Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update City Council Committee Meetings Date:05/12/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:15 Minutes Department:Engineering Type:Information Committee: Information Subject Title Briefing on Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff N/A Previous Council Action On February 19, 2008, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a Professional Services Agreement with Jones & Stokes for the update of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. On June 3, 3008, the consultant and Staff presented an update to Council on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Narrative 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 done in 2002. The plan lists existing transportation conditions for all users (drivers, pedestrians, bikers and transit users) as well as the possible improvements to these conditions. The main objective of the Comprehensive 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 consultant, ICF Jones and Stokes, and City staff have been working on the update over the last year. The plan is scheduled for City Council final adoption in July 2009. Citizen feedback on the plan has been obtained at two open houses, with a final one scheduled in late May for final comments. Staff and the consultant will provide a summary of the plan and a proposed funding schedule for future transportation improvements, including updated traffic impact fees. The plan also identifies the City's shortfall in transportation funding and potential sources of new revenue.

Introduction The purpose of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (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. 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]. 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 conditions. It also 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 purpose of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan are as follows: ƒ Address the total transportation needs of the city through 2025. ƒ Identify transportation improvements necessary to provide a system that will function safely and efficiently through the year 2025. ƒ Ensure consistency with the land use adopted in the adopted 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Packet Page 23 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-2 ƒ Contribute to economic growth within the city. ƒ Provide cost-effective accessibility for people, goods, and services. ƒ Provide travel alternatives that are safe and have convenient access to employment, education, and recreational opportunities for urban and suburban residents in the area. ƒ Identify funding needs for identified transportation improvements and the appropriate participation by both the public and private sectors of the local economy. ƒ Comply with the requirements of the GMA and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). ƒ Support 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: ƒ City 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. ƒ City 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. ƒ Snohomish County Buildable Lands Report. 2008. Identifies where capacity exists to accommodate future planned land use within cities and unincorporated areas located within Snohomish County. ƒ City of Edmonds Community Development Code. December 1980, as amended. Provides City zoning and other land use regulations. ƒ SR 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. ƒ City of Edmonds Walkway Comprehensive Plan. 2002. Evaluates existing sidewalks and pedestrian facilities throughout the City and proposes comprehensive improvements to the walkway system. ƒ City of Edmonds Bikeway Comprehensive Plan. 2000. Evaluates existing bikeways throughout the City, and proposes comprehensive improvements to the bikeway system. ƒ Olympic 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. Packet Page 24 of 314 Introduction May 2009 1-3 Land Use Review The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code 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, 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. Land Use Summary Analysis Year Land Use Type Unit Existing (2008) 2015 2025 Single Family Dwelling Units 12,537 13,028 13,723 Multi-Family Dwelling Units 6,742 7,636 8,914 Retail Jobs 2,507 2,751 3,113 Finance, Insurance, Real Estate Jobs 1,191 1,252 1,337 Services Jobs 6,215 6,648 7,265 Wholesale, Transportation, Utilities Jobs 32 34 39 Manufacturing Jobs 69 75 84 Construction Jobs 49 51 57 Government Jobs 29 31 35 Education Students 5,755 6,159 6,733 Park Acres 202 202 202 Marina Slips 668 668 668 Park-and-Ride Spaces 484 484 484 Regulatory Framework Growth Management Act Transportation planning at the state, county and local levels is governed by the GMA, which contains requirements for the preparation of the Transportation Element of a Comprehensive Packet Page 25 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-4 Plan. In addition to requiring consistency with the Land Use Element, the GMA requires that the following components be included in transportation elements: ƒ Inventory of facilities by mode of transport; ƒ Level of service assessment to aid in determining the existing and future operating conditions of the facilities; ƒ Proposed actions to bring these deficient facilities into compliance; ƒ Traffic forecasts, based upon planned future land use; ƒ Identification of infrastructure needs to meet current and future demands; ƒ Funding analysis for needed improvements, as well as possible additional funding sources; ƒ Identification of intergovernmental coordination efforts; and ƒ Identification 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 4. Mobility 5. Environmental Quality and Health Packet Page 26 of 314 Introduction May 2009 1-5 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, adopted by PSRC’s General Assembly in 2008, is the regional strategy for managing growth, the economy, and transportation in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. VISION 2040 addresses eight topics: urban growth areas; contiguous and orderly development; regional capital facilities; housing; rural areas; open space, resource protection and critical areas; economics; and transportation. Together, these eight parts constitute the policies for the four-county region, and meet the multi-county planning requirements of the GMA (RCW 36.70A). VISION 2040 seeks to contain the region’s projected growth within urban areas, creating compact urban communities and vibrant centers of activity. 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. 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 Packet Page 27 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-6 and respond to the recently updated regional growth strategy, VISION 2040. The plan is expected to be adopted in 2010 (PSRC 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 (PSRC 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: • Policies to implement urban growth areas; • Policies for the promotion of contiguous and orderly development and provision of urban services; • Policies for rural land use; • Policies for housing; • Policies for the siting of public capital facilities of a countywide or statewide nature; • Policies for economic development and employment; • Fiscal impact analysis; • 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 28 of 314 Introduction May 2009 1-7 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: ƒ To serve as the basis for municipal policy on development and to provide guiding principles and objectives for the development of regulations. ƒ To promote the public health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and the general welfare and values of the community. ƒ To 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. ƒ To encourage coordinated development and discourage piecemeal, spot or strip zoning and inharmonious subdividing. ƒ To 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 Packet Page 29 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-8 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 30 of 314 Introduction May 2009 1-9 Intergovernmental Coordination 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. [Description of third open house, at which time the community will be invited to review and comment on the draft recommended Comprehensive Transportation Plan, is reserved] 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 as they identified project priorities and viable funding sources, and finalized the Transportation Plan. A third and final open house is planned for summer 2009 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 31 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-10 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: ƒ Monitor and make recommendations relative to motorized and non-motorized transportation issues, systems and funding; ƒ Contribute input to updates of the City Comprehensive Transportation Plan and monitor the efforts to implement the improvements detailed in the Plan; and ƒ Enhance 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. Packet Page 32 of 314 Introduction May 2009 1-11 Overview of the Transportation Plan Elements This Comprehensive Transportation Plan includes the following elements: ƒ Chapter 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. ƒ Chapter 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. ƒ Chapter 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. ƒ Chapter 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. ƒ Chapter 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 33 of 314 Packet Page 34 of 314 May 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 Transportation Advisory Committee. Goals, objectives and policies are defined under the following major categories: ƒ State and Regional Context ƒ Streets and Highways ƒ Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation ƒ Public Transportation ƒ Streetscape ƒ Capital Facilities ƒ Traffic Calming ƒ Air 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 35 of 314 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 Edmonds Comprehensive Plan (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 36 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 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: ƒ Meet