Modifications: The following existing projects are proposed to be revised:

  • TIP R-8: 49th Street NE ($5.35M) – The project will complete the 49th Street NE corridor between Auburn Way N and I Street NE. Proposed changes reflect portions of the project being completed as part of a development project and the remaining portion would be completed by the City with traffic mitigation funds.

  • TIP R-16: Regional Growth Center Access Improvements ($2.01M) – The project is being revised to reflect the award of $1.625M in grant funds from the Sound Transit Access Fund competition.

  • TIP I-16: 15th Street NW/SR-167 NB Ramps ($1.65M) – The project would fund the design and construction of a new westbound right-turn pocket at the intersection.

  • TIP P-3: 2nd Street SE Reconstruction ($0.98M) – The project would reconstruct 2nd Street SE between A Street SE and Auburn Way S. TIB grant funding for the project was applied for in 2019.
