastewater Treatment Division (KCWTD - $89,000) and in-kind funds provided by
the City of Kent Drainage Utility will fund the full permitting, design and
construction of an upgraded aeration system.
BUDGET IMPACT: No additional city funds are required. This grant will provide
match for the KCWTD WaterWorks grant along with in-kind match ($16,500) of city
staff time.

SCOPE OF WORK
(Please complete only one application per project.)
4) Description of the flooding, stormwater, or linked watershed management problem that this project or
activity will address (300 words maximum):
Phosphorus pollution in stormwater has entered Lake Fenwick from the 563-acre surrounding
urbanized watershed in the past and has tipped this lake towards eutrophic (nutrient-rich) conditions.
Nutrient cycling within the lake now routinely stirs-up phosphorus-rich sediments from the bottom of the
lake causing unsightly and potentially toxic algae blooms. Lake Fenwick was listed on the "303d list",
the nation's list of impaired waterbodies, for phosphorus pollution in 1993. A number of source control
measures have now been enacted and a hypolimnetic aerator (basically a large fish\ank bubbler) was
installed in 1994 to oxygenate the lake and seguesfer excess nutrients. However, seasonal high
phosphorus /evels and algae blooms continue, and the 'TMDL", or total maximum daily load limit for
phosphorus fhaf was established in 1993 is routinely exceeded.

5) Description of how the proposed activity will address the problem outlined in Question #4, above
(300 words maximum):
Regional lake and water quality experts from Tetra Tech, lnc., under contract with the City of Kent,
have studied this lake and its water quality issues for nearly two decades. They have determined that
the existing hypolimnetic aerator is undersized providing only one third of the oxygen that is needed to
keep the phosphorus pollution from entering Lake Fenwick's water column. Funding from this program
will help complete design and construction of an upgraded hypolimnetic aerator designed to meet
current and future oxygen demand in the lake. Operation of this upgraded aerator will reduce available
phosphorus in the lake and, in-turn, reduce unsightlv and potentiallv hazardous algae blooms.
6) Describe how the proposed project or activity satisfies the eligibility criteria for at least one of the
three categories listed in Section ll of the Application Packet (Criteria for Eligible Projects and Activities)
(300 words maximum):
The Lake Fenwick Aerator Retrofit project saflsfles the "Stormwater control improvements" (criteria #2)
criteria for eligible projects. The City completed a Drainage Master Plan (DMP) in 2008 that
recommended 42 projects needed to reduce flooding and improve the city's drainage and stormwater
system. The upgrade of the Lake Fenwick aerator was identified as one of these projects (Project L-3).
This projecf is consisfent with the goals of the 2017 City of Kent Stormwater Management Plan
(SWMP) and the Surface Water and Drainage Code (KCC 7.05 and 7.07). Specifically, this project will:
a) Preserue and enhance the suitability of waters for contact recreation and fishing; and b) Preserue
and enhance the aesthetic qualitv of the waters.
7) ldentify the management plan (i.e. flood control, stormwater control, or watershed management) that
includes, recommends, supports, or is consistent with implementation of the project or activity (see
Application Packet for more information):
See fhe citations above from the DMP, SWMP and KCC. ln addition, Lake Fenwick was identified as a
Shoreline of State-wide Significance in the 2009 City of Kent Shoreline Master Program (SMP). This
water quality improvement projectis consisfent with the goals of the SMP and the Shoreline
Management Act (RCW 90.58.020). Also, see fhe enclosed Lake Fenwick Hypolimnetic Aerator

SUBJECT: Information Only - 2020-2025 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) Update
SUMMARY: The Draft 2020-2025 Six-Year TIP represents the City’s proposed
transportation improvement work program for the next six years. Per RCW
35.77.010, the six-year plan for each city shall specifically set forth those projects
and programs of regional significance for inclusion in the transportation
improvement program within that region. The program is also required to be
consistent with the Kent Comprehensive Plan.
Including projects in the Six-Year TIP allows the City to search for funding partners
and apply for grants. Most State and Federal agencies require that projects
submitted for grants be included in the City’s adopted Six-Year TIP. This update is
to add two projects to the TIP for an upcoming grant opportunity.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Inclusive Community, Thriving City, Evolving Infrastructure, Innovative Community,