transportation service needs; ƒ Link local transportation networks with regional, state and national transportation systems; ƒ Increase use of public transit and non-motorized transportation; ƒ Reduce congestion; ƒ Reduce energy consumption; ƒ Provide 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 37 of 314 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 38 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 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 39 of 314 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 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 without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is not provided; d. Arterial roadways with shoulders too narrow or in or poor walking condition for pedestrians; e. Arterial roadways with adequate shoulders for pedestrians but without sidewalks; and f. The remainder of the arterial roadway system (e.g. roads with sidewalks along one side, or roads with sidewalks in disrepair). Policy 4.3 Design streets to accommodate emergency service vehicles. Policy 4.4 Coordinate traffic signals located within ½ mile of each other to decrease delay and improve operations. Packet Page 40 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-7 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 41 of 314 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. Safe walkways must be an integral part of the City’s street and recreation plans to encourage and promote walking for both transportation and recreational purposes. Policy 6.1 Construct pedestrian facilities on all streets and highways; interconnecting with other modes of transportation. Policy 6.2 Design sidewalks for use by people at all mobility levels. Sidewalks and curb cuts should meet the requirements of the ADA. Policy 6.3 Construct sidewalks with durable materials. Policy 6.4 Construct sidewalks in an ecologically friendly manner, encouraging the use of pervious paving materials where feasible. Policy 6.5 Locate sidewalk amenities, including but not limited to poles, benches, planters, trashcans, bike racks, and awnings, so as to not obstruct non- motorized traffic or transit access. 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 City’s Urban Design Plan and Street Tree Plan. Provide landscaped buffers between the curb and sidewalk, where appropriate, with adequate levels of illumination and low water Packet Page 42 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-9 requirements. The landscape buffers must not obstruct minimum sight distances. Policy 6.14 Require all development to provide sidewalks 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 Edmonds Community Development Code. 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: 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 7.1 Seek opportunities to improve safety for those who bicycle in the city. Policy 7.2 Place highest priority for improvements to bicycle facilities near schools, commercial districts, and transit facilities. Policy 7.3 Provide connections to bicycle facilities in adjacent jurisdictions. Policy 7.4 Provide bicycle lanes on arterial streets, where feasible, to encourage the use of bicycles for transportation and recreation purposes. Policy 7.5 Identify bicycle routes through signage. Policy 7.6 Provide bicycle racks or bicycle lockers in commercial, school, and recreational areas. Policy 7.7 Ensure that existing public bicycle facilities are maintained, and upgraded when feasible. Packet Page 43 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-10 15.25.030 Public Transportation A. General. The City is well served by public transportation providers including Community Transit, Sound Transit, Amtrak, Washington State Ferries and the Edmonds School District. Transportation options include bus, van, ferry, and rail. Public transportation provides a range of benefits for our community: ƒ Primary mobility for those who cannot drive, including many of our youth, seniors, and citizens with disabilities ƒ Mobility options for people who choose not to drive – either to avoid congestion, save money, or support the environment ƒ Preserves the quality of our environment by conserving energy, supporting better air quality, and reducing congestion on our roadways Community Transit is the primary public transit provider in Edmonds, offering local and commuter bus services, specialized door-to-door transportation for persons with disabilities, commuter vanpools, carpool matching, park-and-ride lots, transportation consulting for employers, training programs for youth, seniors and persons with disabilities, and overall customer assistance. Sound Transit (Commuter Rail Station) provides rail and bus service between Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma. King County Metro does not provide local service within the city, but connections are available between Community Transit and Metro routes at the Aurora Village Transit Center. Additionally, the Washington State Ferry system provides ferry service between Edmonds and the City of Kingston on the Olympic Peninsula; and Amtrak provides intercity rail service. The Edmonds School District provides bus service to schools. Additionally, some school bus service is provided by Community Transit. The location of the city along Puget Sound with the convergence of the state ferry terminal, passenger rail service, a highway of statewide significance SR 104, bus service, and a pedestrian and bicycle network, offers unique opportunities for coordinated service as the hub of a public transportation network. The potential for multi-modal transportation facilities should continue to be examined and evaluated. B. Goal VIII: The public transportation system should provide alternatives for transportation that enable all persons to have reasonable access to locations of employment, health care, education, and community business and recreational facilities. Goal IX: Enhance the movement of people, services and goods. Transportation system improvements should encourage the use of travel alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle. C. Objective 8: Operations. Enhance public transit options and operations to provide alternatives to the automobile and as a means of reducing air pollution, conserving energy, and relieving traffic congestion in accordance with the following policies: Packet Page 44 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-11 Policy 8.1 Work with transit providers to ensure that transit service within the city is: a. Convenient and flexible to meet community needs; b. Dependable, affordable, and maintains regular schedules; c. Provides adequate service during evening hours, weekends, and holidays; and d. Comfortable and safe for all users. Policy 8.2 Work with transit providers to ensure that public transit is accessible within reasonable distance of any address in the system area. A desirable maximum distance is 0.25 mile. Policy 8.3 Work with transit providers to serve designated activity centers with appropriate levels of transit service. Transit stops should be properly located throughout the activity center, and designed to serve local commuting and activity patterns, and significant concentrations of employment. Policy 8.4 Design new development and redevelopment in activity centers to provide pedestrian access to transit. Policy 8.5 Works with transit providers to coordinate public transit with school district transportation systems to provide transportation for school children. Policy 8.6 Integrate existing ferry terminal, urban design and feasibility studies into the City planning process for the planned relocation of the ferry dock to serve future transportation needs while maintaining the community’s character. Policy 8.7 Coordinate and link ferry, rail, bus, auto, and non-motorized travel to form a multi-modal system providing access to regional transportation systems while ensuring the quality, safety, and integrity of local commercial districts and residential neighborhoods. Policy 8.8 Develop a multi-modal transportation center along the downtown/waterfront of the city that is the focal point for increasing the capacity, interconnectivity, and efficiency of moving people and goods along state and interstate highway routes, intercity passenger and commuter railroad systems, public transit system, and local and regional bikeways and bike routes. Policy 8.9 Locate and design a multi-modal transportation center and terminal to serve the city’s needs with the following elements: Packet Page 45 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-12 ƒ A ferry terminal that meets the operational requirements to accommodate forecast ridership demand and that provides proper separation of automobile, bicycle and walk-on passenger loading; ƒ A train station that meets intercity passenger service and commuter rail loading requirements, and provides the requisite amenities such as waiting areas, storage and bicycle lockers; ƒ A transit center that meets the local and regional transit system requirements; ƒ A linkage between stations/terminals that meets the operational and safety requirements of each mode, including a link between the multi-modal station terminal to the business/commerce center in downtown Edmonds; ƒ Safety features that include better separation between train traffic and other modes of travel, particularly vehicle and passenger ferry traffic as well as the general public. Policy 8.10 Encourage joint public/private efforts to participate in transportation demand management and traffic reduction strategies. Policy 8.11 Work with other government agencies that cause additional transportation impacts or costs to the City, so that the agencies mitigate the impacts and/or defray the costs. Policy 8.12 Explore future funding for a city-based circulator bus, to provide an additional transportation option for seniors and the disabled. Objective 9: Coordination. Coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions, state and regional transportation agencies, Community Transit, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Washington State Ferries, and Amtrak in the development and location of transportation facilities. Policy 9.1 Participate in local and regional forums to coordinate strategies and programs that further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.

