BACKGROUND The Green River Trail Improvements Project is the final section of a larger vision to provide safe and equitable access for pedestrians and cyclists from Tukwila Station to the Tukwila Transit Center and greater Southcenter District. This project aligns with other bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects, including the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Pedestrian - Bicycle Bridge Project, which was completed in 2016; and the related Baker Boulevard Non -Motorized Improvements Project, which was completed in 2018. Due to funding constraints, the construction of the Green River Trail Project was never completed. DISCUSSION TAP grant funding is available every other year for cities and counties to build bicycle, pedestrian, and other community- based transportation improvements in the region. On March 25, 2022, the PSRC provided the City with notice of award for $989,000 in TAP grant funding for the construction phase of the Green River Trail Improvements project. TAP grant funding will complete the final segment of the Green River Trail Improvements project, which intersects with Christensen Road. The project will widen and pave 700 feet of trail, construct a new pedestrian plaza, and add way -finding signs to major destinations, illumination, and security cameras. The project is fully designed and permitted, and the grant funds will be used exclusively for construction related activities. The Green River Trail project permits were combined with the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Pedestrian -Bicycle Bridge Project and are set to expire at the end of year. Construction must be completed by the end of 2022, or new permits will be required, which would increase the project budget and significantly extend the project timeline. Staff will obligate funds to begin construction in August to meet project completion goals. FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost to complete the Green River Trail Improvements project is $1,297,000, which is based off the most recent Engineer's Estimate. The Puget Sound Regional Council is awarding the City $989,000 and the City match required to complete the project is $308,000. The 2021-2022 project budget is sufficient to cover the match. Cost Estimate 2021-2022 Project Budget TAP Grant Award $989,000 $308,000 City Match 308,000 Project Total $1,297,000 RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to formally accept the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) Grant Award with the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) in the amount of $989,000 for the Green River Trail Improvements Project and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the June 6, 2022, Regular Council Meeting.
