Amount requested is $2,582,900. The overall project cost is <br />$17,455,900, which includes the Ped Bridge ($10.7M), Baker Boulevard Non -Motorized <br />Improvements ($1M), West Valley Highway Project ($3.8M). <br />Sound Transit has confirmed that both projects meet eligibility requirements and the city can <br />submit an application for these projects by April 12, 2019. Following an evaluation by Sound <br />Transit staff and an open public comment period, the Sound Transit Board will select projects to <br />receive System Access Funds in mid-2019. <br />Sound Transit will evaluate applications based on how projects address the following policy and <br />technical factors. <br />• Policy factors <br />o Customer experience — How will the project make it easier and more convenient <br />for riders to connect to stations? <br />o Equity — Will the project improve connections for people who rely on transit? <br />o Safety & Human Health — How will the project improve safety for riders and <br />provide opportunities for active travel? <br />o Connectivity — How will the project improve connections between the station and <br />neighborhoods and activity centers (jobs, schools, community services, etc.)? <br />• Technical factors <br />o Funding plan — Does the applicant have all funding necessary to deliver the <br />project or a realistic plan to do so? <br />o Delivery plan — Does the applicant have a realistic plan to deliver the project by <br />their proposed completion date? <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />n/a <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approval to apply for System Access Funds for non -motorized connections to Tukwila <br />International Boulevard Station and Tukwila Station. <br />32 <br />