Policy 9.3 Encourage public transportation providers within the city to coordinate services to ensure the most effective transportation system possible. Policy 9.4 Coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions and regional and state agencies to encourage their support of the City’s policies and planning processes. Policy 9.5 Participate on the boards of Community Transit and other public transit providers, and regularly share citizen and business comments regarding transit services to the appropriate provider. Packet Page 46 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-13 Objective 10: Access. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian access to bus stops, and inter-modal transfer locations, the rail station, and the ferry terminal. Policy 10.1 Place priority on coordinating bus routes and bus stop sites in City plans for street lighting improvements. Policy 10.2 Place priority on corridors served by transit for sidewalk improvements, especially in locations that connect neighborhoods, parks, schools and businesses to bus stops. Sidewalks should also be a priority on connecting roads within 0.25 mile of a transit corridor. Policy 10.3 Include boarding pads at bus stop sites as part of sidewalk construction projects, to allow for shelters. Policy 10.4 Work with Community Transit to provide additional passenger shelters and benches at bus stops sites within Edmonds. Objective 11: Roadway Infrastructure. Provide a roadway network that supports the provision of public transportation within the city. Policy 11.1 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 11.2 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 Urban Design Study and Edmonds Street Tree Plan shall guide the development of these design standards, which need to also recognize the unique neighborhood characteristics. C. Objective 12: Design Standards. Develop design standards that result in an attractive street system consistent with the character of the city. Policy 12.1 Crosswalks should be eight feet wide. Policy 12.2 Streetlights should be the main light source for public streets, with the following minimum standards: Packet Page 47 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-14 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 Urban Design Study. Policy 12.3 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. 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 13: Inventory. Identify and define the transportation facilities in the city. Policy 13.1 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 14: 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. Packet Page 48 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-15 Policy 14.1 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 14.2 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 14.3 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 – see below); Collectors: LOS C or better; and Local streets: LOS B or better. State Routes SR 99 north of SR 104: LOS E or better; SR 524: LOS D or better. Policy 14.4 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 14.5 Use LOS standards to (1) determine the need for transportation facilities, and (2) test the adequacy of such facilities to serve proposed 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 14.6 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 14.7 Work toward development of a multi-modal LOS standard that considers transit and non-motorized operations as well as automobile operations. Packet Page 49 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-16 Objective 15: 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 15.1 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 15.2 Maximize efficiencies of existing transportation facilities, using techniques such as: ƒ Transportation Demand Management ƒ Encouraging development to use existing facilities ƒ Other methods of improved efficiency. Policy 15.3 Provide additional transportation facility capacity when existing facilities are used to their maximum level of efficiency consistent with adopted LOS standards. Policy 15.4 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 15.5 Work with Community Transit to encourage ridesharing at employment centers. Objective 16: Coordination. Coordinate transportation planning and programming with state, regional, county, and local agencies Policy 16.1 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 16.2 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. Packet Page 50 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-17 Objective 17: Financing. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are financially feasible. Policy 17.1 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 17.2 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 level-of-service standards and forecasted growth, the City should explore one or more of the following options: ƒ Lower the LOS standard ƒ Change the Land Use Plan ƒ Increase the amount of revenue from existing sources ƒ Adopt new sources of revenue Policy 17.3 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 17.4 Seek to balance funding to support multimodal solutions to transportation needs. Objective 18: Revenue. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are fully funded. Policy 18.1 Match revenue sources to transportation improvements on the basis of sound fiscal policies. Policy 18.2 Revise the TIP in the event that revenue sources for transportation improvements, which require voter approval in a local referendum, are not approved. Policy 18.3 Ensure that ongoing operating and maintenance costs associated with a transportation facility are financially feasible prior to constructing the facility. Objective 19: Concurrency. Ensure existing and future development pays for the costs of needed transportation improvements. Policy 19.1 Ensure that existing development pays for transportation improvements that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies, and pays for some or all of Packet Page 51 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-18 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 19.2 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 20: Partnerships. Seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens to the City due to the location of essential transportation facilities. Policy 20.1 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 20.2 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 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 21: 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 21.1 Use a formal written procedure for traffic calming requests, and an acknowledgement procedure for receipt of request. Packet Page 52 of 314 Goals, Objectives, and Policies May 2009 2-19 Policy 21.2 Use field investigation procedures that include short-term solutions. Policy 21.3 Use neighborhood speed watch program. Policy 21.4 Publicize the formal procedure for traffic calming requests (Policy 21.1) and neighborhood speed watch program (Policy 21.3). Policy 21.5 Use permanent traffic calming request procedures and evaluation procedures. Policy 21.6 Use permanent traffic calming design criteria. Policy 21.7 Use a permanent traffic calming authorization procedure. Policy 21.8 Use a permanent traffic calming implementation procedure. Policy 21.9 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 draft “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. 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 22.1 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. Packet Page 53 of 314 Packet Page 54 of 314 May 2009 3-1 Chapter 3. 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 Definition and Existing City 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: ƒ Traveler accesses roadway system from origin (access), ƒ Traveler travels through roadway system (mobility), and ƒ Traveler accesses destination from roadway system (access). The different types of roads that serve these functions are classified as follows. ƒ Freeway – 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. ƒ Principal 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 55 of 314 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. ƒ Minor 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. ƒ Collector – 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. ƒ Local 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 adopted by the City. Packet Page 56 of 314 City of Edmonds Comprehensive Transportation Plan May 2009 Figure 3-1.

Source: Federal Highway Administration 1989. Consistency with Federal Functional Classifications 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. The primary reason that the two systems should be consistent is that federal funds may only be spent on federally classified routes. Allocation of funds, as well as application of local agency design standards, is based on the federal classification. Table 3-2 compares the existing City classifications with federal classifications for city roads. The table shows that six roads have City classifications that are higher than the federal classifications; and nine roads have City classifications that are lower than federal classifications.