2020-2025 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
CITY OF KENT iii
Introduction
Overview
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning
document that is updated annually based on needs and policies identified in the
City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TIP
represents Kent’s current list of needed projects that are anticipated to begin
preliminary engineering, right of way acquisition or construction within the next six
years. The TIP also includes ongoing citywide transportation programs. Projects and
programs are included in the plan for a variety of reasons. These projects and
programs encompass all transportation modes as well as both capital improvements
and operations and maintenance.
The document identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each
project or program. The TIP serves as a draft work plan for the development of the
local transportation network. Once adopted, the TIP will guide funding and
implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of
the Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP shows the City-funded
portion of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP
shows a complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners
involved.
Historically, the largest sources of funding for TIP projects have been grants.
Funding for transportation projects is available from federal, state and local
resources. Each funding source has specific rules and guidelines about what types
of projects it will fund, how much of a project will be funded and timelines for
expenditure of funds. Additionally, most grant programs require a funding match,
which means that the City must also contribute funding to the cost of a project.
The City of Kent funds transportation projects using the General Fund, Street Fund,
Local Improvement Districts, Transportation Impact Fees, Business and Occupation
Tax, Solid Waste Utility Tax, and grant revenue from local, state and federal
governments. One reason the TIP is updated annually is that many revenue sources
are closely tied to the health of the economy and can therefore be unpredictable. In
addition, grant criteria can change from the previous cycle necessitating a re-
evaluation of the TIP projects.
Document Structure
Each project or program listed in the TIP includes an estimated cost, the amount of
funding secured or unsecured and the funding source(s). If grant funding has been

secured from a specific source, it is identified. Projects listed that are necessary to
accommodate growth and allow the City to maintain its adopted Levels of Service
may be funded in part by transportation impact fees. The costs for projects
programmed in the first three years of the TIP have been developed with a higher
level of certainty whereas those in the latter three years have been developed with
less specificity, as those projects are generally less defined.
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010). It represents an important planning component under the State’s
Growth Management Act. The TIP must be consistent with the transportation
element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The TIP may be revised at any time
during the year by a majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing. In order to
compete for transportation funding grants from federal and state sources, granting
agencies require projects to be included in the TIP.
Changes to the TIP
The City updated its Comprehensive Plan in 2015. The first six years of the
Comprehensive Plan are financially constrained, meaning that secured funding is
demonstrated within an approved budget or similarly approved funding action.
Subsequently, the 2020-2025 TIP has been revised to reflect projects that will likely
be constructed using existing funding sources as well as the City’s historical record
of average grant disbursements. Tables 1 and 2 below detail projects added and
removed from the TIP. Table 3 details changes to existing project limits.

2020-2025 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Project Descriptions
CITY OF KENT 1
PROJECT #1: South 224th Street Extension (Phase I)
84th Avenue South to 88th Avenue South
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Construct a three-lane road from 84th Avenue South to 88th
Avenue South, including a new bridge over SR 167. The project
will include full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and
sidewalks; five-foot paved shoulders; street lighting; storm
drainage; landscaping; utilities and appurtenances. Construction
began in 2017 and will be completed in 2019.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $3,526,000
Right of Way Acquisition ... $1,451,000
Construction ................ $17,669,000
TOTAL ........................ $22,646,000
Secured Funding ............ $22,646,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Drainage Fund, Local Improvement District,
Special Assessments), Developer Mitigation, Transportation Improvement Board
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate
the current or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent’s East Hill and the
Green River Valley floor. To meet transportation concurrency requirements of the
Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is required.
Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and James/Southeast 240th Streets
are at or over capacity. Because of existing development and topographic
constraints, it is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and South
208th/212th Street ‘corridors’ enough to to provide the additional east-west
capacity needed to accommodate forecast traffic volumes .

PROJECT #4: Kent Valley Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Purchase and install five traffic signal cabinets, 34 controllers
and applicable communications capable of supporting flashing
yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA) operation for permissive left turns
at 14 intersections in the north Kent Valley.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ......... $56,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $813,000
TOTAL ............................. $869,000
Secured Funding ................. $869,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax) Federal
Highway Safety Improvement Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project builds upon a previous Federal Highway
Safety Improvement Program funded project that included replacement of the master
signal controller unit and installation of the FYLTAs in the downtown area. This type
of signal display has been demonstrated to be much more readily understood by
motorists and has resulted in reduced collision rates involving vehicles turning left
during permissive left turn signal phases. The upgrade to the legacy central traffic
signal control system and more advanced intersection traffic signal controllers will
allow greater operation flexibility and improved transportation system efficiency.

crossing. Train horns are an effective warning of a train approaching grade crossings,
but they expose the local community to significant noise. Reducing that noise through
a quiet zone will improve the quality of life for those living and working closest to the
railroad facilities and could eliminate a barrier to attracting new businesses and
residents.

