I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution: 2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution to adopt the annual update of the Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2019-2024. The TIP is a compilation of transportation
projects planned within the next six years that are deemed regionally significant or that have grant
funding prospects. This update includes the addition of the 42nd Avenue South Bridge Replacement
Project, 46th Avenue South Safe Routes to School, Green River Trail, Macadam Road Complete Streets,
South 152nd Street Safe Routes to School, TIB Retrofit, and West Valley Highway/Longacres Way Shared
Use Pathways. Completed projects have been deleted, and the Walk & Roll Program has been moved
to beyond. The TIP is required by the State, but the City's biennial Capital Improvement Program
should be considered the main guiding document for projects. Councilmember Idan requested to be
briefed on projects where grant funding was unsuccessful, and staff agreed to include those in future
presentations. The Committee also requested a briefing on the status of the BNSF Regional Center
Access project. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 25, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FOR PUBLIC HEARING.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Crosswalks & Stop Signs
The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee has requested briefings on the cost and implementation
strategy for traffic calming measures such as crosswalks and stop signs. A more detailed discussion is
scheduled for June, but as an introduction staff passed out a memo presented to the Transportation
Committee dated November 1, 2016 on the same topic. Staff also shared 2018 cost estimates, a
publication from the City of Delaware, Ohio on neighborhood speed enforcement, and the City ofTukwila's
Traffic Calming Program, which is currently unbudgeted. Councilmember Quinn said that he is interested
in the Committee working with staff to build a stronger process to implement traffic calming.
Councilmember Idan requested information on the cost of removing temporary speed cushions.
