PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH, SEPTEMBER 2009. 3. PRESENTATION ON THE FIRE DISTRICT 1 CONTRACT OFFER. Mayor Haakenson explained approximately three weeks ago, the Fire District 1 (FD1) contract offer and documents related to the contract were provided to the Council as well as posted on the City’s website. Since then the Council has been provided updated documents with minor legal changes; no significant changes have been made. He commented since the Council authorized staff to begin negotiations with FD1, staff has made a tremendous effort to develop a proposal they were comfortable with. He advised Fire and Finance staff were present to answer questions and were open to any suggestions from the Council. Mayor Haakenson noted that after providing the Council the contract offer information, he had asked for additional questions on at least three occasions and Chief Tomberg prepared a “Frequently Asked Questions” white paper in response. As elected officials, Mayor Haakenson explained it was the Council’s and his responsibility to look at how services are provided to the taxpayers of Edmonds. It is also their responsibility to provide those services in a cost-efficient manner while still maintaining the quality of that service. Mayor Haakenson described what the City could expect from a contract for service with FD1: nothing less than the service levels the City had come to expect from the existing Fire Department, the same response times, and highly trained firefighters serving residents from the three existing fire stations in the City. Mayor Haakenson described FD1, a respected fire department that operates on the same model as the City’s Fire Department, with better training facilities, that does more community outreach through education and programs than Edmonds does, and that operates under a fire district model with an elected Board of Commissioners who set policy. The contract is written to ensure Edmonds residents will always have quality fire and medical service. The City’s expectations for service levels are laid out in the contract. If those levels are not met, the City has the option to modify or withdraw from the agreement. If the City chose to do that, the contract addresses how that would occur. Mayor Haakenson commented on the cost of public safety, pointing out costs will continue to rise and labor cost is the driving force. He described the cost to operate the Edmonds Fire Department: Packet Page 5 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 3  $8.0 million - 2010 budget for the Edmonds Fire Department  $1.1 million - Additional associated costs  $500,000 - Overhead costs  $9.6 million - Total cost to operate the Edmonds Fire Department He described Fire Department revenue:  $3.9 million - EMS levy  $750,000 - Esperance contract  $370,000 - Woodway contract  $700,000 - EMS ambulance fees  $270,000 - Voted taxes for the Public Safety Building  $6 million - Total revenue He summarized the 2010 expense to operate the Fire Department is $9.6 million; revenue taken in by the Fire Department totals $6 million, leaving a General Fund subsidy of $3.6 million. He reviewed the cost from a contract for service:  $6.2 million - FD1's offer for a contract for 2010  $800,000 - Recurring non-departmental fire costs that the City incurs whether or not it has its own Fire Department  $7.0 million - Total cost to provide fire service via a contract with FD1 Mayor Haakenson summarized the total cost of contracting ($7.0 million), less revenue from EMS levy and voted taxes for Station 17 ($4.2 million), leaves a $2.8 million General Fund subsidy. The General Fund subsidy to operate the Edmonds Fire Department is $3.6 million; the subsidy with a contract for service with FD1 is $2.8 million, a savings of $800,000 the first year and increasing to over $1 million in five years as the savings increase and the cost to provide fire service decreases. He noted the Council packet contained a schedule outlining the savings per year. To the question of whether citizens would be taxed for the new fire contract, Mayor Haakenson assured that aside from the continuing EMS levy, Edmonds citizens would not be taxed for this contract for service. He assured the contract for service was not a tax and it would not show up on Edmonds taxpayers’ property-tax statement. The contract would be paid from the City’s General Fund. The cost for service each year will be calculated per Exhibit C in the Council packet. There is a formula for figuring labor cost, overhead, maintenance and operations, the City’s costs for a Fire Marshal and Inspector and an annual assessment for apparatus replacement. In addition to maintaining quality fire/EMS service and saving $800,000 per year, the proposed contract calls for FD1 to purchase the City’s fire stations, the land under the stations, and all fire equipment. To determine the value, each station was assigned a replacement value by WCIA appraisers. The land was valued by Snohomish County at 2009 valuations and the total value assigned to the three stations and land was $8.3 million. He pointed out the assessed values of the land will decrease in 2010. FD1 will purchase the stations and land over a four-year period with the City receiving over $2.0 million per year. The City still owes approximately $400,000 on the previous purchase of Station 20 which will be paid from the final proceeds of the sale. The City has fiber and other equipment in Station 17 that will remain onsite as well as the generator. These will be handled via an inexpensive lease such as $1 per year. Packet Page 6 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 4 With regard to Edmonds Fire Department employees, Mayor Haakenson explained the contract calls for all firefighters and management staff to leave as City employees and become FD1 employees. FD1 will assume all employee liabilities with the exception of $800,000 in sick leave and vacation accruals. The City will have 54 fewer employees and have one less labor contract to negotiate. FD1 will purchase 17 vehicles from the City at a value $1.4 million which was determined by Fire Trucks Plus. This is payable in a one-time, lump-sum payment. He noted the City was scheduled to replace its ladder truck in 2013 at a cost of approximately $1.3 million. Other Fire Department assets including radios, gear, cameras, phones and some onboard equipment will also be purchased by FD1 in the amount of $350,000. With regard to concern that has been expressed regarding a loss of control, Mayor Haakenson assured the only thing citizens should worry about controlling were the quality and cost of fire/EMS service. Mayor Haakenson summarized with the station and land sales, the City will receive a cash infusion of nearly $3 million in 2010 and $2 million each year through 2014. With this contract, the City’s ending cash balance increases from slightly over $1.0 million to over $4 million in 2010 and over $5 million in 2011. It maintains those levels through 2013. Two forecasts are contained in the Council packet showing cash flow scenarios with and without the fire service contract. He summarized the increase in the City’s ending cash balance is possible due to the large reduction in labor costs and the addition of the contract for service as well as the cash infusion from the station and equipment sales. It will solve the City’s financial problems for the next four years. He emphasized this was an opportunity to put the city in great financial shape for years to come while the Economic Development Commission does its work. Mayor Haakenson explained the financial assumptions for the report were prepared by former Finance Director Kathleen Junglov who now holds a similar position with FD1. To the question of whether that represented a conflict of interest, he reviewed the following chronology:  March 2009 - Ms. Junglov applies for open position at FD1  April 2009 - FD1 sends unsolicited contract offer to the City  May/June 2009 - Ms. Junglov and City staff work on details of contract for service  July 2009 - FD1 offers job to Ms. Junglov Mayor Haakenson explained following Ms. Junglov’s resignation, he brought on Lorenzo Hines as the Interim Finance Director. Mr. Hines has studied the proposal and all the assumptions used in the contract proposal. He has made some valuable recommendations, saving additional dollars. Mr. Hines agrees with the former Finance Director on the basics of the contract. Mayor Haakenson concluded the Council had the opportunity to ensure the provision of quality fire and EMS services to the citizens of Edmonds at less cost than the City currently pays and receive much needed cash to a cash-strapped City budget. He urged the Council to take advantage of this opportunity. Councilmember Plunkett commented most citizens wanted to know whether they would receive the same service; would firefighters and paramedics show up in the same expeditious manner. He asked who determined response times, how response times were measured, and how the response times would be determined and measured via this contract. Fire Chief Tom Tomberg advised Question 2 of the FAQ addressed that question. He recalled in 2006 the Council adopted Senate House Bill 1756, now codified as RCW 35.103, that required career Fire Departments to adopt response time standards. Consistent with that legislative requirement, the Council adopted 11 response time standards. That standard is interwoven throughout the contract. FD1 has a similar standard based on their current station locations and level of Packet Page 7 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 5 service. The contract requires they adhere to the same standard. The fire stations in Edmonds will continue to be staffed as they are today. Councilmember Plunkett invited Chief Tomberg to comment on the loss of control. Chief Tomberg assured that was addressed throughout the contract via a required levels of service, formula for the contract based on labor, overhead, maintenance and operations and vehicle replacement. The contract also addressed how disputes would be resolved and what happened for example if a law was passed by the legislature that forced action to be taken; the contract would be reopened and the issue worked out. Councilmember Plunkett referred to other consolidations such as 911 dispatch, observing although the Edmonds City Council did not control 911 dispatch, the City had a say in the organization. He asked whether 911 dispatch was effective in southwest Snohomish County. Chief Tomberg described three regional services provided by a consortium of governments. 911 dispatch or SnoCom is governed by a Board; Mayor Haakenson and he are on that Board. SnoCom has been in operation for over 20 years, has an annual budget of approximately $4 million and is responsible for providing EMS, fire and law enforcement dispatch throughout southwest Snohomish County. Chief Tomberg explained the City also has a seat on the Board of Emergency Service Coordinating Agency (ESCA), and he is the current chair. ESCA provides pre, during and post disaster planning and response services to seven communities in south Snohomish County and three communities in north King County. A third regional organization is the Snohomish Emergency Radio System (SERS) who brought 800 MHz to every fire and law enforcement agency in Snohomish County. Mayor Haakenson is currently the Vice Chair of the Board and has served as the Chair in the past. Councilmember Plunkett asked if those service consolidations had been effective for Edmonds citizens. Chief Tomberg answered they had been extremely cost effective and very successful. The region has a fine 800 MHz system; good disaster planning, response and recovery; and very good 911 dispatch. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether Chief Tomberg would become the Fire Chief of FD1. Chief Tomberg answered Ed Widdis, the FD1 Fire Chief, recently signed a new 3-year contract. Chief Tomberg assured he would not be the Fire Chief of FD1. Councilmember Wambolt referred to the comment in Mayor Haakenson’s presentation that the City still owed approximately $400,000 on the previous purchase of Station 20 and that would be paid off with the proceeds of the sale. However the financial statements show $330,000 in future debt service for Station 20. Mayor Haakenson answered he assumed the amount owing on Fire Station 20 would be paid off with the proceeds of the sale; Mr. Hines showed it remaining in the budget. That was a decision for the Council to make. The City could continue to pay the debt service once the station was sold; he recommended paying off the $400,000 with the proceeds of the sale. Councilmember Wambolt requested an analysis of selling the fire stations versus retaining them. He also questioned why Lynnwood and Mukilteo did not accept FD1’s contract for service offer. Mayor Haakenson answered he was unaware whether the contract for service that FD1 offered to Edmonds was the same as was offered to Lynnwood and Mukilteo. In Mukilteo, the Mayor refused to look at the offer and did not provide it to the Council due to issues with FD1 over annexation. In Lynnwood, the Mayor made a similar assessment. Both Lynnwood and Mukilteo are in disagreement with FD1 over annexation issues. He believed if Edmonds entered into a contract for service with FD1, Mukilteo eventually would follow suit, but he did not believe Lynnwood would. Council President Wilson asked how FD1’s response times compared to Edmonds. Chief Tomberg agreed they differed due to the location of their stations and the shape of the district. He suggested that Packet Page 8 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 6 question be posed to the FD1 Commissioners. He assured every Fire Department in south Snohomish County made every effort to get to the scene of an emergency as soon as possible. He assumed FD1’s standards were adopted in good faith based on common sense. FD1 has relocated stations in the past in order to reach the greatest number of people in the least amount of time. He advised response times would not be affected by the contract as long as the stations in Edmonds remained in their current locations. Assuming Edmonds response standards were higher and FD1 decided to close/realign/build a new station, Council President Wilson asked the impact of that action if Edmonds were to take its Fire Department back. Chief Tomberg assured under the contract, none of the Edmonds fire station locations would change. FD1 is building a new fire station at 156th that would be taken over by Lynnwood if annexation was successful. FD1 is also building a new fire station that they will own in Brier. Council President Wilson observed response times would certainly not get worse and with luck, they would get better in the future. Chief Tomberg commented with luck in the future there would be one single fire department in southwest Snohomish County via merger, consolidation or Regional Fire Authority (RFA). Council President Wilson asked whether the cities were moving toward an RFA. Mayor Haakenson responded for cities Edmonds’ size to survive, consolidation of Fire Departments, Police Departments, Public Works Departments, etc. would be necessary and possibly someday consolidation of cities to improve competition with other cities for national dollars. He was hopeful consolidation of more services would occur in the future. Council President Wilson agreed with Councilmember Wambolt’s request for an analysis of selling versus not selling fire stations. Mayor Haakenson answered without the sale of the fire stations, land and equipment, the City lost one of the benefits of a contract for service - incoming cash. Although there would still be the $800,000 per year savings in the General Fund, without a cash influx from the sale of the fire stations, land and equipment, there would need to be a levy request to the voters. He pointed out if the City retained the fire stations and land, they would also retain the responsibility for maintaining the stations and grounds, insurance, etc. He summarized one of the biggest reasons for selling the fire stations and land was to bring in cash and avoid a levy. With regard to a citizens’ question why Mountlake Terrace retained the transport fees (currently approximately $700,000/year) and in Edmonds’ contract those fees go to FD1, Mayor Haakenson explained the transport fees run with the stations. Mountlake Terrace did not sell their stations and therefore retained the fees. With the sale of the stations and land, FD1 would collect the transport fees. He acknowledged Edmonds could retain its stations and land; the City would retain the $700,000/year in transport fees but would not receive the $8 million cash infusion and would drop into deficit in 2013 versus 2015. He advised ending cash balance would go into deficit in 2011 without a contract for fire service. The City goes into deficit in 2013 if the City contracts for service with FD1 and retains the stations, land and transport fee revenue. If the proposed contract for service with FD1 is accepted, the City does not go into deficit until 2015. Chief Tomberg suggested the question regarding selling/retaining stations be posed when the Council meets with the Brier’s Mayor and Mountlake Terrace’s Mayor and City Manager. When/if a RFA is formed, Council President Wilson asked whether the assets of the fire departments would migrate without compensation to the RFA. Chief Tomberg responded the legislation passed in 2004 that allowed RFA’s is still maturing and is being modified every legislative session. There are many rules regarding implementation that have yet to be written. There are also challenges to the rules that produce case law that dictates how a RFA is formed/operated. It was his understanding that upon formation of a RFA, cities did not receive compensation for their stations. Packet Page 9 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 7 Council President Wilson commented the only red flag in the contract for him was in regard to the formation of a RFA. According to the proposed contract, if the City sold its assets today and a RFA were formed in the future, the contract would be unwound, requiring Edmonds to buy back the stations and give them to the RFA. Mayor Haakenson responded if the Interlocal Agreement were terminated and Edmonds re-formed its Fire Department, the same process under which they were sold would be followed. It was his understanding if a RFA were formed, it would be to Edmonds’ benefit to have entered into a contract for service with FD1. Council President Wilson referred to language in Section 11.5 of the contract, “in the event that a Regional Fire Protection Authority, RFA or other legally recognized means of providing fire service is created, inclusive of the City and District, this agreement will be terminated.” Section 11.7 states, “regardless of the reason for termination, the parties and District agree that like assets purchased by and transferred to the District as part of this Agreement shall be returned to the City.” Chief Tomberg answered the intent was that Edmonds would be part of the RFA. He agreed the language may need to be clarified to reflect the intent. Council President Wilson commented another policy issue was the use of funds from the sale of assets. In his experience it was not best policy to sell assets and use the proceeds to fund operations. Mr. Hines answered it depended on the need for the proceeds and the flexibility to put the proceeds aside or use them for operations. As a general policy, the proceeds from the sale of assets were not used for operations but it depended on how dire the situation was. Council President Wilson commented the $800,000 operational savings was significant enough. He requested staff consider how to protect the funds from the sale of assets. Mayor Haakenson commented it was up to the Council to determine whether to place the money in a certain fund such as the emergency fund, set it aside to pay the fire contract, etc. Council President Wilson asked staff to explore mechanisms such as establishing a separate trust fund for the proceeds that would be used for future asset purchases or retain the proceeds for up to five years in the event the stations and land had to be purchased. Councilmember Peterson asked Chief Tomberg to comment on FD1’s training facilities and the lack of an Edmonds training facility has on the City’s fire insurance rating. Chief Tomberg answered Edmonds was in need of a Fire Department Headquarters and a training facility. Both a headquarters and training facility are provided via the contract for service with FD1. FD1 is currently constructing a 4-story tower with a 2½ story residential building and smoke room, adjacent to their 40,000 square foot headquarters on a 2.5 acre site off 128th. To duplicate those structures in Edmonds would cost millions of dollars. With regard to fire insurance ratings, Chief Tomberg explained in the past the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau evaluated cities’ fire defenses and provided a rating that was then used by insurance companies. A higher rating of the Fire Department resulted in a better insurance rate for residential and commercial property owners. Recent research revealed a higher rating no longer resulted in a better insurance rate. He pointed out one of Edmonds Fire Department’s deficiencies when they were rated in 1994 was the lack of a training facility; the availability of FD1’s training facility would improve the City’s rating which although it would not result in lower insurance rates, was beneficial to the residents. Council President Wilson advised City Attorney Scott Snyder would report to the Council next week on his experience with regionalization as a City Attorney for other municipalities including reverse annexations and other ways regionalization could be accomplished. On October 6 Brier’s Mayor and Mountlake Terrace’s Mayor and City Manager will meet with the Council. On October 13 there will be a joint City Council/Fire District 1 Commission meeting which may be held in the Brackett Room. Public Packet Page 10 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 8 comment will be accepted at all meetings. He anticipated the Council may be prepared to take a vote on October 20 or 27 assuming no major issues arise. (Councilmember Plunkett left the meeting at 8:00 p.m.) 4. PRESENTATION ON TOURISM PROMOTION AREA BY SNOHOMISH COUNTY LODGING ASSOCIATION. Shawn Walker, President, Snohomish County Lodging Association, explained a Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) is a self-imposed assessment by the lodging industry to generate funds to increase tourism and convention business, attract and welcome tourists and operate tourism designation marketing organizations. Senate Bill 6026 passed in 2003 provided this tool. TPAs have been successfully established in Spokane, Tri Cities, Clark County, Liberty Lake, Yakima, and Wenatchee, and Tacoma is in the process of establishing a TPA. He reviewed the process for Establishing a TPA: 1. Support of local hotels - hotels generating 60% of the revenue must agree. These hotels in Snohomish County have approved forming the TPA. 2. County Council adopts a resolution of intention to establish a TPA, conducts a hearing, adopts an ordinance, and imposes the charge. 3. Requires interlocal agreements with affected municipalities. He reviewed the outcome of balloting of the 44 eligible properties in Snohomish County:  55% voted in support  5% voted no  41% did not respond Of the 4,312 eligible rooms:  64% were supportive  3% were not supportive  33% did not respond In Edmonds:  1 of 3 (33%) eligible properties voted to support (Best Western Edmonds Harbor Inn)  48% eligible rooms support  No Edmonds hotels voted against the TPA but 2 did not respond to numerous attempts to contact the owners  Edmonds represents 5% of the eligible rooms and 7% of the eligible properties in Snohomish County The initiation petition induces the TPA boundary, assessment amount, Advisory Board composition, approved uses, grant application overview and method to halt assessments and dissolve the TPA. He reviewed the following details regarding the TPA:  Boundary: Snohomish County  Zone: Properties with 50 or more rooms  Rate: $1.00 per room night  Estimated annual revenue: $944, 547 Mr. Walker reviewed the composition of the Snohomish County TPA Advisory Board: 9 voting members which include 1 lodging representative from each of the 5 County Council Districts and 4 Packet Page 11 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 9 lodging representatives at large and must include 1 each from Everett, Lynnwood and SCLA Executive Committee. The Board will also include 5 ex-officio members, 1 from each County Council District. The members serve 3 year terms, staggered. The Board meets annually or more frequently as needed. He provided examples of approved uses for the funds, advising all uses must relate to tourism development and generate overnight stays in commercial lodging in Snohomish County. He reviewed the grant application process which is patterned after the existing Lodging Tax Advisory Committee application. He also described how the TPA could be dissolved or modified. He reviewed next steps for forming the TPA:  Signatures of approval have been gathered - complete  Petition to initiate TPA has been authored - complete  County Council Resolution to adopt a TPA is estimated for 3rd quarter 2009  Public hearing is estimated for late 2009  Interlocal agreements are estimated fourth quarter 2009  Begin collecting fee first quarter 2010 Councilmember Orvis asked if the money raised in Edmonds from the 3 hotels would be returned for use in the City. Mr. Walker answered although Edmonds hotels contributed only 5% of the total revenue they had the opportunity to obtain as much of the funds as there were events that attracted overnight stays. He commented in poor economic times, more marketing was necessary to increase occupancy levels. Councilmember Orvis asked who would submit requests for the funds. Mr. Walker anticipated it would be the same organizations that currently request Lodging Tax Advisory funds. 5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Ray Martin, Edmonds, expressed reservations about the contract for service with Fire District 1, fearing it was too good to be true. He pointed out the City had been giving away at least $500,000/year in subsidies to Fire District 1 and Woodway for the past 5-10 years and suggested obtaining a full accounting. He commented the contract for service with Fire District 1 would be good for the firefighters and for the City’s coffers, but would not be good for the Edmonds taxpayers. He was concerned a final vote was being anticipated when there had not yet been a public discussion of the issue. He pointed out Mayor Haakenson and Council President Wilson had also proposed closing Yost Pool permanently and cut funds to the Senior Center. He urged the Council to give this matter a great deal of serious thought before rushing to approve a contract for fire service with Fire District 1. Diane Buckshnis, Edmonds, expressed appreciation to the Interim Finance Director Lorenzo Hines. She referred to the Finance Committee’s consideration of the biennium budget amendments, pointing out the beginning cash for the 2009 General Fund which included the Emergency Reserve Fund did not match the ending cash balance for 2008; there is a difference of approximately $2.2 million. She stated Mr. Hines agreed to work on reconciling those numbers. Next, she pointed out a reduction of $121,000 from the Parks Trust Fund ($85,000 from Yost and $36,500 from the Flower Program) into the General Fund. Ordinance 3466 states City Council approval is required prior to any fund reductions, yet there has not been any City Council discussion regarding the fund reduction. She audited the Parks Trust Fund and found the funds had never been removed. She advised the income from Yost Pool in June reflected a 50% higher income than budget or approximately $117,400. She was concerned Ordinance 3466 was not being administered properly. Packet Page 12 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 10 Al Rutledge, Edmonds, reported the Fire District 1 meeting scheduled for tonight was rescheduled to September 17 due to a lack of a quorum. One of the items on the agenda is the Edmonds contract proposal. Next, he advised the change to allow residents to have 3 animals versus 5 animals was adopted in January 2001. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, questioned how the City could get more for less via the Fire District 1 contract. Next, he referred to the application submitted by Al Dykes for a contract rezone for the former Safeway/Antique Mall property for development of a “sky castle,” 60-80 foot towers. He advised the public could now comment on the SEPA process and there would also be an opportunity for comment at the public hearing at the Planning Board after the SEPA process was complete. The final decision will be made by the City Council. He commented on campaign literature on Council websites that was later removed. He urged candidates to file timely financial reports with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) regarding campaign donations. George Murray, Edmonds, commented an $8 million return for giving up $700,000 in revenue was an 8.7% return. However, he noted it may be worthwhile to continue that revenue stream. He agreed the contract for service with Fire District 1 may be “too good to be true,” explaining his skepticism was due to a May 2008 meeting where the issue of regionalizing the Fire Department was tabled because the taxpayers paid for fire service via property taxes. He also questioned how Fire District 1 could operate their Fire Department cheaper than Edmonds Fire Department. With regard to training, he commented the City’s firefighters were well trained. Next, he pointed out Al Dykes submitted an application to rezone the waterfront area two days after the Council’s action to change Chapter 20. Notice of development application was published on August 28, providing an opportunity for public comment of 14-30 days. Although the notice was published in the Everett Herald, it was not posted on the property until today. He suggested the period for comment on the project be reopened. Jack Jacobsen, Edmonds, suggested Councilmembers walk on the south side of Main Street where blacktop patches were being installed to keep people from falling and suing the City. He urged the Council to have the large trees removed and replaced with trees that would not damage the sidewalk. With regard to the comments concerning the Council websites, Mayor Haakenson advised Mr. Martin had filed a complaint with the PDC. The City Attorney advised the Council was not to engage in any dialogue over that issue. With regard to comments that the contract for service with FD1 was too good to be true, Mayor Haakenson advised the Mayor and City Manager of Mountlake Terrace and the Mayor of Brier will meet with the Council on October 6. Mountlake Terrace and Brier have had a contract for service with FD1 for approximately eight years. Next, he pointed out a Regional Fire Authority and a contract for service were completely different; the RFA meetings were tabled due to Mukilteo and Lynnwood’s disagreement with FD1 over annexation. Discussions were delayed until those issues are resolved. He commented Lynnwood and Mukilteo were reconsidering the annexations due to the economic climate. Mayor Haakenson clarified he never said the Edmonds firefighters did not have any training; he has said that the firefighters do not have a training facility. 6. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2009. Community Services/Development Services Committee Councilmember Orvis reported staff provided the Committee an update to the City’s subdivision regulations as part of the code rewrite. No action was required. Staff also presented a draft ordinance to amend provisions of Title 18 to correct references to Chapter 20. The proposed code revisions will be Packet Page 13 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 11 presented to the full Council for discussion, noting a split vote of Committee Members Councilmember Olson and Councilmember Orvis. Finance Committee Councilmember Wambolt reported staff briefed the Committee on surplus of computers and monitors which was forwarded to the Council as a Consent Agenda item. Next, Mr. Hines reviewed the revenue and expenditure trends of the General Fund for July and August 2009. Expenses are on budget and revenues are below forecast but in line with year-to-date projections. REET revenues improved slightly, August 2009 was the same as August 2008. Mr. Hines also provided the Committee an overview of the proposed budget amendment which was forwarded to the full Council for discussion on the September 22 agenda. 7. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson recalled he emailed the Council two weeks ago requesting they look at the six trees between 5th & Dayton and 4th & Dayton. The City’s Arborist determined the trees were damaged and needed to be removed. One of the trees is bolted together to keep it from splitting, another has a large rotten section and a portion of that tree broke off during last winter’s storm. An independent arborist also prepared a report which he emailed to the Council yesterday. He had intended to add this as an agenda item tonight but neglected to do so. He relayed Public Works Director Noel Miller’s determination that next week was the last possible date to take action and not disrupt the Dayton overlay project. It was the consensus of the Council to schedule it on next week’s agenda. Mayor Haakenson referred to a memo from Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh regarding the final revenue/expenditures for the 2009 Yost Pool season. The loss of $17,000 will be covered by a portion of the approximately $50,000 raised by the citizen group, leaving approximately $34,000 in that fund. He advised reducing the pool’s hours and staff saved $29,000 over 2008 and revenues were approximately $24,000 higher than 2008. Staff’s recommendation is to operate Yost Pool in 2010 with the same hours and schedules, staff will again review the fees. Lynnwood’s pool will be closed in 2010 which may increase attendance at Yost Pool. Staff does not plan to do a RFP/RFQ for a pool operator next year; the City will continue to operate the pool and use the funds raised by the citizen group to cover any subsidy. The Council also has several options to consider with regard to an aquatics facility. 8. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council President Wilson recalled there had been consideration of a September 29 meeting for a joint meeting with the Fire District 1 Commission, that has now been scheduled for the October 13 meeting. Although there were several items on the September 22 and October 6 agendas, he recommended not holding a meeting on September 29, the fifth Tuesday. Following a brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to schedule a meeting on September 29 and move items from the September 22 and October 6 agendas to the September 29 agenda. Council President Wilson referred to the update to the legal contract with Foster Pepper for work related to Lake Ballinger not to exceed 10 hours or $3600 that was approved on the Consent Agenda. Although there was $20,000 included in the budget for Lake Ballinger, funds in the Council budget for professional services as well as funds in the Council Contingency Fund, he recommended the legal fees come from Council Contingency. This would retain the funds in the professional services budget for consultants, legal services, etc. and retain the $20,000 for future Lake Ballinger expenditures. With regard to the comments that the FD1 contract for service was too good to be true, Council President Wilson commented that same sentiment was expressed by some members of the Firefighters Union; they Packet Page 14 of 380 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes September 15, 2009 Page 12 have since worked through their concerns and skepticism. He acknowledged that he also had a high degree of skepticism that he was working through. The process over the next two months will provide ample opportunity to examine the issue particularly with the addition of meetings on September 29 and October 13. If the Council was not ready to vote by October 27, the process would be extended as long as necessary to ensure all questions were answered. Council President Wilson expressed his appreciation to Mr. Martin for his watchdog role with regard to Yost Pool and the Senior Center, pointing out he supported including an additional $100,000 for the Senior Center in the levy. With regard to the Councilmembers’ websites, he assured the City’s policy has always mirrored the State’s policy and it was appropriate for the PDC to address any questions. Councilmember Peterson reported the Edmonds Classic Car Show, the Edmonds Bird Fest and the 3-Day Walk were great events. He thanked everyone who volunteered at those events. Councilmember Wambolt reported when he was collecting his campaign signs, he noticed many of his as well as other candidates’ signs had been vandalized. He pointed out the signs cost approximately $5 each plus the labor to put them up and it was highly illegal to vandalise campaign signs. He estimated 99% of the signs were in authorized locations; if they were displayed on private property, it was because the candidates had obtained permission. He urged citizens to call 911 if they observed anyone vandalizing candidates’ signs; the penalties are severe and can include jail time. 9.

