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, 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 CITY OF KENT EXHIBIT ''A'' 2O2L-2O26 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). 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 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. Consequently, the 2OZL-2Q26 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 corridor is heavily used by commuters and commercial trucks. The S. 2L2th 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 was 21,600 with 19olo trucks and an annual gross tonnage of just under 14 million. The annual gross tonnage makes the roadway a T-1 freight route on the WSDOT Freight and Goods Transportation System (FGTS). Due to heavy vehicular and truck traffic, the deck surface substantially delaminated and spalled to the point that repairs were required in the summer of 2019. The S. 2L2th Street Bridge has stringer supports with attached existing city utilities (8" sanitary sewer force main and 8" water main) and private utilities below the roadway decking that services businesses and residents on either side of the Green River in the City of Kent.

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.
