INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director 4 0

DATE: June 1, 2012
SUBJECT: TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge Tukwila MIC "Street Smart" Non Motorized
Project No. 98810404 New Project
WSDOT Pedestrian Bicycle Grant Program Applications
ISSUE
Grant applications to the WSDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Program.
BACKGROUND
The WSDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Program has a current call for grant applications, which are due
on June 30, 2012. Staff is proposing to submit for two projects: ROW acquisition associated with the
TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge (PW lead) and a Study /Preliminary Engineering for the Tukwila
Manufacturing "Street Smart" Non Motorized Project; specifically a Boeing Access Road Corridor
Study project (DCD lead).
DISCUSSION
This grant program has been modified significantly from past practice and it is unknown what kind of
project will be successful. It is estimated that $8 -10 million will be available state -wide for this
program.
The Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge requires acquisition of one full property (single family home at 16113
W Valley Highway, Parcel #0005800033) and a partial acquisition of a second property (Riverview
Plaza office building at 16040 Christensen Road, Parcel #2523049039 and #2523049077) along
with the loss of 27 parking stalls. Permanent easements from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) are also
expected as this project crosses over the SPU 60 -inch water main ROW. The WSDOT grant
application is for $870,000 to acquire the necessary ROW.
The Tukwila MIC "Street Smart" Non Motorized Project are for improvement options between 51
Ave S and E Marginal Way. The Boeing Access Road Corridor Study will be done concurrent with
the Boeing Access Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project. Committee approval was given on May 21,
2012 to also submit this same project for the Countywide Congestion, Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) grant process which is currently ongoing. The WSDOT grant will be submitted for $200,000
to cover the estimated cost of the BAR Corridor Study. The 2013 2018 Six Year Transportation
Improvement Plan will include this as a new project.
If successful, funds would be available in June, 2013. No City match is required for these grants.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval to submit both grant applications to the WSDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle
Program for the TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge and the Tukwila MIC "Street Smart" Non Motorized
Project.
