Item No. 8.
For Meeting of: May 3, 2016
ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing and resolution to amend the 2016 through 2021 Six-
year Transportation Improvement Program
SUBMITTED BY: Brett Sheffield, PE, Chief Engineer - 509.576.6797
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Six -year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list developed by the City that
includes all of its transportation related projects. The City's existing six -year TIP has a list of 55
projects that amount to around $95,000,000. Only projects that are on the list are eligible to
spend federal and state funds.
Each year, near the end of June, the City is required by RCW 35.77.010 and RCW 36.81.121 to
update its six -year 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. Once the TIP has been approved by the City Council, projects are eligible to be
included on the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Only projects that are
listed on the STIP can utilize federal funds. The STIP is a prioritized program of transportation
projects, compiled from local and regional plans, along with the Washington Transportation
System Plan, which provides a backbone for developing projects for the intermodal transportation
network in the state of Washington.
Once established, the STIP can be amended at anytime during the year to add projects, so that
they become available for federal or state funding. The first step to amend the STIP is for the City
to amend its six -year TIP.
The proposed amendment would add the following project: #53, Cowiche Canyon Trail, and
make available $200,000 of funding for the design engineering. Attached is a letter from the
William O. Douglas Trail Foundation stating their support of the project.

Yakima City Council
129 N. 2nd Street YAKIMA TO MOUNT RAINIER
Yakima, WA 98901
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
William 0. Douglas Trail Foundation (WODTF) supports the City's
efforts to design and build a pedestrian /bicycle trail bridge across
Lower Cowiche Creek. This paved pathway project will eventually
connect to the Yakima Greenway as a unified community trail system.
WODTF does not oppose moving the bridge crossing from the existing
railroad prism to an alternate downstream site as long as the
replacement bridge site is feasible and permitable. We support and
encourage City Council to amend the Six -Year Transportation
Improvement Program to enable trail bridge and pathway design to go
forward this year.
We look forward to working with City staff on the design process for the
William 0. Douglas Trail bridge and pathway.
Sincerely,
'Ilia R. , on be i 11 of the Board of Directors of WODTF:
William R. Cook
Andrew Stepniewski
Raymond Paolella
