SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
A) 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.
On June 7, 2022 the City of Yakima (City) adopted R-2022-069 and R-2022-070 as required by
state statute to update its Six -year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for submittal to
the Washington State Department of Transportation. The City is amending the Six -year TIP to
include the following four unfunded additional projects:
• S. 1st St/Russell Lane I/S Improvements
• 3rd Ave / Division St I/S Improvements
• East Yakima Sidewalk 1 mprovements
• Nob Hill Boulevard Resurfacing
Project information for each of the four projects being considered is attached.
City Council and the public are welcome to add other arterial system projects to the TIP. The
Six -Year TIP project listing will be finalized at this hearing and sent to the Yakima Valley
Conference of Governments (YVCOG) after approval.
In order to utilize federal funds, such as those administered by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Authority (FTA), projects must be included in the
Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STI P). The STIP is a prioritized program of
transportation projects, compiled from local and regional plans, along with the Washington
Transportation System Plan (WTP), which provides a backbone for developing projects for the
2
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. 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. Public 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; holding at least
one public hearing during its development.
B) The City is required to amend the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities
Element by incorporating the adopted Six -Year TI P for 2023 to 2028. 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 incorporating only those projects
that are adopted in the Six -Year TI P and is not subject to the "once a year" change required under
the laws of the Growth Management Act.