BNSF Railway Company Pipeline License Agreements Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/22/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:Consent Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title BNSF Railway Company Pipeline License Agreements Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council authorize Mayor to sign Pipeline License Agreements with BNSF Railway Company. Previous Council Action None Narrative BNSF Railway Company is planning to construct a future second track along the waterfront to accommodate freight and passenger trains. In preparation for this work, the City is required to upgrade its existing utility crossings within BNSF's right-of-way. During the design phase, it was determined that two existing storm drain pipelines will require modifications within the BNSF right-of-way. The proposed BNSF Licenses address the conditions for allowing the storm drain modifications. The fees for both Licenses have been waived by BNSF. The City will need to purchase Railroad Protective Liability Insurance to complete the work and the cost for this coverage is $1,000 per License. This project is being funded by the 412 Utility Fund.

SCSC Entryway Repairs Project Contract Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/22/2009 Submitted By:Jim Stevens, Public Works Time:Consent Department:Public Works Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Authorize award of the contract for the South County Senior Center Entryway Repairs Project to the lowest responsible bidder, Buntting, Inc. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Authorize the award of this contract to Buntting, Inc. in the amount of $120,450.00 including Washington State Sales Tax. Previous Council Action On October 26, 2004, the Council approved submitting for 2005 CDBG funding, and on January 25, 2005, the Council approved a revision for this application, designated, among other project items, to address the failing main entry of the South County Senior Center. At the City Council meeting July 7, 2009, approval was given to solicit construction bids for this project. Narrative As a result of applying for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award for 2005, the City of Edmonds obtained federal funding for a number of projects at the South County Senior Center (SCSC). So far, this funding has been used to install a new fire alarm system and to perform a structural study of the building. The remainder of this grant will be used to fund construction of a replacement for the existing SCSC entryway structure. The main entry of the South County Senior Center consists primarily of a foyer that was added on to the existing structure around 1980. However, it was built simply upon the concrete walkway outside the main doors, rather than constructed on sound footings. In the nearly 30 years since its construction, the ground beneath this foyer has sunk to the point that the tops of its windows have gaps up to an inch high between the glass and the frames. Additionally, one of the supporting beams for the breezeway immediately outside the foyer has needed to be jacked up and shored with wood to hold it level. The exterior foyer doors periodically come off their hinges because the vertical distance they span keeps growing. The project design team, consisting of representatives of the SCSC, the architect, Calvin Jordan, and the City, has participated in selecting a solution for this problem that is functional, welcoming, and aesthetically consistent. The base bid covers the replacement of the entry structure itself. There is one alternate, adding brick wainscoting to the exterior to match existing remaining brick on the Center. Packet Page 82 of 380 The dollar value of the lowest bid is $120,450.00, including WSST. With the customary 10% additional reserved for contingencies on such repair work, the total budget set aside for this project will need to be $140,195.00. Between CDBG funding available from the 2005 grant awarded the City and a CTED grant awarded directly to the SCSC itself, all construction costs will be reimbursed to the City. This project completes the remaining improvements to the Senior Center which were funded from the 2005 CDBG grant. See the attached file on the SCSC Entryway Repairs Project Bids for a recap of all infomation from the opening held August 17, 2009.

Continued Public Hearing Regarding Update of 2002 Transportation Plan Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/22/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:45 Minutes Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Continued public hearing regarding an update of the 2002 Transportation Plan. The amendments in the proposed 2009 Transportation Plan would: (1) Use a future planning year of 2025 instead of 2022. (2) Base concurrency analysis and recommendations on updated citywide travel demand forecasting model and updated level of service standards on state routes. (3) Incorporate results and recommendations of safety studies that have been completed between 2002 and 2009. (4) Give stronger emphasis to non-motorized transportation projects. Pedestrian and bicycle projects make up approximately 25% of Plan costs instead of approximately 5% in the 2002 Plan. (5) Utilize planning-level cost projections based on higher per-unit prices to reflect trends. (6) Adjust references to the Edmonds Crossing Multi-Modal Plan. No City expenditures are proposed but the item is retained as a long-term project. (7) Update the traffic impact fee, increasing the fee from $764 per trip to $1,040 per trip. (8) Add a traffic calming program and ADA ramp transition plan as additional programs.

The additional information can be found at the beginning of the document on pages 1-3. Several minor revisions have been made to the plan based on public comments. These revisions are identified in the attached set of red-lined pages and also red-lined in the full Plan. Staff recommends the Council approve the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and begin an investigation in 2010 for additional revenue from the Transportation Benefit District. Narrative from August 4th Council Meeting: The City of Edmonds is currently in the process of updating the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Under the Growth Management Act, the City is required to perform a major update to the plan every six to ten years. Our last major update was prepared in 2002. The plan lists existing transportation conditions for all users (drivers, pedestrians, bikers and transit users) as well as possible improvements to these conditions. The main objective of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan is to identify improvements necessary to provide a system for all modes of transportation that will function safely and efficiently through the year 2025. The Planning Board held a public hearing on June 10, 2009 at which time the Board approved the Draft Comprehensive Transportation Plan and forwarded it to City Council with a recommendation for adoption. The consultant, ICF Jones & Stokes, and City staff have been working on the update over the last year. The consultant will provide a summary of the financial plan, the City's shortfall in transportation funding, and a potential source of new revenue (Transportation Benefit District). Staff recommends the Council approve the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and begin an investigation in 2010 for additional revenue from the Transportation Benefit District.

Land Use Review The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and ECDC guides development and growth within the city. Future transportation infrastructure and service needs identified in this Transportation Plan were established by evaluating the level and pattern of travel demand generated by planned future land use. Future population and employment projections for the region are established by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Snohomish County works with local jurisdictions to determine the expected distribution of population and employment between cities and unincorporated county. The transportation analysis presented in this Transportation Plan is based upon these future population and employment projections. Within the City, the allocation of future housing and jobs growth was based upon the County’s “buildable lands” assessment (Snohomish County 2008), which estimates available land capacity for future development, according to the amount of vacant and under-developed (based upon zoning) land. Table 1-1 summarizes the existing and projected future land use growth, based upon these assessments. Table 1-1.

Require new development to consolidate and minimize access points along all state highways, principal arterials, and minor arterials. c. Place a high priority on consolidating existing access points onto all arterial streets in the city. This effort should be coordinated with local business and property owners in conjunction with improvements to the arterial system and redevelopment of adjacent land parcels. d. Design the street system so that the majority of direct residential access is provided via local streets. e. For access onto state highways, implement Chapter 468-52 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Highway Access Management -- Access Control Classification System and Standards. Policy 3.16 Encourage underground parking as part of new development. Objective 4: Circulation. Circulation and connectivity throughout the city should be via the system of arterial and collector streets, bikeways and pedestrian paths. Local streets should be utilized for local property access and designed in a manner to discourage cut- through vehicular traffic. Policy 4.1 Encourage the efficient movement of people and goods through an effective and inter-connected collector and arterial street system. Policy 4.2 The use of dead end streets and culs-de-sac should be avoided. When unavoidable, the length of a dead end street, including cul-de-sac, should be limited to 600 feet, with a minimum 35-foot radius to back of curb on the cul-de-sac. Policy 4.32 Complete the arterial sidewalk system according to the following priority list: a. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is provided; b. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is not provided; c. Arterial roadways with shoulders too narrow or in or poor walking condition for pedestrians; d. Arterial roadways with adequate shoulders for pedestrians but without sidewalks; and e. The remainder of the arterial roadway system (e.g. roads with sidewalks along one side, or roads with sidewalks in disrepair). Policy 4.43 Design streets to accommodate emergency service vehicles.

Trigger year is the year by which travel demand forecasts indicates that the location will operate below adopted LOS standards, and thus be in violation of concurrency. Under the GMA, improvements must be in place within six years of the year that a concurrency violation is triggered. 2. Analysis indicates that restricting northbound and southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 3. Analysis indicates that identified deficiencies could also be addressed by removal of parking along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and restriping and signing so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 2015 Operating Conditions with Improvements Projected intersection LOS under 2015 conditions, with recommended improvements in place, is summarized in Table 3-15 and illustrated in Figure 3-16. The table shows that recommended projects are expected to address deficiencies identified through 2015. Packet Page 107 of 380 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-11 evaluation of future conditions that result from the City’s adopted future land use plan, and priorities stated by Edmonds citizens. A six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is prepared each year, which identifies transportation projects needed to respond to planned growth of the community, and to meet safety and mobility objectives. The TIP integrates City transportation improvement projects and resources with other agencies in order to maximize financing opportunities such as grants, bonds, city funds, donations, impact fees, and other available funding. The TIP is maintained as follows: 1. Provide for annual review by the City Council as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contained in the Comprehensive Plan capital facilities element. 2. Ensure that the TIP: ƒ Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; ƒ Defines a project’s need, and links it to LOS and facility plans; ƒ Includes construction costs, timing, and funding sources; and considers operations and maintenance impacts where appropriate; and ƒ Establishes project development priorities. Table 6-4 summarizes the recommended Transportation Improvement Plan, 2010 through 2025, which is a comprehensive multimodal plan that is based on extensive public input and reflects a major update of the 2003 Plan. The table also identifies which projects are recommended for inclusion in the 2010-2015 TIP. Table 6-4.

of Transportation WSF Washington State Ferries WTP Washington Transportation Plan Packet Page 120 of 380 Table of Contents September 2009 ix Glossary Access The ability to enter a freeway or roadway via an on-ramp or other entry point. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) A federal act that was passed in 1990 and amended in 2008. ADA requires jurisdictions to provide accessible sidewalks primarily through the installation of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. The design requirements address various areas of concern such as curb alignment with crosswalks, narrower sidewalk width, obstacles such as utility poles, placement of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb, or the slope of the ramps. Deficiencies in any of these areas could render a sidewalk or sidewalk ramp to be unsafe or inaccessible for the handicapped, or those who generally have difficulty walking. Arterial A major street that primarily serves through traffic, but also provides access to abutting properties. Arterials are often divided into principal and minor classifications depending on the number of lanes, connections made, volume of traffic, nature of traffic, speeds, interruptions (access functions), and length. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) The average number of vehicles that travel on a roadway on a typical day. Capacity The maximum sustained traffic flow of a transportation facility under prevailing traffic and roadway conditions in a specified direction. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) A long-range plan established by a city or county that encompasses its vision and future needs for capital facilities, including fire, police, utilities, and transportation. The CIP also establishes the jurisdiction’s project priorities and funding methods. Commute trip reduction (CTR) Efforts related to reducing the proportion of trips made in single- occupancy vehicles during peak commuting hours. CTR efforts may include carpooling, telecommuting, compressed work weeks, or using alternative modes to get to work (e.g. walking or biking). Washington State’s CTR efforts are coordinated through WSDOT and local governments in counties with the highest levels of automobile-related air pollution and traffic congestion. Qualified employers in these counties are required by law to develop a commuter program designed to achieve reductions in vehicle trips. Packet Page 121 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds x concurrency A requirement established by the Washington State Growth Management Act that adequate infrastructure be planned and financed to support a jurisdiction’s adopted future land use plan. For transportation, adequacy is measured by the impact on a jurisdiction’s roadway and/or intersection LOS. If an impact is anticipated to cause the adopted LOS standard to be exceeded, then the jurisdiction must have a strategy in place to increase capacity or manage demand (or a financial plan to put that strategy in place) within 6 years of the transportation impact. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) A major agency of the United States Department of Transportation responsible for ensuring that America’s roads and highways continue to be the safest and most technologically up-to-date. Functional classification A roadway category that is based on the types of trips that occur on the roadway, the roadway’s basic purpose, and the level of traffic that the roadway carries. The functional classification of a roadway can range from a freeway to principal arterial to minor arterial to collector to local access. Growth Management Act (GMA) Adopted by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, and subsequently amended to require all cities and counties in the state to do some long-range comprehensive planning. Requirements are more extensive for the largest and fastest-growing counties and cities in the state. Such comprehensive plans must address several required topics, including but not limited to land use, transportation, capital facilities, utilities, housing, etc. The GMA requirements also include guaranteeing the consistency of transportation and capital facilities plans with land use plans. Highways of Statewide Significance Highways identified by the Washington State Transportation Commission that provide significant statewide travel and economic linkages. Level of service (LOS) A measure of how well a roadway or local signalized intersection operates. For roadways, LOS is a measure of traffic congestion based on volume-to-capacity ratios. For local intersections, LOS is based on how long it takes a typical vehicle to clear the intersection. Other criteria also may be used to gauge the operating performance of transit, non-motorized, and other transportation modes. Local Improvement District (LID) Special assessment district in which infrastructure improvements, such as water, sewer, stormwater, or transportation system improvements, will benefit primarily the property owners in the district. Packet Page 122 of 380 Table of Contents September 2009 xi Traffic calming The combination of physical measures and educational efforts to alter driver behavior and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. Physical measures may include bulb-out curb extensions, chicanes, or traffic circles, among other things. Educational efforts may include pavement markings or increased police enforcement. Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) Areas with similar land use characteristics that are used in travel demand models to assess traffic conditions and operations. Transportation Benefit District (TBD) A geographic area designated by a jurisdiction that is a means to funding transportation improvement projects; funding sources can include vehicle license fees, property taxes or sales taxes. The City of Edmonds has already enacted a $20 vehicle license fee. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) A set of strategies intended to maximize the efficiency of the transportation network by reducing demand on the system. Examples of TDM strategies are encouraging commuting via bus, rail, bicycle, or walking; managing the available parking supply; or creating a compressed work week. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) A long-range (6 years) plan established by a city or county that results from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. The TIP establishes the jurisdiction’s transportation deficiencies, project priorities, and possible funding methods. Transportation System Management (TSM) A coordinated approach to the construction, preservation, maintenance, and operations of the transportation network with the goal of maximizing efficiency, safety, and reliability. These activities include making intersection and signal improvements, constructing turn lanes, improving signage and pavement markings, and collecting data to monitor system performance. Travel Demand Forecasting Methods for estimating the desire for travel by potential users of the transportation system, including the number of travelers, the time of day, travel mode, and travel routes. Washington Transportation Plan (WTP) A long-range (20 years) statewide transportation plan adopted by the Washington Transportation Commission. The WTP describes existing transportation conditions in the state, and outlines future transportation needs. Packet Page 123 of 380 Packet Page 124 of 380 September 2009 1-1 Chapter 1. Introduction The purpose of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Transportation Plan) is to guide the development of multimodal surface transportation within the City of Edmonds (City) in a manner consistent with the City’s adopted transportation goals, objectives, and policies (presented in Chapter 2). The Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan (Comprehensive Plan). It identifies transportation infrastructure and services needed to support projected land use within the city through the year 2025, in compliance with the State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) [RCW 36.70A, 1990, as amended]. Based upon existing and projected future land use and travel patterns, the Transportation Plan describes street, walkway, bikeway, and public transportation infrastructure and services, and provides an assessment of existing and projected future transportation needs. It provides a long- range Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that establishes transportation priorities, addresses transportation deficiencies and guides the development of the six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Transportation Plan identifies safety and mobility improvements for streets, walkways, bikeways, neighborhood traffic control, and public transportation, as well as preservation, maintenance, and implementation strategies that include concurrency management and financing. The Transportation Plan establishes direction for development of programs and facilities that address the transportation needs for the city through the year 2025. Purpose of the Transportation Comprehensive Plan Based upon the directives of the City’s adopted transportation goals and policies, as well as the requirements of the GMA, the objectives of the Transportation Plan are as follows: ƒAddress the total transportation needs of the city through 2025. Packet Page 125 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-2 ƒIdentify transportation improvements necessary to provide a system that will function safely and efficiently through the year 2025. ƒEnsure consistency with the land use adopted in the adopted 2008 Comprehensive Plan. ƒContribute to economic growth within the city through an efficient transportation system. ƒProvide cost-effective accessibility for people, goods, and services. ƒProvide travel alternatives that are safe and have convenient access to employment, education, and recreational opportunities for urban and suburban residents in the area. ƒIdentify funding needs for identified transportation improvements and the appropriate participation by both the public and private sectors of the local economy. ƒComply with the requirements of the GMA and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). ƒSupport improvements to major transportation routes outside the city that will reduce through-traffic in the community. Plan Background Reports, Plans and Records This Transportation Plan integrates the analysis and results of numerous plans and prior reports that have been completed for the City. Information was obtained from the following sources: ƒCity of Edmonds Transportation Element. 2002. Previous transportation plan that established citywide transportation goals and policies and infrastructure and service needs, which was updated for this Plan. ƒCity of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. 2008. Current GMA plan that presents the City’s planned future land use through 2025, and plans and policies established by the City to support that land use. ƒSnohomish County Buildable Lands Report. 2008. Identifies where capacity exists to accommodate future planned land use within cities and unincorporated areas located within Snohomish County, including the City of Edmonds. ƒCity of Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). December 1980, as amended. Provides City zoning and other land use regulations. ƒSR 99 Traffic and Circulation Study. 2006. Assesses traffic conditions on State Route (SR) 99, and recommends safety and mobility improvements to be included in the City TIP. ƒCity of Edmonds Walkway Comprehensive Plan. 2002. Evaluates existing sidewalks and pedestrian facilities throughout the City and proposes comprehensive improvements to the walkway system. Packet Page 126 of 380 Introduction September 2009 1-3 ƒCity of Edmonds Bikeway Comprehensive Plan. 2000. Evaluates existing bikeways throughout the City, and proposes comprehensive improvements to the bikeway system. ƒOlympic View Drive / 176th Street SW: Intersection Traffic Analysis. 2001. Evaluates traffic flow operations and pedestrian safety and access for the intersection, and makes recommendations for operational and safety improvements. Land Use Review The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and ECDC guides development and growth within the city. Future transportation infrastructure and service needs identified in this Transportation Plan were established by evaluating the level and pattern of travel demand generated by planned future land use. Future population and employment projections for the region are established by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Snohomish County works with local jurisdictions to determine the expected distribution of population and employment between cities and unincorporated county. The transportation analysis presented in this Transportation Plan is based upon these future population and employment projections. Within the City, the allocation of future housing and jobs growth was based upon the County’s “buildable lands” assessment (Snohomish County 2008), which estimates available land capacity for future development, according to the amount of vacant and under-developed (based upon zoning) land. Table 1-1 summarizes the existing and projected future land use growth, based upon these assessments. Table 1-1.

