Background Summary:

Resolution No. 5501 authorizes City Council to adopt modifications to the 2020-2025 Transportation Improvement Program. The State law that requires the TIP to be updated and adopted on an annual basis also requires a public hearing for TIP modifications. The current TIP was adopted in June 2019 and has since been modified twice to add or modify projects due to changes in funding availability. This proposed TIP modification is needed to reflect recent grant awards as follows:

 

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2020-2025 TIP

 

Additions: The following projects are proposed to be added to the TIP:

  • TIP I-17: Citywide LED Street Lighting and Controls ($2.70M) – This phase of the project will upgrade all City owned “cobra head” style street lights to LED and add smart lighting control technology. Federal grant funding for this phase of the project was awarded in 2019. Future phases to upgrade other types of City street lights (such as decorative residential and downtown lights) to LED will be considered as additional funding is available.
  • TIP P-9: Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation ($0.65M) – This project will grind and overlay the bridge deck in an effort to extend the overall service life of the bridge. Federal grant funding for the project was awarded in January of 2020.
  • TIP P-13: 3rd Street SW Bridges Deck Preservation ($0.67M) – This project will seal and overlay the 3rd Street SW bridge decks in an effort to extend the overall service life of the bridges. The following bridges are included in the project: 3rd Street SW off-ramp, 3rd Street SW over the BNSF tracks, and 3rd Street SW over A Street SW. Federal grant funding for the project was awarded in January of 2020.

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

  • TIP P-4: Bridge Deck Preservation Program ($0.1M/year) – the 2020 and 2021 funds from this program were reallocated to P-9 and P-13 to provide the required local match for the grant funds.
  • TIP P-5: Bridge Structure Preservation Program ($0.05M/biennium) - the 2020 and 2021 funds from this program were reallocated to P-9 and P-13 to provide the required local match for the grant funds.

The date of the public hearing was set by Council consent on February 3, 2020.
