Contact Information .............................................................................................. .38 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2005-2010 PURPOSE Mandated by State Law State law requires that each city develop a local Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and that it be annually updated (RCW 35.77.010). Projects must be included in the TIP in order for cities to compete for transportation funding grants from most Federal and State sources. Federal grant funded and regionally significant projects from the first three years of the City's TIP are included in the Regional TIP, which is assembled by the Puget Sound Regional Council for King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. The regional TIPs (RTIP) from around the state are then combined to form the State TIP (STIP), which is approved by the Governor and then submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Authority for their review and approval. What is the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)? 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. It represents Kent's current complete list of needed projects for 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 while projects in the last three years may be only partially funded at this time. Development of the Six-Year TIP is an On-Going Process Within the Public Works Department, Transportation Planning works with engineers and engineering managers in Design, Construction, Transportation, Project Management, Accounting, and Maintenance and Operations to identify and prioritize transportation improvement projects. TIP project and fmancial development also involve interactions with many groups and agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels such as those involving King County Metro Transit, Sound Transit, the Washington Transportation Plan, Destination 2030, and coordinating with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads. Within the City of Kent, there are actions and interactions involving other departments and divisions, the private sector, and the City Council and the Administration which influence the direction of the transportation program. iil For example, the transportation program is impacted by land use decisions and private development proposals such as the Kent Station development in the downtown urban center which will increase transportation demand by making possible higher density and a significant intensity of land uses. Such proposals need to be monitored and analyzed in regard to how they individually and collectively create the need for transportation improvements. Transportation Planning attempts to anticipate such increases in transportation system demand through periodic updates to the Kent Transportation Planning Model. By entering all known private and public development projects into the model as well as additions to the transportation system on a systematic basis, the model inputs can be modified to represent future conditions, making it possible to project future traffic volumes. This gives transportation planners and engineers the ability to determine the impact of different roadway or land use scenarios on the traffic network. This, in turn, helps decision makers evaluate the economic merits of competing potential capital improvements as far as 15 years into the future. Finally, with its heavy dependence on many different and unpredictable sources of outside funding and with the impacts created by on-going local, regional and state-wide decisions, transportation project development is a continuous activity comprised of land use development, environmental regulations, legislative politics, and financial constraints. Structure of the Program The 2005-20 I 0 Six-Year Transportation Program is divided into three general sections. The first section covers Projects 1-17. These are projects which are currently underway or expected to be underway by the end of2005. The second section covers Projects 18-31. These are projects which are expected to begin in 2006 or later. The details of these projects will become more defmed both in scope and fmancial partnership positions as the construction dates approach. The third section, Projects 32-35, are ongoing city-wide projects or programs in which the City is making continuous improvements and enhancements.

Volumes are such that it is necessary to operate the signal to serve only one approach at a time. This project widens each approach to provide for a separate left turn pocket with appropriate storage. This allows a much more efficient operation of the signal at this intersection, and significantly enhances the traffic signal progression along both of these heavily traveled arterial corridors.

The congestion on SR 167 resulting from inadequate capacity creates spill- over congestion onto Kent arterials and jeopardizes the future of our local and regional economy. Kent is the second largest warehouse/distribution center on the west coast, containing over 40 million square feet of warehouse/industrial space. Many Kent businesses ship to national and international customers and need reliable travel time to the ports. With the planned extension of SR 167 to the Port of Tacoma and the planned completion of SR 509 connecting Kent to the Port of Seattle, this project would complete the freight corridor, shifting thousands of trucks every day from 1-5 and SR 18 to the Valley Freeway.

Sound Transit and King County Metro Transit have major park and ride facilities in the area, with over 1,200 parking stalls. Transit and HOV traffic would be able to turn onto South 272nd Street from I-5 without weaving through traffic on I-5. The project also includes reconstruction of approximately one-half mile of Northbound I-5. The improvements would be constructed to match projects on South 272nd Street that would be built between Pacific Highway South (SR 99) and Military Road.

The new interchange will provide needed capacity through the year 2030. The reconstruction will also allow Sound Transit and King County Metro Transit to operate efficiently through the Star Lake and Redondo Heights Park and Ride lots.

Routes 914/916 serve the Kent Transit Center, the Regional Justice Center, Kent City Hall, Green River Community College's Kent campus, and local shopping and medical facilities. Route 918 service includes the Kent Transit Center, Green River Community College's Kent campus, Regional Justice Center, and the manufacturing and industrial area in the valley. The City plans to add two new routes to demonstrate the value of circulator transit service connecting the residential areas of the east and west hills with the regional bus and commuter train services at the downtown Kent Transit Center.

FUNDING SOURCE (S): King County, City of Kent, ITS PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The Shopper Shuttle provides mobility and independence to many of the city's seniors and reduces the need for expensive Access service for many wheelchair lift service trips. It addresses a significant transit market that may not be able to use the county's more traditional routes and encourages community participation of all citizens without the isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip. Commuter Shuttles enhance the regional transit and 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 vehicle at home, avoiding the cold start impacts to air quality, and reducing congestion on local streets.