Thus, the City should apply to the FHWA to revise the federal classifications, so that they are consistent with the City classifications. To implement these recommendations, the City must do the following: ƒ Adopt upgrade of 80th Avenue W / 180th Street SW from collector to minor arterial in the City functional classification system. ƒ Apply for the following federal functional classification changes to minor arterial: - 220th Street, 9th Avenue S – SR 99 (upgrade from collector) - 76th Avenue W, 244th Street SW – 212th Street SW (upgrade from collector) - SR 524, Main Street – 76th Avenue W (downgrade from principal arterial) ƒ Apply for the following federal functional classification changes to collector: - Dayton Street, 5th Avenue S – 9th Avenue S (upgrade from local access) - 200th Street SW, 5th Avenue S – 9th Avenue S (upgrade from local access) - 7th Avenue N, Main Street – Caspers Street (upgrade from local access) - 80th Avenue W / 180th Street SW, 200th Street – Olympic View Drive (upgrade from local access) - 3rd Avenue S, Pine Street – Main Street (downgrade from principal arterial) - 228th Street SW, 95th Place W – east city limits (downgrade from minor arterial) ƒ Apply for the following federal functional classification downgrades from collector to local access for the following six road segments: - 226th Street SW, 108th Avenue W – Edmonds Way - Admiral Way, south of W Dayton Street - Olympic Avenue, Puget Drive – Olympic View Drive - 3rd Avenue S, Elm Street – Pine Street - 73rd Place W / 226th Place W, 228th Street SW – East City Limits - 84th Avenue W, 240th Street SW – 238th Street SW Evaluation of Road Functional Classifications Over time, changes in traffic volumes and shifts in 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. Packet Page 61 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-8 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 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. Packet Page 62 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-9 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. Based upon these guidelines, the City’s current functional classification system adequately reflects the relative access and mobility functions of the city street system. Packet Page 63 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-10 Street System Inventory State Highways There are three Washington state routes located within the city. ƒ SR 104 (Edmonds Way) runs roughly east-west between the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry dock and I-5. ƒ SR 524 (Puget Drive/196th Street SW) runs east-west connecting SR 104 to SR 99, I-5, and ultimately SR 522. ƒ SR 99 runs north-south on the east side of the city, and is the highest traffic-carrying arterial in Edmonds. 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. (Washington State Transportation Commission 2006) City Streets The city street system is comprised of a grid of principal arterials, minor arterials, collectors, and local streets. Table 3-3 summarizes the city roadways currently classified as principal arterial, minor arterial, or collector. The table shows the existing functional classification, speed limit, number of lanes, and recommended functional classification for each of the roadways. Table 3-3.

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: ƒ Bulb-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. ƒ Chicane – 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. ƒ Partial 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. ƒ Raised pavement markers – 4-inch 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. ƒ Speed 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. ƒ Traffic 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 3-4 summarizes traffic calming devices located throughout the city. Figure 3-5 shows the locations of these traffic calming devices. Packet Page 70 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-17 Table 3-4.

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 unloading parking. 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 3-6 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). 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. The City has adopted street standards covering local access streets (City Edmonds, Street Standards #E74. 2001). Standard details are provided for the following streets: • Residential access (1-2 lots) • Residential access (3-4 lots) • Residential access (5-9 lots) • Multi-family/business/commercial access • Residential/commercial access (10-15 lots or units) Table 3-5 summarizes and typical guidelines applied to the design of different types of roads in Edmonds.

Packet Page 76 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-23 Road Conditions Existing Operating Conditions Traffic volumes Daily traffic counts and PM peak hour traffic counts were taken at numerous locations throughout the city in April 2008. 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 3-6 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 3-6. 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 77 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-24 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 3-7 summarizes the LOS criteria for signalized 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 3-7. 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 78 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-25 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 3-7) 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 3-8 shows the City LOS standards. Table 3-8. Level of Service Standards Facility Standard City Streets Arterials: LOS D or better (except State Routes – see below); Collectors: LOS C or better; and Local streets: LOS B or better. State Routes1 SR 99 north of SR 104: LOS E or better; SR 524: LOS D or better. 1. State routes designated as Highways of Statewide Significance are not subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined for these facilities. However, to monitor operations on Highways of Statewide Significance (SR 104, and SR 99 south of SR 104), the City identifies existing or potential future deficiencies if LOS E 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 6 years of development use. Packet Page 79 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-26 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. Existing Level of Service Table 3-9 presents existing PM peak hour LOS for 24 intersections throughout the city. Existing intersection LOS is also shown in Figure 3-8. The analysis indicates that the following four stop- controlled intersections are currently operating below the City’s adopted LOS standard: ƒ Puget Drive and 88th Avenue W ƒ 212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ Main Street and 9th Avenue N ƒ Walnut 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: ƒ Transportation network and zone development ƒ Existing land use inventory ƒ Trip generation ƒ Trip distribution ƒ Network assignment ƒ Model calibration ƒ Model 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 3-9 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 3-9.

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: ƒ Home-based-work, or any trip with home as one end and work as the other end; ƒ Home-based-other, or any non-work trip with home as one end; ƒ Non-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 85 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-32 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 3-10 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 3-10. 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: ƒ Olympic View Drive and 76th Avenue W ƒ Puget Drive and 88th Avenue W (deficient under existing conditions) ƒ Caspers Street and 9th Avenue N ƒ 212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W ƒ 212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ Main Street and 9th Avenue N ƒ Walnut Street and 9th Avenue S ƒ 220th 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. As it is located along a Highway of Statewide Significance, this intersection 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 it.

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 3-12 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 3-12. 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): ƒ 220th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ Main Street and 3rd Avenue ƒ 244th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ 238th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ 76th Avenue W and SR 99 ƒ 212th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ SR 104 and 100th Avenue W ƒ 220th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ 216th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ 212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W Packet Page 92 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-39 The intersection of 220th Street SW and 84th Avenue W was recently reconstructed with traffic signal. The collision rate is expected to be reduced at the intersection since the improvement. At the other locations, safety improvement projects may be considered. In addition, 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: ƒ SR 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, and sidewalk). Install traffic signal at 228th Street SW and SR 99. Install median on SR 99 to prohibit left turn movements at 76th Avenue W. ƒ SR 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. ƒ Cut-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. ƒ Speeding 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 95 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-42 Recommended Road Projects and Programs Capital Improvement Projects Proposed improvements are presented in Table 3-13, and illustrated in Figure 3-13. 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: ƒ 238th Street SW / Edmonds Way ƒ 244th 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 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. ƒ SR 99 / 228th Street SW / 76th Avenue W ƒ SR 99 / 216th Street SW Improvements are also recommended on the following streets to improve the vehicle and pedestrian safety. ƒ 238th Street SW, between Edmonds Way and 84th Avenue W ƒ 84th Avenue W, between 212th Street S and 238th Street SW ƒ SR 99 illumination Packet Page 96 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-43 ƒ Main Street and 3rd Avenue Table 3-13.