In addition to requiring consistency with the Land Use Element, the GMA requires that the following components be included in transportation elements: ƒInventory of facilities by mode of transport; ƒLevel of service assessment to aid in determining the existing and future operating conditions of the facilities; ƒProposed actions to bring these deficient facilities into compliance; ƒTraffic forecasts, based upon planned future land use; ƒIdentification of infrastructure needs to meet current and future demands; ƒFunding analysis for needed improvements, as well as possible additional funding sources; ƒIdentification of intergovernmental coordination efforts; and ƒIdentification of demand management strategies as available. [RCW 36.70A.070(6)] In addition to these elements, GMA mandates that development cannot occur unless adequate supporting infrastructure either already exists or is built concurrent with development. In addition to capital facilities, infrastructure may include transit service, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, or Transportation System Management (TSM) strategies. Under the GMA, local governments and agencies must annually prepare and adopt six-year TIPs. These programs must be consistent with the transportation element of the local comprehensive plan, and other state and regional plans and policies as outlined below. Washington Transportation Plan The Washington Transportation Plan (WTP) presents the State’s strategy for developing budgets and implementing over a 20-year planning horizon. The current WTP was adopted by the Transportation Commission in 2006 and covers the period 2007 to 2026. The WTP contains an overview of the current conditions of the statewide transportation system, and an assessment of the State’s future transportation investment needs. The WTP policy framework sets the course for meeting those future needs. The WTP Prioritized Investment Guidelines are as follows: 1. Preservation 2. Safety 3. Economic Vitality Packet Page 128 of 380 Introduction September 2009 1-5 4. Mobility 5. Environmental Quality and Health PSRC Plans The PSRC is the Regional Transportation Planning Organization for the area that includes Snohomish, King, Pierce, and Kitsap counties, and is responsible for overseeing six-year TIPs within the region. The PSRC works with local jurisdictions to establish regional transportation guidelines and principles, and certifies that the transportation-related provisions within local jurisdictions’ comprehensive plans are consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan and conform to GMA requirements. VISION 2040 VISION 2040 is comprised of the following four parts, developed to help guide the region as it experiences population and employment growth: ƒPart I: Sustainable environment framework – Provides the context for planning, development, and environmental management in the region. This framework describes the role that the environment plays – along with the benefits, challenges, and opportunities it provides – and how it affects prosperity and quality of life. ƒPart II: Regional Growth Strategy – Identifies an approach to promote a focused regional growth pattern. It builds on current growth management plans, and recommits the region to directing future development into the urban growth areas, while focusing new housing and jobs in cities and within a limited number of designated regional growth centers. Focusing growth in urban areas helps to protect natural resources and sensitive environmental areas, encourages a strong economy, provides more housing opportunities for all economic segments of the population, improves regional jobs-housing balance, and minimizes rural residential growth. The Regional Growth Strategy describes the roles of all communities in implementing VISION 2040. ƒPart III: Multicounty planning policies –Adopted under the state’s Growth Management Act, the policies are divided into six major sections: Environment, Development Patterns, Housing, Economy, Transportation, and Public Services. The policies are designed to help achieve the Regional Growth Strategy and address region-wide issues within a collaborative and equitable framework. They provide guidance and direction to regional, county, and local governments on such topics as setting priorities for transportation investment, stimulating economic development, planning for open space, making city and town centers more hospitable for transit and walking, and improving transportation safety and mobility. Multicounty planning policies lay the foundation for securing the necessary funding for services and facilities, and provide direction for more efficient use of public and private investments. Each policy section contains actions that lay out steps the region will need to take to achieve VISION 2040. Packet Page 129 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-6 ƒPart IV: Implementation – Describes several programs and processes, including a monitoring program that includes tracking action on agreed-upon steps, measuring progress over time, and determining whether the region is achieving desired results. This section includes specific measures that relate to the multicounty planning policies. The multicounty planning policies provide direction and guidance for maintenance, safety, clean transportation, supporting the regional growth strategy, and optimizing travel options. Policies are provided that relate to safety and security, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency and the use of alternative energy, developing roadways as “complete streets” that accommodate different modes of travel, and advancing alternatives to driving alone. (Puget Sound Regional Council 2008) The City’s next major update to the Comprehensive Plan (due in 2011) will need to demonstrate how it is aligning with the VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy, including expanded provisions for addressing health and the built environment, design, and environmental planning (including climate change). The transportation element will be revisited at that time, to ensure consistency with the City’s update to its future land use plan and the VISION 2040 provisions. However, the updates reflected in this Transportation Plan, particularly the increased emphasis on non-motorized elements and alternative transportation modes, are consistent with the policy direction that VISION 2040 provides. Destination 2030 The central Puget Sound region’s current long-range plan, Destination 2030, addresses long-term transportation strategies and investments in King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties. Adopted in 2001, Destination 2030 was developed to maintain and expand the regional vision of a growth management strategy, supporting compact urban areas connected by a high capacity transportation system. Destination 2030 focuses on preserving and managing the existing transportation system and ensuring the development of a balanced multi-modal transportation system that includes choices for private vehicles, public transit, ride sharing, walking and bicycling, and freight modes. Destination 2030 coordinates the diverse ambitions of the region’s counties, cities, towns, and neighborhoods, and emphasizes the connection between land use and transportation to reduce long-term infrastructure costs and provide better links between home, work, and other activities. Destination 2030 meets requirements governing Regional Transportation Plans in central Puget Sound. Destination 2030 was updated in 2007, satisfying new requirements and preparing for more extensive plan updates in 2010. The updates address emerging transportation trends and enhance the safety, security and special needs transportation aspects of Destination 2030. The improvements also add provisions related to congestion management, commute trip reduction, and environmental mitigation. Packet Page 130 of 380 Introduction September 2009 1-7 Transportation 2040 PSRC is updating the current regional transportation plan, Destination 2030. The new plan, Transportation 2040, will extend the region’s long-range transportation vision to the year 2040 and respond to the recently updated regional growth strategy, VISION 2040. The plan is expected to be adopted in 2010 (Puget Sound Regional Council 2009). Six alternatives—the baseline plus five action alternatives—have been created during the initial planning process and each includes a funding strategy. The alternatives consider two related approaches to transportation investment: improving efficiency and strategic expansion. Improving efficiency means that we make better use of the system to move people and goods and that we attempt to reduce the demands on the system during peak hour travel. Efficiency also depends on better use of land to reduce the need to drive and to increase bicycle and pedestrian options. The updated plan will continue to meet federal and state transportation planning requirements (Puget Sound Regional Council 2009). Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies The Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies are written policies used to establish a countywide framework from which the county and cities’ comprehensive plans are developed. The Countywide Planning Policies were originally adopted in 1994 and were last amended in 2008. Future amendments will be in response to changes in the countywide growth strategy, changes in the GMA, decisions of the Growth Management Hearings Board, and issues involving local plan implementation. Countywide Planning Policies include the following: x Policies to implement urban growth areas; x Policies for the promotion of contiguous and orderly development and provision of urban services; x Policies for rural land use; x Policies for housing; x Policies for the siting of public capital facilities of a countywide or statewide nature; x Policies for economic development and employment; x Fiscal impact analysis; x Policies for transportation. Transportation policies are intended to guide transportation planning by the county and cities within Snohomish County and to provide the basis for regional coordination with WSDOT and transportation operating agencies. The policies ensure that the countywide transportation systems are adequate to serve the level of land development that is allowed and forecasted. Packet Page 131 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-8 Edmonds Comprehensive Plan The most current update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan was adopted in December 2008. The Comprehensive Plan has the following purposes: ƒTo serve as the basis for municipal policy on development and to provide guiding principles and objectives for the development of regulations. ƒTo promote the public health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and the general welfare and values of the community. ƒTo anticipate and influence the orderly and coordinated development of land and building use of the city and its environs, and conserve and restore natural beauty and other natural resources. ƒTo encourage coordinated development and discourage piecemeal, spot or strip zoning and inharmonious subdividing. ƒTo facilitate adequate provisions for public services such as transportation, police and fire protection, water supply, sewage treatment, and parks. (City of Edmonds 2008) The Comprehensive Plan serves as the City’s primary growth management tool. A community such as Edmonds, with attractive natural features, a pleasant residential atmosphere and proximity to a large urban center, is subject to constant growth pressures. Growth management is intended to provide a long-range strategy guiding how the City will develop and how services will be provided. GMA requires that jurisdictions plan to accommodate housing and employment forecasts for the next 20 years within Urban Growth Areas. The City of Edmonds’ share of regional growth by the year 2025 is 5,420 additional residents (approximately 3,079 residential units) compared to 2000. By 2025, total population is expected to reach 44,880 residents. An extensive public process was conducted for the 2004 comprehensive plan update. It included numerous public workshops, open houses, and televised work sessions both at the Planning Board and City Council. Three public hearings were held at the Planning Board and two public hearings were held at the City Council. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. As discussed in the VISION 2040 discussion above, the City’s next major update to the Comprehensive Plan is due in 2011, and will demonstrate alignment with the VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy, including expanded provisions for addressing health and the built environment, design, environmental planning and climate change. Packet Page 132 of 380 Introduction September 2009 1-9 Public Participation The Comprehensive Transportation Plan has included a significant amount of community involvement at all stages of the planning and development process, starting with the original Plan development in 1995, and continuing in the major Plan updates that have been completed in 2002 and 2009. Original 1995 Transportation Plan When the Transportation Element was initially created in 1995, citizens were encouraged to participate through completion of questionnaires and involvement in public open houses. In addition, a six-member Citizen Advisory Committee was established to oversee all aspects of the plan as it was developed. The project was launched with a brochure mailed to each of the approximately 14,000 residences and businesses in the city. The brochure explained the purpose of the Transportation Plan, the planning process, the components of the plan, and public participation opportunities. The brochure also contained a mail-back questionnaire through which respondents could identify problems with congestion, speeding and safety, as well as any other traffic problems that they perceived. Approximately 150 citizens provided input by returning the questionnaires. 2002 Transportation Plan Update For the 2002 update of the Transportation Plan, the City implemented a community involvement strategy that included public open houses and the participation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC). Two public open houses provided a forum for the citizens to identify high priority transportation issues, and to review and provide comments on various components of the proposed Transportation Plan. Participants in the open houses provided suggestions for improving roadway infrastructure (i.e. signals, pavement marking, roadway width), transit, and pedestrian access; and identified issues related to roadway connectivity, speeding and cut-through traffic (with support for traffic calming), and access issues for disabled citizens. Two advisory committees, the TAC and CAC, were formed to oversee the 2002 Transportation Element Update. The TAC was made up in part by representatives from various City departments, including Engineering, Planning, Public Works, Parks, Fire, Police, and the School Districts. In addition, the TAC membership included representatives from WSDOT, Snohomish County, Washington State Ferries, Community Transit, Sound Transit, and the neighboring City of Lynnwood. Membership in the CAC included representatives from Bicycle Facilities, Parking, Development, as well as a wide variety of neighborhoods and corridors throughout the city. Packet Page 133 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-10 In addition to the jurisdictions represented on the TAC, the following agencies reviewed the Transportation Plan: the City of Mountlake Terrace, the City of Shoreline, the Town of Woodway, and PSRC. 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan Feedback obtained from open houses, citizen committee involvement, and intergovernmental coordination was very useful to the initial development and subsequent revision of the Transportation Plan, greatly enhancing its effectiveness. These efforts led to more realistic assessments of existing conditions and impacts of forecasted growth, as well as the identification of appropriate measures to address both current and future conditions. Public Open Houses Three public open houses were held at Edmonds City Hall to inform the community about the Comprehensive Transportation Plan and gather comments on transportation improvement priorities. The first open house was held on June 19, 2008. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the project to citizens, share the existing transportation inventories and existing conditions analyses that had been completed, and gather input from participants on the transportation issues they felt are most important. The second meeting was held on March 5, 2009. The purpose of this meeting was to share the results of future conditions analyses, present the preliminary list of recommended transportation projects, present that preliminary cost and revenue projections, and solicit citizen input on project funding priorities. The third meeting was held on June 30, 2009. The purpose of this meeting was to share the recommended transportation projects, which had been refined to incorporate the feedback gathered on the preliminary list, and also to discuss the financial outlook for transportation capital projects and solicit citizen input on potential funding strategies. Each meeting began with a presentation by project staff, providing an overview of project objectives, and specifics such as the existing conditions assessment, potential transportation improvement projects, anticipated costs and available revenues, and potential funding opportunities. Following each presentation, participants were invited to view display boards and fact sheets, talk with project staff, and submit comment cards. Citizen comments helped guide the city staff to identify project priorities and viable funding sources, and finalize the recommended Transportation Plan. The public open houses were publicized through notice in the City newsletter, City website, advertisement on the local government channel, and meeting notification in the local newspaper. Public participation materials used for this update process are included in Appendix A. Packet Page 134 of 380 Introduction September 2009 1-11 Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee The City of Edmonds Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee is comprised of eight citizens who meet monthly with City engineering staff. The purpose of the Committee is to: ƒMonitor and make recommendations relative to motorized and non-motorized transportation issues, systems and funding; ƒContribute input to updates of the City Comprehensive Transportation Plan and monitor the efforts to implement the improvements detailed in the Plan; and ƒEnhance communication with the public with regard to transportation needs. The Transportation Committee provided transportation recommendations for updates reflected in this Transportation Plan. City staff worked with Transportation Committee members throughout the Plan development to update the City’s transportation goals and policies, discuss Plan elements, and determine how best to produce a balanced multimodal plan. Walkway Committee The Edmonds Walkway Committee is comprised of 12 citizen volunteers, who walk frequently and live throughout the city. Their role is to evaluate criteria such as safety and access to schools and parks; prioritize proposed sidewalk project based on the criteria; and to provide feedback and recommendations related to the City Comprehensive Walkway Plan. The Walkway Committee met monthly from March 2008 through September 2008 and provided walkway recommendations presented in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan. Edmonds Bike Group The long-standing group meets monthly to discuss bicycle transportation issues. Membership includes over 50 residents, with about 10 members who regularly attend monthly group meetings. Members represent Edmonds and Woodway and are interested in improving citywide bicycle infrastructure and conditions for bicycle travel. The Bike Group helped establish three bicycle loop trails as well as a bike map indicating existing local bicycle lanes and where lanes should be added as part of future roadway improvement projects. The Bike Group’s recommendations are also included in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan. Intergovernmental Coordination The following agencies reviewed this Comprehensive Transportation Plan: WSDOT, PSRC, Community Transit, Snohomish County, City of Mountlake Terrace, City of Shoreline, and Town of Woodway. Packet Page 135 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-12 Overview of the Transportation Plan Elements This Comprehensive Transportation Plan includes the following elements: ƒChapter 2: Goals, Objectives, and Policies – Presents the transportation goals, objectives, and policies that guide the assessments of existing and future conditions, and the development of the Recommended Transportation Plan. ƒChapter 3: Street System – Provides an inventory of existing streets, existing and projected future traffic volumes, assessment of existing and projected future roadway operations, safety assessment, standards for different street types, and recommended improvements to address safety and mobility needs. ƒChapter 4: Non-Motorized System – Provides an inventory of existing walkways and bikeways, assessment of needs, strategy for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and recommended improvements to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety. ƒChapter 5: Transit and Transportation Demand Management – Provides an inventory of existing transit facilities and service, including buses, rail and ferries; and presents strategies to support transit and commute trip reduction. ƒChapter 6: Implementation and Financial Plan – Provides a summary of the projects, project prioritization, total costs, and financial strategies and projected revenue for recommended improvements through 2025. Packet Page 136 of 380 September 2009 2-1 Chapter 2. Goals, Objectives, and Policies Assessments of existing and future conditions, as well as development of the Transportation Plan, are guided by transportation goals, objectives, and policies developed by the City. A major update of the goals, objectives, and policies took place as part of the 2002 update of the Transportation Element, under the direction of the Citizen Advisory and Technical Advisory Committees. The goals, objectives, and policies were further refined as part of the 2009 Transportation Plan, under the direction of the Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee. Goals, objectives and policies are defined under the following major categories: ƒState and Regional Context ƒStreets and Highways ƒPedestrian and Bicycle Transportation ƒPublic Transportation ƒStreetscape ƒCapital Facilities ƒTraffic Calming ƒAir Quality and Climate Change Under each category, the following information is provided: A.General consists of a general discussion of the context, issues and priorities behind the development of the goals, objectives and policies for that category. B.Goals are generalized statements which broadly relate the physical environment to values, but for which no test for fulfillment can be readily applied. C.Objectives are specific measurable statements related to the attainment of goals. Packet Page 137 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-2 D. Under each objective,Policies are listed that provide specific direction for meeting the objectives. The transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan is guided by the following transportation goals and policies, initially developed for the 1995 Transportation Element and updated in 2002 and 2009. Inevitably, conflict will occasionally arise between a transportation policy and real- world constraints and opportunities, or even between two policies. After the specifics of the situation and the purpose of the policies are fully understood, the conflict will be resolved using the best judgment of the City Council, as advised by City staff and the Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee. The following sub-sections define each of the Transportation Policies to guide the development of transportation in the city, within the broader framework of the Goals and Objectives. 15.25.000 State and Regional Context A.General: The combination of an increasing population, demand for transportation, and ever tightening limits on funding has led to a need to plan for future transportation systems that are more efficient movers of people and goods. Public transportation is expected to play an increasing role in the transportation system, and state and regional priorities are being shifted to encourage this goal. For this strategy to work, however, it also requires a commitment to maintaining existing transportation networks and investments, and to providing connections between different modes of travel. B.State Goal: Encourage efficient multi-modal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans. Regional Goal: Strategically invest in a variety of mobility options and demand management to support the regional system of activity centers. 15.25.010 Streets and Highways A.General. The street system in Edmonds is established on the Official Street Map and Arterial System Map. New right-of-way additions occur primarily in subdivisions. Within the city, three state highways, rail, and ferry facilities serve regional travel. A significant challenge facing the City is to bring substandard streets to City standards by providing such facilities as underground utilities, sidewalks, bikeways and landscaping. Key intersections that are operating at or beyond capacity must be improved. Feedback from citizens who participated in public meetings has clearly indicated concern about the types of potential transportation improvements, and the impact of improvements on existing neighborhoods. By placing an emphasis on providing facilities for bicycles, pedestrians, and buses, streetscapes can become a friendlier environment for all users. Packet Page 138 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-3 Speed and noise can be problems where arterial streets adjoin residential neighborhoods. Land use changes frequently occur where major arterial streets are improved. B.Goal I: Develop transportation systems that complement the land use, parks, cultural, and sustainability elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal II: Provide transportation services that enhance the safety of the community, maximize the use of the existing street system, and maintain the unique character of the city and its neighborhoods. Goal III: Implement transportation improvements in a way that minimizes adverse impacts on the natural environment, air quality, climate change, and energy consumption. Goal IV: Develop transportation improvements that support commuting in a way that discourages the use of local streets. Goal V: Prioritize and finance transportation improvements for the greatest public benefit, emphasizing transit, demand management, and maintenance of current facilities. Goal VI: Take a leadership role in coordinating the transportation actions of both local and non-local agencies. Seek to promote creative, coordinated solutions that do the following: ƒMeet transportation service needs; ƒLink local transportation networks with regional, state and national transportation systems; ƒIncrease use of public transit and non-motorized transportation; ƒReduce congestion; ƒReduce energy consumption; ƒProvide solutions consistent with the City’s land use and cultural goals, and sustainability initiatives. C.Objective 1: Community Standards. The goals of the Comprehensive Plan, the needs and desires of its citizens, the integrity of its neighborhoods, shopping areas, parks, recreation facilities, schools and other public facilities are the criteria for measuring the effectiveness and success of transportation programs and improvements. Policy 1.1 Locate and design streets and highways to meet the demands of both existing and projected land uses as provided for in the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 1.2 Locate and design street and highway improvements to respect the residential character of the community and its quality living environment. Policy 1.3 Minimize the adverse impact of street and highway improvements on the natural environment. Packet Page 139 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-4 Policy 1.4 Design streets to minimize environmental impacts on established neighborhoods. Policy 1.5 Develop roadway design standards with sufficient flexibility to reflect the differences in character and function of different roadways. Objective 2: Conservation. Streets, sidewalks and bikeways should be located, designed and improved in a manner that will conserve land, materials and energy. New streets must meet minimum City standards and code requirements. Streets and highways should be integrated into the total transportation system to facilitate the development of public transportation and increase mobility while reducing travel time and costs of construction and maintenance, in accordance with the following policies: Policy 2.1 Design streets with the minimum pavement areas needed, to reduce impervious surfaces. Policy 2.2 Include pedestrian and bicycle elements in roadway improvements to encourage energy conservation. Policy 2.3 Utilize innovative materials where feasible to reduce impervious surfaces. Policy 2.4 Design arterial and collector streets as complete streets that serve automobile, transit, pedestrian and bicycle travel. Objective 3: Design Standards. Design requirements for streets and alleys should be related to needs and desires of the local community within reasonable guidelines for safety, function, aesthetic appearance and cost. Each new street improvement should be scaled to the density, land use, and overall function that the roadway is designed to serve, in accordance with the following policies: Policy 3.1 Design local residential streets to prevent or discourage use as shortcuts for vehicle through-traffic. Coordinate local traffic control measures with the affected neighborhood. Policy 3.2 Periodically review functional classifications of city streets, and adjust the classifications when appropriate. Policy 3.3 Provide on-street parking as a secondary street function, only in specifically designated areas such as in the downtown business district and in residential areas where onsite parking is limited. Streets should not be designed to provide on-street parking as a primary function, particularly in areas with frequent transit service Policy 3.4 Encourage parking on one side rather than both sides of streets with narrow rights-of-way. Packet Page 140 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-5 Policy 3.5 Design streets to accommodate vehicles which use the street most frequently, rather than large vehicles which may use the street only occasionally. Policy 3.6 Relate required street widths to the function and operating standards for the street. Policy 3.7 Include analysis of geological, topographical, and hydrological conditions in street design. Policy 3.8 Encourage landscaping on residential streets to preserve existing trees and vegetation, increase open spaces, and decrease impervious surfaces. Landscaping may be utilized to provide visual and physical barriers but should be carefully designed not to interfere with motorists’ sight distance and traffic, pedestrian, bicycle, and wheel chair safety. Landscaping improvements should take maintenance requirements into consideration. Policy 3.9 Encourage underground placements of utilities at the time of extensive street improvement. Policy 3.10 Encourage placement of underground conduit for future installation of fiber optic cable at the time of extensive street improvement. Policy 3.11 Design street improvements so as not to impair the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and bicycle traffic. Policy 3.12 Restrict access between non-arterial streets and the SR 99 commercial corridor to the extent necessary to prevent nonresidential traffic from entering residential areas, and to maintain efficient traffic flow and turning movements on SR 99. Policy 3.13 Design street improvements to encourage downtown traffic circulation to flow in and around commercial blocks, promoting customer convenience and reducing congestion. Separate through-traffic from local traffic circulation to encourage and support customer access. Policy 3.14 Carefully review parking requirements for downtown development proposals; to promote the development while still ensuring adequate balance between parking supply and demand. Policy 3.15 Provide access between private property and the public street system that is safe and convenient, and incorporates the following considerations: a. Limit and provide access to the street network in a manner consistent with the function and purpose of each roadway. Encourage the preparation of comprehensive access plans and consolidation of access points in commercial and residential areas through shared driveways and local access streets. Packet Page 141 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-6 b. Require new development to consolidate and minimize access points along all state highways, principal arterials, and minor arterials. c. Place a high priority on consolidating existing access points onto all arterial streets in the city. This effort should be coordinated with local business and property owners in conjunction with improvements to the arterial system and redevelopment of adjacent land parcels. d. Design the street system so that the majority of direct residential access is provided via local streets. e. For access onto state highways, implement Chapter 468-52 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Highway Access Management -- Access Control Classification System and Standards. Policy 3.16 Encourage underground parking as part of new development. Objective 4: Circulation. Circulation and connectivity throughout the city should be via the system of arterial and collector streets, bikeways and pedestrian paths. Local streets should be utilized for local property access and designed in a manner to discourage cut- through vehicular traffic. Policy 4.1 Encourage the efficient movement of people and goods through an effective and inter-connected collector and arterial street system. Policy 4.2 The use of dead end streets and culs-de-sac should be avoided. When unavoidable, the length of a dead end street, including cul-de-sac, should be limited to 600 feet, with a minimum 35-foot radius to back of curb on the cul-de-sac. Policy 4.32 Complete the arterial sidewalk system according to the following priority list: a. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is provided; b. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is not provided; c. Arterial roadways with shoulders too narrow or in or poor walking condition for pedestrians; d. Arterial roadways with adequate shoulders for pedestrians but without sidewalks; and e. The remainder of the arterial roadway system (e.g. roads with sidewalks along one side, or roads with sidewalks in disrepair). Policy 4.43 Design streets to accommodate emergency service vehicles. Packet Page 142 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-7 Policy 4.54 Coordinate traffic signals located within ½ mile of each other to decrease delay and improve operations. Objective 5: New Development. Improve traffic safety and reduce congestion through appropriate street design and site layout during the development process. Policy 5.1 Require new development to dedicate adequate street rights-of-way for public streets as specified by City Standards. Policy 5.2 Use public rights-of-way only for public purposes. The private use of a public right-of-way is prohibited unless expressly granted by the City. Policy 5.3 Acquire easements and/or development rights in lieu of rights-of-way for installation of some smaller facilities such as sidewalks and bikeways. Policy 5.4 Convert private streets to public streets only when: a. The City Council has determined that a public benefit would result. b. The street has been improved to the appropriate City public street standard. c. The City Engineer has determined that conversion will have minimal effect on the City’s street maintenance budget. d. In the case that the conversion is initiated by the owner(s) of the road, that the owner(s) finance the survey and legal work required for the conversion. 15.25.020 Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation A.General. Walking and bicycling are beneficial forms of recreation, transportation, and a means of maintaining physical fitness, in addition to an excellent means of exploring the community. Carefully targeted investments in the city’s non-motorized network have the potential to provide an enhanced level of accessibility and mobility to residents at a relatively low cost. With geographically strategic investments in facilities such as sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle paths and bicycle lanes, many short trips that are currently taken by car could be shifted to walking or bicycling trips. Recreational walkways are discussed in the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Walkway Plan (summarized in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan) and incorporate existing sidewalks and natural trails. Sidewalks exist on many major streets but some improvements are needed as well as addition of these facilities on several important routes. Although bicycling has rapidly expanded as a recreational activity in the community, it is also an important means of transportation. For many people, it provides the only available form of local transportation. The Bikeway Comprehensive Plan (summarized in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan) provides guidance and prioritizes bicycle improvements throughout the city. Packet Page 143 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-8 Planning for and implementing a connected system of walkways and bikeways is a way to promote community health, as recognized in the “Community Sustainability Element” of the Comprehensive Plan currently being developed by the City. B.Goal VII: Improve non-motorized transportation facilities and services. C.Objective 6: Sidewalks. Provide safe, efficient and attractive pedestrian facilities as an essential element of the city circulation and recreation system.

Policy 6.6 Place highest priority on provision of lighting on sidewalks and crosswalks that regularly carry non-motorized traffic at night. Policy 6.7 Locate sidewalks to facilitate community access to parks, schools, neighborhoods, and shopping centers. Policy 6.8 Locate sidewalks along transit routes to provide easy access to transit stops. Policy 6.9 Implement a curb ramp retrofit program to upgrade existing sub-standard pedestrian ramps and curb cuts to meet the requirements of the ADA. Policy 6.10 Maintain existing public sidewalks. Policy 6.11 Place highest priority on pedestrian safety in areas frequented by children, such as near schools, parks, and playgrounds. Provide walkways in these areas at every opportunity. Policy 6.12 Periodically review and update walkway construction priorities in the Transportation Plan. Policy 6.13 Design pedestrian improvements to include curbs, gutters and sidewalks, in accordance with the Edmonds Streetscape Plan (City of Edmonds 2006), including the Street Tree Plan. Provide tree grates between the curb and sidewalk, where appropriate, with adequate levels of Packet Page 144 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-9 illumination and low water requirements. The landscape buffers must not obstruct minimum sight distances. Policy 6.14 Require sidewalk construction along street frontages to complete missing links, increase pedestrian safety, and provide linkages to key destinations, as a condition of development approval in accordance with ECDC 18.90 and Transportation Policies 7.1 through 7.4. Policy 6.15 Conduct pedestrian safety studies at locations where regular pedestrian crossings are observed along unstriped stretches of road. Install crosswalks at locations where the study indicates they are warranted, and where a minimum sight distance between pedestrians and drivers are met. Policy 6.16 Encourage the use of innovative crosswalk treatments, such as pedestrian actuated flashing signals or pedestrian crossing flags. Policy 6.17 Encourage collaboration between the Engineering and Parks departments to develop a network of walkways throughout the city. This network could include but not be limited to signed loop trails in neighborhoods, park-to-park walkways, and theme-related walks. Policy 6.18 Encourage separation of walkways from bikeways, where feasible. Policy 6.19 Provide a complete sidewalk network in commercial areas, especially downtown, as an element of public open space that supports pedestrian and commercial activity. Objective 7: Sidewalk Construction Policy. Require sidewalks to be constructed as a condition of development, for those projects that increase the number of residential units, or include commercial development or other uses that generate pedestrian acitivity. Policy 7.1 The City Engineer will determine whether sidewalks are required as a condition of approval for development projects. If they are required, the developer shall construct sidewalks along the street(s) fronted by the project, including new streets constructed as part of the development. If one or a combination of the following criteria is applicable to a project, sidewalks will be required as a condition of approval: a. Sidewalks are required by ECDC 18.90.030; b. Any sidewalks presently exist within 1,000 feet of the proposed development project on the street(s) on which the project fronts; c. The current Walkway Plan (chapter 4) indicates sidewalks/walkways are proposed at the project location (see Figure 4.3); Packet Page 145 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-10 d. The current Bikeway Plan (chapter 4) indicates a designated or proposed designated bikeway at the project location (see Figure 4-6); and/or e. The project is located within 1,000 feet and on a street leading to facilities such as parks, schools, churches, shopping/commercial establishments, etc., which generate pedestrian traffic. Policy 7.2 Require sidewalks on both sides of the street inside the designated Downtown Sidewalk Area (see Figure 3-9). Policy 7.3 Sidewalks will not be required as a condition of approval if: a. The City Engineer makes an affirmative determination that none of the above criteria apply to the project, and that sidewalks are not necessary and will not be necessary for the foreseeable future; and/or b. The City Engineer, with the approval of the Planning Manager, determines that, in accordance with ECDC 18.90.030.B, special circumstances exist related to topography, insufficient right-of-way, or other factors making construction of sidewalks economically unfeasible or physically impossible. Policy 7.4 When the City Engineer determines that sidewalks are required as a condition of approval, payment-in-lieu of construction will be allowed only if: a. The City’s six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a specifically identified City project for sidewalks at the location of the development project, and b. The City Engineer determines that it will be in the best interest of the City to construct sidewalks at the development project location as part of and concurrently with the City’s identified capital project. Objective 8: Bicycle Facilities. Provide safe and efficient bicycle facilities as an essential element of the city circulation and recreation system. Safe bicycle facilities must be an integral part of the City’s street and recreation plans to encourage and promote bicycling for both transportation and recreational purposes. Policy 8.1 Seek opportunities to improve safety for those who bicycle in the city. Policy 8.2 Place highest priority for improvements to bicycle facilities near schools, commercial districts, and transit facilities.

Policy 11.3 Include boarding pads at bus stop sites as part of sidewalk construction projects, to allow for shelters. Policy 11.4 Work with Community Transit to provide additional passenger shelters and benches at bus stops sites within Edmonds. Objective 12: Roadway Infrastructure. Provide a roadway network that supports the provision of public transportation within the city. Policy 12.1 Design Arterial and Collector roadways to accommodate buses and other modes of public transportation (including the use of high occupancy vehicle priority treatments, transit signal priority, queue bypass lanes, boarding pads and shelter pads, and transit-only lanes where appropriate). Policy 12.2 Coordinate with local public transit agencies and private transit providers regarding road closures or other events that may disrupt normal transit operations in order to minimize impacts to transit customers. 15.25.040 Streetscape A.General. The City is a place with unique character and beauty. The street system has a tremendous impact on the scenic quality of our community and should complement our setting, while supporting our neighborhoods. B.Goal X: Incorporate streetscape design in the development and redevelopment of city streets to enhance the scenic beauty of, and help preserve, our neighborhoods. The Edmonds Packet Page 150 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-15 Streetscape Plan (City of Edmonds 2006), including the Street Tree Plan, shall guide the development of these design standards, which need to also recognize the unique neighborhood characteristics. C.Objective 13: Design Standards. Develop design standards that result in an attractive street system consistent with the character of the city. Policy 13.1 Crosswalks should be eight feet wide. Policy 13.2 Streetlights should be the main light source for public streets, with the following minimum standards: a. The intersection of arterial and collector streets should have a minimum of two standard street lights with additional street lights placed at a maximum of 250-foot spacing between intersections; b. The intersection of residential local streets should have at least one standard street light; c. Streetlights and poles should be of a high design quality, with specifications guided by the Edmonds Streetscape Plan. Policy 13.3 Street trees should be installed at 50-foot intervals or one per lot whichever is greater. Plant materials should be specified by the City Parks Department and maintained in conformance with City policies. Care should be taken in both the selection and placement of landscaping materials to protect existing scenic views and vistas. 15.25.050 Capital Facilities, Transportation A.General. The following goals, objectives and policies address capital facility planning and financing for projects contained in the transportation element of the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. These criteria will serve to guide agencies planning public capital facilities and services in Edmonds. B.Goal XI: Provide adequate transportation facilities concurrent with the impact of new development. Goal XII: Coordinate the City’s transportation element plans with state, county, and local agencies. Goal XIII: Maintain a six-year TIP as part of the capital facilities plan of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal XIV: Prepare and maintain a TIP that is financially feasible and financially constrained. Goal XV: Ensure development pays a proportionate cost of transportation improvements required to mitigate impacts associated with the development. Packet Page 151 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-16 Goal XVI: Locate and design transportation facilities in keeping with the community character, and to be compatible with surrounding land uses and the environment. C.Objective 14: Inventory. Identify and define the transportation facilities in the city. Policy 14.1 Maintain an inventory of existing transportation facilities owned or operated by the City and State within Edmonds; include the locations and capacities of such facilities and systems. Objective 15: Level of Service. Establish level of service (LOS) standards for City owned transportation facilities in Edmonds and coordinate with the State on LOS standards for state owned facilities. Policy 15.1 The Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board, Special Report 209) is the City’s recognized source for roadway LOS definition and analysis techniques. The quality of traffic operation is graded into one of six LOS designations, A through F, with LOS A representing the free flow traffic operation and LOS F representing the worst levels of traffic congestion. Policy 15.2 Establish LOS standards which (1) measure the LOS preferred by city residents, (2) that can be achieved and maintained for existing development and growth anticipated in the land use plan, and (3) are achievable with the TIP and Comprehensive Plan. Policy 15.3 Minimum LOS standards are established as follows. LOS is measured at intersections during a typical weekday PM peak hour, using analysis methods outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000). For intersections of roads with different functional classifications, the standard for the higher classification shall apply. Facility Standard City Streets Arterials: LOS D or better (except state routes); Collectors: LOS C or better. State Routes1 SR 99 north of SR 104; SR 524: LOS E or better. 1. State routes for which a standard are designated Highways of Regional Significance, and are subject to City concurrency requirements. State routes designated as Highways of Statewide Significance (SR 104; and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined for these facilities. However, to monitor operations on Highways of Statewide Significance, the City identifies existing or potential future deficiencies if LOS D is exceeded. Policy 15.4 When a lower order roadway intersects with one of higher order, apply the LOS standard for the higher order roadway (e.g., when a collector and arterial street intersect, the LOS for the arterial street will apply). Policy 15.5 Use LOS standards to (1) determine the need for transportation facilities, and (2) test the adequacy of such facilities to serve proposed Packet Page 152 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-17 development. In addition, use LOS standards for City-owned transportation facilities to help develop the City’s annual budget and 6- year transportation improvements program. Policy 15.6 Reassess the TIP annually to ensure that transportation facilities needs, financing, and levels of service are consistent with the City’s land use plan. The annual update should be coordinated with the annual budget process, and the annual amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 15.7 Work toward development of a multi-modal LOS standard that considers transit and non-motorized operations as well as automobile operations. Objective 16: Transportation System Efficiency. Implement a variety of strategies that respond to the demands of growth on transportation facilities while maximizing the efficiency of the existing infrastructure. Policy 16.1 Ensure city transportation facilities and services are provided concurrent with new development or redevelopment to mitigate impacts created from such development. Road improvements may be funded with mitigation fees, and provided at the time of or within six years of development. Policy 16.2 Maximize efficiencies of existing transportation facilities, using techniques such as: ƒTransportation Demand Management ƒEncouraging development to use existing facilities ƒOther methods of improved efficiency. Policy 16.3 Provide additional transportation facility capacity when existing facilities are used to their maximum level of efficiency consistent with adopted LOS standards. Policy 16.4 Encourage development where adequate transportation facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. Prioritize location of large trip generators (e.g. community centers, recreation facilities, shopping, entertainment, public facilities, etc.) within 0.25 mile of Transit Emphasis Corridors as identified in Community Transit’s Six Year Transit Development Plan and Long Range Transit Plan. Policy 16.5 Work with Community Transit to encourage ridesharing at employment centers. Objective 17: Coordination. Coordinate transportation planning and programming with state, regional, county, and local agencies Packet Page 153 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-18 Policy 17.1 Coordinate with non-City providers of transportation facilities and services on a joint program for maintaining adopted LOS standards, funding, and construction of capital improvements. Work in partnership with non-City transportation facility providers to prepare functional plans consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. Policy 17.2 Regularly coordinate with WSDOT, Washington State Ferries, Community Transit, King County Metro, Snohomish County, the Town of Woodway, and the Cities of Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Shoreline, and Mukilteo, to ensure levels of service for transportation facilities are compatible. Objective 18: Financing. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are financially feasible. Policy 18.1 Base the financing plan for transportation facilities on estimates of current local revenues and external revenues that are reasonably anticipated to be received by the City. Policy 18.2 Finance the six-year TIP within the City's financial capacity to achieve a balance between available revenue and expenditures related to transportation facilities. If projected funding is inadequate to finance needed transportation facilities, based on adopted LOS standards and forecasted growth, the City should explore one or more of the following options: ƒLower the LOS standard ƒChange the Land Use Plan ƒIncrease the amount of revenue from existing sources ƒAdopt new sources of revenue Policy 18.3 Encourage Neighborhood planning to afford neighborhoods the opportunity to form Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) to develop locally based improvements that exceed City standards (e.g. for parking, median strips, landscaping, traffic calming, walkways or other locally- determined projects). Policy 18.4 Seek to balance funding to support multimodal solutions to transportation needs. Objective 19: Revenue. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are fully funded. Policy 19.1 Match revenue sources to transportation improvements on the basis of sound fiscal policies. Packet Page 154 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-19 Policy 19.2 Revise the TIP in the event that revenue sources for transportation improvements, which require voter approval in a local referendum, are not approved. Policy 19.3 Ensure that ongoing operating and maintenance costs associated with a transportation facility are financially feasible prior to constructing the facility. Objective 20: Concurrency. Ensure existing and future development pays for the costs of needed transportation improvements. Policy 20.1 Ensure that existing development pays for transportation improvements that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies, and pays for some or all of the cost to replace obsolete or worn out facilities. Existing development may also pay a portion of the cost of transportation improvements needed by future development. Existing development's payments may take the form of user fees, charges for services, special assessments, and taxes. Policy 20.2 Ensure that future development pays a proportionate share of the cost to mitigate impacts associated with new facilities. Future development may also pay a portion of the cost to replace obsolete or worn-out facilities. Future development's payments may take the form of voluntary contributions for the benefit of any transportation facility, impact fees, mitigation payments, capacity fees, dedications of land, provision of transportation facilities, and future payments of users fees, charges for services, special assessments, and taxes. Objective 21: Partnerships. Seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens to the City due to the location of essential transportation facilities. Policy 21.1 Through joint planning or inter-local agreements, the City should seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens that result from the location of essential transportation facilities. Policy 21.2 Seek amenities or incentives for neighborhoods in which the facilities are located, to compensate for adverse impacts. 15.25.060 Traffic Calming A.General. Speeding is the single most received complaint regarding traffic. Locations include arterials, local access and commercial access streets, and in residential neighborhoods. Citizens have expressed concern about the safety of children walking along roadways or playing near the street, vehicles entering streets from driveways or at intersections, and cut- through traffic. The City should establish a systematic and consistent way of responding to requests for action, while respecting the City’s limited finances and staff resources. The City Packet Page 155 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-20 must also remain cognizant of the transportation system’s need to carry vehicles efficiently and effectively. B.Goal XVII: Respond to citizen requests concerning traffic speed and pass through traffic in a consistent, systematic and responsive manner, while maintaining the basic function of the Edmonds street system. C.Objective 22: Traffic Calming. Maintain a response system to citizen requests concerning traffic calming procedures by implementing the Traffic Calming program described in this Transportation Plan (see Appendix B). Policy 22.1 Use a formal written procedure for traffic calming requests, and an acknowledgement procedure for receipt of request. Policy 22.2 Use field investigation procedures that include short-term solutions. Policy 22.3 Use neighborhood speed watch program. Policy 22.4 Publicize the formal procedure for traffic calming requests (Policy 22.1) and neighborhood speed watch program (Policy 22.3). Policy 22.5 Use permanent traffic calming request procedures and evaluation procedures. Policy 22.6 Use permanent traffic calming design criteria. Policy 22.7 Use a permanent traffic calming authorization procedure. Policy 22.8 Use a permanent traffic calming implementation procedure. Policy 22.9 Traffic calming measures should be located and designed so as not to interfere with bus operation, travel speed, or on-time performance. 15.25.070 Air Quality and Climate Change A.General. The Washington State Clean Air Conformity Act establishes guidelines and directives for implementing the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments. The Washington Administrative Code requires local transportation plans to include policies that promote the reduction of criteria pollutants that exceed national ambient air quality standards. Environmental quality is recognized as a critical part of what people often describe as the “character” of Edmonds. In the “Community Sustainability Element” of the Comprehensive Plan, the City recognizes that global climate change brings significant risks to the community, and that appropriate transportation policies are required. B.Goal XVIII: Comply with Federal and State air quality requirements. Goal XIX: Promote transportation options such as bicycle trails, commute trip reduction programs, incentives for car pooling and public transit, in an effort to meet or exceed Kyoto protocol targets for reducing global warming pollution. Packet Page 156 of 380 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-21 C.Objective 22: Air Quality. Participate in efforts by Puget Sound agencies to improve air quality as it is affected by the movement of people and goods through and around the city. Policy 23.1 Strive to conform to the Federal and State Clean Air Acts by working to help implement the Metropolitan Transportation Plan of the PSRC and by following the requirements of Chapter 173-420 of the WAC. Policy 23.2 Support transportation investments that advance alternatives to driving alone, as a measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in turn reduce the effect of citywide transportation on global climate change.

