To: Mayor Haggerton
From: Jack Pace, Community Development Director;
Jim Morrow, Public Works Director_
Date: January 7, 2009
Subject: Walk and Roll Plan
Background
In April of this year, the Community Development Department issued a draft
nonmotorized plan titled Walk and Roll. It was widely distributed and reviewed by the
Parks and Planning Commissions and by the Transportation and Community Affairs and
Parks Committees. A public hearing was held before the City Council on July 21, 2008.
At the close of the three month public review period, staff organized the public comments
and Council direction and began modifying the document to reflect the clarifications and
requests. A draft ordinance (Attachment B) to adopt the Walk and Roll Plan and an
edited version of the final mark -ups of the Plan have been prepared for your review
Adoption of the Plan will:
adopt a complete streets principal for all streets within the City
modify the City's designated bicycle routes and identify bike lanes as the
preferred design for specific streets;
establish a system for prioritizing sidewalk construction;
identify potential neighborhood trail locations;
create a capital facilities list of nonmotorized projects; and
create City construction standards and priorities for bicycle and pedestrian
facilities.
Issues
Nonmotorized Canital Facilities List
A nonmotorized capital facilities list (See exhibit in Attachment )3) has been drafted that
has projects listed for the following categories: paved multi -use trails, unpaved trails,
bicycle facilities and sidewalks. (The list of sidewalks awaits the COW's decision.)
Unlike the residential streets program, which typically includes roadway work,
undergrounding, utility improvements, street lighting, etc., the anticipated sidewalk
projects would be limited to just a sidewalk (with potentially a storm water component.)
Page 1 of 2 01/072009
Phone: 206- 433 -1800 City Hall Fax: 206- 433 -1833 www.ci.tukwila.wa.us
With assistance and review by the Transportation Committee, a prioritization system was
created that lists the top 20 street segments on Attachment A. Given the uncertain cost
of building a sidewalk ($50 $600 a linear foot,) the Transportation Committee would
like the COW to review and shorten the list of sidewalks to 10 segments. The shortened
list would then be the subject of a design report that would produce a more accurate cost
estimate for the CIP.
The initial list of sidewalks was created using public streets without sidewalks within 1/2
mile of schools and arterial streets whose posted speed limits exceed 25 miles per hour.
The top three streets, using the agreed upon rating system, are the two remaining
segments of 40th/42nd Avenue S. and Interurban Avenue South. All three of these
segments are identified in the City's CIP. Two other segments identified through the
rating system S. 160 St and 42 Avenue South between 160 and 164 Street are the City
of SeaTac rights of way.
Staff recommends the rank shown on the Attachment A. The existence of existing
interim improvements and the critical path components were strongly influencing factors.
Walk and Roll Plan (marked-u13 final)
The Plan presented to you is a redlined version so that you can follow the substantive
changes that have been made to the Draft in response to Council direction and public
comment.
Recommendation
Two actions are requested of Council
1. Agree on a top 10 list of sidewalk projects to include in the nonmotorized capital
facility list and
2. Forward Ordinance and Final Plan to the January 20 Regular meeting.

phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to
be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such

Staff also reported that the condemnation notification process has changed, and several new requirements
have been placed on the party seeking acquisition (which in this instance is the City). In response to a
general inquiry from the Committee, staff reported that this project was delayed for a time due to design
issues and discussions with property owners. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 9
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Annual Concurrencv Model Update Contract with Fehr Peers/Mirai for Model Update
Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into a consultant agreement with Fehr Peeers /Mirai in the
amount of $32,453 for transportation modeling services. This consultant agreement will conduct
transportation analysis and update the City's Transportation Model and ensure that the City is meeting the
needs of the Concurrency Management Program. Current development throughout the City requires that
model be updated annually to reflect the needs of the City.
As a side note, staff reported that effective June 1, 2008, Mirai will merge with Fehr Peers. Mirai has
provided some of the City's past modeling services (2002, 2006 and 2007). UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JUNE 9 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Annual Concurrencv Model Update Contract with Traffic Data Gathering for Traffic Counts
As an information only item which ties into the previous agenda item, staff reported that the City is entering
into an agreement with Traffic Data Gathering. This agreement will provide services related to traffic
counts. Staff has eliminated and added count locations (i.e.: do to congestion, etc.) which need to be updated
as well as intersection, turning and 24 -hour volume counts. Any substantial/notable changes in traffic counts
will return to the Committee for presentation at a later time. INFORMATION ONLY.
E. Interurban Avenue South Pavement Repair Contract Acceptance and Closeout
Staff is seeking full Council approval for project completion, contract acceptance and authorization to
release retainage for the Interurban Avenue South Pavement Repair which was completed on March 25,
2008. The final cost of the project was $30,655.94, which includes a $2,081.94 overrun as a result of an
increase in the amount of asphalt concrete pavement needed to complete the project. This project bid award
originally came to Committee on January 15, 2008. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE
2 CONSENT AGENDA.
F. Review of Draft Walk Roll Plan
Staff provided a general overview of the draft Walk and Roll Plan which was distributed to Council
approximately three weeks ago. The draft Plan is currently available on the City's website, and staff has
been gathering suggestions from the public as well as the City's Planning Commission.
A brief history of the Plan's formulation was given, including information about the grant through
Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development which was awarded to the
City in 2006 to develop a City -wide non motorized plan exclusive to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
Once adopted, this will be a functional plan which will be utilized as a guide to assist in project
prioritization as well as grant applications. The intent of the Plan is to build on what is currently in the
City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan regarding the building and establishment of the connectivity of
pedestrian and bicycle routes. This connectivity can be implemented in three ways:
Through private construction
Through public projects
Through public /private partnerships
Committee members reviewed a portion of the Plan and offered the following suggestions for incorporation:
Address needs of shoppers and encourage walkability between stores
Look at school bus policies in relation to connectivity walkability

