BACKGROUND The 42nd Ave S Bridge is a critical link to the Allentown neighborhood and is the primary access route in and out of the BNSF intermodal yard. The replacement of this structure is a high priority for the City; however, grant funding is needed to complete this project. The City applied for state funding to replace the bridge in 2017 and 2019 through federally supported grants programs, but was unsuccessful in these requests. In 2020, the City approved $1.078 million in funding to begin the 30% design for the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement. The City has an additional $2.942 million in Solid Waste Utility Tax budgeted for this project. In 2021, the City received $1.5 million in federal funding from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to complete the design phase and $12 million from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Local Bridge Program, which can support all phases of the 42nd Ave S Bridge replacement. The 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement Project is estimated to be approximately $4-9 million short of being fully funded, depending on which bridge replacement option is selected. The City continues to apply for local, state, and federal funding opportunities to fill this funding gap. DISCUSSION On February 1, 2022, the United State Department of Transportation (USDOT) opened their call for project for RAISE grant funding. The RAISE program is a federal funding source that supports road, rail, transit, and port infrastructure projects that have local and regional impacts. The deadline to apply for funding is April 14, 2022.

This grant requires a 20% local City match of $2,107,250. The match would be covered by the Solid Waste Utility Tax budgeted for this project.