PROJECT #13: Auburn to Renton Rapid Ride
Access Improvements
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: This project is to upgrade passenger facilities and increase access
to transit within Kent along the new King County Metro Rapid Ride
I corridor expected to open in 2023. Improved pedestrian and
bicycle facilities, shelter improvements, real time arrival
information, lighting, off-board payment kiosks, and other transit
facility improvements will increase safety and comfort for transit
users, induce transit ridership, and improve transit speeds
throughout the City and other jurisdictions along the route. The
new Rapid Ride corridor will run north-south along Central Avenue
from Auburn to the Kent Transit Center, connect to the East Hill
area, and then north-south along the Benson Highway (State
Route 515) corridor to Renton. Over seven miles of the corridor
are within the City.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,650,000
Equipment ...................... $1,520,000
Construction ................... $7,510,000
TOTAL ........................ $10,680,000
Regional Mobility Grant ..... $8,000,000
King County Metro ........... $2,280,000
Secured Funding ........ $10,680,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): King County METRO, Washington State Department of
Transportation Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:Current frequent service along this corridor includes route
180 (Southeast Auburn to Kent Station to Sea-Tac Airport to Burien
Transit Center) and route 169 (Kent Station to Renton Transit
Center). The corridor currently has 31 northbound and 29
southbound transit stops serving these two routes. This corridor
currently has deficiencies in bus stop facilities as well as areas with
poor pedestrian and bicycle access to transit. All bus zones identified
for Rapid Ride service will require upgraded facilities (e.g., new
RapidRide shelters and amenities) to align with King County Metro’s
Rapid Ride branding and standards. The City will work with King
County Metro to identify bus zone locations for improvements.

YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Construct drainage and road improvements on 76th Avenue South
from the 22400 block to the 21700 block. The project will raise
the existing road to 1.5 feet above FEMA flood elevation and
include a full width overlay, concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
street lighting, storm drainage, and channelization. This project
must be assessed with respect to the complete streets
requirements. The Transportation Master Plan calls for “possible
re-striping” for bicycle lanes on this segment of 76th Avenue
South.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $500,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction .................. $2,800,000
TOTAL .......................... $3,300,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax, Storm
Drainage Utility Fund), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement
Program, Developer Mitigation, Surface Transportation Program, Transportation
Improvement Board
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 76th Avenue South floods several times per year,
resulting in road closures. The roadway is located in the heart of the City’s
Industrial zoning area and has significant heavy truck traffic. Large industrial and
manufacturing companies and a large solid waste company that serves several
adjacent jurisdictions are located in the immediate vicinity of the project. Road
closures negatively impact these businesses and create congestion in other parts of
the City as a result of traffic detours around the closure. Improving the road to
current standards will also improve traffic flow on 76th Avenue South.

sliding plate, and steel fingers, with a modern expansion joint on
the west end of the bridge and remove and repair the flexible
joint seals on the east end of the bridge.

Construction ..................... $719,100
TOTAL ............................. $836,600
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax, General Fund,
Local Improvement District), WSDOT Local Bridge Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The S. 212th Street is a major corridor connecting
I-5 to SR-167 and SR-515. S 212th Street travels directly through the Manufacturing
and Industrial Center connecting businesses and communities throughout the Puget
Sound. This corridor is heavily used by commuters and commercial trucks that are
destined to the distribution centers and businesses within the Manufacturing and
Industrial Center of the City of Kent.
The S. 212th Street Bridge spans the Green River in the City of Kent, within King
County. A bridge has been located at this location since before 1936. The current
bridge is a three span steel plate girder with a weathering steel and concrete deck,
and steel finger expansion joints. No major repairs have been performed on the
bridge since its construction in 1966. Recent repairs include the filling of missing
sections of poured flexible seal with crack sealant in several locations. In 2006,
repairs were made to the concrete parapet and deck surface. Joint and steel rail
repairs were made in 2010. Due to heavy truck traffic, the deck surface has
substantially delaminated and spalled to where repairs are scheduled for the summer
of 2019. The S. 212th Street Bridge has stringer supports with attached existing city
utilities (8" sanitary sewer force main and 8" water main), and private utilities below
the roadway decking that services businesses and residents on either side of the
Green River in the City of Kent.