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: ƒ Reduce the use of residential streets for cut-through traffic, and ƒ Reduce 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 106 of 314 Street System May 2009 3-53 Maintenance of the City’s transportation infrastructure is provided primarily by the City’s Public Works Department. Activities include the following. ƒ Annual 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 (see Chapter 4 for a more detailed discussion), and may include delineating bike lanes and other bike route improvements. 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. ƒ Citywide 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. ƒ Citywide 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. ƒ Citywide 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. ƒ The 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 107 of 314 Packet Page 108 of 314 May 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: ƒ Goal: Improve non-motorized transportation facilities and services. ƒ Objective: 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. ƒ Objective: 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 109 of 314 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: ƒ Separate pedestrians from vehicular traffic, especially in high traffic areas? ƒ Improve width of walkway and surface conditions? ƒ Address 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. 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 Packet Page 116 of 314 Non-Motorized System May 2009 4-9 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.

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: ƒ Goal 1: To promote more bicycling activity ƒ Goal 2: To provide safer opportunities for those who bicycle in Edmonds Packet Page 119 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 4-12 ƒ Goal 3: To provide better service to recreational opportunities for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 4: To provide better service to schools for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 5: To provide better service to businesses for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 6: To provide better service to transit for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 7: To provide connections to bicycling opportunities in other jurisdictions ƒ Goal 8: To consider bicycle facilities and program in all appropriate City transportation programs and funding ƒ Goal 9: To provide enhanced parking facilities for those who bicycle, making the mode more convenient ƒ Goal 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. 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. ƒ The short bicycle loop has an easy level of difficulty and a distance of 5 miles. ƒ The 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. ƒ The 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. Packet Page 122 of 314 Non-Motorized System May 2009 4-15 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: ƒ The bicycle racks shall be as convenient as the majority of automobile parking spaces provided. ƒ All racks shall be securely anchored to the ground or building structures. ƒ Bicycle racks shall be in a visible location, close to the building entrances. ƒ Bicycle racks must be designed to accommodate U-shaped locks. (U-shaped locks are designed to allow the lock both wheels and the bicycle frame to a stationary object.) Figure 4-6 shows the proposed bicycle parking locations identified in the City’s Bikeway Plan.

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: ƒ Fixed bus route service ƒ Rideshare services ƒ Dial-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.

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 133 of 314 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 134 of 314 Transit and Transportation Demand Management May 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 135 of 314 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: ƒ Travelers switch from driving alone to high-occupancy vehicle modes such as transit, vanpools, or carpools. ƒ Travelers switch from driving to non-motorized modes such as bicycling or walking. ƒ Travelers change the time they make trips from more congested to less congested times of day. ƒ Travelers 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: ƒ Parking management; ƒ Trip reduction ordinances; ƒ Restricted access to facilities and activity centers; and ƒ Transit-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 136 of 314 Transit and Transportation Demand Management May 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. 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 Packet Page 137 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 5-12 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 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. 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. Packet Page 138 of 314 May 2009 6-1 Chapter 6. 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 $101,804,300.

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: • Urban Arterial Program (UAP) – best suited for roadway projects that improve safety and mobility. • Urban Corridor Program (UCP) – best suited for roadway projects with multiple funding partners that expand capacity. • Sidewalk Program (SP) – best suited for sidewalk projects that improve safety and connectivity. Packet Page 144 of 314 Implementation and Financial Plan May 2009 6-7 ƒ Traffic Impact / Mitigation Fees – Impact fees were recently instituted within the City and are paid by developers to mitigate the impacts on the transportation system. ƒ Real 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. ƒ Motor 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. ƒ General 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. ƒ Joint 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. ƒ General Obligation Bonds – These are bonds issued by the City that are financed through future anticipated tax revenues. 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 6,549,165 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 Agency 8,000,000 Interest Income 511,331 Development Sidewalks 23,021 Miscellaneous 193,306 TOTAL $37,215,610 1. Assumes joint funding with Snohomish County for the recommended 84th Avenue improvement. 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 $64,588,690. Packet Page 145 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-8 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: ƒ Transportation 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; a citywide vehicle license fee of up to $20 per license year can be passed with Council approval, and is not subject to voter approval. The legislation allows additional vehicle license fees up to a total of $100 per license per year can be enacted, but only with voter approval. Property tax and sales tax options are also allowed under the legislation, but are also subject to voter approval. The City has already enacted the $20 per year vehicle license fee, which is slated to fund City operations. Thus, any additional TBD funding 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. ƒ Business 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. ƒ Local 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. Packet Page 146 of 314 Implementation and Financial Plan May 2009 6-9 ƒ Additional 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 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. 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 Business license fee for transportation at $93.74 per employee per year2 17,998,080 Local Improvement District / Roadway Improvement District3 ------ Additional grants4 ------ $64,590,080 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 other 2. Assumes 12,000 employees for 16 years. 3. 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. 4. Obtained through application process for specific projects. Any funding obtained through additional grants would lower the fees needed from the other optional sources 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. 2. 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 Packet Page 147 of 314 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-10 approved. Thus, concurrency projects must be implemented to support planned land use identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. 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. 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 evaluation of future conditions that result from the City’s adopted future land use plan, and priorities stated by Edmonds citizens.

If preservation and maintenance were 50% funded, meaning that they would be planned on a 40-year cycle instead of a 20-year cycle, projected revenue would cover project funding down to the point indicated by the lines shown. Even in this case, projected revenue would not fully fund projects required to maintain concurrency under current adopted standards. Interjurisdictional Coordination The City will coordinate with the following agencies to implement projects and strategies presented in this Transportation Plan: ƒ Revise the federal functional classification of some city streets to be consistent with the City’s adopted functional classifications. ƒ Coordinate with WSDOT on projects to address future operational deficiencies on SR 104. ƒ Coordinate with Snohomish County for joint agency funding of the proposed 84th Avenue improvement. ƒ If a higher funding level of TBD is put forward and approved by voters, coordinate with PSRC to include projects in the regional transportation plan so that they will be eligible for funding. ƒ Coordinate with WSDOT and the FHWA to move forward with the Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Project. ƒ Coordinate with Community Transit to implement transit investments that are consistent with the City’s priorities; including construction of additional bus shelters and benches, and new transit routes. Packet Page 150 of 314 Implementation and Financial Plan May 2009 6-13 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: ƒ Change the LOS standard, and therefore reduce the need for road capacity improvement projects. ƒ Increase the amount of revenue from existing sources. ƒ Find new sources of revenue which could include additional federal and state grants, additional TBD funding, business license fee for transportation, and/or LID/RIDs. ƒ Require developers to provide such facilities at their own expense. ƒ Change 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.

