This plan must include all transportation projects for which state gas tax revenue or federal revenue will be used. The current plan for 2017 — 2022 contains fourteen funded projects that have yet to be constructed. The fourteen projects include: 1. North 1St Street Revitalization, Phase 1 2. Powerhouse Road Sidewalks 3. Garfield Elementary Safety 1 mprovements 4. Yakima Valley Transportation Company Preservation 5. Spring Creek Road Reconstruction 6. South 36th Avenue Reconstruction 7. Sorenson Road Reconstruction 8. Northside Alley Paver 9. Cowiche Canyon Trail 10. East Nob Hill Boulevard and Fair Avenue Intersection Improvements 11. South 80th Avenue Bridge 12. Wide Hollow Road Bridge 13. 64th Avenue and Ahtanum Road 1 ntersection 1 mprovements 14. 34th Avenue/Fruitvale Boulevard and 34th Avenue/River Road Roundabouts Funding for the remainder of the projects will continue to be sought. A Public Hearing will be held to consider adoption of a Resolution approving the six-year TIP and amending the regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element. 2 Projects must be listed in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) in order to be approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to utilize federal funds by the State of Washington for approved State funding agencies. The STI P is a prioritized program of transportation projects, complied from local and regional plans, along with the Washington Transportation System Plan (WTP), which provides a backbone for developing projects for the intermodal transportation network in the State of Washington. The STI P contains federally funded projects plus state and local projects that are regionally significant. These projects have been identified through the planning process as the highest priority for the available funding to the state's transportation program. Planning activities of state and local governments are essential parts of integrated regional planning processes. Long range transportation planning is a part of the comprehensive land use planning carried out by local governments. Citizen participation is an integral part of the planning process at all levels. Local agencies are required to develop and adopt a six-year transportation program. All local agencies are required to hold at least one public hearing during the development of the six-year transportation program. Project ranking has been performed utilizing data supplied by the Street and Traffic Division. The ranking will be integrated with other project needs and the total list will be reviewed and adjusted to the particular need of the City of Yakima. The City needs to amend the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element to incorporate the adopted six-year T I P for 2018 to 2023. This will ensure that we are in compliance with the Growth Management Act and that we are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as required. The amendment is limited to incorporate only those projects that are adopted in the STIP and is not subject to the "once a year" change required under the laws of the Growth Management Act.
