On May 2, 2023, Staff and Transpo Group made a presentation on Multimodal Level of Service to the City Council. On March 14, 2023, staff presented the preliminary scope of work and fee with Transpo Group to complete the Transportation Plan Update. On February 13, 2024, staff presented an MMLOS update to the Parks and Public Works Committee. On February 27, 2024, staff presented an MMLOS update to City Council. On June 11, 2024, staff provided a presentation on the Transportation Plan Update. On September 10, 2024 staff provided a presentation on the Transportation Plan Update. Staff Recommendation Approve the removal of Multi-Use Path projects along minor arterial streets. Narrative The Transportation Plan is a mandatory element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The last update to the Transportation Plan was completed in 2015. The main objective of this Plan is to identify short and long-range strategies that lead to the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while addressing current and future transportation demand and land use. During the development of the draft Transportation Plan and project list, Multi-Use Path (MUP) projects were identified along State Routes (Hwy 99, SR-104, and SR-524) and on minor arterial streets throughout the City (such as 220th St. SW, 212th St. SW, 76th Ave. W, 244th St. SW, etc.). Most of the minor arterial streets where MUP projects were proposed already have existing bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the street. 2.2 Packet Pg. 31 The preliminary project list includes approximately 100 transportation projects. There are ten MUP projects, covering approximately ten miles of minor arterial streets, that have a total cost of approximately $160M. Staff recommends removing these MUP projects from the Plan due to the high cost and low probability of securing grants to build them. Projects where existing sidewalks and/or bike lanes are present would typically have lower scores compared to projects that are building or completing a multi-modal network. There are two MUP projects on arterial streets that remain on the preliminary project list: · MUP-01: Olympic View Dr. from 76th Ave. W to City Limits since there are no existing bike lanes along this segment and this addition is only possible with roadway widening (=> new sidewalk needed) and · MUP-13: 228th St. SW from Hwy 99 limits to the City limits since there are neither existing bike lanes nor sidewalks along this segment. Staff recommends keeping the proposed MUP projects on State Routes to align with the WSDOT policy to incorporate the principles of complete streets in the design and construction of projects on State Routes. The policy was in response to legislation (ESSB 5974) approved in 2022. The policy supports complete streets and the goal is to provide access for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation users, on projects constructed on State Highways. Both recommendations are supported by the Transportation Committee and the North Sound Bike Advocacy Group. Eliminating the MUP projects on minor arterial streets will reduce the number of proposed projects to 88 and lower the total project cost by $160M (refer to attachment 3 for the preliminary list of projects).
