He is licensed in seven states and has 25 years experience in the architectural field. Over the last 15 years, he has focused on distribution, industrial, warehouse, food and beverage, and advanced technology. He previously focused on retail architecture. When his time permits, Mr. Petek has volunteered for Renton Community projects and has also served as a youth basketball and softball coach.

To date, the contractor has completed phase 1 construction of the 12” City of Renton watermain, installed temporary drainage to support drainage outfall construction, and started the installation of soldier piles for the east storm drainage structure. Several activities remain to be completed at the site, including the following: 1. Completion of the east and center structure soldier piles, 2. Storm drainage structure excavation, 3. Jack and bore of (3) 42” diameter storm drainage pipes, and 4. Phase 2 construction of the City of Renton watermain. The contractor’s schedule currently shows the completion of these activities occurring in mid-April 2026, and this closure of Houser Way North provides the much-needed space to efficiently complete the work. The contractor is requesting an extension of the closure of Houser Way North between Lake Washington Boulevard North and Lowe’s business access road through May 15, 2026, to complete these work activities. If the work activities are completed prior to May 15, 2026, the contractor will remove the closure early. Updated notifications will be provided to the public in accordance with the Public Outreach Plan in Exhibit A. Pedestrian, cyclist, and business access will be maintained throughout the duration of the closure. Extending the approval of this closure maintains a consistent traffic pattern and reduces the number of daily lane closures that would otherwise be needed to complete construction. WSDOT’s public outreach plans for each requested closure are attached in Exhibit B and include one flier for businesses and residences within proximity to the street closures along with the localized detour plans. This section of Houser Way is one-way traffic only and the closure to date has had minimal impact on traffic circulation in the area. AGENDA ITEM #6. f) EXHIBITS: A. Public Outreach Plan B.

There is approximately $761,000 of unencumbered funding in the budget to cover the amendment. SUMMARY OF ACTION: The objective of the Lind Ave SW Storm System Improvement project is to address a reoccurring flooding issue and reduce flood risk along SW 43rd Street with a new 48-inch trunk line storm system along Lind Ave SW and SW 39th St. This proposed trunk line would provide additional drainage capacity and create a new flow path for floodwater from SW 43rd St to Springbrook Creek. The design of the conveyance improvements was planned to occur in phases. The first phase of design services consisted of data collection, surveying, groundwater monitoring, environmental assessment, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, geotechnical borings, preliminary regulatory agency coordination, alternatives for proposed system alignment, and 30% design of the selected alternative. This phase is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2025 and has shaped the scope of work and budget for the second phase. Amendment No. 2 covers the second phase of the conveyance design services necessary to complete final design of the proposed improvements. It includes supplemental hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, supplemental potholing, project permitting, 60 percent through bid ready plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate, and assistance during bidding. Note that Amendment No. 1 added the design of water quality retrofits along the project alignment to the scope. These water quality improvements will be designed in tandem with the conveyance improvements and are partially funded by a Department of Ecology Water Quality Grant Agreement CAG-24-264 that was approved by Council on December 9, 2024.Based on the 30% design, the estimated cost to construct the project’s conveyance and water quality improvements is approximately $8.44 million (includes 30% contingency).

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this project is to reduce recurrent flooding of the stormwater system conveyance along SW 43rd Street near its intersection with Lind Ave SW by constructing a new pipeline conveyance system generally between the intersection of SW 43rd Street and Lind Ave SW and the 39th Street SW cul-de-sac near Springbrook Creek. Phase 1 of the conveyance improvements design services scope included survey, some utility potholing, geotechnical investigations, hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, alternative alignment analysis, other technical evaluations, and preparation of a pre-design report and 30% construction drawings for the preferred alignment. Phase 2 of the conveyance design services will include supplemental technical analyses and/or investigations where needed as well as preparation of project permits and 60% through bid ready design plans, specifications and construction estimate. Phase 2 work will also include providing assistance during bidding. It is anticipated that a construction support task will be added as a future amendment to cover the stormwater conveyance work designed under this scope and the water quality retrofit work designed under Amendment 1. Tasks 1 through 11 were used during the Phase 1 work effort. The scope of work for Phase 2 begins with Task 12. The design of the conveyance improvements is also to be integrated with the design of proposed storm water quality retrofits along the alignment. The design of the water quality retrofits is being tracked and funded under a separate amendment (Amendment 1) which is partially funded through a Washington State Department of Ecology grant. II. DESIGN CRITERIA The City will designate the basic premises and criteria for the design. In addition, design reports and plans, to the extent feasible, shall be developed in accordance with the latest edition of the following documents: 1. Washington State Department of Transportation/American Public Works Association (WSDOT/ APWA), Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction 2025 edition, or as updated 2.

The approved 2026 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget (427.475616) for this project is $500,000, which is sufficient funding to cover the agreement. SUMMARY OF ACTION: The Taylor Ave NW Storm System Phase II Project aims to decommission an existing 18-inch diameter stormwater pipe extending under the Ukrainian Christian Center located at 221 Hardie Ave NW. Renton does not own an easement over this existing 18-inch pipe and a temporary construction easement will be needed for this project. The existing pipe had been utilized by Renton for multiple decades to drain stormwater from Taylor Ave NW to Hardie Ave NW before the first phase of the Taylor Ave NW Storm System Project completed in 2022 directed stormwater away from this pipe and into a new 24-inch pipe extending south. The 18-inch diameter pipe under the church is made of concrete with sections of wood reinforcement. Based on CCTV inspections, the pipe is extensively damaged with multiple fractures, collapsed sections, cracks, holes, and voids in the surrounding backfill evident in the video. Due to the risk presented by this pipe to the church, the second phase of the Taylor Ave NW Storm System Project will fill this pipe with flowable fill, stabilize the old pipe, and reroute on-site private drainage to an alternative storm connection location. The Surface Water Utility reviewed SOQs from 10 firms on the MRSC Roster under the Civil Engineering Design category as part of a consultant selection process for three projects. After scoring the SOQs, and interviewing the four top scoring firms in August 2025, Mead & Hunt, Inc. was selected as the most qualified firm to provide the engineering design services required for this project. This agreement with Mead & Hunt consists of the professional services associated with producing final design of the proposed storm system improvements. These services include surveying, identifying private connections into the existing pipe, geotechnical explorations, coordination with property owner, final design, specifications and engineer’s estimate. Construction of these improvements is anticipated in 2027. EXHIBITS: A. Agreement B. Vicinity Map C.

Project Background The Taylor Ave Phase 2 project will involve decommissioning an existing stormwater pipe under the Ukrainian Christian Center located at 221 Hardie Avenue NW in Renton, Washington. The existing pipe is owned by the City of Renton (City or Client), 18” in diameter and constructed of concrete with possible wood & concrete reinforcement. The pipe was installed at an unknown date. The subject pipe appears to be severely damaged along its length, including several notable sections of pipe fracturing, collapse, cracking, holes, and voids in surrounding backfill. This pipe is too degraded for any viable form of pipe rehabilitation, and thus, the pipe is being decommissioned. Phase 1 of the pipe decommissioning included re-routing the public stormwater flow around the existing pipe through a new storm infrastructure. The City completed the re-routing work in March 2022. Phase 2 will include identifying private pipe connections, re-routing those connections to an alternate public storm connection location, and backfilling the existing storm pipe with flowable fill. The Consultant also understands that there may be wastewater connections to this pipe that may need to be rerouted as well.

The design, construction, maintenance, operation, and location of city streets, roads, sidewalks, trails and other transportation facilities impacts all Renton residents, employees, and visitors. The ownership, control, development, and maintenance of public rights-of-way are primary functions of city government. Older transportation facilities built in preceding decades are reaching the end of their design life and require maintenance, rehabilitation, or retrofitting. Securing revenue for transportation investments is increasingly difficult as the purchasing power of gas tax revenue has eroded steadily over time, along with the increasing difficulty of generating greater revenue through taxes. The public’s concerns about transportation issues have also expanded beyond cost and mobility to include neighborhood impacts, sustainability, and accommodations for all types of users. With more residents, there is growing demand for alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles and reducing the impacts of transportation on the environment. While specific responsibility and authority for transportation choices is divided amongst various governments and agencies, users expect local and regional transportation facilities to function as a unified system. Achieving that requires coordination with federal, state, regional, county, and municipal stakeholders and decision makers. Renton has been designated a Core City by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). A Core City contains a regionally designated growth center – Renton’s Urban Center encompassing Boeing, The Landing, and the Downtown Business District – serves as a key hub for the region’s long-range multimodal transportation system, and also provides major civic, cultural, and employment centers.