PROJECT #21: Meeker Street Green River Bridge Rehabilitation
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Replace the existing finger expansion joints, including the reinsert
and glue bearing pads.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $840,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction .................. $5,140,800
TOTAL .......................... $5,980,800
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax, General Fund,
Local Improvement District), WSDOT Local Bridge Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The Meeker St. bridge over the Green River is a steel
stringer (Warren Truss Frame) bridge located in the City of Kent's boundary limits
within King County. Meeker Street is part of the old SR-516, a major connecting
corridor linking I-5 and SR-167. The Meeker Street Bridge has stringer supports with
attached existing city utilities (METRO 24" sanitary sewer trunk line and a City of
Kent 12" water main and other outside utilities) below the roadway decking that
services the residents on the west hill of the City of Kent. This route is heavily used
by commercial trucks that service downtown Kent, industrial and distribution centers,
and commuters.
The bridge has severe paint scaling with 70% of top chords of trusses peeled to the
primer, as well as bottom truss and vertical hangers. Pack rust is visible. The bridge
deck has severe exposed short transverse rebar with spalls concentrated in both east
bound and westbound lanes. The worst area is in the southern lane. The lanes have
about 50-55 percent exposed transverse re-bar on the bridge decking. Due to aging
of the bridge, the existing finger expansion joints need to be replaced, including the
reinsert and glue bearing pads.

PROJECT #27: Panther Lake Signal System Integration
YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: This project includes extension of the fiber optic communications
network to traffic signals in the Panther Lake area to allow remote
monitoring, management and coordination. The project also
includes replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers allow
integration with the new central traffic signal control system and
operating Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows (FYLTA).
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ......... $50,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $350,000
TOTAL ............................. $400,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The traffic signals in the Panther Lake area are not
connected to the City’s new central traffic signal control system; hence, they cannot
be remotely monitored or managed from the City’s Traffic Management Center. The
existing traffic signal controllers are not capable of operating FYLTA for permissive
left turn movements. It has been demonstrated that this type of signal display is
much more readily understood by motorists and results in reduced collision rates
involving vehicles turning left during permissive left turn signal phases. The
integration of these signals into the City’s signal system will allow operation flexibility
and improved transportation system efficiency.

YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: This project will create an eastbound right-turn lane on East
James Street to Railroad Avenue North extending from 1st Avenue
North to Railroad Avenue North. This project will also extend the
eastbound bicycle facility on James Street that currently
terminates approaching the 1st Avenue North intersection. In
addition, improved pedestrian facilities are planned along the
north and south sides of East James Street, improving mobility
and safety for these users.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $713,000
Equipment ......................... $150,000
Construction ................... $2,137,000
TOTAL .......................... $3,000,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): King County METRO, Washington State Department of
Transportation Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will improve mobility for transit vehicles,
bicyclists, and pedestrians accessing the Kent Transit Center (Kent Station) via East
James Street. Kent Station serves as a vital transportation hub for the south King
County. In addition to Sound Transit (ST) Sounder service, a King County METRO or
ST bus accesses the transit center once per minute during the peak periods. By 2040,
a bus will access the transit center every 30 seconds during peak periods. In addition,
voter approved ST 3 will increase Sounder service. East James Street in the vicinity
of Kent Station has high congestion and low mobility during peak periods. Eastbound
James Street approaching Central Avenue has large queues and poor level of service.
East James Street has two eastbound travel lanes through the BNSF rail crossing. A
short eastbound left and right turn lane approaching Central Avenue starts at Railroad
Avenue North. Existing geometrics on East James Street west of Railroad Avenue
North are constrained by the close proximity of the Washington Cold Storage Inc.
building. Improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities in this area are needed.

PROJECT #30: Central Avenue
Traffic Signal Communication
YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: The project will implement the communication connection
between the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) rail
corridor and the traffic signals along Central Avenue to allow area
signals the ability to adjust signal timing in anticipation of, during,
and after train events. In addition, signals along the Central
Avenue corridor, from South 259th Street through South 212th
Street, will be upgraded to use this interconnection. Signal
upgrades may utilize newer technology such as adaptive signal
control systems, transit signal priority, and other intelligent
transportation systems applications in traffic signal control.
Additional signals adjacent to at-grade rail crossings may also be
upgraded to take advantage of the new communication
connections.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,188,000

FUNDING SOURCE(S): King County METRO, Washington State Department of
Transportation’s Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will improve mobility for transit vehicles
and motorists in the vicinity of the Kent Transit Center along the Central Avenue
corridor, from South 259th Street through South 212th Street. A King County METRO
or Sound Transit bus accesses the transit center once per minute during the peak
periods. By 2040, a bus will access this regional transit center every 30 seconds
during peak periods. Downtown Kent, along the Central Avenue corridor, experiences
poor level of service due to heavy congestion affecting movements from multiple
directions. There are more than 60 daily trains on the BNSF corridor adjacent to
Central Avenue. With no downtown grade-separated rail crossings, the volume of
daily rail crossing events contributes to the congested conditions. Today, the traffic
signal system cannot communicate signal timing modifications to manage changes in
traffic patterns during or after a train event.

