Contact Information ...................................................................... .39 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2006-2011 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). It also reqUires that projects be mcluded m the TIP in order for cities to compete for transportation f\mdmg grants from most Federal and Stak sources. Federal grant funded and regiOnally stgnificant projects from the frrst three years of the City's TIP are submitted to the Regional TIP, wluch is assembled by the Puget Sound Regional Council for King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomtsh Countles. The regional TIPs (RTTP) 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 Admimstratwn and Federal Transit Authonty for their revtew and approval. What is the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)? The Six-Year Transportahon Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range platming document that ts annually updated based on needs and pohcies Identified through a variety of sources. It represents Kent's current complete hst 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 ate shown as having seemed fundmg while proJects in the last three years can be partially or completely unfUI1ded. Since federal and state fut1dmg cat1 onl:y be awarded to projects Jfthey are included in at! adopted TIP, the City lists some potential projects m the Ctiy's TIP. Once a project is listed in the City's TIP, it becomes eligible for inclusiOn m the Ctty's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which is updated as patt of the City's budget process. Development of the Six-Year TIP is an On-Going Process TIP project and financial development involve interactions with many groups and agencies at the local, regtonal, state and federal levels Public Works Engineering Design, Traffic Engmeenng, Transportation Planning, and Accounting all contribute to the process On-gomg transportation plannmg activities, such as updating the Transportation Element and traffic model, coordinating with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the development of sub-area platts, such as the Downtown Strategic Actlon Plan, and the Kent StatiOn Plan. play an tmportant part in identifying and prioritlZlng transportation improvement projects State and regional transportation projects also play an Important role such as those involving King County Metro Transit, Sound Transit, the Washington Transportation Plan, DestinatiOn 2030, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Umon Pacific Ra1lroads. Within the City of Kent, there are actions and mteractions involving other departments and divisions, the private sector, and the City Council and Administration wh1ch strongly influence the direction of the transportation program. For example, the transportation program is significantly impacted by land use deciswns, pnvate development proposals and by public water and sewer extensrons wh!Ch mcrease transportal! on demand by making possrble hrgher dens1ty and/or mtenstly ofland uses. Such proposals need to be morutored and analyzed m regard to how they individually and collectJvely create the need for transportation Improvements. At the City, State and Federal level there are new laws and regulations that create the need for new or d1fferent kinds of transportation projects and programs. Examples include the Transportation Efficiency Act (TEA-21), the Growth Management Act, the Clean Air Act, the Commute Trip Reduction Law. the Endangered Species Act and the Surface Water Management Ordmance All of these laws have tremendous impacts on the development and costs of transportation proJects. With its heavy dependence on many different and unpredictable sources of outside funding and with the significant impacts created by on-going local, regional and state-wide decrsions, transportation project development is a continuous activtty comprised of land use development, financial, environmental, legislative, regulative, economic, political, visionary, and practical elements Structure of the Program The 2006-2011 Stx-Year Transportation Program is divided into three general sections. The first section covers Projects 1-14. These are projects which are currently underway or expected to be underway by the end of 2006. The second section covers Projects 15·34. These are projects which are expected to begin m 2007 or later. The th1rd section, Projects 35-38, are ongoing city-wide projects or programs in which the City is makmg contmuous 1mprovcments and enhancements. h CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2006-2011 Project Number 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