This element is consistent with Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2050 and the Regional Transportation Plan. ED. Transportation Framework Council’s VISION 2050 and Transportation 2050 and includes goals and policies addressing the following topics:  Maintenance, Management and Safety  Transportation Demand Management  Street Network  Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation  Transit and High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV)  Transportation Options and Mobility  Growth Strategy, Land Use, and Transportation  Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency  Freight  Airport  Finance, Investment, and Implementation  Intergovernmental Coordination Coordinate transportation investments with the pace of growth and land use development patterns to ensure Renton maintains an efficient, balanced, multimodal transportation system. Goals Goal TR-A: Continue to develop and operate a transportation system that stimulates, supports, and enhances the safe, efficient and reliable movement of people, vehicles, goods, and services, using best practices and context sensitive design strategies. Goal TR-B: Balance transportation needs with other community values and needs by providing facilities that promote vibrant commerce, clean air and water, and health and recreation. Goal TR-C: Maintain, preserve, and extend the life and utility of transportation investments. Goal TR-D: Emphasize investments that provide alternatives to single occupant vehicle travel. Goal TR-E: Apply technological solutions to improve the efficiency and safety of the transportation system. Goal TR-F: Promote and develop local air transportation facilities in a responsible and efficient manner. Goal TR-G: Establish a stable, long-term financial foundation for continuously improving the quality, effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of the transportation system. GOAL Coordinate transportation investments with the pace of growth and land use development patterns to ensure Renton maintains an efficient, balanced, multimodal transportation system. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Maintenance, Management, and Safety CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 5 Policies Policy TR-1: Develop a connected network of transportation facilities that foster a sense of place in the public realm with attractive design amenities where public streets are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained for the safe, convenient travel of all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders of all ages and abilities, and freight and motor vehicle drivers. Policy TR-2: Implement a multimodal level of service that maximizes access to available alternative transportation modes such as walking, biking, carpooling, and transit. Policy TR-3: Develop a transportation system that preserves and protects natural resources and complies with regional, state, and federal air and water quality standards. Policy TR-4: Promote clean energy transportation programs and facilities. Identify actions to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. Policy TR-5: Prepare for and support changes in transportation modes and technologies that are energy- efficient and improve system performance to support communities with a sustainable and efficient transportation system. Policy TR-6: Reduce stormwater pollution from transportation facilities through retrofits and updated design standards to improve fish passage. Where feasible, integrate other improvements to achieve multiple benefits and cost efficiencies. ED. Maintenance, Management, and Safety The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the transportation system impacts long-term use and safety for all users. Safety planning and mitigation, including strategies for protecting the transportation system from disasters, requires multidisciplinary efforts that can significantly improve the livability of Renton. According to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), from 2020 to 2024, about 5,400 collisions were reported along streets within the City’s limits, excluding mainline freeway segments such as I-405 and SR 167. High frequency of collisions were along NE 3rd Street, Sunset Boulevard N, Benson Drive S, and SW 43rd Street/SE Carr Road/SE Petrovitsky Road. In addition, heavily traveled roads such as I-405, SR 169, SR 167, and Rainier Avenue S also show a high frequency of crashes at ramp intersections with city streets. Additional safety analysis and maps can be found in Appendix D. To improve transportation safety, the City has a Traffic Safety Program that provides funding for special, small- scale traffic safety improvements that are typically identified through citizens’ concerns, crash history, or observations by traffic operations or maintenance staff. Policies Policy TR-7: Coordinate road right-of-way preservation and maintenance activities to minimize expected life-cycle costs and maximize asset management. Policy TR-8: Ensure maintenance and preservation of the transportation system is given high priority in resource allocations. Maintain and preserve the transportation system mindful of life-cycle costs associated with delayed maintenance. Policy TR-9: Increase and maintain the resiliency of the transportation system by incorporating redundancies and preparing for disasters and other impacts. Develop and coordinate prevention and recovery strategies and disaster response plans with regional and local agencies to protect the transportation system against major disruptions. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Transportation Demand Management CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 6 Policy TR-10: Optimize the performance of the transportation network and improve efficiency and safety for various travel modes through signal timing coordination, signal retiming on a regular basis, maintenance and capital replacement programs, and other operational improvements of existing and planned transportation facilities. Policy TR-11: Limit direct access onto arterials when access opportunities via another route exist. Policy TR-12: Invest in and maintain Renton’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program to optimize emergency response and communications, optimize trips and traffic flow through traffic center management, reduce vehicle miles travelled, encourage the use of other modes, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from idling. Policy TR-13: Secure sustainable funding sources for the preservation and maintenance of the transportation system. Policy TR-14: Coordinate arterial operations and enhancements to improve transit service operated by local and regional transit authorities. ED. Transportation Demand Management Transportation Demand Management (TDM) focuses on more effectively using existing and planned transportation capacity, ensuring compatibility with planned uses, accommodating growth consistent with land use objectives, offering alternatives to Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) travel, mitigating impacts, and better meeting mobility needs. Reducing trip-making, dispersing travel demand throughout the day, and increasing transit usage and ride- sharing are significantly less costly means of accommodating increased travel demand than constructing new or widening existing transportation facilities. Reducing the number of trips made via single occupant vehicles is also an effective way of reducing automobile-related air pollution, traffic congestion, and energy use. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can be used to apply technological solutions to problems such as congestion, safety, and mobility. Substantial investment in ITS, such as signs and internet sites providing real time feedback on travel times and alternatives, continues in the Puget Sound Region. Renton has installed an Adaptive Signal Control System (ASCS) on the SW 43rd Street/Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road corridor which adjusts the timing of intersection stop lights (green, yellow, red lights) to accommodate changing traffic patterns and ease traffic congestion. Renton is currently developing plans to implement an additional ASCS along Rainier Avenue South, SR 169 (Maple Valley Highway) and SR 900 Sunset Boulevard corridors. The location and supply of parking is an integral part of the local transportation system and TDM strategies are important to commerce and private enterprise. Inadequate parking can increase congestion on streets as people circle and look for available spaces. Too much parking can deter the use of alternative travel modes, including transit. Providing for “right size” parking ratios based on a district’s land use intensity and access to transit is important to community character and mobility and can help reduce the total cost of development. Satellite parking with shuttle services and collective structured parking are potential physical methods for managing and increasing the parking supply. Renton adopted a Commute Trip Reduction Plan and Ordinance requiring employers with 100 or more regular employees who arrive to work weekdays between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m. to have transportation benefit programs for their workforce. The aim is to reduce commute trips made by single occupancy vehicles (SOV) and encourage commuters to use other means of transportation to work, such as carpooling or vanpooling, taking transit (buses and trains), or if possible, bicycling or walking. This improves air quality, reduces fuel AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Street Network CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 7 consumption and reduces congestion on local and regional roads during commute hours. Renton’s mixed-use centers offer opportunities to reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel. Regional plans call for Regional Growth Centers such as Renton’s to work towards reducing SOV shares. In 2022, PSRC estimated the following work trip mode shares in Renton’s Regional Growth Center: Single Occupant Vehicle 66.2% High Occupancy Vehicle 5.3% Walk and Bike 3.7% Transit 8.5% Work from Home 15% Other 1.3% Source: PSRC, 2022. The combination of increased land use density, development patterns and investments in expanding transit, walk, and bike facilities would increase the accessibility and mobility options. By 2044, the transportation model forecasts the SOV mode share would decrease by up to six percentage points in Renton’s Regional Growth Center. This corresponds to two percentage points increase in people carpooling and four percentage points increase across the transit, walk, and bike modes. Policies Policy TR-15: Implement transportation demand management (TDM) programs to reduce disruptive traffic impacts and to support mixed-use development, commercial centers, and employment areas. Policy TR-16: Encourage a reduction in drive alone work trip shares to below 60% by 2044 within the Regional Growth Center through investments in non-motorized facility connections, collaboration with transit providers, and commute trip reduction programs with employers. This goal aligns with WSDOT’s drive-alone goals. Policy TR-17: Invest in and maintain Renton’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program coordinated with other agencies. Policy TR-18: Encourage ridesharing through requirements for parking reserved for carpool and vanpool vehicles in the zoning code or as allowed under state law. Policy TR-19: Provide education and awareness to employers about their commute trip reduction obligations under the City of Renton’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Ordinance and CTR Plan. Policy TR-20: Regularly review and refine parking ratios to account for existing parking supply, land use intensity, and access to transit, as allowed under state law. Policy TR-21: Encourage shared and structured parking in downtown Renton to achieve land use and economic development goals as expressed in the City Center Community Plan and to coordinate parking for the benefit of the district businesses and residents. ED. Street Network Federal and State highways such as I-405, SR 900 (Sunset Boulevard), SR 169 (Maple Valley Highway), SR 515 (Benson Highway), and SR 167 (Rainier Avenue) are integral elements of Renton's arterial system, as well AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Street Network CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 8 as routes for regional commuters. These five interstate, freeway, and state highways converge in central Renton within a half mile radius of each other. This results in a complex traffic flow as regional and local trips interact within a relatively short distance. Local arterial streets link commercial, industrial, and residential neighborhoods to the freeways and state highways. Within neighborhoods, local access streets provide internal circulation and connections to the arterials. Local access streets primarily provide direct access to abutting land uses and are designed to discourage through traffic. Arterials in the City of Renton are divided into three classifications that are used to identify appropriate uses, establish eligibility for road improvement funding, and define appropriate street design standards:  Principal Arterials are streets and highways that connect major intra-city activity centers and have high traffic volumes and relatively fast vehicle speeds. The focus is on through travel instead of property access.  Minor Arterials are streets that provide links between intra-city activity centers or between principal and collector arterials. Minor arterials carry moderately high traffic volumes and vehicle speeds are typically lower than principal arterials.  Collector Arterials are streets that distribute traffic between local streets and principal or minor arterials and provide circulation within commercial, industrial, or residential areas. The collector system distributes traffic to local streets to support property access. Generally, local access streets include all public streets not classified as principal, minor, or collector arterials. A conceptual arterial map is shown in Map TR- 1Error! Reference source not found.. The City has adopted more specific street classifications in the Renton Sunset area. The Transportation Element seeks to balance local and regional mobility needs. The following policies and priorities address issues related to the street network as a system, the physical design of individual roadways, traffic flow, and traffic operations control. The intent is to reduce the amount of traffic on city streets that has neither an origin nor destination in the City of Renton, while providing reasonable levels of traffic flow and mobility for users of the local street system.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Future Plans While the street network is mostly built out, anticipated changes to the street network to provide more direct multimodal connections include converting S 2nd Street and S 3rd Street from one-way to two-way operations with wider sidewalks and parking. In addition, protected bike lanes are proposed on S 2nd Street. With the I-405 Express Toll Lanes Project described below, additional direct access ramps are being considered at N 8th Street, as well as a potential new ramps to and from I-405 at Lind Avenue SW. I-405 Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project1 Travelers on I-405 between Renton and Bellevue experience one of the state’s roughest commutes. The I- 405 Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project includes transportation and safety improvements for different modes to offer more reliable travel choices and keep drivers, transit riders, and freight moving smoothly through the region. This project is designed to improve speeds and trip reliability for all travelers and shorten Sound Transit Stride S1 Line travel times between Renton and Bellevue. The City’s Transportation Improvement Program is a six- year planning document that is updated annually. The TIP identifies and prioritizes planned transportation programs and projects and includes project descriptions, status, and funding sources. The current TIP 2025-2030 has 60 programs and projects. Policies Policy TR-22: Work with the state and neighboring jurisdictions to provide capacity on regional transportation systems and to reduce regional traffic on local streets. 1 https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/stride- bus-rapid-transit/wsdot-partner-projects Policy TR-23: Increase the person-carrying capacity of the Renton arterial system by encouraging transit and other modes. Policy TR-24: Adopt and implement street standards based on assigned street classification, land use objectives, and user needs.