PROJECT #36: Meeker Street and 64th Avenue South
Intersection Improvements
YEAR: 2023
DESCRIPTION: Construct a new curb bulb on the northwest corner of the
intersection, convert the westbound approach to one left turn
lane, one westbound through lane, and one westbound right-turn
lane, and add a westbound transit cue jump.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $100,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $500,000
TOTAL ............................. $600,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Federal Surface Transportation Program, City of Kent
Business and Occupation Tax
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The project is intended to make the intersection safer
for westbound vehicles that must merge quickly after moving through the
intersection, causing speeding and unsafe behavior. The curb bulb will also help make
a more comfortable experience for pedestrians crossing in the west leg of the
intersection, which fits the overall Meet Me on Meeker vision for the corridor. The
project supports visitors to local businesses, as well as residents, seniors and
commuters. The project supports and originates from the Economic Development
Plan, adopted by City Council—particularly the strategies to beautify Kent
streetscapes and strengthen sense of place by designating and improving key
gateways into Kent.

PROJECT #37: South 224th Street Extension (Phase III)
94th Place South to 108th Avenue Southeast (State Route
515/Benson Highway)
YEAR: 2024
DESCRIPTION: Construct a three-lane roadway from 94th Place South to 108th
Avenue Southeast (State Route 515/Benson Highway). This
project widens South 224th Street to three lanes and include full-
width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks; five-foot
paved shoulders; street lighting; storm drainage; landscaping;
utilities and channelization. This project must be assessed with
respect to the complete streets requirements.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,500,000
Right of Way Acquisition ... $1,000,000
Construction ................ $13,000,000
TOTAL ........................ $15,500,000
Secured Funding ................. $100,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax, Drainage Fund,
Local Improvement District, Special Assessments, Transportation Impact Fee),
Developer Mitigation, Transportation Improvement Board
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate
the current or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent’s East Hill and the
Green River Valley floor. In order to meet transportation concurrency requirements
of the Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is required.
Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and James/Southeast 240th Streets are
at or over capacity. Because of existing development and topographic constraints, it
is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and South 208th/212th
Street corridors enough to provide the additional east-west capacity needed to
accommodate forecast traffic volumes.

SUBJECT: Information Only - Sidewalk Code Update
SUMMARY: City staff performed a comprehensive assessment of the 230 miles of
sidewalk network in 2016 and 2018. This assessment resulted in identifying over
175 miles of missing sidewalks on either one, or both sides of a roadway where
practical. In addition, deficiencies/damage of existing sidewalks was also collected.
Sidewalk deficiencies include uneven/broken sidewalk panels and vegetation
encroachment.
Uneven/broken sidewalk panels are the result of ground settlement, lifting of the
sidewalk panels by adjacent tree or shrubbery roots, and/or vehicles driving on
sidewalks. Corrective work for these deficiencies includes grinding, asphalt
shimming, and/or panel replacement. Vegetation encroachment is the result of
shrubbery and/or trees planted by the adjacent property owner, that become
overgrown.
To aid in vegetation maintenance, the Public Works Department will be increasing
outreach efforts to adjacent property owners. In addition to attempting to speak
with the property owners (current practice), door hangers and letters will be sent to
property owners.
As staff assessed sidewalks in 2016 and 2018, there were instances where adjacent
property owner ingress/egress/vegetation has resulted in egregious damage to the
public sidewalk. The City Code is being reviewed to verify if there is sufficient
language therein to obligate the property owner to perform restoration in these
instances.
An update on the condition of the City’s sidewalk network and corrective
maintenance practices will be provided to Committee.

SUBJECT: Information Only - Quiet Zone Update
SUMMARY:
Union Pacific Railroad
Staff have been working with the Washington State Department of Transportation
for the ability to include Willis St (SR 516) in the UPRR quiet zone. SR 516 is a
limited access highway at the UPRR crossing and the state owns and controls the
highway. We have been pursuing two options. The first is to have this section of
SR 516 changed from limited access to managed access which would give the City
operational control of the crossing. The second is a maintenance agreement for the
signs and pavement marking related to the railroad crossing and asking WSDOT for
a letter of “no issue” with the establishment of the quiet zone.
BNSF Railway
The application to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to establish a quiet
zone on the BNSF mainline was submitted on April 3, 2019. We are in the 60-day
comment period where the railroads (BNSF, Sound Transit, and Amtrak), the
Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission can submit comments related to our application before
the FRA makes a determination.
Quiet Zone Timeline
Staff are also assembling a timeline for quiet zone actions. This will be presented at
the May 20, 2019 Public Works Committee.