Street System This chapter provides an inventory of the existing street system, assessment of existing and projected future roadway operations, safety assessment, design standards for different street types, and recommended projects and programs to address safety and mobility needs. Roadway Functional Classification Existing Classifications All streets in the city have a designated functional classification. The functional classification of a street depends on the types of trips that occur on it, the basic purpose for which it was designed, and the relative level of traffic volume it carries. The different classifications of roadways serve different stages of a trip: ƒTraveler accesses roadway system from origin (access), ƒTraveler travels through roadway system (mobility), and ƒTraveler accesses destination from roadway system (access). The different types of roads that serve these functions are classified as follows. ƒFreeway – Multi-lane, high-speed, high-capacity road intended exclusively for motorized traffic. All access is controlled by interchanges and road crossings are grade-separated. No freeways pass through Edmonds, though Interstate-5 (I-5) runs to the east of the city limits. ƒPrincipal Arterial – Road that connects major activity centers and facilities, typically constructed with limited direct access to abutting land uses. The primary function of principal arterials is to provide a high degree of vehicle mobility, but they may provide a minor amount of land access. Principal arterials serve high traffic volume corridors, carrying the greatest portion of through or long-distance traffic within a city, and serving inter-community trips. Packet Page 159 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-2 On-street parking is often limited to improve capacity for through-traffic. Typically, principal arterials are multi-lane facilities and have traffic signals at intersections with other arterials. Regional bus routes are generally located on principal arterials, as are transfer centers and park-and-ride lots. Principal arterials usually have sidewalks and sometimes have separate bicycle facilities, so that non-motorized traffic is separated from vehicle traffic. ƒMinor Arterial – Road that connects centers and facilities within the community and serves some through-traffic, while providing a greater level of access to abutting properties. Minor arterials connect with other arterial and collector roads, and serve less concentrated traffic- generating areas, such as neighborhood shopping centers and schools. Provision for on-street parking varies by location. Although the dominant function of minor arterials is the movement of through-traffic, they also provide for considerable local traffic with origins or destinations at points along the corridor. Minor arterials also carry local and commuter bus routes. They usually have sidewalks and sometimes have separate bicycle facilities, so that non-motorized traffic is separated from vehicular traffic. ƒCollector – Road designed to fulfill both functions of mobility and land access. Collectors typically serve intra-community trips connecting residential neighborhoods with each other or activity centers, while also providing a high degree of property access within a localized area. These roadways “collect” vehicular trips from local access streets and distribute them to higher classification streets. Additionally, collectors provide direct services to residential areas, local parks, churches and areas with similar uses of the land. Typically, right-of-way and paving widths are narrower for collectors than arterials. They may only be two lanes wide and are quite often controlled with stop signs. Local bus routes often run on collectors, and they usually have sidewalks on at least one side of the street. ƒLocal Access – Road with a primary function of providing access to residences. Typically, they are only a few blocks long, are relatively narrow, and have low speeds. Local streets are generally not designed to accommodate buses, and often do not have sidewalks. Culs-de-sac are also considered local access streets. All streets in Edmonds that have not been designated as an arterial or a collector are local access streets. Local access streets make up the majority of the miles of roadway in the city. Figure 3-1 illustrates the basic tradeoffs that occur between mobility and access among the different functional classifications of roadways. Higher classes (e.g. freeways and arterials) provide a high degree of mobility and have more limited access to adjacent land uses, accommodating higher traffic volumes at higher speeds. Lower classes (e.g., local access streets) provide a high degree of access to adjacent land and are not intended to serve through traffic, carrying lower traffic volumes at lower speeds. Collectors generally provide a more balanced emphasis on traffic mobility and access to land uses. Cities and counties are required to adopt a street classification system that is consistent with these guidelines (RCW 35.78.010 and RCW 47.26.090). Figure 3-2 shows the existing road functional classifications for city streets. Packet Page 160 of 380 City of Edmonds Comprehensive Transportation Plan Figure 3-1.

Source: Federal Highway Administration 1989. Evaluation of Road Functional Classifications Over time, changes in traffic volumes and shifts in land use and traffic patterns may cause the function of a road to change. Thus, it is important to periodically review the functions city roads serve, and evaluate whether any changes in classification are warranted. The following guidelines are used for evaluating the classifications. 1.Average Daily Traffic (ADT) – Roadways with higher functional classifications typically carry higher traffic volumes. On high volume roadways, the demand for traffic mobility is more likely to outweigh the need for access to abutting land. Conversely, where volumes are lower the access function of the street will generally be more important than mobility for traffic. Traffic volumes alone do not provide the basis for classification, but are used in conjunction with the other criteria listed below. However, the following ranges are used as guidelines: - Minor Arterial Street: 3,000 to 15,000 ADT - Collector Street: 1,000 to 5,000 ADT 2.Non-motorized use – The accommodation of non-automobile modes, including walking, bicycling, and transit use is another important measure of a road’s function. Roads with higher classifications tend to serve more modes of travel. The more travel modes that a street accommodates, the greater the number of people that street serves, and the more important that street is to the movement of people, goods, and services throughout the city. 3.Street length – A street that is longer in length tends to function at a higher classification. This is due to the fact that longer (continuous) streets allow travelers to move between distant attractions with a limited number of turns, stops, and other distractions that discourage them Packet Page 163 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-6 from using streets of lower classification. Longer streets generally supply a higher level of mobility, compared to other streets that provide more access. 4.Street spacing – Streets of higher classification usually have greater traffic carrying capacity and fewer impediments to travel. Fewer facilities are needed to serve the traffic mobility demands of the community due to their efficiency in moving traffic. This typically means that fewer streets of higher classification are needed, so there will be greater distances between them. The farther the distance of a street from a higher classification street, the more likely it is that the street will function at a similar classification. A greater number of streets of lower classification are needed to provide access to abutting land. Therefore, they must be spaced more closely and there must be many more of them. It is considered most desirable to have a network of multiple lower classification streets feeding into progressively fewer higher classified streets. Based on these guidelines, typical spacing for the different classifications of roadways are as follows: - Principal Arterials: 1.0 mile - Minor Arterials: 0.3 to 0.7 mile - Collectors: 0.25 to 0.5 mile - Local Access: 0.1 mile 5.Street connectivity – Streets that provide easy connections to other roads of higher classification are likely to function at a similar classification. This can be attributed to the ease of movement perceived by travelers who desire to make that connection. For example, state highways are generally interconnected with one another, to provide a continuous network of high order roadways that can be used to travel into and through urban areas. Urban arterials provide a similar interconnected network at the citywide level. By contrast, collectors often connect local access streets with one or two higher-level arterial streets, thus helping provide connectivity at the neighborhood scale rather than a citywide level. Local streets also provide a high degree of connectivity as a necessary component of property access. However, the street lengths, traffic control, and/or street geometry are usually designed so that anyone but local travelers would consider the route inconvenient. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 requires the use of functional highway classification to update and modify the Federal-aid highway systems. Thus, the FHWA and WSDOT have adopted a federal functional classification system for city roadways. Allocation of funds, as well as application of local agency design standards, is based on the federal classification. Federal funds may only be spent on federally classified routes. Based upon the guidelines provided above, the following changes to functional classifications are recommended: ƒApply for the following federal functional classification upgrade from collector to minor arterial for the following two road segments: - 220th Street, 9th Avenue S – SR 99 Packet Page 164 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-7 - 76th Avenue W, 244th Street SW – 212th Street SW ƒApply for the following federal functional classification upgrade from local access to collector for the following six road segments: - Dayton Street, 5th Avenue S – 9th Avenue S - 200th Street SW, 88th Avenue W – 76th Avenue W - 7th Avenue N, Main Street – Caspers Street - 80th Avenue W / 180th Street SW, 200th Street – Olympic View Drive - 80th Avenue W, 212th Street SW – 220th Street SW - 96th Avenue W, 220th Street SW – Walnut Street ƒApply for the following federal functional classification downgrade from collector to local access for the following road segment: - Admiral Way, south of W Dayton Street Table 3-2 summarizes existing and recommended functional classifications for city streets.

From Edmonds, it runs north to Everett, and south through Shoreline to Seattle and the Tacoma metropolitan area. In 1998, the Washington State Legislature passed Highways of Statewide Significance legislation (RCW 47.06.140). Highways of Statewide Significance promote and maintain significant statewide travel and economic linkages. The legislation emphasizes that these significant facilities should be planned from a statewide perspective, and thus they are not subject to local concurrency standards. (WSDOT 2007) In Edmonds, SR 104 between the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry Dock and I-5, and SR 99 between the south city limits and SR 104 have been designated as Highways of Statewide Significance. The Edmonds-Kingston ferry route is considered to be part of SR 104, and is also identified as a Highway of Statewide Significance.

These devices aid in control of traffic flow. In addition, these devices help to minimize accidents at intersections. Figure 3-5 shows the city intersections controlled by traffic signals and those controlled by all-way stop signs. There are 29 signalized intersections, two emergency signals, and 43 all-way stop controlled intersections in the city. Intersections located on Highways of Statewide Significance are maintained by WSDOT while others are maintained by the City.

Traffic calming devices are currently in place at many locations throughout Edmonds. These measures have been installed as part of capital improvement projects, as opportunities were presented, and occasionally in response to citizen requests. The following types of traffic calming devices are currently present within the city: ƒBulb-outs – curb extensions that are used to narrow the roadway either at an intersection or at mid- block along a street corridor. Their primary purpose is to make intersections more pedestrian friendly by shortening the roadway crossing distance and drawing attention to pedestrians via raised peninsula. Additionally, a bulb-out often tightens the curb radius at the corner, which reduces the speeds of turning vehicles. ƒChicane – series of curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other, which narrows the roadway and requires drivers to slow down to travel through the chicane. Typically, a series of at least three curb extensions is used. ƒPartial closure – involves closing down one lane of a two-lane roadway along with a “Do Not Enter” or “One Way” sign, in order to reduce cut-through traffic. ƒRaised pavement markers – 4-inch diameter raised buttons placed in design sequence across a road, causing a vehicle to vibrate and alert the motorist to an upcoming situation. Raised pavement markers may be used in conjunction with curves, crosswalks, pavement legends and speed limit signs. They are most effective when used to alert motorists to unusual conditions ahead, and are most commonly used on approaches to stop signs, often in situations where the visibility of a stop sign is limited. ƒSpeed hump – rounded raised area placed across the roadway, which is approximately 3 to 4 inches high and 12 to 22 feet long. This treatment is used to slow vehicles by forcing them to decelerate in order to pass over them comfortably. The design speeds for speed humps are 20 to 25 mph. ƒTraffic circle – raised island placed in the center of an intersection which forces traffic into circular maneuvers. Motorists yield to vehicles already in the intersection and only need to consider traffic approaching in one direction. Traffic circles prevent drivers from speeding through intersections by impeding straight-through movement. Table 3-5 summarizes traffic calming devices located throughout the city. Figure 3-6 shows the locations of these traffic calming devices. Packet Page 174 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-17 Table 3-5.

Parking is accommodated on the street and in private parking lots associated with existing development. Public parking is provided throughout the city at no charge to drivers. In the downtown area, parking is limited to three hours along most of the downtown streets, with certain stalls designated for handicapped parking, one-hour parking, and loading/unloading. The City has established an employee permit parking program to provide more parking to the general public in high demand parking areas by encouraging Edmonds' business owners and employees to park in lower demand parking areas. The permit authorizes permit employees to park for more than three hours in three-hour parking areas if the parking is part of a commute to work. A three-hour public parking lot is provided at the Edmonds Police Department/Fire Department. Supply is currently adequate to accommodate parking demand. The City will continue to monitor parking demand and supply and make adjustments as needed. Figure 3-7 shows the downtown streets on which three hour parking, one hour parking, and handicapped parking are located.

The Goals and Objectives of the Transportation Plan relate street design to the desires of the local community, and advise that design be at a scale commensurate with the function that the street serves. Guidelines are therefore important to provide designers with essential elements of street design as desired by the community. Essential functions of streets in Edmonds include vehicle mobility, pedestrian access, bicycle access and aesthetics. Street design guidelines for the City are based on the State of Washington Local Agency Guidelines for roadway design (WSDOT 2008) and ECDC Title 18. These guidelines specify that lane widths should be 11 to 12 feet depending on the location of curbs and percentage of truck traffic. Left-turn lanes increase capacity, reduce vehicular accidents, and improve access to adjacent property. Bicycle lanes should be provided along major traffic corridors, and when striped, should be a minimum of 5 feet in width. Sidewalk widths should be a minimum of 5 feet in low pedestrian volume areas, and a minimum of 7 feet in high pedestrian volume areas. Landscaped medians are especially important to soften wide expanses of pavement, to provide a haven for crossing pedestrians, and to provide aesthetic treatment to streets. The adoption of design guidelines is advantageous over the adoption of standards in that it allows a needed flexibility in design that may not be permitted by strict standards. Often when designing streets obstacles are encountered that require modification in design approach. Impediments might include topographic features that make road construction difficult or very expensive; inadequate available right-of-way to allow for all desired features; or environmentally sensitive areas that require modification to avoid adverse impacts. Additionally, funding or grant sources may require specific features or dimensions. Table 3-6 summarizes typical guidelines applied to the design of different types of roads in Edmonds. Figure 3-8 illustrates typical cross sections for each functional classification of road. Figure 3-9 illustrates the downtown area which sidewalks are required on both sides of the street.

The analysis of existing operating conditions on city roadways is based on this data. Level of Service LOS is the primary measurement used to determine the operating quality of a roadway segment or intersection. The quality of traffic conditions is graded into one of six LOS designations: A, B, C, D, E, or F. Table 3-7 presents typical characteristics of the different LOS designations. LOS A and B represent the fewest traffic slow-downs, and LOS C and D represent intermediate traffic congestion. LOS E indicates that traffic conditions are at or approaching urban congestion; and LOS F indicates that traffic volumes are at a high level of congestion and unstable traffic flow. Table 3-7. Typical Roadway Level of Service Characteristics Level of Service Characteristic Traffic Flow A Free flow – Describes a condition of free flow with low volumes and high speeds. Freedom to select desired speeds and to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely high. Stopped delay at intersections is minimal. B Stable flow – Represents reasonable unimpeded traffic flow operations at average travel speeds. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are not generally subjected to appreciable tensions. C Stable flow – In the range of stable flow, but speeds and maneuverability are more closely controlled by the higher volumes. The selection of speed is now significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream, and maneuvering within the traffic stream required substantial vigilance on the part of the user. The general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level. D Stable flow – Represents high-density, but stable flow. Speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver or pedestrian experiences a generally poor level of comfort and convenience- Small increases in traffic flow will generally cause operational problems at this level. Packet Page 182 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-25 Level of Service Characteristic Traffic Flow E Unstable flow – Represents operating conditions at or near the maximum capacity level. Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and it is generally accomplished by forcing a vehicle or pedestrian to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. Comfort and convenience levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is generally high. Operations at this level are usually unstable, because small increases in flow or minor disturbances within the traffic stream will cause breakdowns F Forced flow – Describes forced or breakdown flow, where volumes are above theoretical capacity. This condition exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can traverse the point. Queues form behind such locations, and operations within the queue are characterized by stop-and-go waves that are extremely unstable. Vehicles may progress at reasonable speeds for several hundred feet or more, then be required to stop in a cyclical fashion. Source: Transportation Research Board 2000 Level of Service Criteria Methods described in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000) are used to calculate the LOS for signalized and stop-controlled intersections. Table 3-8 summarizes the LOS criteria for signalized and stop-controlled intersections. LOS for intersections is determined by the average amount of delay experienced by vehicles at the intersection. For stop- controlled intersections, LOS depends on the average delay experienced by drivers on the stop- controlled approaches. Thus, for two-way or T-intersections, LOS is based on the average delay experienced by vehicles entering the intersection on the minor (stop-controlled) approaches. For all-way stop controlled intersections, LOS is determined by the average delay for all movements through the intersection. The LOS criteria for stop-controlled intersections have different threshold values than those for signalized intersections, primarily because drivers expect different levels of performance from distinct types of transportation facilities. In general, stop-controlled intersections are expected to carry lower volumes of traffic than signalized intersections. Thus, for the same LOS, a lower level of delay is acceptable at stop-controlled intersections than it is for signalized intersections. Table 3-8. Level of Service Criteria for Intersections Average Delay per Vehicle (seconds/vehicle) LOS Designation Signalized Intersections Stop-Controlled Intersections A ” 10 ” 10 B > 10 – 20 > 10 – 15 C > 20 – 35 > 15 – 25 D > 35 – 55 > 25 – 35 E > 55 – 80 > 35 – 50 F > 80 > 50 Source: Transportation Research Board 2000 Packet Page 183 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-26 The Highway Capacity Manual methodology does not provide methods for analyzing delay, queues, or LOS of roundabouts. Therefore, LOS analysis for roundabouts is calculated using methods presented in a FHWA report that provides an approach for estimating the average vehicle delay at each entry point along the rotary (FHWA 2000). Utilizing this method, the LOS of the rotary is based upon the average vehicle delay at its most congested entry point. Because LOS thresholds for roundabouts are not provided in the FHWA report, the Highway Capacity Manual criteria for stop-controlled intersections (see Table 3-8) is applied, because drivers’ expectations for delay at a roundabout more closely resemble expectations at a stop sign than at a signal (e.g. a lower level of delay is considered acceptable). Concurrency and Level of Service Standard Under GMA, concurrency is the requirement that adequate infrastructure be planned and financed to support the City’s adopted future land use plan. LOS standards are used to evaluate the transportation impacts of long-term growth and concurrency. In order to monitor concurrency, the jurisdictions adopt acceptable roadway operating conditions that are then used to measure existing or proposed traffic conditions and identify deficiencies. The City has adopted LOS standards for city streets and state routes in the city that are subject to concurrency. Table 3-9 shows the City LOS standards. Table 3-9. Level of Service Standards Facility Standard City Streets Arterials: LOS D or better (except state routes); Collectors: LOS C or better. State Routes1 SR 99 north of SR 104; SR 524: LOS E or better. 1. State routes for which a standard is designated are Highways of Regional Significance, and are subject to City concurrency requirements. State routes designated as Highways of Statewide Significance (SR 104, and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined for these facilities. However, to monitor operations on Highways of Statewide Significance, the City identifies existing or potential future deficiencies if the WSDOT standard of LOS D is exceeded. LOS is measured at intersections during a typical weekday PM peak hour, using analysis methods outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000) and discussed in the previous section. For intersections of roads with different functional classifications, the standard for the higher classification shall apply. Intersections that operate below these standards are considered deficient under concurrency. Deficiencies are identified either as existing deficiencies, meaning they are occurring under existing conditions and not as the result of future development, or as projected future deficiencies, meaning that they are expected to occur under future projected conditions. Concurrency management ensures that development, in conformance with the adopted land use element of the Comprehensive Plan, will not cause a transportation facility’s operations to drop below the adopted standard. Transportation capacity expansion or demand management strategies must be in place or financially planned to be in place within six years of development use. Packet Page 184 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-27 Transportation concurrency is a term that describes whether a roadway is operating at its adopted LOS standard. The adopted standard indicates a jurisdiction’s intent to maintain transportation service at that level, which has budgetary implications. If a city adopts a high LOS standard, it will have to spend more money to maintain the roadways than if it adopts a low LOS standard. On the other hand, a standard that is too low may lead to an unacceptable service level and reduce livability for the community or neighborhood. Under the GMA, if a development would cause the LOS to fall below the jurisdiction’s adopted standard, it must be denied unless adequate improvements or demand management strategies can be provided concurrent with the development. The key is to select a balanced standard—not so high as to be unreasonable to maintain, and not so low as to allow an unacceptable level of traffic congestion. Highways of Statewide Significance (in Edmonds, SR 104, and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to local concurrency standards. However, WSDOT has established a standard of LOS D for these facilities. The City monitors Highways of Statewide Significance, and coordinates with WSDOT to address any deficiencies that are identified. Existing Level of Service Table 3-10 presents existing PM peak hour LOS for 24 intersections throughout the city. Existing intersection LOS is also shown in Figure 3-10. The analysis indicates that the following four stop- controlled intersections are currently operating below the City’s adopted LOS standard: ƒPuget Drive and 88th Avenue W ƒ212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒMain Street and 9th Avenue N ƒWalnut Street and 9th Avenue S The intersection of 238th Street SW and Edmonds Way is operating at LOS F during the PM peak hour. It is located on SR 104, which is a Highway of Statewide Significance, and thus is under WSDOT jurisdiction and is not subject to City concurrency standards. However, the City still considers exceeding LOS E to be an operational deficiency, and will work with WSDOT to address issues at this location.

Travel Demand Forecasting Model For this Transportation Plan, a travel demand forecasting model was developed to analyze future travel demand and traffic patterns for the weekday PM peak hour, which is typically the hour in which the highest level of traffic occurs, and is the time period in which concurrency assessment is based. The major elements of the model include: ƒTransportation network and zone development ƒExisting land use inventory ƒTrip generation ƒTrip distribution ƒNetwork assignment ƒModel calibration ƒModel of future traffic conditions. These elements are described in the following sections. Transportation Network and Zone Development The analysis roadway network is represented as a series of links (roadway segments) and nodes (intersections). Road characteristics such as capacity, length, speed, and turning restrictions at intersections are coded into the network. The geographic area covered by the model is divided into transportation analysis zones (TAZs) that have similar land use characteristics. Figure 3-11 shows the TAZs that were developed for the Edmonds model. The PSRC regional transportation model was used as the basis for both transportation network and TAZ definitions. For the more detailed Edmonds model, some larger TAZs from the regional model were subdivided into smaller TAZs, and the roadway network was analyzed in greater detail. Consistency with the regional model allows land use and roadway information that was updated in the development of the Edmonds model to be easily transferred to PSRC for the next update of the regional model. Existing Land Use Inventory Existing land use was based on a citywide land use inventory completed for this project in 2008. In order to establish an accurate base map of existing land use, land use was confirmed using assessor records, supplemental aerial photos, and field verification. For the model area outside the city limits, land use was based on regional population and employment inventory provided by the PSRC. The land use is summarized by TAZ, as shown in Figure 3-11.

The trips are estimated using statistical data on population and household characteristics, employment, economic output, and land uses. Trips are categorized by their general purpose, including: ƒHome-based-work, or any trip with home as one end and work as the other end; ƒHome-based-other, or any non-work trip with home as one end; ƒNon-home-based, or any trip that does not have home at either end. The trip generation model estimates the number of trips generated per household and employee during the analysis period for each of these purposes. The output is expressed as the total number of trips produced in each TAZ and the total number of trips attracted to each TAZ, categorized by trip purpose. Trip Distribution The trip distribution step allocates the trips estimated by the trip generation model to create a specific zonal origin and destination for each trip. This is accomplished using the gravity model, which distributes trips according to two basic assumptions: (1) more trips will be attracted to larger zones (the size of a zone is defined by the number of attractions estimated in the trip generation phase, not the geographical size), and (2) more trip interchanges will take place between zones that are closer together than the number that will take place between zones that are farther apart. The result is a trip matrix for each of the trip purposes specified in trip generation. This matrix estimates how many trips are taken from each zone (origin) to every other zone (destination). The trips are often referred to as trip interchanges. Network Assignment The roadway network is represented as a series of links (roadway segments) and nodes (intersections). Each roadway link and intersection node is assigned a functional classification, with associated characteristics of length, capacity, and speed. This information is used to determine the optimum path between all the zones based on travel time and distance. The trips are distributed from each of the zones to the roadway network using an assignment process that takes into account the effect of increasing traffic on travel times. The result is a roadway network with traffic volumes calculated for each segment of roadway. The model reflects the effects of traffic congestion on the roadway network. Model Calibration A crucial step in the modeling process is the calibration of the model. The modeling process can generally be described as defining the existing roadway system as a model network and applying trip patterns based on existing land use. The model output, which consists of estimated traffic volumes on each roadway segment, is compared to existing traffic counts. Adjustments are made to the model inputs until the modeled existing conditions replicate actual existing conditions, Packet Page 190 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-33 within accepted parameters. Once the model is calibrated for existing conditions, it can be used as the basis for analyzing future traffic conditions and the impacts of potential improvements to the roadway network. Model of Future Traffic Conditions Future travel demand is based on projections of future land use patterns and community growth. Based on population and employment forecasts, the City provided these growth assumptions for the next 20 years. The growth assumptions represent the higher end of possible ranges, resulting in a more conservative assessment of the impact of future land use on traffic conditions. For the model area outside the city limits, future land use projections were based on PSRC forecasts. Using the same general process described for modeling existing conditions, the forecasted land use data is used to estimate the number of trips that will be generated in future travel. These trips are then distributed among the TAZs, and assigned to the roadway network. The result is a model of projected future traffic conditions, under the projected future land use scenario. For future analysis under 2015 conditions, a straight-line growth between existing and projected 2025 traffic volumes was assumed. This is based on the assumption that steady growth between existing and planned 2025 land uses will occur. 2015 Conditions without Improvements Table 3-11 presents projected PM peak hour LOS for city intersections by 2015, with existing transportation infrastructure in place. Projected 2015 LOS at the analysis intersections is also shown in Figure 3-12. The following locations are projected to operate below the City’s adopted LOS standards under the 2015 conditions, if no additional improvements are made to the transportation system: ƒOlympic View Drive and 76th Avenue W ƒPuget Drive and 88th Avenue W (deficient under existing conditions) ƒ212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W ƒ212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W (deficient under existing conditions) ƒMain Street and 9th Avenue N (deficient under existing conditions) ƒWalnut Street and 9th Avenue S (deficient under existing conditions) ƒ220th Street SW and 76th Avenue W Analysis indicates that the intersection of 238th Street SW and Edmonds Way will operate at LOS F in 2015.

