developed a leak that has allowed groundwater to enter the METRO system. The result of
this leak is the loss of fine soil particles near the pipe, resulting in a dip in the roadway.
City staff is coordinating with King County METRO staff on repair of the METRO pipe and
related surface repairs to fix the roadway. We are currently assessing the area to ensure
the pipe repairs have eliminated further damage to the roadway and discussing when and
how to complete roadway repairs. Staff will return to the Committee when more
information is available.
7. Information Only - 228th Street Corridor Union Pacific Railroad Overpass
Update on the Right of Way Acquisition
Christina Schuck, City Attorney, noted that staff is still working on acquiring the last
property.
8. Information Only/Residential Parking Ordinance Update
Rob Brown, Transportation Engineer presented additional information for the committee
on the following locations:
Kentridge High School Neighborhood:
Rob Brown noted that we inherited some parking zones from King County when Panther
Lake was annexed in 2010. Staff found documentation that the parking zones were
established by King County’s Traffic Engineer. We now have the 3 ordinances that were
passed on to us by King County. Staff is going through the ordinances to establish what
the next steps will be. Staff will look into reusing the existing signs.
Mill Creek Neighborhood –
Tim LaPorte noted that he had a discussion with the Police Chief regarding parking
enforcement. The City is looking into electronic monitoring of vehicles for parking
enforcement. Police are concerned they will not be able to meet expectations if this
ordinance was established. This item will be tabled until more information can be
gathered.
Staff will come back to committee at a future meeting.
9. Sewer Connection Ordinance – Information Only
Tim LaPorte noted that the city currently has an existing sewer connection ordinance and
that there are about 400 residents within city limits that are not connected to sewer. The
Kent city code requires that residents connect if they are within 200 feet and that the
Public Works Director can waive or decide when to apply it. The state auditor suggested
that we clarify the code.
10. Information Only/Quiet Zone Update
Chad Bieren, Deputy Director / City Engineer noted that Rob Brown and Kelly Peterson
spent a day last week with Burlington Northern staff looking at possible locations for
fencing through downtown along the tracks. The meeting also included a broader range of
improvements for the Quiet Zone and also a railroad repair on 84th Avenue S near 212th
that we are trying to get Burlington Northern to reconstruct.
Adjournment: At 4:50 p.m., Committee Chair Higgins declared the meeting adjourned.

MOTION: Move to recommend the Public Works Committee forward the
Draft 2019-2024 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to
the city council and set a public hearing for June 5, 2018.
SUMMARY: The Draft 2019-2024 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

DRAFT 2019-2024 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 included in the plan are those that are considered to be regionally
significant.
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 capital 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 capital 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.
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.

DRAFT 2019-2024 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
CITY OF KENT iv
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 2019-2024 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. Capital Streets Projects that do not have any
identified funding sources have been removed from the plan. Projects and programs
were reclassified where appropriate.

CITY OF KENT 1
Project Descriptions
PROJECT #1: South 224th Street Extension (Phase I)
84th Avenue South to 88th Avenue South
YEAR: 2019
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 .... $3,440,000
Right of Way Acquisition ... $1,350,000
Construction ................ $18,050,000
TOTAL ........................ $22,840,000
Secured Funding ............ $22,840,000
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. 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 also 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 accommodate forecast traffic
volumes without additional east-west capacity.

PROJECT #4: Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows
North Industrial Valley
YEAR: 2019
DESCRIPTION: Purchase and install five traffic signal cabinets, 34 controllers
and applicable communications capable of supporting flashing
yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA) displays 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.

Project Descriptions
CITY OF KENT 8
PROJECT #8: South 224th Street Extension (Phase II)
88th Avenue South to 94th Place South
YEAR: 2019
DESCRIPTION: Construct a three-lane road from 88th Avenue South to 94th
Place South, including a new bridge over Garrison Creek. 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
will begin in 2018.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,020,000
Right of Way Acquisition ... $1,160,000
Construction ................ $11,490,000
TOTAL ........................ $13,670,000
Secured Funding .............. $8,000,000
FUNDING
SOURCE(S): City of Kent (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 also 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 accommodate forecast traffic
volumes without additional east-west capacity.

PROJECT #9: Railroad Quiet Zone for Downtown Urban Center
Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads
YEAR: 2019
DESCRIPTION: Establish a railroad quiet zone for the Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Railway (BNSF) tracks and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)
tracks through the City. The grade crossings to be included in
the quiet zone on the BNSF railroad mainline are: South 259th
Street, Willis Street, Titus Street, Gowe Street, Meeker Street,
Smith Street, James Street, and South 212th Street. The grade
crossings included in the quiet zone for the UPRR mainline
tracks are: Willis Street (State Route 516), West Smith Street,
West Meeker Street, West James Street and South 212th Street.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $220,000
Right of Way Acquisition ........ $80,000
Construction .................. $2,850,000
TOTAL .......................... $3,150,000
Secured Funding .............. $3,150,000
FUNDING
SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax), Washington Utilities
and Transportation Commission
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Locomotive engineers begin sounding the train-mounted horn
approximately a quarter mile from the intersection of a
highway/railroad 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 #14: Panther Lake Signal System Integration
YEAR: 2020
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 controllers to ones
capable of working with the new central traffic signal control
system and displaying 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 displaying 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: 2020
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 south and north side of East James Street,
improving mobility and safety for these users.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $713,000

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 #17: 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
Auburn to Renton Rapid Ride corridor expected to open in
2021/2022. This project will improve access to transit and
passenger amenities throughout the new Rapid Ride corridor.
Improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities, shelter
improvements, real time arrival information, lighting, off-board
payment kiosks, and other transit facility improvements will
increase safety 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 State Route 515 corridor to Renton, with over
seven miles of the corridor within the City.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,875,000
Equipment ...................... $2,500,000
Construction ................... $5,625,000
TOTAL ........................ $10,000,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
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.

CITY OF KENT 18
PROJECT #18: Central Avenue
Traffic Signal Communication
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: The project will implement the required detection and
communication networks along the Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Railway (BNSF) rail corridor 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 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
Equipment ......................... $250,000
Construction ................... $3,562,000
TOTAL .......................... $5,000,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
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 70 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.

DESCRIPTION: Construct drainage and road improvements on 76th Avenue
South from the 22400 block to the 21700 block. The project will
include raising the existing road; 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” on this segment of 76th
Avenue South.

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 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.

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 also 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 accommodate forecast traffic
volumes without additional east-west capacity.

DATE: May 21, 2018
TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Public Works Operations
SUBJECT: Information Only/Public Works Week
SUMMARY: Kent Public Works Department – Bringing our City to life.
The City of Kent will celebrate National Public Works Week at a free, open-to-the-
public, event Thursday, May 31 from 10 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at Accesso ShoWare
Center.
This annual event is a celebration of the thousands of men and women in America
who provide and maintain the infrastructure and services that we all use every day,
collectively known as public works.
The focus of the event is to energize and educate the public on the contributions
Public Works Departments and their employees make to improve the quality of life
in our communities. In Kent and throughout the country Public Works touches a
wide array of services, from cleaning and greening our neighborhoods to
maintaining our river levees, paving our roads and building sidewalks, keeping our
water and sewer systems working, designing and managing building projects and
training our residents for jobs in the trades.
2018 marks our fifth year offering this free and educational event. We are
expecting 300 to 500 students from area schools to attend this year’s event.