This neighborhood traffic calming program is designed to assist residents and 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, the City’s traffic calming program focuses on local access streets. The City’s 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 the less restrictive solutions are not effective, 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 175 of 314 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 (most local streets in Edmonds are 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 Packet Page 177 of 314 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 Request 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 and vehicle speed, 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 has 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. Qualification 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: Packet Page 178 of 314  The average daily traffic volume on the subject street must be between 500 and 1,000 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 or greater than 15 vehicles per hour.  If the traffic concern is related to speeding, the daily 85th percentile speed (the speed that 85% of the cars are traveling at or below) is 5 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 179 of 314 Exhibit B.

Packet Page 181 of 314 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 Table 1 provides 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 10 mph or less but above 5 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 10 mph over 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 184 of 314 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 185 of 314  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 186 of 314 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 187 of 314 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, six 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.

Proposal to Ban Single Use Plastic Checkout Bags in Edmonds City Council Committee Meetings Date:05/12/2009 Submitted By:Jana Spellman Submitted For:Councilmember Strom Peterson Time:20 Minutes Department:City Council Type:Information Committee:Community/Development Services Information Subject Title Discussion on proposal to ban single use plastic checkout bags in Edmonds. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Previous Council Action During the April 7, 2009 Council Meeting, the Council considered the possibility of banning plastic bags in retail, commercial outlets in Edmonds and reviewed a Resolution submitted by Councilmember Strom Peterson for discussion. Following review and discussion, Councilmember Peterson moved, seconded by Council President Wilson, to adopt the resolution. Council President Wilson moved, seconded by Councilmember Wambolt, to amend the "Resolved" paragraph of the resolution to read: Now therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Edmonds directs staff to prepare an ordinance banning the use of single-use plastic checkout bags and encouraging the use of reusable shopping bags for future Council and community consideration." The amendment passed unanimously. The vote on the main motion as amended passed unanimously. The Council referred this issue to the Community/Development Services Committee for review. Attachment 1: 4/7/2009 Council Meeting Minutes. The Community/Development Services Committee met on April 14, 2009. During that meeting, Bio Park from the City Attorney’s office was present for the discussion. Bio informed the Committee that the City Attorney’s office is conducting research on how other cities have approached adopting and implementing a ban on plastic bags. The intent is to develop options for Edmonds to consider based on this research, including examples of “unintended consequences” that other jurisdictions may have experienced. Options discussed by the Committee to consider would be a broad ban on plastic bags as well as a narrowly tailored ban targeting such businesses as groceries and retailers. Pros and cons for each potential ban option should be presented and discussed. ACTION: City Attorney’s office to develop options for a ban on plastic bags and present these for discussion by the Committee at its next meeting in May. Packet Page 215 of 314 discussion by the Committee at its next meeting in May. Attachment 2: 4/14/2009 CS/DS Committee Meeting Minutes Council President Wilson put this item on the April 28 Council agenda to give the public a chance to comment on the ordinance regarding plastic bags that is coming before the Council in May, 2009. Attachment 3: 4/28/2009 Council Minutes Narrative This has item has been placed back on the CS/DS Committee for continued discussion. Bio Park with the City Attorney's Office prepared a memorandum and three versions of a draft ordinance for the Committee's consideration.

Park RE: Drafts of Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance As requested by the Committee, attached are different drafts of the Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance. Three different drafts have been prepared for your consideration: 1. The “Retail” draft requires checkout bags to be recyclable paper bags or reusable bags at all commercial retail establishments, such as groceries, supermarkets, drugstores, restaurants, clothing stores, bookstores, hardware stores, etc. 2. The “Groceries” draft requires checkout bags to be recyclable paper bags or reusable bags at any commercial business facility, falling under NAICS code 445110 or 446110, engaged in the sale of a combination of dry grocery, canned goods, perishable food, drinks, produce, and/or meat to consumers for ultimate consumption. Such establishment includes groceries, supermarkets, delicatessens, and other food stores, excluding restaurants. 3. The “Hybrid” draft requires checkout bags to be recyclable paper bags or reusable bags at supermarkets. Supermarkets are defined as self-service store, falling under NAICS code 445110 (grocery store) or 446110 (drugstore), within the City of Edmonds with gross annual sales of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or more which sells a combination of lines of dry grocery, canned goods, perishable food, drinks, produce, meat and/or nonfood items. At all other retail stores offering plastic checkout bags, customers must have an option for paper checkout bags. Packet Page 225 of 314 Community/Development Services Committee May 8, 2009 Page 2 {BFP728049.DOC;1/00006.900000/} Because the Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance may have undesired effects not considered by Council prior to adoption, the drafts include opportunity for establishments that would suffer undue hardship or deprivation of protected rights to petition the Mayor for an exemption up to one year. During such time, the Council would have the chance to consider and determine whether a permanent exception (as an amendment to the code) is warranted. The Mayor will also be delegated the duty to determined which department of the City will be charged with enforcement. Enforcement would be carried out through the issuance of civil infractions. A violation would constitute a Class I civil infraction with penalties of $100 for the first violation, and $250 for each violation thereafter. The infractions, if contested, would be adjudicated before the Municipal Court. Finally, the drafts provide a “comply by” date, which may be different (later) than the effective date of the ordinance to allow ample time for business to anticipate and prepare for compliance. The drafts merely constitute a sample of what other jurisdictions have adopted to reduce use of plastic checkout bags. Almost no restriction or condition proposed under the Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance is preempted by or regulated under state or federal law. As a result, most of the criteria therein may be modified/tailored to accomplish the Council’s desired outcome.

WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds (the “City”) has a duty to protect the natural environment, the economy and the health of its citizens; and WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council unanimously agreed to promote and develop a sustainability agenda at its February 2009 retreat; and WHEREAS, a ban on single-use plastic checkout bags was unanimously included within the sustainability agenda; and WHEREAS, the use of single-use plastic checkout bags have been banned in cities and countries around the world, including the Republic of Ireland, which has achieved a 90% decrease in shopping bag usage; and WHEREAS, single use plastic checkout bags have significant environmental impacts each year; and WHEREAS, the post-consumer environmental effects of single-use plastic checkout bags are detrimental to marine life, wildlife, and public health; and WHEREAS, Edmonds residents use an estimated eight million (8,000,000) single-use plastic checkout bags in a single year; and {BFP728024.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 1 - Packet Page 227 of 314 WHEREAS, the goal is to encourage the use of reusable shopping bags; and WHEREAS, the use of single-use plastic checkout bags has increased dramatically in recent years and many of these bags litter the landscape and contaminate creeks, bays, and oceans; and WHEREAS, the Pacific Ocean contains a huge accumulation of plastic debris whose density is estimated by some scientists to be as great as one million pieces of plastic per square mile; and WHEREAS, the land-based debris of the City, including litter (mostly bags, packaging and single-use disposable products) is conveyed through storm drains to local creeks, into Puget Sound, and into the Pacific Ocean, where the plastic debris does not completely biodegrade in the marine environment as paper does but instead breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, absorbing toxins and forming high toxin concentrations, which in turn harm marine animals when the plastic debris is mistaken for food and ingested or when the marine animals become entangled in the plastic debris; and WHEREAS, single-use plastic checkout bags represent an unnecessary use of a nonrenewable resource and reusable bags represent a sustainable alternative to single-use bags of all types; and WHEREAS, recyclable paper bags degrade more rapidly and are therefore not as environmentally damaging as single-use plastic checkout bags; and WHEREAS, because paper bags are more successfully recycled than plastic bags due to plastic bag handling and sorting difficulties, diverting paper bags from landfill disposal is more attainable than it is for plastic bags, given current technologies; and {BFP728024.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 2 - Packet Page 228 of 314 WHEREAS, reusable bags are considered worldwide to be the best option to reduce waste and litter, protect wildlife, and conserve resources than single-use plastic checkout bags and are readily available and affordable for the customer; and WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council finds that a reduction in plastic bag use is in the best interest of public health, safety, and welfare, for the citizens of Edmonds and the environment; and WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City to reduce the negative impacts noted above through the implementation of this Ordinance; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

