Project Update.
Narrative
The Transportation Plan is a mandatory element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The last update to
the Transportation Plan was completed in 2015. The main objective of this Plan is to identify short and
long-range strategies that lead to the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system
that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while addressing current and
future transportation demand and land use.
Based on Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) expectations, the multimodal concurrency, and LOS
programs that meet GMA requirements and VISION 2050’s multi-county planning policies will be
included with the following items:
1. Methodology to evaluate LOS for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles;
2. Adopt LOS standard(s) based on the methodology;
3. Identification of existing and future deficiencies to maintain LOS; and
4. Measures for addressing existing and future deficiencies - to maintain LOS.
2.1
Packet Pg. 2
Since the last Council meeting in June when a Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) update was
provided, a list of MMLOS projects and non-MMLOS projects have been identified. The lists consist of
active transportation and vehicular projects programmed over the next 20 years. The active
transportation project lists consist of key pedestrian and bicycle missing links throughout the City, while
the vehicular projects are capacity improvements, safety improvements, and traffic signal upgrades.
Evaluation criteria have been established to prioritize projects on both the MMLOS and non-MMLOS
project lists. The identified criteria are areas of safety concerns (recent collisions recorded within
project limits), proximity to schools, parks, transit stops, growth hubs, public buildings, and PSRC’s
Opportunity Index (based on different Education, Economic Health, Housing and Neighborhood Quality,
Mobility and Transportation, and Health and Environment levels identified in sections of Edmonds). Each
criteria within a project will be rated as high, medium, low and those criteria will also be weighed
considering their importance compared to others within the evaluation (in order to establish total
number of points for each project). The priority ranking will be used as a starting point to select projects
but other factors such as secured grant, coordination with utilities, safety / capacity concerns may affect
the timing of when projects would be able to move forward. The Transportation Committee has been
involved in the development of those project lists and criteria selection.
As part of the Comprehensive Plan, two land use alternatives are being considered to account for future
growth throughout the City. Once the final land use alternative is selected, the final MMLOS and non-
MMLOS project list will be established. The financial portion of the plan with all the project costs will
follow.
An Open House is scheduled for September 18th where the project lists and criteria will be presented.

Goals of the Planned Pedestrian and Bicycle Networks:
Maximize / improve accessibility to:
Parks, schools, community destinations, transit
Regional destinations outside the City
Supports the land use vision (areas of growth have adequate facilities)
Balance connectivity vs. feasibility of network construction (ROW,
topographic challenges)
Foster active transportation options and reduce reliance on automobiles
Address disparities in access to safe and convenient walking and biking
facilities
WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF A NETWORK?

Project scoring will help city

Ranks will be done per project

Prioritization won’t necessarily
reflect buildout timeline of capital

opportunities, development
patterns, etc.