Safety also involves ongoing coordination with emergency service providers to ensure access for their emergency equipment. Recommendations to address safety issues are based on assessment of historical collision data, focused sub-area or corridor safety studies, or on citizen feedback. These assessments are described in the following sections. Collision History For this Transportation Plan update, historical collision data provided by WSDOT for the years 2005 through 2007 was compiled and evaluated (WSDOT 2008). All locations at which an average of five or greater collisions occurred per year were evaluated more closely. Table 3-13 presents the three most recent years of collision data for locations at which collision incidents averaged more than five per year (WSDOT 2008). The table shows that the five highest collision intersections are all located along SR 99, with the highest number occurring near the intersection of 220th Street SW and SR 99. An intersection that carries higher traffic volumes is more likely to experience a higher level of collisions. To account for this, and to allow collision data to be more accurately compared, the rate of collisions per million entering vehicles was calculated for all locations that had averaged five or greater collisions per year. Typically, a collision rate at or greater than 1.0 collision per million entering vehicles raises indicates that further evaluation may be warranted. Table 3-13 presents the collision rate per million entering vehicles at high collision locations; and they are shown in Figure 3-14. The locations with the rates at or above 1.0 collision per million entering vehicles are as follows (from the highest rate to the lowest rate): ƒ220th Street SW and SR 99 ƒMain Street and 3rd Avenue ƒ244th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ238th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ76th Avenue W and SR 99 ƒ212th Street SW and SR 99 ƒSR 104 and 100th Avenue W ƒ220th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ216th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W Packet Page 197 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-40 At high collision locations that are also concurrency locations, capacity improvement projects designed to address operational deficiencies should also serve to improve safety conditions.

Collaborating with community, business, and agency stakeholders, the study sought to evaluate current and future transportation needs along the corridor, identify multi-modal solutions, and identify high priority projects for incorporation into the City’s TIP. Two high priority improvement projects were identified, that are incorporated into this Plan: ƒSR 99 at 228th Street SW and 76th Avenue W – Construct connection of 228th Street SW between SR 99 and 76th Avenue W (three lanes with curb, gutter, bike lanes and sidewalk). Install traffic signals at 228th Street SW/SR 99 and 228th Street SW/76th Avenue W. Install median on SR 99 to prohibit left turn movements at 76th Avenue W. ƒSR 99 at 216th Street SW – Widen to allow one left turn lane and one through lane in eastbound and westbound directions, with 100-foot storage length for turn lanes. Residential Neighborhood Issues Residents periodically express concerns about speeding or a high level of cut-through traffic on residential streets. ƒCut-Through Traffic – Over time, drivers will tend to find the most efficient route between their origin and destination. When congestion occurs on arterials and collector routes motorists begin to use local access streets as cut-thorough routes. Maintaining the efficiency of arterial and collector routes is the most effective way to avoid or reduce cut-through traffic. However, even with optimally designed and managed road networks, there are times when drivers will use residential streets as shortcuts. ƒSpeeding Traffic – Vehicles traveling well above the speed limit on residential streets reduces safety and is of concern to residents. Although some motorists will typically drive above the posted speed limit, the deviation above the limit is typically 5 to 10 miles per hour (mph). This deviation is anticipated and routinely reflected in the safety design of streets and posted speed limits. Speeding more than 10 mph over the speed limit sometimes occurs on older residential streets that have wide travel lanes and an abundance of vehicle parking, which can encourage speeding because the motorist perceives the street is safe and intended for higher speeds. When the cut-through traffic becomes a significant portion of the overall volume on a residential street, traffic calming measures may be effective in directing traffic to another route. The speed of motorists along residential streets can also be addressed by traffic calming. Traffic calming devices are physical devices installed on neighborhood residential streets, to reduce cut-through traffic, and/or discourage speeding. Traffic calming devices are currently in place at many locations throughout Edmonds (see Figure 3-5). These measures have been installed as part of capital improvement projects, as opportunities were presented, and occasionally in response to citizen requests. However, the City does not currently have a formal traffic calming program. Packet Page 200 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-43 Recommended Road Projects and Programs Capital Improvement Projects Proposed improvements are presented in Table 3-14, and illustrated in Figure 3-15. Projects are categorized as concurrency projects, state highway projects, or safety projects. Concurrency Projects Capital roadway improvement projects were developed to address intersection deficiencies under existing conditions and under 2015 and 2025 projected conditions. These projects are needed to improve operation and capacity at intersections that currently operate or are projected to operate at levels below the City’s LOS standards. Concurrency projects applied to the 2015 conditions are those needed to address existing and 2015 deficiencies. Under the 2025 conditions, all recommended concurrency projects are applied to intersections that are expected to exceed the LOS standards. State Highway Projects Intersections located on SR 104 are not subject to City’s LOS standards; however, capital roadway improvement projects were developed to address intersections operations at the following locations: ƒ238th Street SW / Edmonds Way ƒ244th Street SW / 76th Avenue W The City will work with WSDOT for implementation of these improvements, or alternative projects to meet the same mobility objectives. Safety and Other Projects Capital roadway improvement projects were also developed to address vehicular and pedestrian safety on city streets. The City has conducted the circulation and safety analysis for SR 99. According to the study, improvement projects were recommended at the following locations, which are expected to improve the vehicular and pedestrian safety at these locations. ƒ228th Street SW / SR 99 / 76th Avenue W ƒSR 99 / 216th Street SW Improvements are also recommended on the following streets to improve the vehicle and pedestrian safety. ƒ238th Street SW, between Edmonds Way and 84th Avenue W ƒ84th Avenue W, between 212th Street S and 238th Street SW ƒSR 99 illumination Packet Page 201 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-44 ƒShell Valley ƒMain Street and 3rd Avenue In addition, the City considers improvement to all modes (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) in the design of road projects; so all proposed road improvements, even those that are listed primarily as concurrency improvements, will also include elements to support and promote alternative mode operations and safety.

Trigger year is the year by which travel demand forecasts indicates that the location will operate below adopted LOS standards, and thus be in violation of concurrency. Under the GMA, improvements must be in place within six years of the year that a concurrency violation is triggered. 2. Analysis indicates that restricting northbound and southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 3. Analysis indicates that identified deficiencies could also be addressed by removal of parking along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and restriping and signing so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 2015 Operating Conditions with Improvements Projected intersection LOS under 2015 conditions, with recommended improvements in place, is summarized in Table 3-15 and illustrated in Figure 3-16.

The program is designed to assist residents and the City staff in responding to neighborhood traffic issues related to speeding, cut-through traffic, and safety. Implementation of a traffic calming program allows traffic concerns to be addressed consistently and traffic calming measures to be efficiently developed and put into operation. In establishing a neighborhood traffic calming program, the City must take into account the restriction that no deviation from WSDOT design standards is permitted on principal arterials, minor arterials and collector streets without express approval of the WSDOT local programs engineer (RCW 35.78). This limitation does not apply to local access streets, which are defined by RCW 35.78.010 as streets “…generally limited to providing access to abutting property… tributary to major and secondary thoroughfares… generally discouraging through traffic…” Therefore, only local access streets are generally eligible for traffic calming programs. The two main purposes of traffic calming techniques are to: ƒReduce the use of residential streets for cut-through traffic, and ƒReduce overall speeds along residential roadways. A key component of any successful traffic calming program is citizen initiation and ongoing resident involvement. The traffic calming process begins when residents gather eight or more signatures on a petition, requesting that the City initiate a study. The City then undertakes a comprehensive traffic study, gathering data on vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, collision history, and nighttime lighting conditions. If the study reveals a need for traffic calming per the criteria set forth in the Edmonds Traffic Calming program (Appendix B), a three-phase approach to remediate traffic issues is used. The first phase is the start of the process, with the residents filing a petition and the City reviewing whether or not the application qualifies. Phase 2 focuses on solutions that can be quickly deployed, including education, signage, striping modifications, and more police enforcement. If a follow up study indicates that these solutions are not sufficiently effective, Phase 3 traffic calming measures are considered. Phase 3 measures, which are generally more costly and require more time to deploy, might include physical devices such as curb bulbs, chicanes, and traffic circles. The need for citizen involvement greatly increases in Phase 3, because each potential solution requires resident approval prior to implementation. Preservation and Maintenance Programs and Projects The City’s transportation infrastructure is comprised primarily of streets with pavements, sidewalks, illumination, and traffic control, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement marking. Transportation infrastructure requires maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, updating, and replacement to maintain serviceability, reliability, and safety, and to protect the public’s investment. Maintenance of existing infrastructure enables efficiency of transportation operations, and reduces the need for more expensive capital improvements. Packet Page 212 of 380 Street System September 2009 3-55 Maintenance of the City’s transportation infrastructure is provided primarily by the City’s Public Works Department. Activities include the following. ƒAnnual Street Overlays – The projects include spot repairs of failed pavement, full surface and taper grinding of pavement, curbing and sidewalk repairs, and minor storm water system modifications. The projects also incorporate traffic calming measures. In coordination with this transportation plan, future projects will include retrofit of curb ramps for ADA compliance, and may include delineating bike lanes and other bike route improvements (see Chapter 4 for a more detailed discussion). Selection of projects includes reviewing the capital improvement plans for water, sewer, and storm to determine if utility improvements are programmed within the roadway segment under consideration. If there are, the projects schedules will be coordinated. The Principal Arterial, Minor Arterials, and Collectors are all rated once every 2 years as part of the WSDOT Pavement Condition Survey. Those streets are assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranging from 0-100: -71 – 100: Excellent (only routine maintenance necessary: activities are performed to maintain a safe traffic condition and include pothole patching, patching around utility structures, and crack sealing). -50 – 70: Fair (Repair activities are done within the initial 10 year life of a new pavement helps to prevent potholes from occurring. These activities may mean placing a new surface (2 inches or less) on an existing road way to provide a better all weather surfaces, a better riding surface, and to extend or renew the pavement life). -25 – 49: Poor (Rehabilitation work generally consists of the preparatory work activities and either thin or thick overlay. Preparatory work may involve digging out defective asphalt, base and sub base. A rehab project typically extends the roadway life between 10 –15 years). -Less than 25: Fail (Reconstruction is required as a majority of the pavement or underlying base course has failed and can no longer serve as competent foundation for flexible pavements like asphalt). Under existing conditions, 70% of city arterials and collectors are in Excellent to Fair condition, based upon these guidelines. The remaining 30% are in Poor to Fail condition. Under the ideal cycle, roads with functional classification of collector or above receive an overlay once every 20 years; and local roads receive an overlay once every 25 years. ƒCitywide Street Improvements – The City implements minor maintenance projects to increase roadway life. Projects may include spot repairs of failed pavement, curbing and sidewalk repairs, and minor storm water system modifications. ƒCitywide Signal Improvements – As traffic signals age, their functionality becomes more limited and they become more difficult to maintain. The City regularly upgrades traffic signals to maintain functionality, and to incorporate new technology. Packet Page 213 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-56 ƒCitywide Cabinet and Controller Upgrades – A signal controller is located in a controller cabinet at each traffic signal, and determines phases and cycle length for the signal it operates. Signal controllers are comprised of many types and many manufacturers, and as they age, their functionality becomes more limited and they become more difficult to maintain. The City regularly upgrades signal controllers to maintain functionality, and to accommodate modern traffic control equipment. ƒArterial Street Signal Coordination Improvements – Coordinate traffic signals located within 1/2 –mile of each other, to maximize the operating efficiency of the overall roadway system. ƒThe following specific maintenance projects are also currently planned: -Puget Drive/Olympic View Drive Signal Upgrades – Rebuild signal -238th Street SW/100th Avenue W Signal Upgrades – Rebuild complete signal system and install video detection Packet Page 214 of 380 September 2009 4-1 Chapter 4. Non-Motorized System This chapter provides an inventory of existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and an assessment of existing deficiencies and improvement needs. The chapter also highlights strategies for compliance with ADA, and provides recommendations for other improvements to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety. Comprehensive Walkway Plan In 2002, the City of Edmonds completed its Comprehensive Walkway Plan. The plan included goals and objectives for non-motorized transportation in the city, in addition to a walkway inventory, a review of facility standards, and recommendations for walkway projects. The goals and objectives include: ƒGoal: Improve non-motorized transportation facilities and services. ƒObjective: Sidewalks. Safe and attractive pedestrian facilities should be provided as an essential element of the City’s circulation and recreation system, as established in the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Walkway Plan. ƒObjective: Sidewalk Construction Policy. Clarify when sidewalks should be constructed as a condition of development. The following inventory has been updated from the 2002 Walkway Plan, and the existing facilities have been evaluated for ADA compliance. Walkway Inventory Pedestrian facilities within the city include sidewalks, walkways, roadway shoulders, and off-road trails. Those facilities are typically more concentrated in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as the downtown area, commercial and business centers, near schools and other public facilities. Figure 4-1 illustrates the locations within Edmonds that have pedestrian-intensive land uses. Packet Page 215 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 4-2 Figure 4-2 illustrates the existing sidewalks and walkways within the city. The figure shows that the sidewalk system is most complete inside the core area bounded by SR 104, 92nd Avenue W, and SR 524. Outside of this area, sidewalks are primarily located along roads classified as collectors or arterials. Raised and striped walkways are generally associated with schools and provide safe walking routes. The federal ADA was passed in 1990 and amended in 2008. ADA requires jurisdictions to provide accessible sidewalks primarily through the installation of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. The design requirements address various areas of concern such as curb alignment with crosswalks, narrower sidewalk width, obstacles such as utility poles, placement of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb, or the slope of the ramps. Most of the city’s sidewalk ramps were constructed in the 1980s or later. As pedestrian improvements are made along roadway corridors, the City has upgraded sidewalk ramps or installed new ones in accordance with current standards.

Sidewalk ramps were assessed to determine if landing areas and detection warning meet current ADA guidelines. The curb ramp inventory is provided in Appendix D. Of approximately 350 intersections in Edmonds, 42 intersections were found to fully meet ADA standards, and 24 intersections partially met ADA standards. Recommended Walkway Improvements This section presents recommended walkway improvements, which consist of new sidewalk connections to improve pedestrian mobility and safety, and upgrades of curb ramps to conform to ADA standards. Walkway Prioritization Process Major gaps in the city walkway system were identified by the Walkway Committee. To address those gaps, the Committee developed criteria to evaluate and prioritize walkway improvement projects. These criteria were used to prioritize improvements to walkway sections that were identified based on input from public meetings, Walkway Committee meetings, and deficiencies determined from a review of the existing city walkway inventory. The criteria were weighted according to their importance. A system of points was developed to evaluate each proposed project against each criterion. The result was a weighted average score that helps to compare and prioritize proposed projects. Table 4-1 describes the walkway prioritization criteria and their relative weights and point systems. Table 4-1. Prioritization Criteria for Walkway Projects Criteria Weight Description Points Pedestrian Safety 5 How safe is the route for pedestrians? Does this improvement: ƒSeparate pedestrians from vehicular traffic, especially in high traffic areas? ƒImprove width of walkway and surface conditions? ƒAddress potential conflicts at road crossings? 3 Strong concerns for pedestrian safety along this route 2 Some concerns for pedestrian safety along this route 1 This route is very similar to other routes in Edmonds 0 Not a safety concern Connectivity to Services and Facilities 4 Does this route connect to facilities or services such as schools, parks, churches, community centers, businesses or transit routes?

(Beyond 650 feet from a public transit route.) Availability of Existing Infrastructure 1 Is there existing infrastructure along this route that will significantly reduce project costs? 3 There is existing curb and gutter 2 There is partial curb and gutter 1 There is no curb and gutter Walkway sections were analyzed separately depending on the section length. Walkway sections longer than 1,000 feet are defined as “long walkways” and walkway sections shorter than 1,000 feet are defined as “short walkways”. Using the weighted and scoring criteria, projects with more than 50 points were designated as Priority 1, and projects with 50 points or less were designated as Priority 2. Table 4-2 summarizes the walkways that were considered for walkway improvements by the type of projects (i.e., short walkway or long walkway). The projects are listed in ranked order by the total points and by priority level. Figure 4-3 shows the locations of the walkway projects. Projected costs of the recommended walkway projects are provided in Chapter 6 (Implementation and Financial Plan) of this Transportation Plan. A more detailed summary of each project’s limits, existing conditions, and point tally is provided in Appendix D. Table 4-2.

Project L12 is an L-shaped project in which sidewalks are proposed on either side of Andover Street (the north-south leg), and on the north side of 184th Street SW (the east-west leg). Pedestrian access to transit stops is a critical element of the walkway improvement program. The City will continue to work with Community Transit to ensure that access to transit stops is as convenient and safe as possible. Community Transit offers its support in securing funds related to improving access to the existing transit system and transit facilities. In addition to the projects listed in Table 4-2, a variety of non-motorized enhancements are scheduled as part of the 4th Avenue Corridor Enhancement project. The City also plans to make improvements to pedestrian lighting throughout the city, with a project currently planned on Main Street between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue. Additionally, the City is planning to update all pedestrian signals to the “countdown” signals, in accordance with the standards set in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA 2001) by 2013.

Citizen request for curb ramps should be addressed as they occur, and should be accommodated close to the time of the request unless there are circumstances which would cause them to be deferred, such as a pending construction project that would provide the ramps in a short time frame. Priorities for future sidewalk new ramp installations or ramp upgrades are determined based on the following priority order: 1. Downtown intersections receive priority over other locations; 2. Arterial streets receive priority over local access streets; 3. Intersections receive higher priority if they are near: a. Community centers, senior centers, or health facilities b. Transit stops, schools, or public buildings c. Commercial areas and parks. Implementation of the curb ramp upgrade program will need to occur over time, due to the costs of those upgrades. As part of asphalt overlay projects, all ramps adjacent to the paving work must be upgraded to meet ADA standards and new ramps installed where none exist. Sidewalk ramps will also be installed as part of street reconstruction and sidewalk construction projects. Private redevelopment will also fund some ramp upgrades as part of required frontage improvements. Appendix C provides a complete list of the intersection locations and the prioritization criteria. Bikeway Comprehensive Plan The City updated its comprehensive Bikeway Plan in 2009. The Bikeway Plan outlines a list of improvement projects for the bikeway system; and prioritizes bikeway projects, bicycle parking, and bikeway signage. Before signing the routes, problem catch basin grates are replaced, sight distance problems are addressed, and potholes and other safety hazards are corrected. Additionally, the Bikeway Plan includes maintenance of bicycle facilities. Per RCW 35.75.060 and 36.82.145, all bicycle facilities must comply with Chapter 1020 of the WSDOT Design Manual (WSDOT 2009) which is consistent with the Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (AASHTO 1999). In addition to making project recommendations, the Bikeway Plan states several goals for the bicycle network in Edmonds. These goals are: ƒGoal 1: To promote more bicycling. ƒGoal 2: To provide safer streets and paths for those who bicycle in Edmonds Packet Page 225 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 4-12 ƒGoal 3: To provide better access to recreational opportunities for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 4: To provide better access to schools for those who bicycle ƒGoal 5: To provide better access to businesses for those who bicycle ƒGoal 6: To provide better access to transit for those who bicycle ƒGoal 7: To provide access to bicycling opportunities in other jurisdictions ƒGoal 8: To consider bicycle facilities and program in all City transportation programs and funding ƒGoal 9: To provide enhanced parking facilities for those who bicycle, making the mode more convenient ƒGoal 10: To provide maintenance provisions for City bicycle facilities The following inventory and recommended bicycle network improvements may be considered as complements to the Bikeway Comprehensive Plan. Bicycle Facility Inventory Figure 4-4 shows existing bicycle facilities within the city, which include bicycle routes, bicycle lanes, trails, and bicycle parking facilities. Bicycle routes are designated along vehicle travel lanes that are shared between bicycles and motor vehicles with signing. Bicycle lanes are dedicated lanes within the traveled roadway that are reserved solely for bicyclists and distinguished through the use of pavement markings. Bicycle lanes may be located adjacent to the curbs or parking lanes. Trails are physically separated from vehicular traffic, and are shared with pedestrians and other non-motorized users. The Interurban Trail, which links the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Everett, runs through the southeastern portion of Edmonds. Upgrades to the trail are included in the City’s capital improvement program. Trails are also located along the city’s beaches and within city parks. There are also easy connections for cyclists to ferries, Sound Transit’s Sounder service, and Community Transit. Bicycles are allowed on all of these systems; WSF provides a reduced fare (relative to motorized vehicle fares) for bicycles, Sound Transit provides bike racks, and all Community Transit vehicles have bike racks.

The Bikeway Plan prioritizes bikeway projects, bicycle parking, and bikeway signage. The types of bikeway facilities that are recommended projects range from shared-use paths to bike lanes to bicycle parking. Shared-use or multiuse paths are physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic. They are designed and built primarily for use by bicycles, but are also used by pedestrians, joggers, skaters, wheelchair users (both non-motorized and motorized), equestrians, and other non-motorized users. The desirable width of a shared-use path is 12 feet; the minimum width is 10 feet. Bike lanes are established along streets in corridors where there is current or anticipated bicycle demand and where it would be unsafe for bicyclists to ride in the travel lane. Bike lanes delineate the rights of way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and provide for movements that are more predictable by each. The minimum width for a bike lane is 4 feet. However, when parking is permitted along the bike lane, an additional width of 1 to 2 feet is recommended if parking is substantial or the turnover of parked cars is high. With curb, guardrail, or barrier, the minimum bike lane width is 5 feet. Signed shared roadways are shared roadways that have been identified as preferred bike routes by posting bike route signs. A signed shared roadway bike route is established by placing the Bicycle Route signs or markers along the roadways according to guidelines set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA 2001). The Bikeway Plan categorizes bikeway projects into small bikeway projects and large bikeway projects. The distinction between these two categories is the funding sources. The small bikeway projects can be funded entirely through dedicated City funding; large bikeway projects will require grant funding and may be tied to a major roadway transportation project. Projected costs of the recommended bikeway projects are provided in Chapter 6 (Implementation and Financial Plan) of this Transportation Plan. Small Bikeway Projects Bicycle Loops Figure 4-5 shows three bicycle loops of various difficulties and lengths that are recommended along roads that have low speeds and low vehicle volumes. The Edmonds Bike Group helped establish these three bicycle loops. ƒThe short bicycle loop has an easy level of difficulty and a distance of 5 miles. ƒThe medium bicycle loop is a medium level of difficulty route; it follows a similar route as the short bicycle loop, but has an additional 2 miles for a total length of 7 miles. Packet Page 228 of 380 Non-Motorized System September 2009 4-15 ƒThe long bicycle loop is a scenic route designed for experienced cyclists. The total distance for the long bicycle loop is 20 miles with a portion located in the Town of Woodway. Shared Use Lanes Shared use lanes, or “sharrows,” are commonly used to indicate where on the roadway a cyclist should ride, and also to remind motorists to share the lane with bicycles when present. Sharrows consist of a roadway striping treatment, with chevron arrows and a bicycle symbol placed on the outside portion of the travel lane. Approved by FHWA as an experimental treatment (Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center 2009) and expected to be included in the next edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, sharrows are a way for many jurisdictions to create low-cost and safe bicycle facilities. The City intends to create sharrows as necessary as it completes roadway projects. Bicycle Parking In planning for bicycle parking, both public and private property needs must be considered. The recommended standard for new commercial developments is one bicycle rack for every 12 vehicle spaces provided. The City considers the following criteria when reviewing the suitability of new bicycle racks: ƒThe bicycle racks shall be as convenient as the majority of automobile parking spaces provided. ƒAll racks shall be securely anchored to the ground or building structures. ƒBicycle racks shall be in a visible location, close to the building entrances. ƒBicycle racks must be designed to accommodate U-shaped locks.

The large bikeway projects include bicycle lanes or bicycle routes that can be added as part of future roadway improvement projects. The large bikeway projects are concentrated around two major efforts: creating a north-south bicycle connection between downtown Edmonds and the Interurban Trail, and creating an east-west bicycle connection between the northern and southern portions of Edmonds. The north-south bicycle projects include: ƒ84th Avenue W, 238th Street SW - 212th Street SW ƒ80th Avenue W, 220th Street SW - 206th Street SW ƒ76th Avenue W, 224th Street SW - N Meadowdale Beach Drive The east-west bicycle projects include: ƒEdmonds Way/Sunset Avenue, Edmonds Street - city limits ƒ224th Street SW, 100th Avenue W - the Interurban Trail Other large bikeway projects include: ƒOlympic View Drive, Puget Drive - 76th Avenue W (less steep route) ƒ3rd Avenue N, Main Street - Caspers Street ƒCaspers Street, 3rd Avenue N - 9th Avenue N ƒ9th Avenue N, Caspers Street - Puget Drive Interurban Trail The City is planning to complete the 1.4-mile link of the Interurban Trail between the cities of Shoreline and Mountlake Terrace. The planned alignment runs roughly parallel to 76th Avenue W, south of 228th Street SW. The “interurban corridor” is a former inter-city rail line, part of a nationwide system of similar lines that operated from the 1890’s to the 1930’s. This vital project is significant because it is the “missing link” north and beyond to Everett and south through the recently completed Shoreline Interurban Trail to Seattle and beyond. Locally and regionally this community supported trail will provide safe passage and a healthy alternative to connect homes, work, services, recreation sites and other modes of transportation. The trail lies along view corridors of Lake Ballinger with waterfront access and a respite stop with shelter and information kiosk at 76th Ave and McAleer Way. For consistency in style, the City’s proposed design follows the lead of surrounding communities matching them in 12-foot width, design, historical elements, signage and landscaping. Shared road portions along busy 76th Avenue West and the quieter residential 74th Avenue West will be reconfigured and improved to add dedicated bicycle lanes. Traffic calming techniques will be installed at road crossings as well as appropriate signage.

Transit and Transportation Demand Management This chapter provides an inventory of existing transit facilities and services, including buses, rail and ferries. Strategies to increase transit use including Transportation Demand Management and other transit improvements are then presented. Existing Transit Service Community Transit Community Transit, the major provider of public transit for Snohomish County, operates three types of transit service in the city: ƒFixed bus route service ƒRideshare services ƒDial-A-Ride Transit (DART) paratransit service Fixed Route Bus Service Fixed bus routes are local or commuter services that operate on a standardized schedule. Figure 5- 1 shows the bus routes that serve the city. Table 5-1 summarizes local bus routes serving the city, which provide two-way service between destinations in the city and surrounding areas, from morning through evening. Table 5-2 summarizes commuter bus routes serving the city, which provide service to major employment destinations in Snohomish and King Counties. Commuter routes typically operate only during the weekday morning and evening peak commute periods. Every Community Transit bus is equipped to accommodate wheelchairs. All buses are also equipped with bicycle racks.

