Residents, employees, and visitors can access a diverse system in urban and natural settings that are safe and comfortable for users of all ages and abilities. People can recreate, exercise, and/or commute for an active, healthy lifestyle. 6 AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Activities Top Takeaways Online survey (340 total responses) Interactive mapping activity (map site had 1,380-page views and 342 data points) In-person community open houses (3 open houses, 91 attendees) Meetings with technical advisory committee (3) Meetings with regional stakeholders (2) Parks Commission Briefings (3) Committee of the Whole Briefings (3) Walking and biking for recreation is a primary purpose. Preference to walk shorter distances and bicycle trips longer and more frequent. Preference to walk/bike on formal facilities. Cedar River Trail is most heavily used trail. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort is necessary. Connection to transit is important need. Equestrian use was not an identified need. Outreach 7 AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 8 Outreach Results Community Input -Participation Walking and biking are important to Renton residents and visitors. Renton’s local activities match the similarly high participation in the region and state. 8 Mode 2-7 Days Per Week Walking 65.6% Biking 38.7% Running 44% AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 9 Outreach Results Community Input -Walking Community input identified walk problems including lack of sidewalks and connections, as well as, traffic and speeding. Destinations include the Cedar River and May Creek Trails. Many respondents reported walking in areas within neighborhoods, especially in East Plateau, Kennydale, and the Valley near Springbrook. Community Input –Walking AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 10 Outreach Results Community Input -Biking Community comments on biking problem spots were similar to comments about walking. Destinations included the Cedar River, Green River, and Lake Washington Loop Trails, as well as, other neighborhood locations. Biking problems related to concerns about travel lanes and trails, and traffic and safety conditions. Community Input –Biking AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 11 Existing Conditions Existing Trails The City currently has 30 miles of trails of different types –shared use paths that accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists, dedicated bike lanes, and dedicated pedestrian trails. Many trails are located along water bodies and major routes but are not fully connected. Existing Network with Parks & Recreation AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 12 Existing Conditions Community Planning Areas Most existing facilities are in the: City Center, the hub of regional trails like the Cedar River Trail and waterfront park pedestrian trails, and bike lanes. Valley where the Springbrook Trail is located. Community Planning Areas AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 13 Existing Conditions Community Planning Areas Trail miles are proposed to increase in all Community Planning Areas, particularly in the Benson and Highlands neighborhoods. 13 Miles of All Facilities by Community Planning Area AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 14 Destinations Access and Connections Schools: Survey found that kids walk to a large list of schools (12 schools), and to a lesser extent bike to them (6 schools). Parks: Parks and recreation facilities are not fully connected by the trails and bicycle system. Many survey respondents want to access parks, trails, and civic facilities as destinations. Transit: Improving walking and biking infrastructure to appeal to a broad and diverse range of people –elderly, young, low income –can potentially help solve the first and last mile problem and thereby make it easier for more people to access transit. Existing Network with Parks & Recreation AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 15 Needs and Trends Future Growth and Change Over a 20-year planning period concluding in 2035, the City has planned to add 16,700 housing units and over 31,000 jobs. The new residents and employees will increase the demand for all modes of travel including walking and biking. Current Population Density and Trails Current Job Density and Trails Mixed Use Centers, Current LTS Network AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 16 Needs and Trends Level of Traffic Stress •Bicycle systems that provide low traffic stress and high connectivity attract wider usage. •Renton has some low stress routes usable by most adults and children. These are in Kennydale, Cedar River, and Valley Community Planning Areas. •Most of the community is not served by LTS 1 and 2 routes. •The proposed system will close gaps in LTS 1 and 2 routes. 16 Future LTS Network and Full ServiceCurrent LTS Network and Gaps AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 17 Needs and Trends Level of Traffic Stress 17 AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 18 Needs and Trends Equity The Puget Sound Regional Council has evaluated areas that provide access to opportunities – education, economic, housing, transportation, and health/environment. The existing trail and bicycle network contributes to opportunities and access for persons of color, and diverse age groups in the City Center, Valley and a few other community planning areas. The existing network is more sparse in areas of lesser opportunity in the Benson, Highlands, and West Hill Community Planning areas. 18 Existing Network & Opportunity Index Future Network & Opportunity Index AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Benchmarking Renton’s miles of trails per 1,000 population is low compared to other nearby communities.AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Quantity:Quality:Connectivity and Extent (Distribution): Increase miles per 1,000 population served from 0.29 Existing –to 0.44 with Tier 1 Priority Projects –to 0.95 with All Projects. Increase the extent of LTS-1 and LTS-2 facilities to increase user comfort and participation. Increase the share of residents and employees within a quarter mile of facilities.

