SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Each year the City is required by state statute to update its six -year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) for submittal to the Washington State Department of Transportation. This plan
must include all transportation projects for which state gas tax revenue or federal revenue will be
used.
The current plan for 2020 — 2025 contains a list of seven (7) funded projects that have yet to be
constructed. The seven projects include:
1. Spring Creek Road Reconstruction; Phase 2
2. South 36th Avenue Reconstruction
3. Bravo Company Boulevard Extension
4. Cowiche Canyon Trail; Phases 1 and 2
5. 34th Avenue/Fruitvale Blvd. & 34th Ave./River Road Roundabouts
6. East Nob Hill Boulevard and Fair Avenue Intersection Improvements
7. McClure Elementary School Vicinity Safety Improvements
Two more projects have just recently been funded and will be added to the 2021-2026 STI P:
8. Spring Creek & Washington Avenue Intersection Improvements
9. 72nd Ave. & Washington Avenue Roundabout
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.
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
2
Administration (FTA) to utilize federal funds by the State of Washington for approved state
funding agencies. The STI P is an annual prioritized program of transportation projects compiled
from local and regional plans that can be updated as needed any time from January through
October. The STI P, along with regional plans, provide a backbone for developing projects for the
inter -modal 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. Project ranking is subjective
but 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.
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 and citizen participation is an integral part of the
planning process at all levels. All local agencies are required to hold at least one public hearing
during the development of the six -year transportation program.
The City needs to amend the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element
to incorporate the adopted six -year TI P for 2021 to 2026. 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 STI P and is not subject to the "once a year" change required under the laws of the Growth
Management Act.