Policy TR-26: Support vacating streets when they meet the criteria in Renton Municipal Code, Chapter 14, Vacations. ED. Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Investments in the non-motorized components of Renton’s transportation system enhance the quality of life in Renton, improve walking and bicycling safety, support healthy lifestyles, and support pedestrian and bicycle transportation modes as alternatives to the use of automobiles. Non-motorized facilities serve commuters and recreational users. Inventory The City's existing non-motorized transportation system is comprised primarily of on-street sidewalks, multi-use paths, on-street bicycle facilities, and recreational off- street trails or paths. These facilities provide safe non- motorized mobility for pedestrians and cyclists outside of business districts. Within business districts, sidewalks are restricted to pedestrians. Many streets were constructed before the existing code requiring sidewalks was enacted. As a result, numerous local and arterial roadways are currently without sidewalks. The City of Renton AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 11 Comprehensive Citywide Walkway Study (March 2008 and 2024 update) addresses the sidewalks and walkways within Renton and identifies a priority roster to construct "missing" sidewalk/walkway sections throughout the city. Many areas within Renton are walkable, and the city has at least 343 miles of existing sidewalk. However, there are gaps in the pedestrian network – particularly along local neighborhood streets – with at least 188 miles of missing sidewalk and low levels of pedestrian comfort in some areas. Map TR- 2 shows the existing sidewalks in Renton. In addition to sidewalks, Renton has combined bicycle/pedestrian facilities along Logan Avenue and portions of Garden Avenue North and North 8th Street, and striped bicycle lanes on portions of SW 16th Street, Oakesdale Avenue SW, Duvall Avenue NE, and NE 4th Street. The Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan (2019) lists routes that have been identified as important bicycle transportation elements. Map TR- 3 shows the existing bicycle network in Renton. Many cities in the region have policies and partnerships in place for microtransit services like bike and scooter share programs as a travel option for shorter trips. There are no programs currently available in Renton, however pilot programs could expand into Renton as more dense, diverse, development occurs over time. The City of Renton Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan (January 2020) provides an in-depth description of proposed walking, bicycle, and mixed-use trails. By nature, these types of trails are primarily used for recreational purposes and supplement the City's non-motorized transportation system and their development should be encouraged. Future Plans Over the last century, Renton's transportation system has been oriented towards accommodating cars, trucks, and buses rather than pedestrians or bicycles. The policies and priorities of this section provide guidelines for reevaluating the existing system and making incremental improvements in the City’s walking and biking environment. The Rainier/Grady Junction TOD Subarea Plan (2021) identifies opportunities to make the area just south of Downtown develop with smaller block sizes and identifies multimodal connections across Rainier Avenue S and S Grady Way to make it more walkable, bikeable, and accessible by transit. More facilities are also needed for bicycle storage and parking in shopping areas, employment centers, and in public places. Specific recommendations on improvement projects are included in the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan and subsequent amendment (January 2019 and amended January 2024).