Community Transit currently manages nine vanpools originating in Edmonds that serve the following employment destinations: - Amgen in Seattle - Bangor (2 vans) - Boeing Everett (2 vans) - Department of Defense in Keyport - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Renton - Holmes Electric in Bellevue - Raytheon in Keyport ƒCarpools – Community Transit provides ride-matching services for people seeking carpool partners. DART Paratransit DART is a specialized bus service provided by Community Transit for those who are unable to use regular bus service due to a disability. Service is available to all origins and destinations within 0.75 mile of local, non-commuter bus routes. King County Metro Transit King County Metro does not provide local service within Edmonds, but connections are available between Community Transit and Metro routes at the Aurora Village Transit Center just south of the city. Sound Transit Express Bus Sound Transit (ST), which provides regional bus service to the urban portions of Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties, does not have an established express bus stop in Edmonds. However, ST express bus service is available at transit centers or park-and-ride lots in the vicinity of Edmonds (Swamp Creek, Lynnwood Transit Center, Mountlake Terrace Transit Center) and can be accessed by Community Transit. Packet Page 239 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 5-8 Park-and-Ride Facilities The primary commuter parking facility in the city is the Edmonds park-and-ride lot located at 72nd Avenue West and 213th Place SW. This facility, which has a capacity for 255 cars, is owned by WSDOT and operated by Community Transit. This facility offers bus service to Lynnwood, downtown Seattle, Redmond, Everett, Shoreline and Seattle’s University District. The average utilization rate of this facility is 71% (Community Transit 2008). Many routes also serve the Edmonds Senior Center, Edmonds Station and Edmonds Ferry Terminal. Parking available in the vicinity of these facilities includes a total of 220 spaces near the ferry terminal and 179 spaces at the Edmonds Station. Edmonds Community College also serves as a transit hub, but no public parking is available at this location. Table 5-3 summarizes the park-and-ride lots that serve Edmonds. Table 5-3.

Other transfer hubs include Edmonds Community College and Mountlake Terrace Transit Center. These Community Transit routes connect with King County Metro service at Aurora Village, Mountlake Terrace, and Bothell; Everett Transit in the City of Everett; the Washington State Ferry at the Edmonds and Mukilteo Terminals; with Sound Transit at various park-and-ride lots in the south Snohomish County; and Island Transit in the City of Stanwood. Rail Service Passenger rail service in Edmonds is provided by Sound Transit’s Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak’s intercity rail. The rail station is located at 211 Railroad Avenue and can be accessed by Community Transit. Packet Page 240 of 380 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-9 Sounder Commuter Rail The Sounder commuter rail line operates between Seattle and Everett, with stops in Edmonds and Mukilteo. Through a partnership with Amtrak, Amtrak trains are also available for commuters along this route. Sounder operates four southbound trains during the morning commute period and four northbound trains during the evening commute period. Amtrak operates one additional train in each direction during both the morning commute period and the evening commute period. Amtrak Service Amtrak operates two routes with stops in Edmonds: the Amtrak Cascades and the Empire Builder. Amtrak Cascades Edmonds serves as a stop along the Seattle – Vancouver route. Service is daily, with two northbound trains (8:07 am and 7:07 pm) and two southbound trains (10:21 am and 9:19 pm) stopping in Edmonds per day. From Edmonds, one of the two northbound trains terminates in Bellingham while the other terminates in Vancouver, British Columbia. One southbound Cascades train originates in Bellingham while the other begins in Vancouver, BC. The Cascades route’s northbound service provides connections to Everett, Mount Vernon, and Bellingham in Washington State, and Surrey, Richmond, and Vancouver in British Columbia. Southbound service terminates in Seattle. Travelers who wish to take rail south to destinations between Seattle and Portland are best served by traveling to Seattle to take the Seattle–Portland route. Empire Builder The Empire Builder provides cross-country service between Seattle and Chicago. Its route traverses the states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Service is daily, with one eastbound train departing from Edmonds each evening (5:17 pm). One westbound train arrives in Edmonds each morning (9:05 am). Washington State Ferries The Edmonds-Kingston ferry route connects the northern portion of the Kitsap Peninsula and the Olympic Peninsula with northern King and southern Snohomish Counties. The route is 4.5 nautical miles long, and takes approximately 30 minutes to traverse. The Edmonds-Kingston route operates seven days per week year round, with average headways ranging between 35 and 75 minutes. In 2006, the Edmonds-Kingston route carried 4.3 million people, at an average of 12,200 passengers per day (WSF Origin Destination Onboard Survey 2006). A 2006 Washington State Ferries (WSF) survey indicates that in-vehicle boardings were the most prevalent, with about 87 Packet Page 241 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 5-10 percent of passengers boarding in this manner on the average weekday. Walk-on passengers constituted 13 percent of all passengers on an average weekday. The WSF survey indicates that during the PM peak period (3 PM to 7 PM), approximately two-thirds of the total passengers on the Edmonds-Kingston route are traveling west to the Kitsap / Olympic Peninsulas from Edmonds, and about one-third are traveling eastbound to Edmonds from the west. Transportation Demand Management TDM consists of strategies that seek to maximize the efficiency of the transportation system by reducing demand on the system. The results of successful TDM can include the following benefits: ƒTravelers switch from driving alone to high-occupancy vehicle modes such as transit, vanpools, or carpools. ƒTravelers switch from driving to non-motorized modes such as bicycling or walking. ƒTravelers change the time they make trips from more congested to less congested times of day. ƒTravelers eliminate trips altogether either through means such as compressed work weeks, consolidation of errands, or use of telecommunications. Within the State of Washington, alternative transportation solutions are necessitated by the objectives of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law. Passed in 1991 as a section of the Washington Clean Air Act (RCW 70.94), the CTR Law seeks to reduce workplace commute trips. The purpose of CTR is to help maintain air quality in metropolitan areas by reducing congestion and air pollution. This law requires Edmonds to adopt a CTR plan requiring private and public employers with 100 or more employees to implement TDM programs. Programs provide various incentives or disincentives to encourage use of alternative transportation modes other than the single-occupant vehicle. The City promotes TDM through policy and/or investments that may include, but are not limited to, the following: ƒParking management; ƒTrip reduction ordinances; ƒRestricted access to facilities and activity centers; and ƒTransit-oriented and pedestrian-friendly design. The City can support the CTR Law and regional vehicle trip reduction strategies by working with employers to encourage the reduction of commuter single-occupant vehicle use. Community Transit assists employers in developing plans that meet specific trip reduction needs as required by the CTR Law. Flex time, parking management, vanpooling, and carpooling are some of the available options. Community Transit offers free Employee Transportation Coordinator Training Packet Page 242 of 380 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-11 Workshops for employers affected by CTR. Transportation consulting services are also available to interested employers not affected by CTR. Community Transit also conducts community outreach programs that fall within the realm of TDM. There are three employers in Edmonds that participate in the CTR program: the City of Edmonds, Stevens Hospital, and Edmonds Family Medicine Clinic. Each employer measures its progress toward its goal of reducing single-occupant vehicle trips by conducting an employee survey every other year. Community Transit assists in this effort, and reviews the results to see if the employers are in compliance with CTR goals. Future Transit Improvements Chapter 2 of this Transportation Plan identifies a number of specific goals, objectives and policies aiming at enhancing transit options and operations in the City. One of the City’s goals is to “prioritize and finance improvements for the greatest public benefit, emphasizing transit, demand management, and maintenance of current facilities”. Bus Shelters and Benches Providing additional shelters and benches at bus stops has been identified as a high priority for the City. At all appropriate locations, sidewalk improvement or construction projects will include the creation of boarding pads to allow for shelters. The City will continue to work with Community Transit to ensure that bus stops and shelters fit in with the local street design. Community Transit is also committed to expanding the number of locations with stop shelters, adding 25 new locations each year (on the entire system) in addition to maintaining and replacing existing shelters. Table 5-4 lists the top priority locations identified by the City for bus shelters and seating. Table 5-4.

Transit Emphasis Corridors Community Transit’s Six Year Transit Development Plan and 20 Year Long Range Plan describe a network of Transit Emphasis Corridors on arterial streets and highways connecting urban centers in Snohomish County. SR 99 and 196th Street SW are Transit Emphasis Corridors in Edmonds. The long-term vision for these corridors is coordinated land use, infrastructure, and transit planning that will encourage transit market development and will enable effective service by Community Transit. The Transit Development Plan calls for increasing the frequency and span of local service providing east-west connections across south Snohomish County between Mill Creek, Lynnwood and Edmonds including the 164th St SW and 196th St SW transit emphasis corridors. Swift Bus Rapid Transit This process is moving forward on SR 99 with the implementation of Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which will begin service in fall 2009. Swift will operate throughout the day, seven days a week, providing service between Shoreline and Everett. Swift will operate with 10-minute frequency from 5:00 am to 7:00 pm, and with 20-minute frequency from 7:00 pm to midnight and on weekends. Swift BRT will serve landmark stations located at approximately one mile intervals along the route. The City worked closely with Community Transit on the Swift BRT alignment Packet Page 244 of 380 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-13 and station locations. There are two stations located along SR 99 in Edmonds: at 238th St SW and at 216th St SW. Local service on Route 101 will continue to operate in the corridor. Additional Fixed Route Transit Service The City will continue to coordinate with Community Transit regarding additional bus transit service on Olympic View Drive or east of 76th Avenue N. In addition, the City has adopted a policy (see Policy 8.12 in Chapter 2) to explore future funding for a city-based circulator bus that provides local shuttle service between neighborhoods (Firdale Village, Perrinville, Five Corners, Westgate) and downtown. Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Facility The City is also a partner in the Edmonds Crossing multimodal ferry, bus, and rail facility. Sound Transit is planning to relocate Edmonds station as part of the larger Edmonds Crossing Multimodal project being led by WSDOT. The location of the preferred alternative for the multimodal project in the Final Environmental Impact Statement would relocate the station south of Edmonds marina, near Point Edwards. The project would also improve traffic circulation in downtown Edmonds by eliminating at-grade railroad crossings. The Washington legislature approved $4 million for the project during the 2007-2009 biennium. However, funding for the remaining $122 million is not secured.

Implementation and Financial Plan This chapter provides a summary of the projects, project prioritization, total costs, projected revenue, and implementation strategies for recommended improvements through 2025. Project Costs Preliminary costs for proposed transportation projects were estimated at a planning level, based on 2009 dollars. Estimates were based on typical unit costs, as applied to each type of improvement, and are not the result of preliminary engineering. Annual programs such as asphalt street overlay show projected expenditures beginning in 2010. These planning-level estimates of probable cost were the basis for the financial plan. Table 6-1 summarizes the estimated costs for the recommended transportation projects and programs through 2025. The table shows that the cost of fully funding all operations, safety, and maintenance projects and programs through 2025, as presented in this Transportation Plan, is $103,046,300.

Packet Page 251 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-6 Revenue Sources Current Sources of Revenue Revenue sources available to the City for financing the transportation improvements are listed below. ƒGrants – State and federal grants may be obtained through a competitive application process. Grant sources include the following: -FHWA – The federal government has funds that are made available to the State of Washington and local agencies from federal gas taxes. The allocations are based on the competitive evaluation of specific projects against other projects within the State and region. To be eligible for funding, a project must be located on a route designated as arterial or collector in the federal classification (see Figures 3-2 and 3-3). Grant programs include Congestion Mitigation Air Quality, Intersection and Corridor Safety, Surface Transportation Program (STP) Regional, Transportation Enhancement Program (statewide), and direct allocations. -Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development – Federal funds are distributed as Community Development Block Grants through Snohomish County. Grants are competitive based on the merits of the projects and are targeted to benefit low income areas. Typically, a project must be located in a census tract or block with a majority of residents with low to moderate income. Through the grant amounts are relatively small they can be used on local streets in residential areas for sidewalk and sidewalk ramp construction. -Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) – The Transportation Improvement Board provides grants using the State’s portion of the gas tax. Projects are selected on a competitive basis and programs vary from sidewalks to corridor improvements. To be eligible a project must be located on an arterial or collector. The TIB is an independent state agency that distributes grant funding, which comes from the revenue generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax, to cities and counties for funding transportation projects. The TIB provides funding to its urban customers through three state-funded grant programs: x Urban Arterial Program (UAP)– best suited for roadway projects that improve safety and mobility. x Urban Corridor Program (UCP) – best suited for roadway projects with multiple funding partners that expand capacity. x Sidewalk Program (SP) – best suited for sidewalk projects that improve safety and connectivity. -Additional State Grants – Other grants available at the state level include, but are not excluded to, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety and Safe Routes to Schools. Packet Page 252 of 380 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-7 ƒTraffic Impact / Mitigation Fees – Impact fees were recently instituted within the City and are paid by developers to mitigate the impacts on the transportation system. ƒReal Estate Excise Tax –This is a tax on all sales of real estate, measured by the full selling price, including the amount of any liens, mortgages and other debts given to secure the purchase at a rate of 1.28 percent. The City is eligible to receive proceeds from the tax if they have planned under the Growth Management Act. The funds must be used for capital improvements. The State and Counties receive 0.78 percent and the City 0.5 percent. ƒMotor Vehicle Fuel Tax – The motor vehicle fuel tax is collected by the State and 2.4 cents per gallon are distributed to cities for roadway construction purposes. The money is distributed based on the population of each city. ƒGeneral Fund – The General Fund includes a broad range of taxes and fees such as sales tax and building permit fees. These revenue sources may be used for all City activities. ƒJoint Agency Funding – Edmonds adjoins unincorporated Snohomish County and several other cities. When projects are located in two more jurisdictions, resources are combined to fund them. ƒGeneral Obligation Bonds – These are bonds issued by the City that are financed through future anticipated tax revenues. ƒParks Funding – Funding provided through the City Parks Department, to be used jointly with transportation funding for pedestrian and bicycle projects. Table 6-2 summarizes potential revenue projected through 2025, based upon current sources and funding history. Table 6-2. Potential Revenue Source Amount Grants (unsecured) $12,080,650 Traffic Impact / Mitigation Fees 6,353,485 Real Estate Excise Tax 4,000,000 Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax 2,000,000 Transfers from Other Funds 2,062,650 Utility Resurfacing 1,795,488 Joint Agency1 8,000,000 Interest Income 511,331 Development Sidewalks 23,021 Parks Funding – Interurban Trail 1,326,000 Parks Funding - 4th Ave Enhancement 2,365,000 Miscellaneous 193,306 TOTAL $40,710,931 1. Assumes joint funding with Snohomish County for the recommended 84th Avenue improvement. Packet Page 253 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-8 Based upon the total costs of recommended projects summarized in Table 6-1, and the potential revenue based upon current sources and funding history, the estimated total revenue shortfall through 2025 is $62,335,369. Other Potential Financing Options The City will continue to explore new options to fund transportation projects and programs that are important to citizens. Options that could be considered include the following: ƒTransportation Benefit District – A Transportation Benefit District (TBD) can fund any transportation improvement contained in any existing state or regional transportation plan that is necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion levels. The legislative authority of a city to create a TBD by ordinance is set forth in RCW 36.73. Projects covered by a TBD can include maintenance and improvements to city streets, county roads, state highways, investments in high capacity transportation, public transportation, transportation demand management and other transportation projects identified in a regional transportation planning organization plan or state plan. A variety of revenue options are available. An annual vehicle license fee of up to $20 per license can be passed by the City of Edmonds TBD, and is not subject to voter approval. The legislation also allows a TBD the ability to collect additional annual vehicle license fees up to a total of $100 per license per year in addition to sales and property taxes, subject to voter approval. The City has already enacted the $20 per year vehicle license fee, which is slated to fund City Street Operations only. Additional TBD funding above the amount of the TBD in Edmonds would be subject to voter approval. If additional TBD funding were implemented, the City would work with PSRC to incorporate projects into the regional transportation so that they would be eligible for funding. The regional and state plans have already identified a broad range of local transportation improvements as priorities, and the multi-modal mobility and safety projects presented in this Transportation Plan are consistent with those priorities. ƒLocal Improvement District/Roadway Improvement District –LIDs, enabled under RCW 35.43, are a means of assisting benefitting properties in financing needed capital improvements. A special type of LID is a Roadway Improvement District (RID). LIDs may be applied to water, sewer and storm sewer facilities, as well as roads; but RIDs may only be applied to street improvements. LIDs and RIDs are special assessment districts in which improvements will specially benefit primarily the property owners in the district. They are created under the sponsorship of a municipal government and are not self governing special purpose districts. To the extent and in the manner noted in the enabling statutes, they must be approved by both the local government and benefited property owners. ƒAdditional Grants – Revenue projections summarized in Table 6-2 assume that the City will be able obtain future grant funding at levels consistent with what has been obtained historically. It may be possible for the City to obtain higher levels of grant funding than what has been historically obtained. However, state and federal grants are obtained through a Packet Page 254 of 380 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-9 highly competitive process, and other municipalities are also likely to increase their requests for grant funding to address their own revenue shortfalls, so it is likely that only a small portion of the City’s revenue shortfall could be covered through additional grant funding. ƒBusiness License Fee for Transportation – Cities have the option of including a fee to fund transportation projects, as part of business license fees. This is typically an annual fee that is charged per full time equivalent (FTE) employee. In order for this type of fee to be successful, cities typically collaborate very closely with business owners, to identify projects and programs for funding that would be of most benefit to local businesses. Table 6-3 summarizes potential levels of revenue that could be obtained by these additional sources, if they were approved by the City Council and by citizens. The table shows that the transportation funding shortfall could be covered by a combination of these optional revenue sources. Table 6-3. Potential Revenue from Additional Optional Sources Source Amount TBD license fee at $80 per license per year1 $ 46,592,000 Local Improvement District / Roadway Improvement District2 15,743,369 Additional grants3 Additional joint agency funding4 Business license fee for transportation $62,335,369 1. Assumes 36,000 vehicles (40,000 population x 0.91 vehicles per capita) for 16 years. The total amount shown is that portion above the $20 portion that has already been passed and committed to fund transportation operations. 2. Enacted to pay for specific projects with the district that is defined. Any funding obtained through an LID or RID would lower the fees needed from the other optional sources. 3. Obtained through application process for specific projects. Any funding obtained through additional grants would lower the fees needed from the other optional sources. 4. Obtained from adjacent jurisdictions in which specific projects are co-located. Several recommended projects are located in areas also under the jurisdiction of the cities of Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Shoreline, Snohomish County, and/or WSDOT. Project Prioritization Program Priority Although all projects and programs presented in this Transportation Plan are important to the City, they can only be implemented as funding becomes available. Guided by feedback from citizens, and also by state laws, the following priority order has been established. 1.Maintenance and Preservation – The City is committed to maintaining existing transportation facilities in which substantial public investment have been made, and which are critical to maintaining transportation mobility and safety. This has also been identified as the top priority by citizens. Packet Page 255 of 380 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-10 2.Safety Improvements on City Streets – Road safety projects are also identified as a high priority by citizens. Some concurrency projects also address safety issues; however, additional safety projects will be a high priority if additional funding is obtained from alternative sources. 3.Concurrency – GMA requires that projects needed to maintain concurrency must be in place within six years of the time that they are triggered by development. If concurrency projects are not implemented, new development that those projects would support cannot be approved. Thus, concurrency projects must be implemented to support planned land use identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 4.Walkway Connections – Completion of walkway connections is consistent with the City’s policies to support a strong pedestrian network, and has also been identified as a high priority by citizens. Completing walkway connections will be a high priority if additional funding is obtained from alternative sources. 5.Curb Ramp Upgrades – ADA requires that the City have a program in place to retrofit curb ramps that do not meet ADA standards. The City will continue to implement curb ramp upgrades in conjunction with street construction and maintenance projects, but completion of the Curb Ramp Upgrade Program by 2025 will require additional funding over current projections. 6.Bicycle Route Signing and Facility Upgrade – The City will continue to incorporate bikeways into street improvement and maintenance projects where feasible, whether they consist of separate bicycle lanes, or marking for shared bicycle/vehicle lanes. However, completion of the Bike Plan, including signing and provision of bicycle parking, will require additional funding over current projections. 7.Improvements on SR 104 (Edmonds Way) – Operational deficiencies have been projected for SR 104. As a Highway of Statewide significance, this road is not subject to local concurrency rules. The City will continue to coordinate with WSDOT to address problems as they are identified, but will not be able to fund improvements on this road unless additional sources of funds over current projections are obtained. 8.Traffic Calming Program – The City will continue to address neighborhood traffic safety issues on a case by case basis as they are identified; however, implementation of the full Traffic Calming Program will require additional funding over current projections to be obtained. Implementation Plan Transportation Improvement Plan 2010-2025 The Comprehensive Transportation Plan serves to guide the development of surface transportation within the City, based upon evaluation of existing conditions, projection and Packet Page 256 of 380 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-11 evaluation of future conditions that result from the City’s adopted future land use plan, and priorities stated by Edmonds citizens. A six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is prepared each year, which identifies transportation projects needed to respond to planned growth of the community, and to meet safety and mobility objectives. The TIP integrates City transportation improvement projects and resources with other agencies in order to maximize financing opportunities such as grants, bonds, city funds, donations, impact fees, and other available funding. The TIP is maintained as follows: 1.Provide for annual review by the City Council as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contained in the Comprehensive Plan capital facilities element. 2.Ensure that the TIP: ƒIs consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; ƒDefines a project’s need, and links it to LOS and facility plans; ƒIncludes construction costs, timing, and funding sources; and considers operations and maintenance impacts where appropriate; and ƒEstablishes project development priorities. Table 6-4 summarizes the recommended Transportation Improvement Plan, 2010 through 2025, which is a comprehensive multimodal plan that is based on extensive public input and reflects a major update of the 2003 Plan. The table also identifies which projects are recommended for inclusion in the 2010-2015 TIP. Table 6-4.

Contingency Plan in Case of Revenue Shortfall Some revenue sources are very secure and highly reliable. However, other revenue sources are volatile, and therefore difficult to predict with confidence. To cover the shortfall identified in the previous section, or in the event that revenue from one or more of these sources is not forthcoming in the amounts forecasted in this Transportation Plan, the City has several options: ƒChange the LOS standard, and therefore reduce the need for road capacity improvement projects. ƒIncrease the amount of revenue from existing sources. ƒFind new sources of revenue which could include additional federal and state grants, additional TBD funding, business license fee for transportation, and/or LID/RIDs. ƒRequire developers to provide such facilities at their own expense. ƒChange the Land Use Element in the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of development, and thus reduce the need for additional public facilities; or to further concentrate growth along higher capacity roads that are served by transit.

Implementation of a traffic calming program allows traffic concerns to be addressed consistently and traffic calming measures to be efficiently developed and put into operation. In establishing a neighborhood traffic calming program, the City must take into account the restriction that no deviation from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) design standards is permitted on principal arterials, minor arterials and collector streets without express approval of the WSDOT local programs engineer (RCW 35.78). This limitation does not apply to local access streets, which are defined by RCW 35.78.010 as streets “…generally limited to providing access to abutting property… tributary to major and secondary thoroughfares… generally discouraging through traffic…” Therefore, the City’s traffic calming program focuses on local access streets. The Traffic Calming Program consists of a three-phase process: Phase 1 Petition and Review for Qualification): To begin the process, residents submit a petition for local street traffic concerns, and the City reviews the application and investigates the site to determine if the application qualifies for the Traffic Calming Program. Phase 2 (Education and Enforcement) focuses on education and enforcement solutions, including educational flyers, police enforcement, neighborhood speed watch, signing, and striping modifications. If those solutions are not effective in reducing speed or cut-through traffic, then the process moves on to Phase 3. Phase 3 (Installation of Traffic Calming Device) consists of working with residents to identify the appropriate traffic calming device to be installed, which could include traffic circles, chicanes, and narrowed lanes. If approved by residents in the affected area, the device is planned for installation. Packet Page 291 of 380 Exhibit A illustrates the three-phase process. Each phase of the Traffic Calming Program is summarized in the following sections. Due to economic considerations, city streets that are ineligible for the Traffic Calming Program include: 1. Streets classified other than local streets, including dead-end streets. 2. Streets scheduled for resurfacing within the next two years. 3. Streets with grades, curvatures or other physical conditions where addition of any device would create unsafe conditions. 4. Streets not meeting average daily traffic requirements (see Phase 1 Qualification section).

Traffic Calming Program Process Program applies to neighborhood residential through streets. Packet Page 293 of 380 Phase 1 – Petition and Review for Qualification Phase 1 of the program includes resident petition to begin the process and City review for qualification of the application. Phase 1 consists of the following steps: Citizen Action Re uest and Petition The program begins when a resident turns in a “Citizen Action Request Form” and a “Petition Form” to show neighborhood consensus of the traffic concerns. The Citizen Action Request Form, as shown in Exhibit B, identifies the type of traffic concerns, such as cut-through traffic, vehicle speed, and safety concerns present in the neighborhood. The Petition Form, as shown in Exhibit C, indicates neighborhood consensus that the traffic concerns should be studied. A minimum of eight adult resident signatures from separate addresses on the subject street will be required prior to going forward with the program. City Staff Review City staff will research the issues and acknowledge the requestor if the petition is a candidate for the program. The issues must be on a local access (non-arterial/non-collector) street. If the traffic concern is on an arterial or collector, City staff will inform the Police Department of the concern and ask for additional enforcement. City staff will also acknowledge the requestor if the issues have been previously reviewed and action was taken; if previous investigations have deemed the problem unsolvable, and if the problem is part of an ongoing investigation/action. Site Visit and Data Collection City staff will schedule a meeting with the residents at the problem location to investigate the traffic concerns. City staff will survey traffic signing, pavement markings, sight distances, parking, and road conditions along the subject street. If there appear to be simple solutions to the issues, such as brush trimming, speed limit signs, or channelization, City will implement them as soon as feasible. If the issues are not easy to identify from the site survey, City staff will collect baseline traffic data (traffic volume counts, cut-through traffic, travel speed, and historical accident data) for problem clarification and for future evaluation. Packet Page 294 of 380 ualification City staff will compare the baseline traffic data to the following criteria to determine if the petition qualifies for the program. The criteria to determine if a petition qualifies for the program include the following: The average daily traffic volume on the subject street must be between 500 and 3,000 vehicles per day, because average daily traffic below or above these limits is not suitable for a neighborhood traffic calming device. If the traffic concern is related to safety, there have been at least 3 reported collisions in the past 3 years at the same location. If the traffic concern is related to cut-through traffic, the peak hour (AM or PM, whatever is higher) cut-through traffic is greater than 25% of total traffic and greater than 15 vehicles per hour. If the traffic concern is related to speeding, the daily 85th percentile speed (the speed below which 85% of the cars are traveling) is 8 mph over the posted speed limit. If the baseline traffic data show that the criteria are not met, the City will inform the requestor, record the request and continue to monitor the situation. Packet Page 295 of 380 Exhibit B.

If you agree that the issues stated in the Citizen Action Re uest Form exist on our residential street, please sign below with your address and phone number. The Traffic Calming process involves active participation of our community. The decision making process may re uire us to set and attend neighborhood meetings and conduct further petition campaigns. Name Address Phone Signature Make additional copies as necessary. Packet Page 297 of 380 Phase 2 – Education and Enforcement Phase 2 of the program focuses solutions that include education of drivers on existing traffic regulations, and a focus on enforcement of those regulations. During this phase, neighborhood concerns are addressed by informing drivers of safety issues, by using traffic enforcement techniques, or by adding signs or pavement markings to change driver behavior. These solutions can be an effective way to address speeding within neighborhoods by residents themselves. The City can implement these less restrictive solutions more easily and quickly than physical traffic calming devices. It is recognized, however, that these solutions may produce benefits that are only temporary, and that conditions need to be monitored. Phase 2 consists of the following steps: Development of Solutions If the application is qualified for the program, then City staff will use the baseline traffic data, along with insights and suggestions from area residents, to determine which solutions will be used to improve the traffic issues. Table 1provides a comparison of advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of potential Phase 2 solutions. Implementation Once the solutions are determined, they will be implemented with the assistance of the neighborhood residents. The solutions would be implemented for at least three months to provide a traffic adjustment period. Evaluation Eight to fourteen months after the Phase 2 solutions have been implemented, conditions will be evaluated by City staff based on new traffic, speed, and accident data. The results will be compared with the previous data to measure the effectiveness of these traffic calming solutions. There are three possible outcomes based on the results: If the daily 85th percentile speed is 5 mph or less over the posted limit; or if peak hour (AM or PM) cut-through traffic is at or less than 25% of the total traffic or less than 15 cut-through vehicles, no further action will be taken. If the daily 85th percentile speed is at or below 10 mph but above 8 mph over the posted limit, another Phase 2 solution will be developed and implemented. The City staff will meet with the requestor and neighborhood residents to review if other solutions would be more effective. The application will move to Phase 3 if it meets the following conditions: The daily 85th percentile is over 10 mph greater than the posted limit; or The peak hour (AM or PM) cut-through traffic is greater than 25% of the total traffic and greater than 15 vehicles per hour.

