Item 4: Information Only/Sound Transit 3 Candidate Projects
Summary: Sound Transit is evaluating candidate projects for the next set of
regional high-capacity transit investments. Each candidate project is described in a
report, which includes a description, budget and evaluation measures. Over the next
several months, the Sound Transit Board will use these reports to develop Sound
Transit 3 (ST3), a proposal of capital projects and services that will be sent to voters
in November.
Several candidate projects could be significant for Kent. Some of these are deferred
projects from Sound Transit 2 that will be implemented more quickly if they are
included in a successful ST3 package. These deferred projects are the Kent Sounder
Station access improvements (including a parking garage), platform extensions for
the South Sounder stations and the extension of Link light rail to South 272nd
Street. New projects of interest include additional South Sounder service and a
regional system access program to improve non-motorized facilities at Sound Transit
stations.
Sound Transit staff will be available at the January 11, 2016, meeting to discuss
these projects and answer questions about ST3.

Item 6: Information Only/James Street Pump Station Update
Summary: The City’s James Street Stormwater Pump Station is located just north
of James Street near Woodford Ave North. This pump station cannot keep up with
existing flows on James Street and needs to be replaced. A new pump station will
help alleviate local flooding of James Street at Mill Creek. The improvements are
being built in phases. The first two phases of this project included construction of
stormwater force main piping along Central Avenue to the Horseshoe Acres Pump
Station. This final phase will include the pump station and connection to the existing
main.
Staff will provide the Committee an update on the project status.
Exhibits: None
Budget Impact: Funding for this project is from the Storm Drainage Utility.