Transit and High Occupancy Vehicles As Renton’s population continues to grow, there is a greater need to move people efficiently on the local roadway network. A well-managed, attractive, and convenient transit system reduces traffic demand by encouraging the use of alternatives to single occupant vehicles for trips within the city limits and for trips to regional destinations. The following policies and priorities seek to maximize the use of transit and other alternatives to single occupant vehicles in Renton. Inventory The Downtown Renton Transit Center is the current hub of transit service in Renton. The Transit Center acts as both a destination and a major transfer center. Bus service in Renton is currently provided by King County Metro and Sound Transit. Metro provides internal city routes and regional service. Local transit service includes RapidRide, buses, shuttles, and Dial-a-Ride (DART). The RapidRide F-line connects The Landing and Boeing plant with Downton Renton, Tukwila, SeaTac, and Burien. It connects with the regional Sounder (commuter rail) and Link Light Rail systems. As of 2022, Renton has over 1,100 park and ride spaces located throughout the city to serve local commuters. Map TR- 4 shows Renton’s existing transit facilities. Bus Service King County Metro’s serves Renton with  RapidRide F  160 & 101 frequent all-day routes,  102, 105, 106, 107, 148, 153 & 240 all-day routes, and 2 https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/travel- options/metro-flex  907 Dial-A-Ride Transit (DART) Sound Transit serves Renton with  560 and 566 express buses Additionally, King County Metro’s Flex2 is an on-demand neighborhood transit service operating in the Renton Highlands to provide rides with minivans for the same cost as a Metro bus trip. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, available to buses and vehicles with two or more occupants, currently exist north and southbound on I-405 and SR 167. HOV queue jump lanes are provided at some interchange ramps in Renton. Rainier Avenue has business access and transit only (BAT) lanes. Future Plans VISION 2050 and Transportation 2050 call for channeling future growth into regional growth centers such as Renton and providing transit links between centers. Transit investments are critical to providing local and regional trip alternatives to single occupant vehicles. Transit service and facility improvements are needed to support and encourage increased transit use in the City of Renton. Renton has been and will continue to work with King County Metro and Sound Transit to develop transit system service improvements (e.g., new routes, increased frequency) and capital investments (e.g., signal queues, park and ride facilities) to adequately serve Renton’s developing residential and employment areas. A future King County Metro RapidRide I Line is expected to begin service in 2026 and connect the Renton Transit Center with Auburn’s transit station to the south. Sound Transit’s Stride S1 Line will connect communities along I- 405 and SR 518 from Bellevue to Burien and include five Stride stations including the Renton Transit Center and a new transit center in Renton at NE 44th Station. Parking AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 16 improvements at these two stations are expected to be completed in 2034. The City is very supportive of Sound Transit’s project to add Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to the I-405 corridor, including direct HOV ramps at a new WSDOT interchange at N 8th Street. The project also includes a new transit center in South Renton and inline station at I-405 and NE 44th Street with the addition of 700 parking stall garage at the transit center and 200 parking stalls at the interchange. Planned HOV facility investments, such as HOV lanes or intersection queue jumps, are planned in several Renton corridors and direct access HOV interchange ramps are planned at the following locations between 2023 and 2030:  Rainier Avenue Corridor Improvements: Implement Adaptive Signal Control System (ASCS) along corridors that support transit operations and emergency management services.  Safe Routes to Transit Program provides non- motorized improvements along major transit corridors such as the future Rapid Ride I line between the Regional Growth Centers of Auburn, Kent, and Renton.  NE Sunset Boulevard (SR 900) Corridor Improvements from I-405 on the west to city limits to the east: Reconstruct arterial to enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities and transit facilities/develop street to latest adopted Principal Arterial street standards. The City is also discussing extension of BRT to this corridor, which would connect the Sunset Area with The Landing, Boeing, and other employment centers.  Grady Way Corridor Improvements from Lind Avenue to Main Avenue: Reconfigure traffic lanes and add turn lanes and other traffic signal improvements to enhance traffic operations and transit reliability. These HOV investments will improve transit travel time, accessibility, and reliability and contribute to a reduction in congestion and pollution by providing an attractive alternative to the single occupant vehicle. Policies Policy TR-32: Work with other jurisdictions and transit authorities to plan and provide frequent, coordinated, and comprehensive transit service and facilities in residential and employment areas. Policy TR-33: Support direct HOV ramps to/from I-405 in the vicinity of The Landing (N 8th Street) per the City Center Community Plan. Policy TR-34: Work to improve the frequency and reliability of transit serving the Regional Growth and Countywide Centers and promote the new South Renton Transit Center as part of a regional high capacity transit system. Policy TR-35: Increase transit service and access in commercial and mixed-use corridors and nodes. Policy TR-36: Coordinate transit, bike, and pedestrian planning efforts and evaluate opportunities to leverage or support investments in transit infrastructure, service improvements, and transit stations/facilities for the benefit of more users. Policy TR-37: Construct improvements and implement actions to facilitate the flow of HOV’s into, out of, and through Renton. Policy TR-38: Support exclusive freeway/arterial HOV facilities that improve transit travel times by enabling buses to bypass congestion. Policy TR-39: Allow park-and-ride facilities in appropriate locations subject to design considerations.

Transportation Options and Mobility As described in Renton’s Housing Action Plan (2021) and Housing and Human Services Element, lack of mobility creates obstacles for individuals and families to access the services they need. Lack of mobility and transportation services can limit a household’s ability to obtain basic goods and services, receive medical or dental care, commute to a job, and maintain employment. Current barriers to mobility in Renton include:  Uneven access to public transit, with limited options for those who do not live Downtown, do not commute during peak travel times, or who need to travel within Renton (instead of between Renton and other destinations in the region). The most vulnerable groups include low-income households that are unable to afford vehicle ownership, as well as residents who are unable to drive.  Elderly residents and others with personal physical mobility issues also face the challenge of not being able to walk longer distances to and from a bus stop, further limiting their opportunities to use public transit.  Many of the pedestrian and bike routes connecting Renton’s residential areas with basic services are unsafe, which further limits transportation alternatives for households without an automobile. Policies Policy TR-40: Invest in the connection of non-motorized facilities across Renton. Provide improvements at intersections to improve safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicyclists. Policy TR-41: Support transit agencies’ investment in transit service to Renton neighborhoods within and beyond the Transit Center. Policy TR-42: Develop a connected transportation system, through implementation of transportation programs and improvements, that provides equitable mobility choices and access to opportunities, while preventing or mitigating negative impacts to marginalized communities, people with low income, and people with special transportation needs. Policy TR-43: Implement the Barrier Free Mobility Plan adopted by the City Council in December of 2021. Policy TR-44: Prepare and respond to changes in mobility patterns and needs for both people and goods, and encourage partnerships with the private sector, where applicable. ED. Growth Strategy, Land Use, and Transportation Renton has been designated a Core City and has a Regional Growth Center called the Renton Urban Center. Renton’s adopted Urban Center boundary includes two primary sections: the northern portion borders Lake Washington and emphasizes mixed use and regional employment, including Boeing’s Renton plant and The Landing, a retail and residential development; the southern portion of the center includes the downtown core and adjacent residential area. The City is obligated to meet the 2044 Growth Targets contained in the King County Countywide Planning Policies and much of its growth capacity is in mixed use zones such as the Central Business District (CBD). The City must also estimate its growth to the year 2044 to provide the required 20-year planning period under GMA. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Growth Strategy, Land Use, and Transportation CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 19 Table TR-1 shows the City’s growth targets, capacity, and transportation modeling assumptions.

The City has tested the future land use, desired mode split, and planned transportation improvements in the City’s transportation model. The model results show that the projected growth can be supported by the City’s planned improvements, and the City’s level of service policies (see Policy TR-53) can be met. Increased congestion is expected to continue to occur near interstate and state route ramp intersections. The model tested Renton’s planned growth and improvements in the context of regional growth and networks consistent with Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2050 and Transportation 2050 plans. Testing Renton’s planned growth and improvements shows the following summary model results in selected corridors:  SW 43rd Street/SE Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road Corridor: Planned physical improvements to intersections and lanes together ASCS, and the LOS E Mitigated designation per policies, are appropriate. Increased congestion requires continued coordination with WSDOT for potential changes to increase capacity at the SR 167 ramp intersections.  Grady Way: Planned improvements such as grade separation at Rainier Avenue S would improve transit operations even in areas of projected continued congestion. More detailed transportation analysis of planned improvements would occur through the design process. Policies Policy TR-45: Provide multimodal transportation improvements that support land use plans and are compatible with surrounding land uses. Policy TR-46: Plan for land use densities and mixed-use development patterns that encourage walking, biking, and transit use in designated areas. Policy TR-47: Continue to implement the following design guidelines in Renton’s Regional Growth and Countywide Centers:  Encourage a mix of complementary land uses.  Encourage compact growth by addressing density.  Link neighborhoods and connect streets, sidewalks, and trails.  Complete missing links and connections in the pedestrian and bicycle systems.  Integrate activity areas with surrounding neighborhoods.  Locate public and semipublic uses near Renton’s transit center(s).  Design for pedestrians and bicyclists.  Provide usable open spaces such as the Renton Piazza, Burnett Linear Park, Cedar River Trail, and others.  Manage the supply of parking.  Promote the benefits of on-street parking.  Reduce and mitigate the effects of parking.