AS A “GRANDFATHERED” USE ONLY, AND ESTABLISH A REGISTRATION PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THE EXISTING GRANDFATHERED USES. Attachment 5: CM of 1/16/2001 The Council passed Ordinance 3343 an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Edmonds Community Development Code by adding a new Chapter 17.35 thereto for the purpose of regulating the keeping of animals within residential zones, and fixing a time when the same shall become effective.

CHASE Packet Page 287 of 314 Proposed Code Revision to Allow up to three domestic fowl per lot ______________________ April 8, 2009: To the Edmonds City Council and President Wilson: I suggest the following revision to the city code to allow Edmonds property owners to possess up to three chickens (no roosters), which is similar to the law in big cities like Seattle. Other pets are permitted, so why not other kinds of animals? Noise and odor would be controlled under the nuisance regulations. Permitting egg collection promotes sustainability at least marginally and promotes self-sufficiency and resource conservation, just like fruit and vegetable gardening.

For each residential dwelling unit, regardless of the number of occupants residing within such dwelling unit, the following maximum number of domestic animals may be kept or owned within the dwelling unit and upon the lot or premises associated with such dwelling unit: A. Household pets in numbers normally and commonly associated with the primary residential use of the dwelling unit. “Household pets” are animals commonly or normally kept or owned in association with a residential dwelling unit and which are generally kept or housed within the interior of the dwelling unit, including such animals as hamsters, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, nonvenomous snakes, parakeets, canaries, finches, other songbirds, small nonvenomous reptiles and amphibians, and fish; B. Five or fewer domestic animals; C. One unweaned litter produced by any domestic animal permitted to be kept by this chapter; provided, that the total number of domestic animals kept shall not exceed that number provided in subsection B of this section more than 180 days following the birth of the litter. [Ord. 3343 § 1, 2001]. D. Up to three domestic female fowl on any single family residential lot, except as otherwise grandfathered under current law. [CURRENT VERSION with proposed added language in bold italics ] 17.35.040 Keeping of poultry and covered animals in residential zones. A. The keeping of poultry or covered animals within a residential dwelling unit, or upon the premises connected therewith, shall be prohibited except as provided herein and in EDC 17.35.030D. B. Covered animals are permitted to be kept on residential property zoned for single- family use (R zones) so long as they meet the requirements of ECC 5.05.130. C. Any poultry presently and permanently being kept upon the premises of a residential dwelling unit on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be permitted under the provisions of this chapter; provided, that such use is registered with the city of Edmonds development services department as described in subsection D of this section, and that the poultry is kept in strict compliance with the provisions of Chapter 5.05 ECC. In the event that the keeping of poultry is discontinued on the 2 Packet Page 289 of 314 3 premises for a continuous period of more than 90 days, the use shall be considered terminated and the continued keeping of poultry shall not be permitted. D. Commencing on February 5, 2001, a registration period of six months, ending August 6, 2001, at 5:00 p.m., is hereby established for the registration of the keeping of poultry currently occurring in single-family zones. Upon receipt of the registration, the city shall develop a schedule for the inspection of such poultry uses to determine compliance with Chapter 5.05 ECC. If the keeping of poultry is both registered and determined to be in compliance with Chapter 5.05 ECC, then the keeping of poultry shall be considered to be established as a legal nonconforming use. E. Legal nonconforming keeping of poultry shall receive a permit certificate confirming such status and listing the physical dimensions and other characteristics of the use; provided, however, that the registration and permit of a formerly illegal poultry use may be revoked and/or conditioned in accordance with the provisions of ECC 20.100.040. F. Failure to register the keeping of poultry with the city of Edmonds development services department within the time period established by the provisions of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be considered to be presumptive proof that such activity is illegal and subject to abatement. The keeper of such poultry may overcome such a presumption only by presentation of substantial and competent evidence which establishes the legal nonconforming nature of such use by clear and convincing evidence that the use was permitted by Snohomish County or the city of Edmonds, was permitted by such agency and was in complete compliance with the applicable provisions of state law and county or city ordinance, at the date such use was initiated and established. G. The amendment of the definition of poultry was expanded by the passage of Ordinance No. 3655. In order to permit owners of poultry not previously regulated under the provisions of this code the same rights and privileges previously extended to other poultry owners, a new registration period is established commencing July 1, 2007, and extending for a period of six months, ending on December 3, 2007, at 4:00 p.m. Commencing on that date and for the period established, the keepers of pheasants, quail, guinea fowl and pea fowl may be kept as poultry as a nonconforming use if registered pursuant to the provisions of subsections (D) and (E) of this section.

Potential Updates to the City's SEPA Rules as Part of the Code Rewrite Project City Council Committee Meetings Date:05/12/2009 Submitted By:Kernen Lien Time:15 Minutes Department:Planning Type:Action Committee:Community/Development Services Information Subject Title Potential updates to the City's SEPA rules as part of the code rewrite project. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff None required. Previous Council Action N/A Narrative This is an update to SEPA regulations the Planning Board will be working on related to the code rewrite. The City of Edmonds SEPA regulations are codified in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.15A. The City’s original SEPA regulations were adopted under Ordinance 1855 in 1976. In 1984, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2461 which created ECDC 20.15A in order to come into compliance with the new (at that time) SEPA rules in WAC 197-11 and model SEPA ordinance in WAC 173-806. The ECDC 20.15A the City uses today is essentially the same ordinance that was adopted 25 years ago having under gone only four minor amendments in that time. ECDC 20.15A is being reviewed as part of the City’s comprehensive review of its development regulations. Due to changes in the RCW’s, WAC’s, and the City’s own code, ECDC 20.15A is long over due for an update.

