<br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
<br />TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
<br />FROM: Robin Tischmak, Acting Public Works Director
<br />BY: Cyndy Knighton, Senior Program Manager
<br />CC: Mayor Ekberg
<br />DATE: January 19, 2018
<br />SUBJECT: West Valley Highway (1-405 to Strander Blvd)
<br />Project No. 99310410
<br />Transportation Improvement Board Grant Award and Acceptance
<br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor
<br />ISSUE
<br />Formal City acceptance of a Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant in the amount of $2,434,380 which
<br />has been awarded to the West Valley Highway (1-405 to Strander Blvd) Project.
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />In July 2017, Council authorized staff to submit a grant application to the Washington State TIB for design and construction of the
<br />West Valley Highway Project. The grant application was successful, and funds are available once the City and TIB ratify the attached
<br />agreement. According to CIP Policy #12, staff must get approval from the full Council before accepting grants.
<br />DISCUSSION
<br />The project will design and construct the missing northbound through lane, complete the gaps in sidewalk on the east side, widen
<br />sidewalks on the west side from the new TUC Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge to Longacres Way, and install a pedestrian activated signal
<br />across West Valley Highway (pending WSDOT approval). Completing these improvements prior to the Strander Boulevard Extension
<br />Phase 3 being completed is important to support the overall mobility of the corridor. This project will ensure capacity is available for
<br />the new traffic volumes coming from Strander Boulevard, while providing a safe crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists.
<br />FISCAL IMPACT
<br />According to the terms of the TIB grant, Tukwila must certify full funding by November 17, 2018 or the grant may be terminated. The
<br />City's matching amount of $1,338,240 is through a combination of funding sources. A CMAQ grant awarded to Tukwila (via King
<br />County) of $484,800 for design and construction of sidewalks on West Valley Highway, $531,000 of general revenue, and $250,000
<br />of impact fee revenue. Not all of the City matching funds are currently shown in the CIP as available, but instead require amending
<br />the CIP to allocate $200,000 shown in the "Beyond" years into 2018/2019.