Packet Page 300 of 380 Packet Page 301 of 380 Phase 3 – Installation of Traffic Calming Devices Phase 3 of the program involves modifying the physical geometry of the roadway to install traffic calming devices. Traffic calming devices are much more expensive and more restrictive to local traffic than the education and enforcement solutions in Phase 2. Because of this, traffic calming devices require a much greater level of resident involvement and agreement for implementation. Phase 3 consists of the following steps: City Staff Review If the petition qualifies for a traffic calming device, City staff will conduct a preliminary review with the following tasks. City staff will score the petition by using the Scoring Criteria shown in Table 2. Because traffic calming devices are much more expensive to implement than Phase 2 solutions, the City will use the score to decide the priority to fund a traffic calming device. Applications will be processed in order of priority, in accordance with available funding. City staff will identify the technical feasibility and constraints of potential traffic calming devices. The following are technical aspects that will be considered when reviewing the proposed placement of a traffic calming device: Traffic rerouting. It must be assured that the problem will not shift to adjacent streets. Adequate provisions should be made for buses (school, metro, para-transit), garbage collection, moving vans, construction equipment, pedestrians, and bicyclists, where traffic calming devices are installed. Emergency response times and the need to move vehicles through the area should be considered. The cumulative effect of traffic calming devices on emergency vehicle response times should also be considered. Drainage. It must be assured that devices will allow adequate drainage. If curbs and gutters are not present, the design of individual devices may need to be modified to restrict drivers from using the shoulders to avoid the devices. Proximity to other traffic calming devices and intersections. Roadway surface conditions. Traffic calming devices should be installed on paved roadways with good surface conditions. Roadway grade. Some traffic calming devices should not be used on grades exceeding 8%. Effect of the devices on street sweeping and other maintenance activities. Potential loss of on-street parking. Potential increase in noise levels due to the device. Potential changes to community character. Sight distance obstructions related to landscaping, fences, roadway alignment, grade, etc. Packet Page 302 of 380 Potential impact to residential driveways. City staff will define the study area to ensure it includes all residents that could be affected by a traffic calming device. Table 2. Scoring Criteria for Traffic Calming Devices Criterion Points Average Weekday Daily Traffic (AWDT) 500 – 1,000 vehicles/day 1 1,001 – 2,000 vehicles/day 2 2,001 – 3,000 vehicles/day 3 Traffic Speed (85th Percentile) 5.1 – 8.0 mph above posted limit 2 8.1 – 10.0 mph above posted limit 4 More than 10 mph above posted limit 6 Cut-Through Traffic 25% - 49% of AWDT 1 50% - 74% of AWDT 2 More than 74% of AWDT 3 Accident History of Past 3 Years 1 accident/year 3 2 accidents/year 4 3 accidents/year 5 More than 3 accidents/year 7 Parks / Schools Greater than 6 blocks 1 Between 3 and 6 blocks 2 Within 3 blocks 3 Street Conditions Sidewalks on both sides of street 1 Sidewalks on one side of street 2 No Sidewalks 3 Packet Page 303 of 380 Development of Traffic Calming Solutions City staff will hold a public meeting for all residents within the study area. In conjunction with neighborhood volunteers, City staff will organize the meeting and ensure the neighborhood residents are notified of the meeting. The meeting may include following discussions. Review the effectiveness of Phase 2 solutions. Discuss the funding and priority of the application among other traffic calming applications within the City. Discuss possible traffic calming devices and advantages, disadvantages, and special concerns of these devices. Discuss the entire process for Phase 3 implementation. Establish workgroups to allow residents to work out the solutions with the help of City staff. Include the Fire and Police Departments to discuss possible reduction in response times with traffic calming devices, cumulative effect with existing devices, and other issues relating to specific concerns of the neighborhood layout. The workgroups will discuss the problems and alternative solutions with their neighbors and report their findings to the rest of the group and City staff. The City staff will evaluate technical feasibility of the traffic calming devices that are selected by the neighborhood workgroups. The City staff will then determine the preferred traffic calming device with the approval from the Fire and Police Departments. Table 3 provides a comparison of advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of potential traffic calming devices. Approval for Preferred Device When a preferred traffic calming device is selected, the City staff will send out a voting sheet to each of the affected residents. For a traffic calming device to be implemented, 60% of the households, based on returned ballots, must approve the installation of the proposed traffic calming device. Installation of Traffic Calming Device Once funding is available for the application, the City will begin the design and construction of the approved traffic calming device. Tasks before the construction of the device are discussed below. Baseline Data Collection Before the installation of the device, City staff will collect baseline traffic data within the study area for future comparison and effectiveness evaluation. This traffic data will be used to evaluate whether traffic shifted from the subject street to adjacent streets and to what extent the traffic Packet Page 304 of 380 shifted after a device was installed. The baseline data will also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a device by comparison to future traffic data. Installation of Temporary Device A temporary device may be installed for traffic calming measures, such as diverter, full closure, and partial closure. If appropriate, the City will install a temporary device for up to 6 months to provide a trial period. If proposed by the City, the City will evaluate the effectiveness of the device and examine whether traffic shifted from the subject street to adjacent local streets. If more than 150 vehicles per day have been added to an adjacent street as a result of the traffic calming device, the City may modify the traffic calming solution. Maintenance of Landscaping Landscaping can be included in the installation of some traffic calming devices. However, neighborhood volunteers must sign up to maintain the landscaping. Otherwise, decorative paving will be used. In some areas of the City, landscaping is provided through the flower program. Evaluation If proposed by the City, 6 to 12 months after the traffic calming device has been installed, City staff will collect traffic data on surrounding streets to ensure the device did not shift traffic from the subject street to adjacent local access streets.

Bertrand Hauss and the consultants for the project have done a good job of involving relevant City agencies (including Planning) during the process of developing the plan update. This has provided an ongoing process for checking consistency with the planning efforts lead by these other agencies. For example, Planning’s involvement has focused on assuring that the underlying assumptions and baseline data in the Transportation Plan reflect current land use and buildable lands data. To the best of my knowledge, this cross-checking and incorporation of input from other departments and plans has been done effectively. In direct terms, the Transportation Plan update provides updated data and analysis based on existing City plans (including current data on land use, buildable lands, parks, utilities, public facilities, and economic development priorities). The Transportation Plan also anticipates some of the work being done by the Planning Board and other City agencies on sustainability and transit- oriented and non-motorized priorities. This is an important aspect of the Transportation Plan update; it not only reflects current plans but also seeks to be consistent with emerging City plans and priorities. In technical terms, the Transportation Plan update appears to be solidly based on current transportation and concurrency methods and techniques. The Plan provides a thorough analysis of level-of-service and funding options, which should support clear decision-making during the planning period. MEMORANDUM Packet Page 341 of 380 1 Additional response to public comments (since September 1, 2009) 1/ Olympic Avenue classification upgrade (addition to comment f(3) in the response to Lora Petso’s letter) The recommendation to upgrade the functional classification of Olympic Avenue between Puget Drive and Main Street is intended to reflect the function that staff believes the road is already serving; it is not intended to promote an increased function of the road. This recommendation was inadvertently omitted from the draft Transportation Plan, which was realized in the course of responding to questions about the sidewalk improvement proposed at this location. According to the criteria presented on pages 3-5 and 3-6, Olympic Avenue functions as follows: • Average Daily Traffic (ADT) – The ADT, as of the last count in 2004, is 1,920. This falls within the typical range for a collector street of 1,000 to 5,000 ADT. • Non-Motorized Use – The road serves as a direct link between two pedestrian generators, Edmonds Elementary School and Yost Park (see Figure 4-1). Based upon the criteria applied to prioritize proposed walkway projects (see Table 4-1), a walkway along Olympic Avenue ranked third out of 24 long walkway projects ( 1,000 feet in length) proposed citywide. • Street Length – Olympic Avenue is approximately 0.75-mile long between Puget Drive and Main Street, with no major intersections along that length. Regardless of how it is classified, this road does provide connection to higher classified roads (Puget Drive is a Principal Arterial and Main Street is a Minor Arterial) with limited number of turns, stops, or other distractions that typically limit mobility; and as such will be attractive to some travelers as a path to connect to these roads. • Street Spacing – The spacing between Maplewood Drive and 9th Avenue is approximately 0.6 mile, which is slightly greater than the typical collector spacing of 0.25–0.50 mile. If Olympic Avenue were classified as a collector, it would be located approximately 0.25 mile from the nearest classified road to the west (9th Avenue) and approximately 0.35 mile from the nearest classified road to the east (Maplewood Drive). • Street Connectivity – Olympic Avenue provides direct connection between the downtown area (via Main Street) and north Edmonds. It also provides direct connection to Edmonds Elementary and Yost Park. While it is not the only connection to these areas, the ADT indicates that a greater number of travelers, other than those living along Olympic Avenue, are using this segment of road. Based upon the observations noted in the previous bullets, the road appears to be serving more than just the function of local access. Unlike Principal and Minor arterials (which are intended to serve higher mobility function and lower access function, see Figure 3-1), a collector more equally serves both Packet Page 342 of 380 2 functions of mobility and local access, which does appear to be the situation on Olympic Avenue. The measures listed above serve as guidelines, not as hard and fast rules. Table 3-6 in the Plan identifies the typical roadway standards for the different roadway classifications, guidelines that Edmonds will follow for future developments. The difference in typical standard requirements between local and collector streets is very minor. One difference is the minimum required right- of-way (ROW), which is 55 feet for collectors and 33 feet for local access streets. However, Olympic Avenue currently has a 60-foot ROW for most of its length and an 80-foot ROW for a short portion, so the collector ROW guidelines would already be met if this roadway classification upgrade were to take place (no additional ROW would be needed to meet the City’s guidelines for future developments). While City Staff has recommended this upgrade, the City may still opt to leave the functional classification as a local access street. Unless the road is redesigned to discourage through-traffic, the street would continue to function as it currently does, regardless of how it is classified. The primary implication of leaving Olympic Avenue classified as a local access street is that it would limit potential funding sources, other than local city funds, for construction of the sidewalk that is proposed along the road. Regardless of the road’s classification, no improvements or upgrades to the roadway itself are planned, other than the sidewalk project 2/ Comments pertaining to Rail Station improvements and future ridership (addition to comment e) in response to Roger Hertrich’s comments) On November 4, 2008, voters of the Central Puget Sound region approved a Sound Transit 2 ballot measure, which provides for additional regional express bus and commuter rail service, and 36 additional miles of light rail to form a 55-mile regional system. Sound Transit will deliver this program between 2009 and 2023. The rail portion of the Edmonds Crossing multimodal project is listed as a provisional element under Sound Transit 2. Partnering with the City of Edmonds, Washington State Ferries (WSF), and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad, Sound Transit would construct a new permanent station and expand parking for Sounder riders to up to 300 structured stalls to accommodate the future Sounder demand. This project is dependent upon implementation of the Edmonds Crossing project by WSF, and on BNSF’s relocation of mainline railroad tracks. The addition of Sound Transit service would then become a possibility by making this mode of transportation more attractive with the added capacity to the parking lot (approximately 2 times greater than at the existing station). Therefore, the daily ridership would be expected to increase. Certain measures would be incorporated into the project to guarantee a safe and efficient vehicle movement such as a realignment of SR 104 from its current intersection with Pine Street to provide better access. Since the updated Plan does not assume completion of the Edmonds Crossing project within the 2025 planning horizon, increased vehicle traffic that would result from completion of the project is not reflected in the Plan’s traffic projections. At the time that sufficient funding is secured to allow the project to move forward, an Environmental Impact Packet Page 343 of 380 3 Statement (EIS) would be required, and would need to include an assessment of the project on the City’s transportation system; which could then be incorporated into a future Plan update. Sound Transit currently operates Sounder commuter rail service in Edmonds from a temporary platform. Planning is underway for improvements to the station to meet passenger needs until the future Edmonds Crossing multimodal project is built. The improvements to the interim station will be completed in two phases. In Spring 2010, construction of a new east platform is scheduled to begin, consisting of larger loading passenger areas and shelters. Additionally, the parking area will be updated, improved lighting will cover the platforms and parking area, secure bike storage will be provided. A bus terminal on the northern end of Railroad Street will be the last addition of Phase 1 (18 month construction period). At a later date, a west platform will be added, which will be tied to BNSF’s construction schedule of the second track. BNSF is building the second track to accommodate their business demand and to increase overall efficiency of train crossings in Edmonds. On a daily basis, the current total train traffic along this stretch is 39 trains (8 Sound Transit, 6 Amtrak, and 25 BNSF trains). Sound Transit has informed the City that they do not plan to increase the number of trains in Edmonds within their 2025 planning horizon. Amtrak hasn’t identified any additional service stops within the same planning horizon. The future growth in passenger service related to Amtrak and Sound Transit may increase, but the growth thru 2025 is limited to the train service currently provided by each agency. If the passenger rail service was to change significantly in the future, then a future evaluation could be made and included in the next update to the Transportation Plan. Packet Page 344 of 380 4 Initial response to public comments (for September 1st Council Meeting): 1/ Response to Lora Petso’s letter: The response to each comment is provided in the same order it was provided in the letter: a. General concern about the policy changes in the Plan Overall, the updated Transportation Plan does not reflect a shift in the City’s transportation policy direction. Staff worked with the Transportation Committee to update the transportation policies, over the course of four committee meetings. In general, the Committee’s review and update of the policies sought to (1) tighten the language so that it is more specific, and also grammatically consistent; (2) remove redundancies; (3) reflect programs or initiatives that the City has implemented since the last Plan update in 2002; and (4) remove policies that are actually development standards, and are more appropriately placed in the City’s development regulations, as codified in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Title 9 (Streets and Sidewalks) and Title 18 (Public Works Requirements). For the fourth category listed above, it has been determined by staff that some of the standards reflected in the 2002 Plan are not covered in ECDC, and that it will not be feasible to amend the ECDC prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments. In this case, the policies that cover these areas have been put back into the Transportation Plan as a stop- gap measure; but staff will move these standards into the ECDC as part of a comprehensive review and update of the code. In addition to the revisions listed above, the goals, objectives and policies were renumbered so that they could be more easily cited (e.g. under the 2002 Plan, numbering of goals, objectives, and policies restarted at “1” under each policy section, so there were numerous policies with the same policy number. For the 2009 update, policies were renumbered consecutively from section to section, so that each policy now has its own unique number). Responses to specific policy concerns that have been raised are addressed in section (f) below. b. General concern about procedures for adopting Comprehensive Plan Procedures set forth by staff for adopting the Transportation Plan are consistent with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City Comprehensive Plan. The GMA allows cities to adopt amendments to their comprehensive plans once per year. Thus, the updated Transportation Plan will be adopted toward the end of this year, at the same time as any other 2009 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is requesting that the Council approve (but not adopt) the Transportation Plan at this time, with intent to adopt as part of the overall annual Comprehensive Plan updates. This is mainly because work on the Transportation Plan, which began last year, is ahead of the other proposed amendments. Staff thought it Packet Page 345 of 380 5 would ease the process for the community and Council to review the Transportation Plan earlier (because it is ready for review, and includes a lot of information), and then be able to focus on the other proposed amendments later. However, if it is shown that anything in the other proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments would affect the recommendations in the Transportation Plan, there will be time to make any needed adjustments to the Transportation Plan prior to adoption. Regarding change to level of service (LOS) standards, one reduction is reflected in the 2009 update, which is a change in the standard for SR 524 from LOS D to LOS E. This is a result of feedback provided on July 2nd, 2009 by WSDOT after their review of the Public Review Draft of the Transportation Plan. The additional public hearing (scheduled for September 1) was requested by staff to allow sufficient public review of this change. Additional information about LOS standards is provided below. c. Concern about use of REET revenue to fund transportation projects The Transportation Plan does not recommend any changes in the use of Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds for transportation; but revenue projections do reflect REET as a source of funding as it is reflected in current City policy. Under current City policy, the first $750,000 of REET revenue collected each year is dedicated to parks, and additional revenue collected beyond that level goes to transportation. This has resulted in a wide variance in REET funds that have gone to transportation over the years, from a considerable amount in real estate ‘boom’ years, to little or no funding in other years. The revenue projections in the 2009 update reflect a conservative level of future REET funding for transportation, based upon typical levels that have been generated across the past 10 years or so. d. Concern about establishment of a business license fee to fund transportation projects The business license fee is not identified as a specific source of funding in the Final Transportation Plan. It is mentioned as one of the options that are ‘out there’ but it is not an option that the staff recommends pursuing at this time. In early drafts of the 2009 update, calculation was provided to show what the order of magnitude could be for this type of fee. However, the calculation was dropped from the final recommended Plan since it is not part of staff’s recommended revenue source. It is still mentioned in the Plan as a theoretical revenue source that is an option for the City to pursue in the future (along with other potential sources such as Local Improvement Districts, joint agency funding, and additional grant funding). e. Concern about Point Wells To clarify, because the Point Wells site is under Snohomish County jurisdiction, it is the County that has completed the initial analysis of the site, to support a programmatic EIS on the proposed land use change. As discussed during the 8/4/09 City Council meeting, the Point Wells analysis was not included in the City’s modeling because the proposed change in land use designation at that site has not been adopted by Snohomish County. Reflection of Packet Page 346 of 380 6 adopted land use plans in transportation analysis is consistent with GMA requirements. In addition: • The proposal before the County is a requested change in land use designation, not a site proposal. The purpose of the programmatic EIS prepared by the County for the Point Wells request was to help inform the County Council’s decision on whether to approve or reject the proposed land use designation; and as such, the transportation analysis assessed the high end of what could occur under the proposed change in designation (which does identify potentially a high level of transportation impacts in Edmonds, Woodway, and Shoreline). However, for the purpose of the City’s Transportation Plan, which is to identify projects that the City desires to fund over the next 16 years, it would be premature and highly speculative to try to ‘guess’ what will occur at this site beyond the adopted land use. • If the County approves a change in land use designation at the Point Wells site, whatever development is specifically proposed at the site is still subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) before any development can occur. As part of this process, the County’s programmatic EIS indicates that a high level of coordination with affected jurisdictions would need to occur – this would include identifying impacts and appropriate mitigation for a specific site plan – with the developer responsible for mitigating its share of transportation impacts. The City’s current Transportation Plan would provide a solid basis to allow such coordination to occur, because it shows what the City expects transportation conditions in Edmonds to be without a change in land use at Point Wells. The Transportation Plan provides the City with a baseline that will allow comparison of additional impacts of development at this site, which in turn would clarify the share of mitigation within the City for which the developer would be responsible. However, we do recognize that the County’s Comprehensive Plan amendment process is occurring concurrent to the City’s, and it is possible that a change in land use designation could be adopted by the County by the end of this year. In this case, development at the Point Wells site cannot occur right away for the reasons stated above, so the City will have time to incorporate this change into its next Comprehensive Plan update, which is scheduled for 2011. This illustrates why comprehensive plans are continuously reviewed and potentially updated every year, even though they are long-range planning documents. f. Concern about specific policy changes (1) Cul-de-sac policy This policy was not dropped because anyone disagrees with it, but because it is a design standard that more appropriately belongs in the City’s development code. This standard distance came from the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), a nationwide institute providing standards for planning practice. Additionally many local jurisdictions are currently using 600’ as their standard maximum cul-de-sac length. However, upon review by staff from the Development Services Department, it has been determined that this standard is not covered in the ECDC, so it has been added back into the Transportation Plan as a stop- gap measure, as discussed in section (a) above. Packet Page 347 of 380 7 (2) Street right-of-way requirements for new development The comment references Policy 5.2 in the previous plan, but to clarify, the policy mentioned is actually Policy 5.1. This policy is also numbered 5.1 in the update. Right-of-way requirements for new development are specified in the Standards Details, which are codified in the ECDC. Right-of-way requirements for specific development proposals are not dictated by the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, the reference to the Transportation Element was removed for consistency with city procedures and to eliminate confusion. (3) Sidewalk location policies, and locations of proposed new sidewalks The previous Policy 1.2 (“Sidewalks should be located in areas where there is sufficient pedestrian traffic”) and Policy 1.3 (“Sidewalk design should be related to the function and the anticipated amount of pedestrian traffic”) were replaced with numerous policies (numbered 6.1 through 6.19) that are consistent with the spirit of the original policies, but provide much more specific direction. Sidewalk projects were identified and prioritized through an extensive process that was conducted by the citizens’ Walkway Committee. The Walkway Committee consisted of 12 members who live in across the different geographical areas of the city, who walk the city regularly. Table 4-1 in the Transportation Plan summarizes the prioritization criteria that were established (which are a refinement of the criteria presented in the 2002 Plan). The criteria place the highest emphasis on safety, connectivity, and level of pedestrian activity. Appendix D of the Transportation Plan summarizes the scores for each of the projects on the list. Proposed sidewalk projects were presented at Open House #2 (on 3/5/09), and again in the proposed priority order at Open House #3 (on 6/30/09). Some projects were added based upon feedback received on the Public Review Draft Transportation Plan, prior to Open House #3. All potential projects were evaluated very thoroughly by the Walkway Committee members. Regarding the priority of specific projects, N. Meadowdale Beach Road is one of the only remaining collectors in the City without sidewalks. This addition would create a pedestrian connection between 76th Avenue W (sidewalk currently under construction) and Olympic View Drive (sidewalk recently added during Phase 1 of OVD project). Pine Street is also included in the Walkway Plan and was ranked lower than the previous project because of lower vehicle speeds and stop-controlled intersections. Olympic Avenue has an existing walkway with rolled curb on the east side of this street. This stretch has high pedestrian volume with access to Yost Park and Edmonds Elementary School to go along with high vehicular activity. Additionally a roadway classification upgrade (from local to collector) is recommended for Olympic Avenue. (4) Sidewalk construction policies Similar to the cul-de-sac policy, the sidewalk construction policies were initially dropped from the Draft Transportation Plan because they are development requirements that more Packet Page 348 of 380 8 appropriately belong in the City’s development code. However, upon review by staff from the Development Services Department in June 2009, it was determined that these requirements are not covered in the ECDC, so they were added back into the Transportation Plan as a stop-gap measure, as discussed in section (a) above. These are included as Policy 7.1 through 7.4 in the updated Transportation Plan. (5) Goal to establish level of service standards The goal to “Establish appropriate levels of service for transportation facilities to adequately serve existing and future developments” was removed because the LOS standards are actually established under Policy 15.3, so it was considered redundant. (6) LOS Policies Transit policy: The 2002 policy indicated that a maximum distance of ¼ mile access to transit is “desirable”, but that ½ mile is “acceptable”. Since the City does not control where transit is provided, the purpose of transit policies in the Transportation Plan is mainly to communicate the City’s priorities to the agencies that provide transit service – for local bus service, this is Community Transit. It was determined by the Transportation Committee that presenting “desirable” verses “acceptable” distances to transit did not provide very strong direction regarding the City’s priorities on access to transit – so the policy was revised to state only that “A desirable maximum distance is ¼ mile.” (Policy 9.2 in the updated Plan). LOS standards for roads: The following information was provided at the August 4 City Council Meeting City Local Streets The purpose of the City’s concurrency standards is to maintain mobility on city streets, in line with current levels of development. Since the primary function of local streets is to provide access, and not serve a high level of mobility, the project team determined that it is not appropriate to define a concurrency standard for local streets. In addition to concurrency objectives being counter to the function of local streets, it is simply not practical for the City to monitor LOS on all local streets (which make up about 76% of the streets in the City) for the purpose of concurrency. For these two reasons, the LOS B standard that was defined for local streets in the 2002 Plan was dropped. However, even though a standard was defined in the 2002 Plan, no concurrency locations in that plan consisted of the intersection of two local streets –so this decision does not affect the analyses or conclusions of either version of the Plan. Please note, also, that the addition of the Traffic Calming Program in the 2009 update does address the potential for operational issues on local streets in a way that correctly lines up with their purpose, and thus is much more effective than concurrency for monitoring and addressing traffic operations on local streets. If local streets are experiencing traffic volumes that are too high or speeds that are too fast, this program lays out the steps that the City will Packet Page 349 of 380 9 take to address those issues. We feel that application of a Traffic Calming Program is superior to concurrency in addressing traffic issues on local streets. The concurrency standard of LOS C for collectors and LOS D for arterials is the same in the 2009 update as it was for the 2002 Plan. State Highways Any state highway not designated as Highway Statewide Significance (HSS) is automatically considered as a Highway Regional Significance (HRS). Local jurisdictions may choose to include them in their concurrency program. In Edmonds, SR 524 and SR 99 north of SR 104 are HRS. In the 2002 Plan, SR 524 was held to the City’s arterial standard of LOS D – and no standard was applied to SR 99. In 2005, PSRC developed LOS standards for HRS facilities, in collaboration with local jurisdictions within the region. As they were emerging, the HRS standards were often treated as suggestions, with many local jurisdictions maintaining their locally adopted standards on these facilities. However, in its review of the June 2009 draft, WSDOT directed the City that the PSRC standards must be applied to HRS facilities. Thus, the 2009 update applies the PSRC standard of LOS E to these facilities. (7) TIP policy section dropped The TIP section was dropped from the policies because the requirements are dictated by state law, and the policy section was just a repeat of those requirements. In addition, the 2010-2015 TIP is included in the Implementation section of Chapter 6. However, to clarify how the annual TIP process ties to the overall Transportation Plan, this information, which was removed from the policies, will be added into the Implementation Section of Chapter 6. (8) Disagreement with project priorities Walkway project priorities – please see response (f.3) above. Roadway project priorities – Table 3-17 summarizes the prioritization criteria that were developed for roadway projects. The criteria place the strongest weight on safety and compliance with concurrency, with additional weight given for projects with high grant eligibility, high magnitude of improvement (e.g. improve a greater number of traffic movements), and/or provide multimodal improvements. With regard to the extension of 228th Street SW in Ballinger, it was added in the updated Plan after being ranked as the #1 project in the SR 99 Study conducted by the City in 2006. This project received the highest safety score and also ranks high because of grant eligibility with the regional magnitude of the project. It would help reduce the intersection delay to many intersections east of SR 99 along both SR 104 and 220th Street SW. It also adds pedestrian connection and provides a safe direct access for Edmonds residents to the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center from SR 99. (9) Omission of inter-jurisdictional efforts on SR 99 and Point Wells development This section specifies the inter-jurisdictional coordination needed by the City to implement the projects and recommendations presented in the Transportation Plan. For the reasons Packet Page 350 of 380 10 stated earlier, it is premature to incorporate potential future development at Point Wells into transportation recommendations or into the implementation plan. 10) Road resurfacing projects The resurfacing of road projects is explained in more detail on pages 3-52 and 3-53. The selection of projects depends on the review of pavement survey conducted every 2 years as part of the WSDOT Pavement Condition Survey. All principal arterials, minor arterials, and collectors are assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 0 to 100 based on the quality of the pavement. Additionally, Public Works will respond each time a citizen concern is received regarding pavement defects on a local street. The complaint will be assessed and prioritized with regard to public safety. Those issues that are capable of resolve using city forces are dealt with. Those that are too large are added to future overlay considerations. The utility projects are also taken into account, whether a water, sewer, or storm project is programmed in the near future. The final selection of projects is based on the proximity of those different projects. The budget shortfall has limited the number of overlay projects over the last couple of years. During the next overlay program, all roadway segments will be considered based on pavement condition and proximity to the utility projects. 11) Future planned development included in model The summary in Table 1-1 originally included projected development in the unincorporated Esperance area that is surrounded by the incorporated City. The table has been corrected so that it only includes projected development (residential and non-residential) within the city limits, which does match up to the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. 2/ Response to Roger Hertrich’s comments: a. Questions the use of concurrency to classify streets, anticipating streets with a higher level of service classification would receive the most money The GMA requires that cities and counties each adopt a concurrency management system, but leaves it to the local jurisdictions to determine what their concurrency requirements will be. In the City’s adopted program, concurrency is not used to classify streets, but the street functional classification does determine its concurrency requirements (defined in Policy 15.3 in the updated Plan). Under the city’s concurrency system, higher classified streets actually have a lower standard than lower classified streets. However, it is often true that improvements to higher classified streets are more costly than improvements to lower classified streets. This is in part why the concurrency requirements are often lower on higher classified streets. The other part of the reason is that drivers tend to accept higher levels of congestion on higher classified streets. b. Questions the high level improvement that is projected with a traffic signal installed at various locations For the stop-controlled intersection of 196th and 88th, the existing LOS is: - northbound: LOS C Packet Page 351 of 380 11 - southbound: LOS F LOS F is projected in both directions by 2015. In developing transportation improvements to address identified deficiencies, it is the goal to identify the least expensive level of improvement needed to address the problem, while still meeting overall mobility objectives. Since installation of a traffic signal is “all or nothing” (as compared to a widening, which is typically proposed only in the direction of traffic movements that are experiencing problems), it can end up adding more capacity than is needed to meet concurrency, which is the expected case at 196th and 88th, and also at Caspers and 9th. In each of these cases, no lower level of project improvement that would allow all traffic movements (such as adding lanes in certain directions) was identified that would solve the identified concurrency deficiency. However, at 196th and 88th, an alternate project that allows right-turn only out of 88th has been identified in the Plan as another option that would allow the intersection to meet concurrency requirements. While this solution does restrict the mobility of some movements by prohibiting northbound and southbound left turns / through movements, it is expected to address the LOS deficiency with less additional capacity. c. Concerns about proposed future signal at Main and 9th The intersections of both Main and Walnut with 9th Avenue are operating at LOS E under existing conditions, and are projected to operate at LOS F by 2015. Similar to the discussion above, it is not the goal of concurrency to improve to anything higher than LOS D, but installation of a traffic signal would add capacity to both intersections beyond that required to meet concurrency. The project team did evaluate a “non-traffic signal solution” at the intersections of 9th with Main and Walnut. Under this solution, parking would be removed along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. While it not common to see two lanes at stop-controlled approaches, it is not unheard of. Because it would likely take drivers a little time to adjust to this configuration, staff initially opted for the more conventional traffic signal solution. However, this solution will be added to the Plan as an alternate improvement to address deficiencies at these two locations. d. Recommend using safety as the basis for prioritizing projects Safety is a strong consideration in prioritizing the City’s projects, as is specified in Table 3-17. In fact, three of the top five projects listed in Table 3-18 are identified in the Plan primarily as safety projects. However, safety is not the only consideration. The GMA requires that jurisdictions identify and fund projects that are needed to maintain their adopted concurrency programs (projects must be funded, or have funding identified, within 6 years of Packet Page 352 of 380 12 the year that they are triggered). In many cases, concurrency projects would also improve safety conditions at the locations where they are implemented. e. Question about the traffic concerns / congestion issues to / from Ferry Terminal and Sound Transit Station (not referenced in Plan) The Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Facility is mentioned in Chapter 5 of the Plan and the policy section. This project is still planned as a long-range project (in Washington State Ferry plan) and addresses many safety improvements, such as a better separation between all the different modes of transportation. Additionally, WSF recently chose the Kingston to Edmonds route to participate in the reservation pilot program. The main purpose of this program is to reduce ferry queuing with a reservation system. The pre-design study began in July and an implementation date could be as early as 2011. If implemented, congestion along SR-104 during ferry queuing peak hours would be significantly reduced. Traffic generated by the existing ferry terminal was taken into account in the modeling and LOS analysis that was completed for the Plan. 3/ Response to Al Rutledge’s comments: a) Concerns about SR 99 @ 220th St. SW not being mentioned in plan The intersection of SR 99 and 220th is addressed in the plan, and included in the 2016-2025 Transportation Improvement Plan. The proposed improvements consist of widening the westbound right turn lane of 220th and the southbound left turn lane of SR 99. Since this intersection is along a Highway of Regional Significance (HRS), the intersection was analyzed against a concurrency standard of LOS E and therefore not meeting those by 2025 with LOS F. b) Question about Edmonds Way @ 238th St. SW (during TIP Public Hearing) This intersection is also identified in the plan, and included in the 2016-2025 Transportation Improvement Plan. The existing LOS is F (see Figure 3-10). Since the intersection is along a Highway of Statewide Significance, (HSS), the intersection isn’t subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined. The improvement consists of installing a traffic signal (along with meeting one of the traffic signal warrant per analysis and WSDOT approval) – or the City would need to coordinate with WSDOT to determine an alternative solution to the operational issues that have been identified. 4/ Response to Council President Wilson’s comment: - Question about providing additional traffic signal warrant studies at 196th @ 88th Staff has evaluated the accidents that have occurred at this location from 2008 (end previous study) to the present. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that a Packet Page 353 of 380 13 traffic signal can be warranted (Warrant 7) at an intersection if: “5 or more reported crashes, of types susceptible to correction by a traffic control signal, have occurred within a 12- month period”. During that time period, only 4 accidents have been recorded at or near the intersection and none are characterized as correctable by the installation of a traffic signal. Therefore, the intersection currently doesn’t warrant a traffic signal based on the Crash Experience Warrant. Since the existing LOS is F (below PSRC Standards as along SR 524), the City will continue to monitor the intersection to explore if any other warrants may be met (such as volume warrant). Additionally, an alternative was identified in the Plan by limiting northbound and southbound movements to right turn only – analysis indicates that this would address the LOS problem without installation of a signal. If you have any additional questions prior to the upcoming Transportation Plan Public Hearing (09/01/09), please address them to the City Engineer, Mr. Rob English at: english@ci.edmonds.wa.us.

