2022-2027 SIX.YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Introd uction
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). A major
update of the TMP was adopted on March 2, 2O2L Projects move from the TMP to
the TIp as priority projects, grants and other funding sources are identified. 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.
CITY OF KENT

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. There are a series of 7
maps. Figure 1 details the 6 subareas that were developed in the Transportation
Master Plan (TMP). Figures 2 through 7 detail the TIP projects by subarea'
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.OLO), The TIP represents an important planning component under the
State's Growth Management Act and 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 2OL5. 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.
Consequently, the ZOL2-ZOZ7 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 or
descriptions. Project limits are defined as changes to the starting or ending point of
the project,

This project is located within the Kent Manufacturing/Industrial
Center (MIC). The Kent MIC located between the ports of Seattle
and Tacoma supports significant regional growth and
development, with one of the highest concentrations of jobs in
the region. The asphalt pavement on S 212th Street has reached
a critical level of degradation, rated at 50 out of a possible 100
on the Pavement Condition Index--data collected in April of 2016'
The road surface is heavily impacted by the high percentage of
heavy vehicle traffic in the valley. An overlay is necessary to
prevent further costly damage that may require more extensive
reconstruction of the roadway to this critical multimodal freight,
bus, pedestrian and commuter corridor.

Auburn to Renton RapidRide Access Improvements
2022 (Preliminary Engineering started in 2019)
This project is to upgrade passenger facilities and increase access
to transit within Kent along the new King County Metro RapidRide
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 RapidRide 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. Design began in 2019, and construction is

The project is intended to make the intersection safer by
reducing westbound through lanes from two to one, so people
driving vehicles merge before the intersection rather than
merging after getting through. The curb bulbs will also help
make a more comfortable experience for pedestrians crossing
the intersection, which fits the overall Meet Me on Meeker vision
for the corridor. The project supports visitors to local
businesses, students at Kent Elementary School, nearby

76th Avenue S floods several times per year, resulting in road
closures. The roadway is 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 because of traffic detours around the
closure. Improving the road to current standards will also
improve traffic flow on 76th Avenue S'

commuters and commercial trucks. The S 2LZrh Street Bridge
spans the Green River. 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. In 2019, the average daily traffic (ADT) just
west of the bridge is 21,600 with 19olo trucks and an annual gross
tonnage of just under 14 million. The annual gross tonnage makes

The existing streets intersect at a sharp angle. Westbound Reith
Road and eastbound S 260th Street do not have separate left turn
pockets requiring the traffic signal to serve eastbound and
westbound traffic individually, This is a very inefficient operation.
Realigning the intersecting Streets to a lower intersecting angle
and including eastbound and westbound left turn pockets will
allow the signal to operate more efficiently. In addition, adding
a westbound right turn pocket will improve intersection
operations by allowing the heavy turning movement to occur
independent of the traffic signal.

not capable of operating FYLTA for permissive left turn
