II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Annual Update to Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program 2012 -2017
Staff is seeking Council adoption, via resolution, of the 2012 -2017 Six -Year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The TIP is a list of regionally significant transportation projects that have grant funding
potential. This list does not commit the City to implement or construct any project.
An annual update to the TIP is required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). This annual rolling
program is generally modified to reflect the City's CIP, as the two are updated at different times of the year.
Differences between the two plans are often based on and reflective of the time between the adoptions of
each document as well as changes in priority and funding availability
There are no additions to the 2012 -2017 TIP; however, the Southcenter Parkway Extension and Tukwila
Urban Center Access (Klickitat) projects will be deleted as they are under construction and no future grant
funding will be sought. Committee Member Duffie suggested that 53 Avenue South be added as it is a
safety issue for schoolchildren (which is listed as the first project under Residential Improvements, page 5,
2011 CIP). Robin Tischmak stated that 53r Avenue South is mistakenly classified on the State's maps and
Cyndy Knighton will research if 53r Avenue South could possibly receive grant funding. A public hearing
is scheduled for the June 20 Regular meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 13
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
III. SCATBd
There was no SCATBd Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting last week (this has been the 4`" month of
cancellations). SCATBd staff also did not complete the minutes as King County staff changes have caused
SCATBd to be a lower priority. INFORMATION ONLY.