Continued Public Hearing for Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/22/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:15 Minutes Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Continued public hearing for the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015) and proposed resolution. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council approve the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015) and adopt the proposed resolution. Previous Council Action On August 4, 2009, Council held a public hearing on the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015). Narrative On August 4, 2009, Council held a public hearing on the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The public hearing was to be continued on the September 1st Council meeting and was rescheduled after the meeting was cancelled. The 2009 update to the Comprehensive Transportation Plan was used to develop the Six-Year TIP. Since the Comprehensive Transportation Plan public hearing is continued to the September 22nd Council meeting, a second public hearing on the 2010-2015 TIP will be held during the same meeting. Narrative from August 4 Council Meeting: The Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a transportation planning document that identifies funded, partially funded, and unfunded projects that are planned or needed over the next six calendar years. The TIP also identifies the expenditures and secured or reasonably expected revenues for each of the projects included in the TIP. RCW 35.77.010 and 36.81.121 require that each city update and adopt their TIP prior to adoption of the budget. A copy of the adopted TIP will be submitted to the Puget Sound Regional Council and Washington State Department of Transportation. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan update prepared during 2008-09 was used to develop the proposed 2010-2015 TIP. The TIP document includes a current project list with updated project costs and funding from the Plan. Packet Page 355 of 380 Due to a shortfall in transportation funding, the TIP includes new revenue from the Transportation Benefit District (TBD) beginning in year 2013. The future TBD revenue is based on a $40 increase to the current $20 vehicle license fee authorized by the TBD earlier this year. Any increase above the current $20 vehicle license fee would require voter approval. Staff recommends the TBD begin a comprehensive investigation in 2010 to determine whether the TBD revenue should be increased and a timeline for implementation, if an increase is pursued. A number of unsecured State and Federal transportation grants have been programmed in the TIP. Most transportation grants are competitive, and the success of how many grants are secured in the future will depend on other transportation needs and funding requests in the region. Staff recommends the Council approve the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program and adopt the Resolution.

Scott Snyder; Kristin N. Eick RE: Fire Department Transition: Primer on Contracts for Fire Services, Annexation to Fire Districts, and Regional Fire Authorities This memorandum provides an overview of the various ways local governments may contract for or obtain fire services. This memorandum addresses the formation, governance, financial, and employment/labor considerations involved in choosing the form of fire services to be adopted. Specifically, this memorandum addresses the following options: (1) Contracting with the Snohomish County Fire District #1 for fire services; (2) Annexation to Snohomish County Fire District #1; and (3) Formation of a Regional Fire Authority. Contracting for Service This option requires the adoption of an interlocal agreement between the City and the fire district, which would require the City to pay the fire district a certain amount of property tax revenues in exchange for fire services, including fire prevention, fire suppression, emergency medical services, code compliance and inspection services, building plan review, fire investigation, and public education services. This choice clearly gives the contracting parties greater freedom to allocate responsibilities in the manner most suited to the relationship. Fire Chief Tomberg’s memorandum further discusses this option. From the taxpayer perspective there are no new taxes; the City is reallocating existing revenue. Annexation to Fire District A city or town may annex to a fire protection district, including a fire protection district located in another county contiguous with city territory,1 as authorized by RCW 52.04.061. Annexation is initiated by the city council adopting an ordinance stating an intent to join the fire protection district. The ordinance is then forwarded to the board of fire commissioners of the fire protection 1 RCW 52.04.141. Packet Page 363 of 380 Edmonds City Council August 31, 2009 Page 2 {WSS740046.DOC;1\00006.070045\ } district. If the board concurs in the annexation, notification is transmitted to the legislative authority or authorities of the county in which the city and the district are situated.2 The county legislative authority then calls a special election to be held in the city and in the fire protection district.3 However, prior to the special election, annexation to a fire district may also trigger review by the Boundary Review Board.4 If a majority of the voters in the city and a majority of the voters in the district are in favor of the annexation, then the city is annexed to the fire protection district.5 The annual tax levy imposed by the fire protection district then applies throughout the district, including within the corporate limits of the city that has annexed to the district. Any city or town annexed to a fire protection district is entitled to levy up to three dollars and sixty cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation less any regular levy made by the fire protection district, provided that the limitations upon regular property taxes imposed by Chapter 84.55 RCW apply.6 Currently 49 cities are known to have annexed to fire protection districts.7 Consequently, the choice to annex to Snohomish County Fire District No. 1 will have the following results: (1) the City of Edmonds will no longer have governance control over the fire services provided within the district, and the City will essentially have no responsibility for providing fire services, unless otherwise provided in a preannexation agreement; (2) a preannexation agreement will likely be used to formalize the terms and conditions by which the transition will occur if the vote to annex is successful, including allocation of responsibility for emergency services, fire prevention and investigative services (including development plan review and approval, fire investigations for origin and cause of fires and explosions, testing of sprinkler systems in new construction, occupancy inspections, code interpretation and enforcement in conjunction with construction, testing of fire alarm systems in new construction, etc.), and public education services, as well as a statement of the ownership and possession rights of real and personal property of the city and district; (3) prior to making the decision to adopt a notice of intent to annex, the City would need to notify affected collective bargaining groups and negotiate with respect to the impacts of the decision; (4) the tax revenues in the general fund previously used to support the city’s fire department will no longer be dedicated to such purposes and will be available for other uses as the fire district taxes will fund the fire district; and (5) the city will still be required to pay for fire protection for city buildings and property.8 2 RCW 52.04.061. 3 The date of the special election is determined according to RCW 29A.04.321. The county legislative authority must also publish notice of the special election as provided for in RCW 29A.52.351 (notice must be given by at least one publication not more than ten nor less than three days before the election by the county auditor or the officer conducting the election, in one or more newspapers of general circulation within the county). 4 RCW 52.04.010; RCW 36.93.090 5 RCW 52.04.071. 6 RCW 52.04.081. 7 Municipal Research Services Center, Interlocal Cooperation in Fire Services (Oct. 2008), http://www.mrsc.org/Subjects/PubSafe/fire/ig-fire.aspx. 8 RCW 52.30.020; Att’y Gen.

Packet Page 364 of 380 Edmonds City Council August 31, 2009 Page 3 {WSS740046.DOC;1\00006.070045\ } Regional Fire Authority As an alternative to operation of a regular city fire department, or annexing to a fire protection district (a county process), the Washington state legislature empowered municipal entities (including fire protection districts) to form regional fire protection service authorities (RFAs).9 An RFA may be created by a single vote of the people approving a regional fire protection services authority plan and approving the creation of the authority. as with the other options, impact bargaining is required. The plan is created by a planning committee composed of three elected officials appointed by the governing bodies of each of the participating fire protection districts and city fire departments making up the proposed RFA.10 The plan that is implemented by the authority, after it is developed, and after financing is arranged by the committee (as a part of the plan), may be for capital projects, fire and emergency service operations, preservation and maintenance of existing or future facilities, and ambulance service in limited circumstances where the population is not adequately served by existing private ambulance services. Additionally, the plan must be reviewed every ten years. RCW 52.26.030(6) provides that the planning committee may dissolve itself at any time by a majority vote of the total membership of the planning committee, and any participating fire protection jurisdiction may withdraw upon thirty calendar days' written notice to the other jurisdictions. The financing options include fire benefit charges, as provided for fire protection districts, and three $0.50 per $1,000 assessed value voter-approved excess property tax levies.11 Benefit charges are imposed, per the voter-approved plan, on personal property and improvements to real property which are located within the authority on the date specified and which have received or will receive the benefits provided by the authority.12 The aggregate amount of these benefit charges in any one year may not exceed an amount equal to sixty percent of the operating budget for the year in which the benefit charge is to be collected.13 The benefit charge must be reasonably proportioned to the measurable benefits received by the property resulting from the services afforded by the authority, and a property owner may request an itemized list of charges for each measurable benefit attributed to the property.14 The regional authority would then contract with the county treasurer to collect the benefit charges prior to their imposition.15 This option frees existing tax revenue for general fund purposes. Tax increases are voter approved 9 Chapter 52.26 RCW. 10 RCW 52.26.030(2). As an aside, the governing bodies from which the members of the planning committee are appointed may individually determine at their discretion to pay their appointees compensation at the rate of $70 per day up to $700 per year for serving on the planning committee.

Packet Page 365 of 380 Edmonds City Council August 31, 2009 Page 4 {WSS740046.DOC;1\00006.070045\ } Generally, a simple majority vote of the voters in the territory of the authority is required for approval of the ballot measure forming the RFA. However, if the plan authorizes the authority to impose benefit charges or sixty percent voter approved taxes, then a 60% majority of the voters of the RFA voting at a general election or at a special election called by the authority for that purpose must approve the plan.16 Each year that benefit charges are imposed, the regional authority must hold public hearings regarding those benefit charges.17 The taxing authority of the regional authority is an alternative to, rather than in addition to, the existing taxing authority of the participating jurisdictions. Once created, the authority may issue its own debt maturing in up to ten years and notes maturing in up to 20 years. It may also pledge taxes of the authority, by contract of up to 25 years, to pay principal and interest on bonds issued by the authority. The authority may incur general indebtedness and issue general obligation bonds maturing in up to ten years to be paid by voter-approved excess property tax levies. An RFA can also, in addition to the three $.50 per $1,000 assessed value voter-approved excess property tax levies, levy up to a $.50 per $1,000 assessed value EMS levy.18 This levy would be limited by any amount Snohomish County currently levies for EMS services. Thus, if Snohomish County levies $.50 per $1,000 assessed value, the RFA would not be able to impose the tax. Clearly, this method of providing fire service involves a great deal of cooperation with the neighboring fire district, and the City maintains an active role in the governance of the regional fire authority board. However, like annexation to a fire district, creation of an RFA will generally raise taxes for property owners within the City. In each case, the increases are voter approved. Formation of a Fire District Finally, it is important to mention that it is not legally permissible for a city to establish its own fire district, i.e., a fire district covering only its existing jurisdictional boundaries. The statute governing the formation of fire protection districts, RCW 52.02.020, specifically states that the formation process is exclusive for areas outside of cities and towns, except where the cities and towns have been annexed into a fire protection district. The legislature does not appear to give cities the option of giving their fire departments independent taxing authority. Thus, annexation to a fire district or contracting for services is the only method of obtaining fire services from a fire district. WSS/KNE 16 RCW 52.26.220. 17 RCW 52.26.230. 18 RCW 84.52.069.

Four Sweet Gum Trees Located at 5th Avenue South & Dayton Street Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/22/2009 Submitted By:Kim Karas Submitted For:Noel Miller Time:10 Minutes Department:Public Works Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Discussion and potential action related to four (4) Sweet Gum trees located at 5th Avenue South & Dayton Street. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff It is recommended that the City Council allow an exception to the Street Tree Removal Moratorium and allow for the removal and replacement of the existing Sweet Gum trees with October Glory Maple Trees at the 5th Avenue and Dayton Street intersection. Previous Council Action In 2006, the Street Tree Plan was adopted by City Council. On May 26, 2009, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign a right of entry agreement with Horizon Bank to remove and replace trees abutting their frontage on Dayton Street; and on August 25, 2009 a moratorium on the removal of street trees was established. Narrative After Council's decision on August 25th, to not remove the sweet gum trees at 5th & Dayton, the City Arborist, Dave Timbrook expressed to the Mayor, Public Works Director and the Parks Maintenance Manager his additional concerns in regards to the continued sustainability of the trees. In order to substantiate the City Arborist's concerns, staff hired an independent certified arborist to provide a more comprehensive analysis. The attached report can be summarized by three basic findings. First, the branches of this species of tree are becoming structurally weak as they grow larger. Some of the branches have broken off or will eventually break off which poses a hazard to pedestrians. This also results in the loss of the streetscape canopy. Secondly, the trees are planted in relatively narrow planting strips. Sweet gum trees have fast shallow and root growth which quickly fills up the planting strip area and then migrates into the adjacent sidewalk space, thus uplifting the sidewalks. Finally, this type of tree has a relatively short life span in an urban environment. These findings summarize why sweet gum trees are not a recommended street tree in the City’s Street Tree Plan. The City Council is aware that the ADA ramps and the butting sidewalks will be replaced as part of the Dayton Street pavement resurfacing project. By removing and replacing the sweet gum trees now, staff will be able to have the sidewalks permanently replaced as part of this project. If Packet Page 367 of 380 Council elects to continue the street tree moratorium, for this intersection, temporary sidewalk repairs with asphalt will need to be made as the tree roots will damage permanent concrete sidewalk panels in a relatively short amount of time. Staff believes that installing rubber sidewalks and ramps in this location is not practical since the curb ramp elevations need to remain fixed per ADA requirements and the tree root growth will change the slope and elevation over time. In addition, each curb ramp at this intersection is a unique size and shape, and ordering uniquely sized ramps becomes impractical and expensive. Finally, special approvals from the State DOT and the Federal Highway Administration would be required (and would very likely be rejected) since rubberized sidewalk material is not recognized as an acceptable product for street projects.

Miller Public Works Director City of Edmonds 7110 210th St. SW Edmonds, WA 98026 RE:Tree Condition Evaluations and Sidewalk Damage Assessments City of Edmonds, 5th and Dayton Noel: This report is provided at your request to address the conditions of four sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua ), located at the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of 5th and Dayton in downtown Edmonds. The purpose of the report is provide my opinion on the following: • The present conditions of the trees as they relate to hazard potential, and conflicts with pedestrian and vehicular traffic; • Lifespan of these trees in the urban setting; • Sidewalk damage related to root growth; • Timing of replacement of trees coordinating with replacement of sidewalks. The contents of this report include the following: • Purpose of this report; • Conditions at present; • Proposed sidewalk and planting strip improvements; • Concerns over trees, and • Recommendations. I recently met with you, Dave Timbrook (City Arborist), Rich Lindsay (Park Maintenance Manager), and Tod Moles (Street/Storm Manager) for the purpose of hearing your concerns over the situations with these trees, to assess the trees themselves and surrounding site conditions and to gather photos of the trees and sidewalk conditions. 1.0 Purpose of This Report 1.1 Outside Professional Opinion As expressed during our site meeting, the driver for my involvement in this project is request by the City to have an outside professional opinion of the best Packet Page 369 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 2 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC approach to managing these trees. It is important to note that I understand your desire is to remove these four trees, repair the sidewalks and replace them trees with October glory maples (Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’). My role and objective are not to support your opinion and approach but to give my professional opinion on the present situation, the conditions and ages of the trees and to make recommendations that are both practical and prudent. Supporting your opinion and that of Dave Timbrook is not the intention of my evaluations and report. The intention is to provide my professional opinion regardless of those already expressed. 1.2 Relative Professional Background I have been a consulting arborist in the Pacific Northwest for more than 10 years. In that period of time, I have consulted on a variety of tree related issues, including street trees, particularly the problems that surface as street trees age. I have been involved in two legal conflicts between cities and citizens where the issue was injury to the citizen resulting from tripping over lifted sidewalk sections. In each case, the sidewalk lifting was caused by root-growth of nearby street trees, and in each case, the nearest tree was a sweet gum. Prior to beginning my career as a consulting arborist, I worked with the City of Everett’s Urban Forestry Division as a street tree care professional. During my tenure with the city, I conducted regular maintenance on many street trees and addressed situations where tree growth caused sidewalk damage. In many situations, the trees causing the damage, while established and stately providing an ideal streetscape scene, were eventually removed and replaced, along with the damaged sidewalk sections, as the liability was considered to be too great to assume and the age of the trees beyond their optimal lifespan in the confined planting space of the urban environment. Partly because of the issues related to sidewalk lifting, during my tenure with the city, the city arborist instituted a street-tree replacement program designed to identify potential problem situations before problems developed. This required the cataloging of each tree, when it was planted, species, growth habits both above and below ground and surrounding conditions. As a result, many trees were put on the list to be removed and replaced with younger, more suitable species. Finally, as a graduate student at the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington, I focused my studies on the physiology of large woody plants, namely trees. A primary philosophy when approaching the selection of Packet Page 370 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 3 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC species for use in the urban environment and for managing the urban forest was driven home to me several times by my research advisor and that was, “the right plant for the right place.” Essentially, what that statement means is that in considering tree selection, one must take into account the site constraints and conditions and the tree’s eventual size and special requirements. Sometimes, a tree when planted out that was the right plant for the right place, grows beyond its constraints and becomes the wrong plant for the place. 2.0 Conditions at Present 2.1 Tree Condition Sweet gum is characterized by relatively fast growth, broad-spreading crown and a surface dwelling root system. In the streetscape of the urban environment where the tree is located in small planting strips surrounded by impervious surface, the last quality is exacerbated by the need for the tree to reach the surface where the necessary resources, namely water, are located. As a result, the root systems tend to be closer to the surface in these situations than in, say, a park where the tree is surrounded by grass which allows water to readily percolate into the soil. In addition, sweetgum is also notorious for developing co-dominant leaders with weak attachments. This condition is shown in figure 1 of two trees are located at the northeast corner of the intersection. The red circles identify the connections between co-dominant leaders on each of these trees. Co-dominant leaders are situations where two leaders of relatively the same size emerge from the main trunk, both growing upward, as if they are the main leader themselves. The problem with them is that they tend to be fast growing. As a result of their fast- growing habit, their tight connection (more V-shaped than L-shaped) and each being relatively the same size, the connections between them tend to be weak and prone to the development of included bark. Included bark is a situation where the bark at the base of each co-leader at the point of the connection grows against the bark of the other co-leader. This creates pressure predisposing one of the co-dominant leaders to failure during a windstorm or even in the absence of winds. Both of these trees possess a structure that is prone to failure leaving a large wound and a misshapen form such as the tree in figure 2, located at the northwest corner of the intersection. The other tree the northwest corner of the intersection, has several large branches that grow upward, as opposed to laterally, with tight connections to the main leader that could develop included bark as the branches and main leader continue to increase in girth. The tree that has suffered loss of one of its co-dominant leaders in figure 2 has developed a Packet Page 371 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 4 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC deep decay cavity from the wound where the leader failed. This poses a problem with both the future health of the tree and its structural integrity, increasing its failure potential. 2.2 Spatial Constraints All four of these trees are planted in very narrow and small planting strips, no more than four feet wide. The base of each trunk is considerably large leaving little room for continued growth without causing considerable damage to both the trees and the sidewalks. While the trunks themselves may not outgrow the planting area for a while, the root flare, which is the location where the trunk becomes the roots just below the ground surface, spreads out beyond the trunk at the surface for a considerable distance. As this continues to grow, it will come in direct contact with the concrete causing damage to both the concrete and the tree itself. The roots of these trees, growing so close to the surface have already damaged the sidewalks causing uplift of sections as high as 1 1/2 inches in places (see figures 3 and 4). This uplift is more than enough to pose a tripping hazard to passersby. As I stated earlier in the report, I have been involved in more than one court case involving a citizen suing the City of Seattle over injuries sustained from tripping over a lifted portion of a sidewalk caused by the roots of sweet gum trees. Above ground, the lower branches of a few of the trees are low enough to be damaged by traffic, namely large trucks. I did note some damage to branches on the tree to the left in figure 1. While these branches can be pruned out, it is yet another statement to how these trees have outgrown their available space. 2.3 Urban Tree Lifespan It was passed on by one of the men at the meeting that these trees have been in these planting strips for at least 25 years, and potentially as long as 40. Whether 25 or 40, each is a very long time for a tree in such a highly urbanized setting where the conditions are harsh and the constraints are considerable. While I was unable to find any hard and fast information on the longevity of trees in the urban environment, the common approach to replacement is done on a tree by tree basis and based upon the condition of the tree its surroundings. Factors determining whether or not replacement is warranted include tree size, species (whether or not it is still an appropriate species for the urban setting it is in), damage that the tree may be causing to the surrounding landscape and weighing the benefits of keeping the tree and either assuming liability for hardscape damage or regularly replacing the damaged pieces versus simply Packet Page 372 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 5 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC replacing the tree. Quite often, when the approach is to remove the tree(s) and replace them, a policy and plan are established to require regular replacement of trees at either set intervals or when certain criteria are met regarding either damage or special constraints. Sweet gum is no longer recommended by the City of Edmonds to be used as a street tree. This policy indicates a conscious understanding by the city of its fast growth rate, potential for developing growth forms that make it prone to failure, it’s special requirements and its tendency to conflict with elements of the urban landscape, such as sidewalks and vehicular traffic. 3.0 Planned Improvements 3.1 Sidewalk Replacement It was shared with me during our site meeting that the damaged sidewalks adjacent to these trees (shown in figures 3 and 4) are scheduled to be replaced in the near future. Because of the obvious presence of roots just below the surface of the existing sidewalks, measures would have to be taken during installation of the new sidewalks to make room for the required thickness of the new slabs and to prevent the roots currently causing the uplift from cracking the new sections in the very near future. The only approach I’m aware of is pruning the roots below where the new sections will go. I recommend against this for two reasons. One, removing all the roots that could potentially damage sidewalks in the future, which when exposed would likely be determined to be many, would affect the health and longevity of these trees, and two, removing such large roots so close to the tree (referred to as anchoring roots) would increase the potential for root crown failure of these trees. 3.2 Preferred Tree Replacement I understand that the hope is to replace the four trees with October glory maples. In my opinion, this species is much more appropriate for these locations both because it is not as fast-growing as sweet gums and also because its maximum spread is 25’-35’ versus that of 45’ for sweet gums. In addition, planting new trees now, at a time when street tree maintenance policies are more than likely more thorough and defined than when these sweet gums were planted, will address their growth through regular maintence. Packet Page 373 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 6 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC 4.0 Concerns and Recommendations 4.1 Concerns My main concern regards the lifted sidewalk sections and the tripping hazard they present. I’ve seen first hand photos of injuries caused by tripping over lifted sidewalks and depending upon the age and condition injured, the injuries can be considerable. Beyond the injuries, in the event that someone does trip and is injured and chooses to take the city to court, a legal suit over damages sustained can require the city to allocate considerable funds to the case whether or not the appellant is awarded charges. In my opinion, the liability is considerable and funds would be better spent in replacing the trees and repairing the sidewalks. The second concern is the potential for failure of one form or another of these trees. As previously discussed, the included bark that can develop between the co-dominant leaders can cause failure of one of them at anytime leaving a large wound which not only leaves the tree misshapen and unsightly (such as the westernmost tree in the northwest corner of the intersection), but also leaves the tree susceptible to the development of decay, affecting its health and structural integrity. 4.2 Recommendations Based upon the conditions of these trees, the damage they have caused to the sidewalks and the planned replacement of the sidewalks, I recommend the following: 1. These four trees should be removed and replaced with the proposed October glory maples; 2. Until the sidewalks are removed, they should be repaired as soon as possible by installing ramps, for lack of a better word, from the lower section to the uplifted portion simply as a means of eliminating the abrupt separation between each section. This will lessen the likelihood for a tripping incident to occur, and 3. If not already in place, the City of Edmonds should draft and institute a policy and plan for regularly inspecting and replacing street trees at either set intervals or when certain criteria are met. In my opinion, following such a policy would not only decrease the likelihood for sidewalk damage, but would also lessen the controversy when future removals are proposed. These recommendations are based upon my understanding of the conditions of the trees, the current site conditions, the estimated ages of the trees and my Packet Page 374 of 380 City of Edmonds RE: Tree Condition Evaluation and Sidewalk Damage Assessment September 10, 2009 Page 7 of 7 ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTING, LLC experiences with similar situations in the urban landscape and are made to both remove the hazards associated with these trees, to install species more appropriate for the situations and to institute measures aimed at preventing this situation from occurring in the future. 5.0 Use of This Report This report is provided to the City of Edmonds as a means of providing my opinion of the four trees of concern located at the northeast and northwest corners of the intersection of 5th and Dayton. The intention of this report is not to support any other opinion, but to present my findings on the conditions of the trees, the damage to the sidewalks, the potential for continued damage to occur and, perhaps most importantly, the trip hazard created by the lifting sidewalk sections. With that information, the intention of this report is also to make my recommendations for what is the best option to both mitigate the hazardous circumstances and provide for a visually aesthetic downtown environment. This report is based largely on readily observable conditions and, to a lesser extent, on readily ascertainable conditions. No attempt has been made to determine hidden or concealed conditions. Arboricultural Consulting, LLC cannot be held liable for any injuries related to tripping over the lifted sidewalk sections, or injuries or damage to property occurring during removal of the trees or in the event of their failure. Please contact me if you have need for my services in the future.