ED. Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency Transportation concurrency – ensuring the programs, projects, and services needed to serve growth are in place when or soon after growth occurs – is a key requirement of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The City established the following objectives for its multimodal concurrency system:  Meet requirements of GMA and be defensible.  Be meaningful to measure transportation system versus development.  Be simple to explain.  Be simple and cost efficient to implement and monitor.  Incorporate other travel modes.  Be receptive to various TDM and parking strategies.  Consider the potential for different standards for different parts of the City.  Help fund/implement multimodal transportation improvements.  Provide a basis for interjurisdictional coordination on transportation. Following a review of different systems and methods, the City developed a multimodal LOS and concurrency system that considers all modes of travel (vehicle, transit, walk and bike person trips). The multimodal LOS system address transportation at the following scales: 1) citywide, 2) community planning area, and 3) development level. The primary component of the system is a plan-level estimate of person trips based on the land use forecasts. Person trips are the number of persons making trips by all modes of travel. Bicycle and pedestrian trips typically involve one person, thus one person trip. But motor vehicles often have more than one occupant. For example, if the average vehicle occupancy was 1.3, and a concurrency service area (like a community planning area) had 1,000 p.m. peak vehicle trips, the person trips would be 1,300. Similarly, if a transit vehicle carries 65 passengers, there would be 65 person trips. Using person trips provides a common metric for use in concurrency and assessment of transportation impacts or mitigation fees. To ensure that growth is occurring in a pattern and intensity proposed by the Land Use Element, the person trips could be tracked by consolidated Community Planning Areas that share a common circulation system and that do not place undue administrative burden. The last component of the LOS program is at a development scale. Applicants for development would need to provide an analysis of the effect of their proposed development on safety, operations and local access considering a measurement of delay per vehicle of LOS D or LOS E mitigated using Highway Capacity Manual definitions. See Table TR-2 for a description of the key steps in the LOS/Concurrency system. LOS standards guide the types of street, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit improvements needed to meet planned levels of growth. The transportation system’s quality of design, sensitivity to human needs, and integration with the surroundings impact the City’s urban character and quality of life. Transportation improvements should be designed accordingly. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency Table TR-2. Level of Service and Concurrency System Program Component or Characteristic Attributes Person Trips Person trips are the number of persons making a trip regardless of mode of travel. Using person trips provides a common metric for use in concurrency and for impact or mitigation fees. Multimodal Levels of Service  See policy TR-53. Multiple Service Areas The City will consider monitoring a person trip bank to specific service areas, such as consolidated Community Planning Areas, that reflect differences in transportation opportunities, needs and capacities, as well as differences in existing and future land uses. However, the City will determine system needs and collect fees at a citywide scale in order to preserve the City’s flexibility to prioritize projects, and to avoid creating smaller accounts that do not collect enough to fund any projects before the legal deadlines to spend the money or refund it. Trip Calculator, Fee Calculator, Trip Bank Applicants will provide the type(s) of land uses they will develop, and the number of units they propose for each type (i.e., # of apartments, or # of square feet of retail, office, etc.). The Trip Calculator will convert the applicant’s data to the number of person trips in their service area using trip generation rates. The trip calculator results will be used for concurrency by comparing the applicant’s person trips to the balance available in the trip bank. The trip calculator results will be used for fee calculations by multiplying the applicant’s person trips times the fee per trip. Multimodal Mitigation Fees A separate SEPA-based mitigation fee schedule will collect each applicant’s proportionate share of their direct impact on the other modes of travel. Strategies such as TDM and parking can earn credits that reduce the mitigation fees. Safety, Operations, and Local Access Analysis Applicants for development will be required to submit an analysis of the effect of their proposed development on safety, operations and local access using guidelines outlined in the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency Policies Policy TR-49: Ensure adequate transportation facilities are in place at the time of development approval or that an adopted strategy is in place to provide adequate facilities within six years.

