BACKGROUND At the October 18, 2021 Council Meeting, $100,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding was allocated to the NTCP program for 2021 and an additional $400,000 was allocated for 2022. Staff are presenting a detailed update on the status of the program and proposed projects for 2021 and 2022. DISCUSSION Staff proposes to use the 2021 funding to make purchases of ten Radar Driver Feedback signs plus two portable Radar Driver Feedback signs, and two Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Crosswalk systems (RRFB). The radar signs wit be utilized at five locations on the NTCP priority list (typically one for each direction). The two portable radar signs will be used as temporary deployments as needed. The RRFB systems will be used at the two existing crosswalks on S.124th Street near the Tukwila Community Center (additional design and construction costs will be required in 2022 for the RRFB installation). For 2022, staff is still proposing to utilize the Top -10 NTCP Projects list (attached) to identify and implement traffic calming projects and treatments within the allocated funding. The top ten projects were discussed in the August 23, 2021 TISC meeting, and due to feedback from public comments an additional project was added — the Macadam Road South Sidewalk Improvements project. A grant application has been submitted to the Transportation Improvement Board's Sidewalk Program for funding for the Macadam Road South. Staff will continue to bring updates quarterly to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Addressing traffic safety concerns in Allentown is a top priority for the City. Study neighborhood -wide volume, speed, classification and safety issues. Design plan for Level 1 and Level 2 treatments throughout Allentown. Level 1: Improved signage; radar feedback signs; pavement marking modifications Level 2: Curb extensions $50,000-80,000 B Tukwila Elementary School Safety Since 2018, 12 traffic calming requests have been made in the Cascade View neighborhood, with a significant number of them near Tukwila Improvements Elementary School. Common complaints have been over speeding and crosswalk or pedestrian safety. Additionally, the Council has asked for proactively addressing or anticipating concerns, specifically around school zones. Some improvements have been made around Tukwila Elementary School already but more improvements are needed. Address speeding and crosswalk safety concerns. Level 1: Improved signage; radar feedback signs; pavement marking modifications $30,000-80,000 Level 2: Curb extensions; RRFB installation; ADA ramp upgrades; improved illumination C Impact Charter School Safety A request specific to the newly opened Impact Charter School was received in 2019. The request was to provide a signed school zone, which Improvements Tukwila has provided along with signs marking school crossings on 5 148th Street. ADA -compliant ramps have not been installed at the marked school crossings. The charter school has expanded their site to the north with a need for consideration of a school zone on S 146th Street and other potential improvements for children's safety. Additionally, the Council has asked for proactively addressing or anticipating concerns, specifically around school zones. Provide school crossing improvements, establish school zone on 5 146th Street, if needed. Provide school crossing improvements, observe operating speeds, if necessary establish speed zone. Level 1: Improved signage for school zones on 5 148th Street and 5 146th Street; crosswalk installation Level 2: ADA ramp improvements; curb extensions $8,000-15,000 D Cascade View Elementary School Safety Since 2018, the Tukwila Hill neighborhood has seen 9 requests for traffic calming. Four of the locations are around the speeding, school Improvements crossing and pedestrian safety around the Cascade View Elementary School. 85th Percentile speeds of —30MPH in the 25MPH zones have been recorded, but analysis to separate whether the speed'ng is even more than the posted school zone has not been done. Additionally, the Council has asked for proactively addressing or anticipating concerns, specifically around school zones. Upgrade School Zone signing, design and install pedestrian crossing improvements. Level 1: Improved signage for school zones on 5 148th Street and 5 146th Street; crosswalk installation $8,000-15,000 Level 2: ADA ramp improvements; curb extensions E Tukwila Community Center Pedestrian The City Council has expressed desire for the NTCP to have a proactive element in addressing traffic calming and safety needs throughout Crossing Safety Improvements the City. The TCC is a well -utilized facility by the Allentown neighborhood as well as the entire City and surrounding area. Concerns over the pedestrian crossings on 5 124th Street have been raised by staff and residents in the past, along with the larger complaints of speeding in Allentown. Increasing pedestrian visibility to improve safety in this high -use area is a recommended top priority for the NTCP. Design and install mid -block pedestrian safety improvements on 5 124th Street. Level 1: Improve pedestrian crossing signage Level 2: RRFB installations; upgrade ADA ramps; curb extensions; improved illumination $80,000-100,000 F Macadam Road Speed and Safety At least five requests for traffic calming, specific to speeding (and some secondary reasons) have been made since 2018. A radar feedback Improvements sign was placed near the 13700 