2O2O-2O25 SIX.YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
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 sixyears' The TIP also includes ongoing citywide transpoftation 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 eachproject 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
poftion 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.
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
CIry OF KENT
2O2O.2O25 SIX.YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
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.
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.0L0). 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 2020-2025 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.

Green River Valley floor. To meet transportation concurrency requirements of the
Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is required.
Intersections along South 208th/2L2th Street and James/Southeast 240th Streets
are at or over capacity, Because of existing development and topographic
constraints, it is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 24}th Street and South

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 #27= Panther Lake Signal System Integration
YEAR:
DESCRIPTION:
202r
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 traffic signal controllers to
allow integration with the new central traffic signal control
system and operating Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows (FYLTA).
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering.....,.,.$50,000
Right of Way Acquisition $0
Construction $35o,ooo
TOTAL . $4OO,OOO
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 operating 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,

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 #3O: Central Avenue
YEAR:
DESCRIPTION:
Traffic Signal Communication
202r
The project will implement the communication connection
between the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) rail
corridor and the traffic signals along Central Avenue 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 2l2th
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 traffic signal control.
Additional signals adjacent to at-grade rail crossings may also be
upgraded to take advantage of the new communication
connections,

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 2l2th 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 60 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.