Policy TR-58: Take one or more of the following actions if the City is unable to fund the programs, projects and services identified (not in priority order):  Delay development until the needed programs, facilities or services can be funded; or  Amend the Land Use Plan to reduce the demand placed on the transportation system; or  Obtain needed revenue or revise the Transportation Improvement Plan to reflect known financial resources; or  As a last choice, change the transportation level of service standard. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Freight CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 23 ED. Freight Safe and efficient movement and distribution of goods is important for attracting and retaining businesses in the City of Renton. Inventory Truck and rail freight are important to the regional and local economy. The Washington State Freight Mobility Plan identifies T1 freight corridors (those carrying more than 10 million tons per year), T2 freight corridors (carrying 4 to 10 million tons per year), and other freight routes within the City that are important to the state economy. Error! Reference source not found.5 identifies the state-designated freight routes and annual tonnage moved by classification. Renton has a system of truck routes for trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. In accordance with the City’s truck route ordinance, trucks needing to make deliveries off the designated truck routes are required to take the most direct arterial route to/from one of the designated truck routes and to combine multiple trips off designated truck routes when feasible. The truck route ordinance does not apply to the operation of school buses or public transit on designated routes, garbage trucks, city maintenance vehicles, or emergency vehicles. Freight rail service is currently available to several industrial and commercial areas of the City. Existing rail lines bordering the City of Renton include the Union Pacific (UPRR) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) main line tracks between Seattle and Tacoma. The BNSF main line runs in a north-south direction and is located along the City of Renton's western city limits, separating Renton from the City of Tukwila. The BNSF main line carries a considerable volume of freight service, as well as passenger service. Two spur lines provide intermittent, as-needed freight service from the main line to the Renton Valley industrial area (southwest Renton) and the Container Corporation of America plant in the Earlington industrial area. The BNSF 18th Subdivision Branch Line splits from the BNSF main line at the Black River Junction and continues through Downtown Renton and the North Renton industrial area. Spur tracks off the branch line provide freight service to the Earlington industrial area in west central Renton. The UPRR mainline track, located 200 to 300 feet west of the BNSF mainline and Renton's city limits, also runs in a north-south direction. The UPRR mainline is a single track, carrying a somewhat lower level of freight-only service. The infrequent use of the spur tracks and branch lines within city limits results in minimal disruption to vehicular traffic movement in Renton. Future land use development is not anticipated to result in a significant increase in rail freight service in Renton. The following policies and priorities seek to balance the needs of freight (trucks and trains) with the needs of other users of the local street network. Freight Policies Policy TR-59: Work with local, regional, state, and federal agencies to address regional freight needs and mitigate local impacts. Policy TR-60: Maintain and improve freight access to and from Renton industrial areas. Policy TR-61: Minimize the impact of freight traffic on transportation facilities and general traffic circulation. Policy TR-62: Limit heavy through truck traffic to designated truck routes. Policy TR-63: Support railroad crossing improvements that minimize maintenance and protect the street surface. Where warranted, provide protective devices, such as barriers and warning signals, on at-grade crossings. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Freight Map TR- 5. Freight Transportation System in Renton Source: Washington Department of Transportation AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Airport CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 25 ED. Airport The Renton Municipal Airport is a major general aviation airport and a designated Reliever Airport for SeaTac International Airport in the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Both federal and state governments recognize its importance as part of the transportation system and require Renton to protect and maintain it so that it can be used safely. Renton's airport is more than a transportation facility. It is a vital element to Renton's commercial and industrial economy, providing aircraft services, manufacturing support, flight training, and other airport activities. The airport is a self-sufficient enterprise fund within the City’s operations. According to the 2020 WSDOT Aviation Economic Impact Study, Renton Municipal Airport accounts for the third largest economic impact in Washington State at over 16 percent of the business revenues into the state. Inventory The Renton Municipal Airport is owned by the City of Renton. The Airport consists of approximately 165.5 acres; it has one runway with two parallel taxiways. The runway, running southeast to northwest, is 5,379 feet long and 200 feet wide. It is equipped with medium intensity runway lighting, Runway End Identification Lighting (REIL), and Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI). Taxiways are also equipped with lighting, a rotating beacon, a windsock, and a non-directional radio beacon. The Federal Aviation Administration operates a contracted Air Traffic Control Tower year-round during established hours (generally 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.). Renton airport serves general aviation demand (aviation uses except scheduled commercial passenger airlines) generated by Renton, Boeing, and other communities generally within a 30-minute drive. Aircraft services available at the Airport include aircraft maintenance and service, fuel, flight instruction, aircraft charter and rental, and aircraft storage. Fixed Base Operators (FBO's), which are aviation-oriented businesses offering a variety of services and products to aircraft owners and operators, provide these services to the aviation public. Contiguous to the Renton airport is the Will Rogers-Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base which, during the summer months, is one of the busiest seaplane bases in the Northwest. The Renton Municipal Airport is a Landing Rights Airport, with US Customs services available for both floatplane and wheeled aircraft arriving by water or by land. Future Plans The Airport Layout Plan establishes future development and improvement priorities and timelines that will yield a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable public facility with capacity for the future air transport needs of the City of Renton and the Puget Sound region. The number of aircraft and the number of operations are projected to grow only modestly in the coming decades; however, the region has a large unmet need for hangars for aircraft storage. The airport has begun an update to the Airport Layout Plan. Renton Municipal Airport Staff Source: City of Renton: AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Finance, Investment, and Implementation CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 26 Policies Policy TR-64: Recognize the regional significance of Renton Municipal Airport for economic development. Also, acknowledge that there are certain impacts to the community with the existence of the airport, such as noise generation, but that these impacts have historically been accepted by the community in exchange for the economic and transportation-related benefits that are also associated with the airport. Policy TR-65: Promote coordinated planning and effective management to optimize the region’s aviation system in a manner that minimizes health, air quality, and noise impacts to communities, including historically marginalized communities. Policy TR-66: Maximize available space on the Airport site for uses that require direct access to taxiways and runways. Policy TR-67: Continue operation of the Airport as a Landing Rights Airport. Policy TR-68: Recognize the benefit of Airport access for emergency medical and disaster response in the community. Policy TR-69: Promote and develop airport facilities and services for all wheeled and float-equipped aircraft, owners, pilots, and passengers in a manner that maximizes safety, efficiency, and opportunity for use. Policy TR-70: Lease airport property for aviation-related uses that create jobs and expand the City’s tax base. Policy TR-71: Maintain the northern shoreline of the airport as the only major publicly-owned seaplane access and protect its use for that purpose. Policy TR-72: Develop appropriate land use plans and regulations for structures and vegetation within the airport’s runway approach zone. ED. Finance, Investment, and Implementation This section contains details of transportation revenue sources that the City can reasonably expect to receive during the life of the transportation plan. Revenue sources contained in the Financial Program vary widely in terms of the amounts available and the types of projects for which they may be used. In most cases, individual transportation projects are funded by a combination of funding sources, reflecting the fact that transportation projects have multiple purposes and serve multiple beneficiaries. Transportation Improvements Through this planning process a full list of transportation improvement projects and programs were considered, however a subset was prioritized to be included in the City’s fiscally constrained project list (Table TR-4) that would fit within the 20-year projected budget. These transportation improvement projects to the City of Renton’s multimodal roadway system will address capacity and operational issues based on the forecast travel demands. The table includes programs covering pedestrian and bicycle travel consistent with the City’s other adopted plans, such as the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Programs covering preservation, traffic operations and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), safety, and transportation project development are also included. Without programs addressing these items, the City’s existing infrastructure will be less efficient and, ultimately, will cost more to reconstruct transportation facilities. Appendix D: Transportation Improvement Project List section summarizes the remaining potential projects considered that did not fit within the fiscally constrained list. Key improvements from other agencies, including Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Sound Transit, King County, and adjacent cities, are also listed to illustrate the interdependence of AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Finance, Investment, and Implementation CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 27 Renton’s transportation element within the regional and sub-regional framework are also listed. To better support the use of alternative travel modes, most of the identified roadway improvements include facilities for pedestrians, and others also include improvements for bicycle travel and improving transit service reliability. The roadway projects focus on improving traffic safety and operations along major corridors. These include adding turn lanes (including center, two-way left-turn lanes) and upgrading traffic signals at major intersections. These include projects along Lake Washington Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Grady Way, Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road, and 116th Avenue SE. In addition to the listed corridor projects, the traffic operations and ITS program provide for adjusting the traffic signal phasing and operations at signals throughout the city. The only project that adds additional travel lanes for a significant distance is the widening of Monster Road between Oakesdale Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Way (SR 900). This project completes the 4/5 lane arterial corridor and would be constructed in partnership with King County. The Transportation Element also incorporates improvement projects from Community Plans and other planning studies. These include the plan to convert the one-way roadways in downtown Renton to two-way operations to support the vision identified in the City Center Community Plan. In addition, the Transportation Element includes the key transportation improvements identified in the Sunset Area Community Planned Action Study, and the Benson Hill Community Plan. Transportation Program Costs In emphasizing multiple travel modes, this plan requires resources to be spread and balanced among all modes. Many of the identified improvement projects address multiple travel modes in an integrated manner. In addition, the City’s Transportation Element relies on WSDOT, Sound Transit, King County Metro and other agencies to fund and implement regional and sub- regional transportation improvement projects. Ongoing transportation planning will include continued refinement of the 20-year transportation plan and costs. As shown in Table TR-3, $82 million (38%) of the City’s transportation costs are for multimodal roadway improvement projects in key corridors throughout the city. Pedestrian, bicycle, and trail projects are estimated to cost $85 million based on the current plans. The remaining $47 million is needed to fund ongoing operations, including street overlays, system preservation, traffic signals, signs, implementation of ITS, and overall administration and development of projects.

AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Finance, Investment, and Implementation CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 30 Inventory of Funding Sources Having established a 20-year transportation funding level of $214 million, an annual average funding level of approximately $11 million would be needed to fully implement the Transportation Element by 2044. Sources of revenue to provide this annual funding need are identified on Table TR-5. The forecast revenues are based on historical data extrapolated out to 2044. From existing transportation revenue sources, the City would be expected to generate somewhere between $150 million and $215 million from 2025 to 2044 for capital projects. This is approximately the total estimated costs of the 20- year list of transportation projects and programs assuming the higher end of range of forecasted revenues. Table TR-5. Summary of 2024 – 2044 Transportation Revenues Existing Revenue Sources Revenue (1,000s) Property Tax, B&O, Fuel Tax $ 1,000 Transportation Benefit District $ 3,500 Traffic Impact Fees $ 500 – 2,000 Real Estate Excise Tax $ 2,000 Transfers from other City Sources $ 3,000 – 5,000 Grants* $ 3,000 Total Annual Transportation Funding $ 13,000 – 16,500 Estimated Sum over 20 Years $ 220,000 – 330,000 Total Annual Funding for Rehabilitation $ 2,900 Estimated Sum for Rehabilitation over 20 Years $ 58,000 Amount Available for Capital Projects Over 20 Years $ 150,000 – 215,000 Note: Estimated revenues based on assessment in 2025 dollars. *Grant application success is out of the City’s control Source: City of Renton, 2025. Existing revenues are not able to keep pace with transportation costs for several reasons, including:  Declining revenue available from several existing sources, such as the half-cent gas tax and grants;  Transportation needs and costs growing faster than available revenues;  Local, state, and federal requirements on transportation improvements lengthening the design process and increasing cost;  Increased needs for preservation of the existing infrastructure;  Additional focus on incorporating complete streets concepts into transportation projects which adds costs due to right-of way and street standards;  The undetermined potential for new funding sources; and  The continued inability of regional agencies to address regional transportation needs. Ongoing transportation planning work will include a review and update of current revenue sources to reflect federal, state, and regional decisions regarding these revenue sources. Should the City’s transportation funding approach result in shortfalls, the City will reassess its land use plan, level of service standards, and funding strategies, accordingly. To help address potential shortfalls in funding, the City is considering two new funding sources and potential future modifications to the existing Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program rates.  Transportation Benefit District (TBD) – The City established a city-wide TBD in August 2023, assumed the responsibilities of the District in October 2023, and adopted an additional tax of one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of sales/use tax in December 2023 for a period of ten (10) years, as allowed under state law. This is projected to AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Intergovernmental Coordination CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 31 generate over $3.5 million (2023 dollars) annually over the life of the plan.  Transportation Impact Fee – The City revised its TIF in 2016. As part of that update, the City set the TIF rate per new PM peak hour trip at the maximum rate developed in the Rate Study (Rate Study for Impact Fees, City of Renton). The City’s current program is focused on improvements that add capacity to roadways and streets that serve growth. With the recent expansion of the Washington State Law in 2023 allowing impact fees to be used for non- motorized modes of travel and with the increased focus on completing key segments of the sidewalk, bicycle, and trails system, the City will be considering integrating other transportation modes into the TIF adapting the fee to a Multimodal Impact Fee which will be integral to the multimodal concurrency program. Specific rates and projects/costs are yet to be fully defined and would be adopted as part of a subsequent change to the City’s existing concurrency requirements (RMC 4-6-070). Preliminary estimates suggest such a program could generate approximately $8 million for separate pedestrian, bicycle, and multi-use trail projects as well as those needed to add capacity to roadways and streets. This Element provides a summary of six and 20-year transportation system proposals (see Level of Service Standards, Design, and Concurrency) needed to support the land use plan. The City has developed a six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that details projects and funding by year for 2025-2030 and the full 20-year multimodal project list (Table TR-4). The unconstrained project list showing all improvements considered are summarized in Appendix D. Policies Policy TR-73: Ensure the transportation system funding and implementation program supports land use policies, advances equity, inclusion, sustainability, safety, and distributes transportation costs equitably. Policy TR-74: Pursue federal, state and local sources of funding (e.g. loans, matching funds) for transportation improvements in an efficient and equitable manner. Policy TR-75: Use business license fees and impact fees charged to new development to fund growth related traffic improvements. Policy TR-76: Coordinate equitable public/private partnerships to help pay for transportation improvements. Policy TR-77: Seek opportunities for multi-jurisdictional cooperation to fund transportation improvements (e.g. joint transportation mitigation systems or funding mechanism) to address the impact of growth outside municipal boundaries on the City’s transportation system. Policy TR-78: Expedite implementation of transportation projects that protect neighborhoods against the impacts of through traffic, improve HOV flow, increase transit service, and enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Policy TR-79: Reassess the Land Use Element, Level of Service standard, and funding strategies if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the Land Use Element, transportation plans, and financing plan are coordinated and consistent. ED. Intergovernmental Coordination A significant amount of travel that occurs in Renton is regional in nature – with either the origin or destination (sometimes both) outside city limits. Effectively managing flow within and through the City requires extensive AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation  Intergovernmental Coordination CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 32 coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, transit service providers, and regional, state, and federal entities. Intergovernmental Coordination Policies Policy TR-80: Develop and maintain relationships between Renton and other agencies and local jurisdictions for cooperative planning of common transportation improvements. Policy TR-81: Continue to coordinate Renton's Transportation Element with adjacent jurisdictions' transportation and land use goals, countywide policies, regional land use and transportation plans, and statewide goals outlined in the GMA. Policy TR-82: Pursue strategies to address inconsistencies (i.e. interlocal agreements) and adjust Renton’s Transportation Element, as needed.

