LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
We acknowledge the original inhabitants of this place, the Sdohobsh (Snohomish) people and
their successors the Tulalip Tribes, who since time immemorial have hunted, fished, gathered, and
taken care of these lands. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we
honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Transportation Project List
Staff Lead: Bertrand Hauss
Department: Planning & Development
Prepared By: Navyusha Pentakota
Background/History
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.
Staff Recommendation
No recommendation needed. Staff will present the methodology and criteria regarding the
transportation project list and requests feedback from the Planning Boards.
Narrative
After this topic was introduced to the Planning Board on June 12, 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 criterion
within a project will be rated as high, medium, or 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
7.A
Packet Pg. 2
for each project). The priority ranking will be used as a starting point to select projects but other factors
such as secured grant funding, coordination with utilities, and 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 selection criteria.
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 selection criteria will be
presented to the public.

▪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?

DRAFT SCORING

▪Project scoring will help city
prioritize capital projects
▪Ranks will be done per project
type (intersection projects not
scored against bike lane projects)
▪Prioritization won’t necessarily
reflect buildout timeline of capital
projects due to cost, grant
opportunities, development
patterns, etc.
