Resolution setting the time and place for a hearing on June 7, 2022
to review and adopt the Six -year Transportation Improvement
Program and amend the Capital Facilities Element of the Yakima
Urban Area Comprehensive Plan for the period of 2023 - 2028

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Each year the City of Yakima (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 2023 — 2028 contains a list of nine(9) funded projects that have yet to be
constructed. The nine projects include:
1. North 1st Street Revitalization — Phase 3
2. Bravo Company Boulevard — Phase 1
3. Cowiche Canyon Trail - Phase 1
4. 72nd Avenue and W. Washington Avenue Improvements
5. 34th Avenue & Fruitvale Boulevard, and 34th Avenue and River Road
Roundabouts
6. Robertson Elementary School Safety Improvements
7. SummitviewAvenue Resurfacing
8. Pacific Avenue Sidewalk
9. E Nob Hill Blvd & Fair Ave I/S Improvements
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 (STI P) 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
2
funding agencies. The STIP 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 City Engineering and 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 2022 to 2027. 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.
