BACKGROUND In June 2024, Staff applied to the SRTS program to fund community outreach and design phases of the project. The purpose of the SRTS program is to improve safety and mobility for children by enabling and encouraging them to walk and bicycle to school. DISCUSSION In August 2025, City staff were notified of a $610,000 award. This project is intended to improve active transportation and safety for students at Thorndyke Elementary, Showalter Middle, and Foster High Schools. The study area is 46th Ave S from S 150th St to S 144th St, with the goal of providing a safer walking path. Project activities include community engagement, land/geotechnical survey, traffic engineering studies, permitting, preliminary engineering, and right-of-way acquisition, if necessary. The design phase budget has increased above the CIP amount primarily because the original estimate is outdated and did not reflect current conditions or the full scope of work now anticipated. As we evaluated the project in preparation for the federal grant application, we identified that some right-of-way acquisition will likely be needed, which adds to the design cost. In addition, federally funded projects require additional documentation, review, and coordination, which increase consultant and staff costs. We have also included a budget for community outreach and engagement to ensure robust public involvement throughout project development. FISCAL IMPACT The City will receive $610,000 from the SRTS program. No local match is required. Funding from this program is limited to projects within two miles of primary, middle, and high schools. The updated design budget covers work planned for both 2026 and 2027. Phase Project Budget Source Outreach $50,000 Safe Routes to School Design and Permitting $475,000 Safe Routes to School Right of Way $85,000 Safe Routes to School Total $610,000 30 Residential Streets Fund — 46th Ave S Safe Routes to School Project No. 91710301 - WSDOT Safe Routes to School Grant October 24, 2025 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to accept a WSDOT Safe Routes to School grant award for design of the 46th Ave S Safe Routes to School project in the amount of $610,000 and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the November 3rd, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.