Among other things, the law requires all state and local governments within the state to:  “Utilize a systematic, interdisciplinary approach which will insure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and in decision making which may have an impact on man’s environment;” and  Ensure that “…environmental amenities and values will be given appropriate consideration in decision making along with economic and technical considerations…” [RCW 43.21C.030.(2)(a) and (2)(b)] The policies and goals in SEPA supplement those in existing authorizations of all branches of government of Washington State, including state agencies, counties, cities, districts, and public corporations. Any governmental action may be conditioned or denied pursuant to SEPA [RCW 43.21C.060]. The environmental review process in SEPA is designed to work with other regulations to provide a comprehensive review of a proposal. Most regulations focus on particular aspects of a proposal, while SEPA requires the identification and evaluation of probable impacts for all elements of the environment. Combining the review processes of SEPA and other laws reduces duplication and delay by combining study needs, combining comment periods and public notices, and allowing agencies, applicants, and the public to consider all aspects of a proposal at the same time. Proposal can be either project proposals (new construction, fill and grade, etc.) or non project proposals (Comprehensive plans, Zoning, Development regulations, etc.). MEMORANDUM Packet Page 293 of 314 City of Edmonds SEPA Regulations: ECDC 20.15A The City of Edmonds SEPA regulations are codified in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.15A. The City’s original SEPA regulations were adopted under Ordinance 1855 in 1976. In 1984, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2461 which created ECDC 20.15A in order to come into compliance with the new (at that time) SEPA rules in WAC 197-11 and model SEPA ordinance in WAC 173-806. The ECDC 20.15A the City uses today is essentially the same ordinance that was adopted 25 years ago having under gone only four minor amendments in that time. ECDC 20.15A is being reviewed as part of the City’s comprehensive review of its development regulations. Due to changes in the RCW’s, WAC’s, and the City’s own code, ECDC 20.15A is long over due for an update. Below is an outline of proposed items and issues up for consideration under this review. 1. Adoption by reference. ECDC 20.15A adopts significant portions of WAC 197-11 (SEPA rules) by reference. Sections of WAC 197-11 have been added and/or removed since the City adopted Ordinance 2461 in 1984, particularly in regards to SEPA and GMA integration. This update will review changes in WAC 197-11 and the adoption lists in ECDC 20.15A to ensure the City is up-to- date and compliant with state regulations. 2. Model code. ECDC 20.15A is largely based off the model code in WAC 173-806. As with WAC 197-11, there have been changes to WAC 173-806 since 1984. This update will review WAC 173-806 and make updates to ECDC 20.15A where appropriate to ensure the City is up-to-date and compliant with state regulations. 3. Consistency. As with the state rules, Edmonds Community Development Code has under gone a number of amendments since 1984. This update will ensure ECDC 20.15A is consistent with the rest of the City’s development regulations. 4. Categorical exemptions - Flexible thresholds. State SEPA rules allow local jurisdictions to modify the categorically exempt threshold levels for certain minor new construction activities. The City of Edmonds has only modified one of these flexible thresholds. These activities and their thresholds are as follows: a. The construction or location of any residential structures of four dwelling units. Can be modified up to 20 dwelling units. b. The construction of a barn, loafing shed, farm equipment storage building, produce storage or packing structure, or similar agricultural structure, covering 10,000 square feet, and to be used only by the property owner or his or her agent in the conduct of farming the property. This exemption shall not apply to feed lots. Does not apply in Edmonds. Packet Page 294 of 314 c. The construction of an office, school, commercial, recreational, service or storage building with 4,000 square feet of gross floor area, and with associated parking facilities designed for twenty automobiles. Can be modified up to 12,000 square feet and 40 automobiles. d. The construction of a parking lot designed for twenty automobiles. Can be modified up to 40 automobiles. e. Any landfill or excavation of 100 cubic yards throughout the total lifetime of the fill or excavation; and any fill or excavation classified as a Class I, II, or III forest practice under RCW 76.09.050 or regulations thereunder. The City has all ready bumped this up to the maximum 500 cubic yards. The City should undertake a thorough review of the flexible thresholds and consider modifying the threshold levels. The City may choose to adjust the threshold levels to apply across the City, or apply different threshold levels to different zones within the City. 5. ECDC 20.04 – Consistency with development regulations and SEPA. ECDC 20.04 was recently developed as part of the amendments to Title 20 regarding permit processing. This section largely deals with SEPA review and Planned Actions. The City should consider moving ECDC 20.04 to ECDC 20.15A for ease of implementation and understanding of Edmonds Community Development Code. 6. Climate change. Climate change is a hot topic as is how to evaluate its impact through SEPA. The Climate Action Team’s SEPA Implementation Working Group recently released a report to clarify how considerations of climate change should be incorporated into environmental review and decision making under SEPA. The report was anything but definitive. There was no strong consensus within the Implementation Working Group, and thus no real strong recommendations, other than Ecology should look into this and develop guidelines. It is likely the City of Edmonds will have to address climate impacts through SEPA at some point in the future, but the issue is not ripe enough, nor does the City have the expertise, to develop SEPA regulations in regards to climate change in this update. However, the City can begin laying the ground work for addressing climate changes through the SEPA process. Currently the City is developing a Sustainability Element for incorporation into the Comprehensive Plan. Within the Sustainability Element the City can start developing the policies that will allow the City to develop SEPA regulations to evaluate and/or mitigate impacts of climate change once there is more of a consensus on what can and should be done through SEPA.

Significant revenue from Property taxes are receipted in April and May, and October and November, therefore monthly forecasts are not prepared. The REET forecast has also been included (page 4), however it is important to remember REET is receipted into a stand alone fund and is not part of the General Fund. Also included as a separate document, you will find the Strategic Outlook as of April 7, 2009. As always we continue to monitor the status of the General fund; however, at this time there have been no significant events that have caused us to revise the April 7th forecast. Historically, General Fund receipts at the end of April are approximately 25.82%. As of April 30, 2009 General Fund receipts are 22.42% as compared to the current forecast. Contributing to this under run are Building Permits at 20.42%, and Plan Checking Fees at 13.82%. The City is just starting to receive EMS Transport fees, to date $102,189 of the $700,000 anticipated, and will not receive any revenue from the $20 Annual Vehicle Fee imposed by the Transportation Benefit District until the third quarter. Also, we have yet to receive the first of two payments from Fire District #1 (FD#1) as this contract was just recorded and FD#1 was just billed. General Fund expenditures appear to be on target at 31.6% of forecast. Based on an average of the last 4 years’ expenditures, as of the end of April, the General Fund has historically been at 31.54% of total expenditures.
