To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director
Date: August 22, 2007
Subject: Grant Applications for Transportation Improvement Board Funding
ISSUE
Grant application status for the Transportation Improvement Board August 31 deadline.
BACKGROUND
Project grant applications to be considered for Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
funding are due August 31, 2007. Past grants that remain un- obligated and unspent
include:
Southcenter Parkway Extension $5,000,000
Tukwila Int'l Blvd. Phase 2 $4,200,000
Tukwila Urban Center Access $5,000.000
Total $14,200,000
ACTION TAKEN
The following projects are recommended for future grant applications:
S 144 St Phase 2 Tukwila Int'l Blvd. to 42 Ave S
Interurban Ave S S 143 St to Fort Dent Way
Tukwila Int'l Blvd Phase 4 Boeing Access Road to S 116 Way
53 Ave S S 144 St to S 137 St (From Residential Improvements Sheet 3 of CIP)
Discussions with TIB staff suggest that the current amount of TIB funds awarded, but un-
obligated and unspent make it very unlikely that new funding will be awarded to new
Tukwila projects at this time. The ability to show progress with the currently awarded
funds will increase the City's chances of future grants.
RECOMMENDATION
Postpone submitting any new grant applications for TM funding until 2008.