Technical Documentation This appendix documents the technical analyses that supported the update to the Transportation Element. ED. Travel Demand Forecasting To update the City of Renton’s Transportation Element (TE), a customized travel demand forecasting (TDF) model was developed for the City. The model was developed from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) regional trip-based travel demand model. This section outlines the methodology used to customize the model for the City of Renton, update the base year scenario to reflect 2024 conditions, and model validation and calibration to current local conditions. The development of the 2044 future year scenario based on the land use growth assumptions is also described. The travel demand model was used to forecast 2044 intersection turning movement vehicle volumes and future travel mode share. Additional transportation projects needed to support land use growth allocations and to maintain levels of service standards were identified to support the TE update. PSRC Regional Model The PSRC regional model is a traditional four-step travel demand forecasting model that uses land use estimates (people, households, jobs, and students) to generate person trip activity across four counties. The geographic extent of the model includes King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap Counties. The model produces estimates of person trips across several modes (automobile, transit, walk, bike, and freight) and for five time periods (AM, midday, PM, evening, and nighttime). The land use information and person trips are aggregated into 3,700 traffic analysis zones (TAZ) across the four counties. The base year scenario was validated by PSRC to reflect 2014 conditions and the future scenario represents anticipated conditions in 2040. Base Year (2024) Scenario The 2014 base year travel demand model was updated to 2024 conditions by incorporating transportation network improvements within and around Renton. The land use inputs were interpolated using the 2018 and 2050 Land Use Vision – Implemented Targets (LUV-it) data provided by PSRC. The following model inputs were updated to 2024 conditions:  Land use (population, households, jobs, and student enrollment) AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 2  Special generator trips (SeaTac airport, Port Facilities, JBLM, Seattle Center, and stadiums)  External gateway trips (40 roadways at the boundary of the model)  Transit and ferry fares (increase faster than inflation)  Parking costs (increase faster than inflation) Inputs that do not warrant interpolation for a new model year include trip generation rates, trip distribution parameters, mode choice coefficients, time of day constants, roadway tolls, auto operating costs, value of time, and TAZ access variables. These travel behavior variables are assumed to remain consistent in the future. Roadway tolls and auto operating costs were assumed to increase with inflation. Land Use Of the 3,700 TAZs in the PSRC model, 96 TAZs represent the City of Renton. The project team developed 2024 land use estimates for zones within the City of Renton using linear interpolation of city-provided 2022 and 2044 land use growth allocations. Land use outside of the City assumed growth that aligns with PSRC LUV-it data.

Network Detail The model highway, arterial, and transit networks were updated to incorporate the following projects that were built or started operations between 2014 and 2024:  I-405 Express Toll Lanes from Bellevue to Lynnwood  SR 167 HOT Lane between I-405 and City’s limit to the South  I-90 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes between Mercer Island and Seattle  SR 520 widening across Lake Washington  Sound Transit’s Link Light Rail extension north to Lynwood and south to Angle Lake  Sound Transit’s East Link Light Rail between Redmond Technology and South Bellevue stations AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 3 Within the City, speed limits, number of lanes, and capacity on each roadway in the model were also reviewed and updated to match the existing 2024 configuration. Turning restrictions at freeway interchanges within the City were verified as well. The update to 2024 conditions also included a review of transit service (routes and headways) assumed in the base year PSRC model including incorporating the most recent service levels including for King County Metro RapidRide F line. Calibration and Validation Model validation describes a model's performance in terms of how closely the model's output matches existing travel data in the base year. Calibration is the process of iteratively adjusting the model's inputs to achieve the desired validation. This section describes the calibration and validation efforts in developing the City of Renton model. Calibration The most critical measurement of the accuracy of any travel model is the degree to which it can approximate traffic volumes for the base year. The validity of the Renton model was evaluated for both AM and PM peak hour conditions. As part of the calibration process, volume estimates from the model were examined, and where these differed substantially from the observed counts, roadway attributes (such as speed, capacity, and lanes) were reviewed to ensure they reflect existing conditions. Adjustments to roadway capacity and speed, particularly on state routes in Renton, were also incorporated in the model to improve the vehicle routing throughout the City. Adjusting capacity and speed serves as a proxy variable to account for roadway attributes that the model does not explicitly consider (intersection control, traffic signal timing, lane widths, pavement quality, roadway curvature, street lighting, presence of on-street parking, crosswalks, bus stops, number of driveways, traffic calming measures, etc.) that drivers consider when determining a route. Validation Model volumes were compared to available existing traffic counts collected 2023 or newer. More specifically, the comparison was focused on counts on intersection legs on arterials. Six screenlines were drawn using the counts. Screenlines are imaginary boundaries drawn across the street network to determine whether the model's depiction of volumes moving across the City is consistent with the observed volumes. The approximate locations of the screenlines are listed below and shown in Figure 1:  East of Lind Avenue Southwest  South of NE Sunset Boulevard (SR 900)  East of Park Avenue North/Benson Drive South  North of Northeast 4th Street/South Grady Way  West of Duvall Avenue Northeast  North of Southeast Petrovitsky Road/Southeast Carr Road/South 43rd Street/South 180th Street AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 4 Figure 1: Approximate Screenline Locations Source: Fehr & Peers, Google Earth, 2025. The validation results evaluated for AM and PM peak hours are shown in Table 2. Overall, the model is representative of 2024 conditions as total model count to existing counts are within 10% and combined screenline data are within 20% of AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 5 existing counts.

