Transportation Improvement Board Grant Application
ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of a grant application to the Washington State Transportation Improvement
Board (TIB) to fund the West Valley Hwy —1 -405 to Strander Blvd Street Project.
I -ax's] -" cei
TIB has issued a Call for Projects inviting qualified applicants to apply for available grant funds.
Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate Committee before applying for grants.
Grant applications are due by August 19, 2016.
DISCUSSION
The TIB program awards State funds for selected projects. TIB funding requires a minimum 20%
local match and utility undergrounding costs are not typically eligible.
City staff met with a TIB representative to discuss project criteria and to evaluate projects included
in the City's 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Completing the desired 7-lane
street section with sidewalks on both sides of West Valley Hwy from 1-405 to Strander Blvd
appears to be the most logical project for the City to submit for grant funding. Completing the West
Valley Hwy street section would coincide with non-motorized street improvements that were funded
to connect the new TUC Pedestrian/ Bicycle Bridge to Tukwila Station.
FISCAL IMPACT
The West Valley Hwy Project is included on the City's traffic impact fee list and local matching
funds would be provided from a combination of traffic impact fees collected and arterial street
funds, if a State TIB grant is awarded.
RECOMMENDATION
Transportation Committee approval to submit a 2016 grant application to the Washington State
Transportation Improvement Board for the West Valley Hwy Street Project.