A. Boeing Access Road Bridge Grant Aonlication
Staff is requesting approval from the Transportation Committee to submit a grant application to the Federal
Highway Bridge Program for partial funding to replace the Boeing Access Road Bridge. There is a required
20% local match for funded projects. The grant application is due June 30
This is the first time in approximately three years that new grant funding has been available for bridges
through this program. Submitting an application will allow the City to gauge our competitive rank status as
well as identify our need for bridge replacement with the Federal Highway Bridge Program.
Committee members expressed concern regarding the budget constraints of identifying local match funds
which are approximated at $4 million if the grant is successful. As a result of a detailed discussion, the
Committee determined that this request should be forwarded to full Council for discussion. Committee
members believe that the number of considerations for this project as well as the respective policy level
decisions that may need to be made make this a most prudent discussion and decisions for the Council.
Additionally, the Committee has requested detailed information regarding the bridge replacement project
being discussed, including but not limited to: identified problem statement, historical bridge information,
critical rank for bridge use and repair, regional importance, funding options and priority among other City
projects. This information is crucial in order for full Council to discuss this request and reach a decision.
Committee would also like to see a memo from Interim Finance Director, Bob Noland, stating his financial
opinion on this matter.
In closing, Committee Chair Linder stated that she would like to meet with Jim Morrow next week to review
the information being forwarded to full Council. FORWARD TO JUNE 23 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Review of Draft Walk Roll Plan (continued from May 28 Transportation Committee)
Staff and Committee members continued conducting a broad review of the draft Walk Roll Plan from the
May 28 Transportation Committee meeting. In addition to making some smaller scale suggestions, the
Committee recommends the following significant modifications:
1. Addition of a seventh Recommended Action (see pages 8 -9 of the draft document) creating a
dedicated CIP fund for the Walk Roll Plan.
2. Research alternative presentation options for maps included in that Plan that will be easier to view
and interpret.
Transportation Committee Minutes
June 10. 2008 Pane 2
3. Revise Plan to reference all school districts that serve City residents, including schools that are not
within the physical Tukwila city limits. Several schools located outside of the City services local
residents (i.e.: South 164 McMicken Heights, 42n all the way through, Ryan Hill area).
4. Require pedestrian connections between adjacent properties and along commercial building fronts
for increased walkability within the Tukwila Urban Center.
The Council will be able to compare the entire original "draft document to all recommended changes prior to
approving the Plan for adoption. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 14 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. East Marginal Way Fiber Interconnect Proiect Bid Award
This project will use surplus overlay funds to install vaults, conduit and junction boxes to mterconnect the traffic
signals on East Marginal Way South. Once all of the facilities are installed, the future overlay project will be much
easier to complete. We are trying to include miscellaneous conduit work with overlay work. Dennis asked that if the
overlay fund is not sufficient, then why are we using these funds on an interconnect project. In this case, the surplus
was unexpected and we did not have a road segment designed to overlay in this limited time period. This conduit
work is also not as weather sensitive as an overlay project. UNANE •IOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
NOVERMBER 17 REGULAR DUE TO TIME CONTRAINTS.
B. Sound Transit Street Vacation Ordinance
Sound Transit has requested a time extension on this final street vacation at 35"' Ave S to April 30, 2009.
Jim Morrow reported that with a street vacation, the property is split in half to the abutting property owners.
In this case it would be Sound Transit and WSDOT. WSDOT would like the land donated to them. We have
informed Sound Transit to work out the street vacation with WSDOT as Sound Transit facilities have been
built on entire parcel. Pam Linder requested an updated memo with all of the Sound Transit street vacations
listed in a chart. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 24 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
C. Summary of State Auditor's Perfoiiiiance Audit on Impact Fees
Jim Morrow reported that staff had just attended classes regarding the I -900 initiative that authorized the
State Auditor to complete performance audits to determine leading or best practices. One of these audits
included impact fees. There were five recommendations on traffic impact fees and Tukwila currently has
four of these practices in place. The only recommendation lacking is incorporating a tracking system with
the Finance Depaitutent. As the City incorporated traffic impact fees in 2005, Pam Linder asked what the
public's comments have been regarding the process and the fees. Jim stated that there have been no
complaints regarding the traffic impact fees as the developers are easily able to deteiniine the cost of their
potential traffic impact fees on any new development. INFORMATION ONLY.
D. Walk and Roll Plan Update
Jaimie Reavis summarized the significant changes including the comments from the State Community Trade
and Economic Development and Transportation Departments. There was agreement that when the Council
chooses a new source of funding that a percentage of that new revenue should be dedicated to projects from
the Plan. A question was asked about bike facilities from Klickitat into Southcenter and along Southcenter
Pkwy. Staff responded that Southcenter Pkwy isn't a regional route for commuters and that it acts as a
Transportation Committee Minutes November 13. 2008 Pale 2
destination. Southcenter Pkwy m particular is dangerous for cyclists because of the large number of
driveways and high vehicle volumes. Staff also responded that a "Complete Streets" policy is being
recommended in response to the comments received. A complete streets practice directs that infrastructure
designs accommodate all classes of users: pedestrians, trucks, buses, bicyclists and cars whenever feasible
and practical. The Bicycle Route Map was distributed and the routes were discussed. Staff said the priority
for the CIP fund for the Plan will be to conduct an engineering study to assess what bicycle facilities could
be installed on each of the routes. Moira Bradshaw reviewed a draft sidewalk prioritization system.
Council thought that there was too much emphasis in the point system given to commercial streets. Council
reworked the point system to increase points for sidewalks adjacent to schools and parks and libraries etc.
Staff reported that they would be bringing back a marked up version of the Plan to the November 25th
Transportation Committee Meeting. INFORMATION ONLY.

Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into Supplemental Agreement #2 with Macaulay and
Associates for additional services relative to Local Improvement District Special Benefits Study for the
Tukwila Urban Center Access Project (Klickitat).
This supplemental agreement will add $25,200 to the current contract, extending the original contract
amount to a cost not to exceed $142,100, This agreement will update the appraisals of over 300 properties in
the urban center, hopefully leading to the resolution of some right -of -way acquisition issues. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Turnover of Street Improvements by Charter Homes. Inc./Riverton Lane Development
Staff is seeking full Council authorization for the Mayor to sign acceptance forms for the turnover of street
improvements, street lighting, and a storm drainage system located within South 130 Street and 38 Lane
South, adjacent to 3827 South 130 Street.
Now that 9 -lot short plat by Charter Homes, Inc./Riverton Lane Development is complete, the developer is
transferring assets of the public facilities to the City. This infrastructure will be added to City inventory, and
is valued at $63,246. The public facilities /infrastructure has been constructed to City standards and has been
inspected by staff. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 1 CONSENT
AGENDA.
D. Walk and Roll Plan Update
The Committee continued to review portions of the Walk and Roll PIan. Staff distributed copies of some
minor changes /updates to the document and discussed ongoing efforts to refire the Plan.
Committee members were enthusiastic about and supportive of the Plan. However, the Committee did
express concern that the budget monies designated for the Plan in 2009 -10 might not be enough to begin
implementation. This item will return to Committee on December 9 for additional review It is anticipated
that a full presentation and ordinance recommendation will be forthcoming at a January 2009 Council
meeting. RETURN TO DECEMBER 9 TRANSPORTATION COMM TTEE FOR ADDITIOANL

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
Walk and Roll Plan (Nonmotorized Transportation Plan) Ordinance
The Committee continued discussion of sidewalk prioritization. Staff presented a wide range of cost estimates
($50 $600 a linear foot) for sidewalk construction. There was concern that the rating system did not
adequately address areas with walking hazards or that are critical linkages over significant barriers, such as S
4 178 St., and streets with heavy use such as S. 160 St. west of 42 Av. S. Staff suggested that those two items,
critical links, heavy use and safety concerns could be factored in with "balancing factors," which also includes
geographic parity, cost efficiencies, property owner willingness and grant success The Committee requested
that staff revise and correct mistakes on the table and list the top 15 ranked street segments for discussion with
the COW. The COW could be involved in selecting the top 10 from a list of the top 15 or so.
There was a discussion of the bicycle facility design report and that a similar report could be done for sidewalks
so that there are better planning level cost estimates for these facilities.
Chairman Linder asked Committee members if there were any issues with the draft ordinance as it is drafted.
Staff suggested that the draft ordinance could be revised to add the capital facilities list. The Committee agreed
that the marked up version of the Plan would be an acceptable format for the COW and to include the Capital
Facility list as a separate attachment that could be more easily updated. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
