Goal 13.3 Level- of-Service
Trfficlevels =of- service that provide safe and efficient movement
of people, bikes, cars and buses and incorporate evolving land
use and traffic atterns.
Policies
13.3.1 In general. Level of Service Standards shall vary by differing levels of development patterns. desired character
of streets. and growth manaaement objectives. Use the following LOS standards to guide City improvement and
development approval decisions:
The Tukwila Urban Center corridor average is not to exceed LOS E, except for the Strander Boulevard and a portion of
the Andover Park E corridor. Methodology for computing the average LOS is described in the Comprehensive
Transportation Plan and is updated annually in the Concurrency Ordinance.
The Strander Boulevard corridor average is not to exceed LOS F with an average delay not to exceed 120 seconds.
The Andover Park E, between Tukwila Parkway and Strander Boulevard, is not to exceed LOS F with an average
delay not to exceed 120 seconds.
All other non residential arterial intersections are not to exceed LOS E.
The LOS of minor and collector arterials in predominantly residential areas is not to exceed LOS D for each specific
arterial.
West Valley Highway (SR 181), as a state highway of regional significance, is not to exceed LOS E /Mitigated, as
defined by PSRC
SR 599, as a state highway of regional significance, is not to exceed LOS E /Mitigated, as defined by PSRC

Policies
13.4.5Continue to encourage the use of rideshare, transit, bicycle, and evolving
technological transportation improvements.
13:4.6Continue to support, participate in, and encourage the development and
implementation of regional /rapid rail with service to the Tukwila Urban Center,
and other emerging efficient- capacity technologies that will serve people traveling
to, from, and within Tukwila.
13.4.7Support and encourage the extension of regional fight rail facilities to serve
the Urban Center. The preferred route can be conceptually described as running
South from the vicinity of 1 -405, to a station located east of Southcenter Mall and
west of the eastern edge of Andover Park West and in proximity to the TUC
Transit Center, then turning east running adjacent to or parallel to Strander
Boulevard, across West Valley Highway and north to a second station adjacent to
the Tukwila Sounder Station at Longacres.

'Efficient transit capacity that will reduce single- occupancy vehicle trips to, from, and through
Tukwila and provide public transportation for Tukwila residents who depend on it
Policies
13.4.11 Establish mode -split goals for all significant employment centers which will vary
according to development densities, access to transportation service and levels of
congestion.
13.4.12 The development of any Tight rail or commuter rail system should meet the
following objectives:
Any commuter or light rail system serving Tukwila, Seattle, South King County and /or Sea -Tac
Airport should be located in a manner which promotes the coordinated short -term and long-term use of
alternative transportation systems, such as carpools, buses, commuter rail, and light rail.
Such' systems shall be located so as to allow for future extensions to commuter and /or light rail
service to East King County and Southeast King County.
Such systems shall be located in a manner that serves the Tukwila Urban Center and the Tukwila
Multi -modal Center, so as to encourage the development of these Centers in the manner
contemplated by this Plan and the Countywide Planning Policies.

ou h grants mitigations, general funds, and other sources for
Safety and capacity measures to maintain adopted LOS standards.
Policies
13.7.1 Continue to pursue grants.
13.7.2 Use an impact fee system that identifies:

Costs to be shared between new development and existing users.
Impact Fee assessments, determined by the number of new development trips in the p.m. peak
hour.
Additional mitigation, in accordance with the Concurrency Ordinance when development affects
locations not meeting Concurrency standards.