block in 2019 but requests have continued to be made. Additional analysis is warranted to determine what other improvements could be used to address the speeding, especially where Macadam has extremely limited sight distance due to the curvy nature of the roadway. Design and install treatments addressing speeding and curve safety north of S 144th Street. Level 1: Improved signage; LED chevron signs; channelization modifications $10,000 - 30,000 Level 2: G Southcenter Boulevard/65th Avenue S Staff identified the need for improvement pedestrian safety at this location several years ago. Southcenter Boulevard is a 5 -lane roadway Pedestrian Safety Improvements with known speeding issues along with curves that restrict sight distance. A high pedestrian usage at this intersection accessing the King County Metro bus stop that services both the Rapid Ride F -Line and Route 150, both workhorses of the south County transit network, justifies improving pedestrian crossing safety. This intersection is slated for full signalization in the future, but interim pedestrian safety improvements should be considered sooner. Design and install pedestrian safety improvements Level 1: Improved signage for pedestrian crossing $50,000-$90,000 Level 2: RRFB installation; ADA ramp upgrades; improved illumination H City-wide Residential Speed Limit Review As part of the City Council's expressed desire to proactively look at traffic calming needs, a full review of the residential street posted speed limits is recommended by staff. State law establishes city speed limits at 25MPH unless an engineering study is completed to justify higher speed limits. Most residential streets are posted at 25MPH today, but there are many that are posted at 30MPH or 35MPH. Likely, those speed limits are legacies of past annexation areas, where a speed study was completed by King County. The general impression Staff has is that most residents and elected officials would be happier with lower speed limits. City of Seattle has also recently lowered all speed limits nearly city-wide to be 25MPH. Identify residential streets with speed limits currently above 25MPH. Conduct volume, speed and safety review. Level 1: Modify speed limit ordinance; as needed; install new signs; as needed. $5,000-8,000 Recommend changes to speed limits, as necessary. Level 2: I S Ryan Way Pedestrian Safety Two requests for traffic calming to address speeding and pedestrian crossing safety in the Ryan Hill area have been made in 2021. New Improvements developments are coming forward that will increase the residential population of this part of the City with multi family developments. The speed concerns, especially along S Ryan Way, coupled with the new housing developments increasing the likelihood of increased pedestrian activity, warrants this analysis be recommended as a top priority. Safety study on S Ryan Way from MLK Jr. Way to east city limits, focusing on speeding and pedestrian safety. Level 1: Improved signage Level 2: Curb extension, improved illumination $10,000-100,000 Recommend Level 1 and Level 2 improvements. Design and construct improvements. J 5 144th Street/46th Avenue S ADA Ramps The Tukwila School District requested school crossing safety improvements at this intersection in 2017. A new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon was installed in early 2019. At the time the RRFB was installed, the City was also submitting a grant application for the 46th Avenue S Safe Routes to School project, which would improve pedestrian safety between this intersection south to S 150th Street, and would include either a raised pedestrian crosswalk at the RRFB or install ADA -compliant curb ramps. The grant was not awarded. State law requires ADA ramps be brought up to current standards anytime a new signal, including the RRFB, is installed. Since grant monies for the larger improvement are not expected in the short term, staff recommends this as a priority to comply with all state and federal laws regarding Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Design and install ADA -compliant ramps at the intersection. Level 1: Level 2: ADA upgrades to ramps at RRFB (not done at time of RRFB installation due to budget constraints) $15,000-20,000 K PROPOSED The City's watermain replacement project along Macadam Road between Southcenter Boulevard and 5 144th Street has been on the City's Macadam Road S Watermain/Sidewalk work plan for several years. In 2020, staff was directed to design the sidewalks for the missing sections along the east side of the road. In Improvements Project summer of 2021, the City submitted an application to the Transportation Improvement Board Pedestrian Safety grant as a way to fund the construction of the sidewalks. Grant awards will be announced on or after November 19, 2021. The current plan is to advertise for construction on November 29, 2021 with construction to begin in 2022. If the grant is not awarded to the City, funding for the sidewalk construction is proposed to come from the 2022 NTCP budget. (Project added 11/2021) Construct new sidewalks to complete gaps in the system, including ADA compliant ramps at intersection Level 1: Level 2: Sidewalk construction with ADA compliant ramps $240,000-345,000 Total Cost Range $506,000 - 822,000 21 • Lake Washington .4k\,„1, Line N i S 200th St Lfes• 5204th St__=__=�._y• City of Tukwila S Not to Scale 8 Vicinity Map King County U:\PW Eng \GIS General Maps\Streets_11 x17_Sept2018.mxd Date: 09/09/18 By: R.