Based on the tabulated results, the model vehicle assignment is validated for the AM and PM peak hour with minor refinements incorporated through the model post-processing. Future Year (2044) Scenario The future year model scenario was developed from a 2040 PSRC-based travel demand model and incorporated recently published 2044 PSRC LUV-it land use estimates. Within city limits, the calibrated and validated base year scenario described in previous sections was used as a starting point in developing the future year scenario. The primary changes to this scenario included land use and transportation improvement projects. Land Use The land use estimates assumed for Renton were developed using the 2044 PSRC land use estimates. The underlying cross- classification demographic data for households, population, and jobs were kept consistent with PSRC assumptions. All other AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 6 land use data (school and university enrollment, general quarters population, and military trips) were taken directly from the PSRC model.

Travel Demand Forecasting Results Table 4 shows the City of Renton daily mode share extracted from the Renton model. Both single-occupancy vehicles (SOV) and high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) will have a smaller share in 2044 compared to 2024. Table 5 shows that between 2024 and 2044, all modal trips will increase with the expected land use growth - the most substantial percent increase is in transit usage, which is expected to rise by 86 percent. Walking and bicycling also show notable increases of 82 percent and 46 percent, respectively, indicating a growing preference for active transportation. Meanwhile, SOV and HOV continue to be the main modes of travel, though the overall vehicle mode share decreases by 2044.

The PM peak hour intersection forecasts were developed using the Renton model's base and future year scenarios methods as described in NHCRP 255. The primary methodology was the difference method, which applies the difference in a turning movement volume between the base and future model scenarios to the observed traffic volume. Intersection forecasts for the City's TE were prepared for 26 study intersections. Depending on proximity to future transportation projects and developments, the increase in intersection volumes between 2024 and 2044 conditions vary by areas in the city. Table 6 shows the percentage growth of intersection volume during both AM and PM peak hours.

Traffic Operations Analysis The City of Renton TE provides a framework to guide transportation investments over the next 20 years. This section summarizes the traffic operations analysis conducted as part of the update to the TE. The subsequent sections outline the methodology utilized in assessing traffic operations and intersection level of service results for existing conditions (2024) and future conditions (2044). Analysis Methodology The performance of roadway intersections within Renton is primarily measured using a standard state-of-the-practice methodology known as level of service (LOS). LOS represents the degree of congestion at an intersection based on the average delay per vehicle at a controlled intersection, such as a traffic signal or stop sign. Individual LOS grades are assigned on a letter scale, A through F, with LOS A representing free-flow conditions with no delay and LOS F representing highly congested conditions with long delays, as described in Table 7 and illustrated in Figure 2. Table 7 shows the definition of each LOS grade from the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology detailed in the 7th edition, which is based on average control delay per vehicle. The methodology captures the average delay for all vehicles entering the intersection and prescribes how the average delay is measured at different types of intersections. Signalized intersections have higher delay thresholds compared with two-way and all-way stop-controlled intersections. Specific to two- way stop-controlled intersections, the delay from the most congested movement is reported and used to calculate LOS. The City’s current vehicle LOS standards for intersections are provided in Table 8. Table 7: Intersection Level of Service (LOS) Descriptions Level of Service Description Signalized Intersection Delay (seconds) Unsignalized Intersection Delay (seconds) A Free-flowing conditions ≤ 10 0-10 B Stable flow (slight delays) >10-20 >10-15 C Stable flow (acceptable delays) >20-35 >15-25 D Approaching unstable flow (tolerable delay) >35-55 >25-35 E Unstable flow (intolerable delay) >55-80 >35-50 F Forced flow (congested and queues fail to clear) >80 >50 Source: Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 7th Edition.

Intersections that do not meet the City’s standard are shaded. Future (2044) Conditions Traffic forecasts based on anticipated land use growth and planned regional transportation investments were developed using the customized Renton travel demand model to help inform future transportation needs. An average growth in vehicle trips on city streets of about 26 percent is anticipated between 2024 and 2044. The growth in vehicle trips could be attributed to the land use growth and major network changes that are documented in the Travel Demand Forecasting sections above. The anticipated performance of roadway intersections and corridors within Renton under 2044 conditions was evaluated using the same methodology as existing conditions. The analysis assumed that all signalized intersections in Renton would be optimized over the next 20 years; however, there were no adjustments to signal cycle lengths as that can have corridor- wide effects. AGENDA ITEM # 8. d) Transportation Element Appendix CITY OF RENTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2024 12 Table 10 presents vehicle LOS results for the study intersections under 2044 baseline conditions during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. Intersections that are forecast to fall below the City’s current standard are shaded gray. The LOS results are also mapped in Figure 4. One of the major upcoming improvement projects in Renton is the grade separation at S Grady Way and Rainier Avenue S. This project proposes a grade-separated tunnel to accommodate eastbound-through (EBT) and westbound-through (WBT) vehicle movements. The intersection LOS calculation incorporated through volumes on S Grady Way that would experience little to no delay with the grade separation project. To address future operational deficiencies, potential mitigation strategies were proposed and tested with the 2044 forecast volumes. The mitigation strategies and resulting peak hour operation results with the proposed mitigation are in Table 11. The analysis finds that the proposed mitigation could resolve the operational deficiencies shown in Table 10 and would meet the City’s current LOS standard. These potential mitigation projects do not guarantee that they will be constructed as implementation depends on many factors including how surrounding land use develops and how traffic volumes grow over time. In addition, these mitigation projects are to help the City achieve their vehicle LOS standards, however vehicle operations are not the only consideration for prioritizing projects into the fiscally constrained project list as increasing vehicle capacity with added turn lanes can make the location more challenging for people to walk, bike, and access transit across wider intersections. Other mitigation projects identified are tied to WSDOT-owned and operated facilities such as SR 167 ramp intersections and crossings, however implementation would be complex and costly. The City is committed to continue coordinating with WSDOT and other agencies to identify operational improvements at state facilities such as at SR 167 and S 43rd Street, SR 167 and SW 41st Street, and the adjacent E Valley Highway and S 180th Street to address existing and forecast congestion.

Traffic Safety Analysis Collision history data from 2020 to 2024, excluding mainline freeway segments such as I-405 and SR 167, was obtained from WSDOT to identify high frequency collision locations in Renton. Key findings during this five-year period include:  5,452 collisions were reported along streets within the city's limits.  147 of these collisions involved pedestrians, and 55 involved bicyclists.  31 collisions were fatal, including 9 involving pedestrians. There were 0 fatal collisions involving bicyclists.  174 collisions resulted in serious injuries, and 51 of these serious injury collisions involved pedestrians or bicyclists. Figure 5 shows all collisions in Renton that are described above. Higher frequency collisions can occur on more traveled roadways such as in the Renton Regional Growth Center, and along major arterials that provide access to freeway facilities. Fatal and serious injury collisions have occurred across the City, generally on arterial streets. Figure 6 shows pedestrian and/or bicyclist-involved collisions in Renton. These crashes have occurred more frequently in the Downtown Renton and Regional Growth Center area, with additional crashes occurring along SE Petrovitsky Rd/SE Carr Rd corridor.

Transportation Project List As part of the City’s Transportation Element (TE), a fiscally constrained project list had been developed to guide transportation planning and project implementation over the next 20 years (Table TR-4). The project list builds on improvements identified in prior planning efforts such as the Sunset Community Subarea Plan (2014), Downtown Civic Core Plan (2018), City Center Community Plan (2015), and other smaller planning efforts. The fiscally constrained project list used a prioritization process that follows a similar methodology to the City’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The ratings across the scoring criteria are qualitative because the intent is to create an initial prioritized list of all the projects and programs to consider over the 20-year planning period. This prioritization does not directly affect how much funding specific projects or programs receive. Prioritization assigned High, Medium, and Low scoring in the following categories:  Life Safety  Plan Implementation  System Integrity  Financial  Directive  Mitigative  Equity Additional Transportation Improvement Projects While not all proposed projects could be included in the fiscally constrained list —primarily due to funding limitations— Table 12 presents the additional transportation improvement projects considered over the next 20-years. This list of unconstrained funded projects are drawn from City plans and community input, and each include an estimated project cost if available. Table 13 presents planned projects by other agencies that are related to Renton.
