Pedestrian and Bicycle Program & Safe Routes to School Grant Applications
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of grant applications for two Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Active
Transportation Division grant programs - the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (PBP) and Safe Routes to School
(SRTS).
BACKGROUND
Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program: A Transportation Study was conducted in Allentown to evaluate existing
conditions, vehicle volumes and speeds, signage, and five years of historical crash data. The study recommends a
comprehensive approach to a variety of improvements to potentially improve safety, calm traffic, and enhance
pedestrian mobility.
S 152nd Street Safe Routes to School: The S 152nd Street SRTS project will design new curb, gutter, and
sidewalks along the stretch of road between Tukwila International Boulevard and 42nd Avenue S. On -street parking,
landscaping, amenities, and wayfinding may also be included after reaching out to the neighborhood to solicit
preferences. Design for the project is currently in progress and anticipated to be completed in 2023.
DISCUSSION
The WSDOT Active Transportation Division has issued a call for projects inviting applicants to submit projects for
funding through the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (PBP) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS). Grant applications
are due by May 30, 2023 for the PBP and June 6, 2022 for the SRTS. WSDOT typically issues a call for projects for
these two fund sources every -other year.
Staff recommends the City submit applications for two projects: 1) construction of traffic calming improvements in the
Allentown neighborhood and 2) construction of the S 152nd Street Safe Routes to School Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding from PBP and SRTS grants will be available in July 2023. There is no match required for these grants, but
preference will be given to projects that provide some match, if the project exceeds $800,000.
The traffic calming improvements for the Allentown neighborhood are estimated to cost approximately $500,000 and
will not require a match. The construction of the S 152nd Street SRTS project is estimated to cost $3,000,000. A City
match of $250,000 for the S 152nd Street project is recommended to be competitive. The 2022 project budget of
$260,000 is sufficient to cover the match.