Most residents walk or bike in Renton in their neighborhoods. Yet existing trail and bicycle facilities serve only about one-third of Renton’s population and about two thirds of employees. Many neighborhoods have limited and disconnected facilities. The City of Renton prepared a Trails and Bicycle Master Plan in 2009, one of few municipalities in Washington State addressing both pedestrian and bicycle modes in one plan. The 2009 plan steered several trail and bicycle lane extensions, and acquisitions for future extensions. (See sidebar.) Building on the prior plan, this Trails and Bicycle Master Plan will guide Renton’s Trails and Bicycle system for the 2019-2025 timeframe. With the Plan, the City can seek funding and partnerships to invest in its historic neighborhoods as well as newer communities annexed with little trail and bicycle facility investments. Extensive community outreach has inspired this plan. By 2025 and beyond, this plan seeks to create one connected diverse system to support Renton’s growing population and thriving economy. The system will increase comfort and encourage all ages and abilities to find destinations, recreate, and commute throughout Renton and the region. WHY PLAN? Eligibility for State Funding An update to this Plan is required every six years to maintain eligibility for grants administered by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). RCO requires jurisdictional applicants to have a plan as a criterion for grant applications. This Plan is intended to comply with all RCO requirements. This plan can also serve as a foundation to seek other The City of Renton, alone and in partnership, implemented projects guided by the 2009 Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Improvements  Cedar River Trail Turnback  Eastside Rail Corridor rail removal (King County lead)  Logan Ave Shared Use Trail  May Creek Trail construction (WRPA Trail and Outdoor Access Award 2015)  Springbrook Trail Boardwalk (WRPA Best Trail Project Award 2010)  Bike Lanes, e.g. NE 4th St and Duvall Ave  Signed Shared Roadways, e.g. Taylor Ave Acquisition & Funding  Lake to Sound Trail: interlocal agreement, construct segment along Black River Riparian Forest to Green River Trail in Tukwila  May Creek Trail Acquisitions: 6 parcels, 14.7 acres  May Creek Trail Property Donations: 4 parcels, 8.4 acres  Sam Chastain Waterfront Trail: Southport Easement, 4 of 4  Tiffany/Cascade Connector acquisition: 1 parcel  Local grants totaling $1,624,500  State Legislative Direct Appropriation: May Creek Trail, $500,000 AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ii regional, state, and federal funding opportunities for non-motorized transportation improvements. Articulates a Vision that Directs Practices This plan includes a Vision for an accessible, diverse, and safe trail and bike system that offers places for active recreation, community connection, and equitable access to destinations and opportunities. This Vision is based on community input and inspired proposed projects intended to increase user comfort and reduce traffic stress to encourage walking and biking throughout the community. Efficiently Manages System This Plan is designed to efficiently manage the trail and bike system by:  Building on the existing regional and local system,  Providing a variety of facility types and phasing to maintain flexibility to respond to different route conditions and funding resources,  Connecting residents and employees with job centers, shopping, recreation, and services to advance economic and community development, and  Serving a diverse and growing population and addressing increased demands on the system. BENEFITS OF WALKING & BICYCLING Well-designed communities with recreation facilities can help Renton residents to lead more active lifestyles benefiting their health and well- being. The built environment can severely constrain routine avenues of physical activity. It is less attractive to walk or bike in areas with no facilities, high traffic, or long distances between origins and destinations. Communities designed for exercise can prevent 90 percent of type 2 diabetes, as well as 50% of heart disease, stroke, and site-specific cancers. There is a 50% increased likelihood that people who live near trails meet physical activity guidelines. (University of Minnesota. August 2007; Journal of Applied Physiology and Public Health Institute in Urban Land Institute 2013) Current System The current system (yellow) serves the City Center, Cedar River, Springbrook Creek, May Creek, Honey Creek, and major arterials but does not cover most of the Renton’s higher density population centers (blue). AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii Those participating in Renton’s online questionnaires in 2017 participate in walking at a rate of about 85%, similar to state survey information. Improving facilities can help reinforce interest and participation. Parks and recreation facilities like trails, and access to centers and open spaces, provide economic value to a community by increasing property values, attracting long-term residents and employers, and supporting tourism. (American Planning Association 2001; Trust for Public Land, 2011) RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS This Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan is designed to implement Renton’s Comprehensive Plan Land Use; Parks, Recreation, Natural Areas and Trails; and Transportation Elements. This Plan establishes the framework for future improvements and is a source of non-motorized project improvements for the City’s Capital Facilities Plan Element, Six-year Capital Investment Program, and the Transportation Improvement Program. This Plan is a companion system plan to the Renton’s Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan. This Plan is designed to be consistent with and leverage community plans such as the City Center Community Plan, Benson Hill Community Plan, and the Downtown Renton Civic Core Vision and Action Plan, and to implement the City Council’s Policy Agenda. PLAN ORGANIZATION This plan is organized in seven sections building from a Vision to a Demand and Needs Analysis to a System Plan with prioritized projects. Community engagement and input informed each component of the plan. Implementation strategies complete the plan and identify monitoring and next steps.

Community Involvement The City conducted an extensive public outreach and engagement process in 2017 to help form this Plan, including:  An online questionnaire with 340 full and partial responses  An interactive online mapping activity attracting 1,380-page views and 342 data points  Three in-person community open houses The Plan Vision describes Renton’s ideal future Trails and Bicycle system: The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan fosters an integrated trail and bicycle system that connects the City’s neighborhoods, community, and region. Residents, employees, and visitors can access a diverse system in urban and natural settings that are safe and comfortable for users of all ages and abilities. People can recreate, exercise, and/or commute for an active, healthy lifestyle. Reflecting the Vision, Goals describe desired results of this Plan: · Improving safety · Creating an accessible and connected system · Promoting physical and environmental health · Achieving equity · Enhancing the economy and community AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vi  Three Technical Advisory Committee meetings, and with regional stakeholders  Two Interagency Regional Trails planning meetings with King County  Project briefings with the Parks Commission, Planning Commission, and the Renton City Council Based on outreach and engagement results, key findings include: 1. Recreation-based walking and biking is still a primary purpose. 2. Respondents preferred to walk shorter distances. 3. Respondents reported longer and more frequent bicycle trips. 4. Respondents preferred to walk and bike on formal facilities, as opposed to street shoulders. 5. The Cedar River Trail is the most heavily used trail. 6. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort is necessary to encouraging more travel and recreation by foot or bike. 7. Connection to transit is an important need. 8. Mountain biking and other more unique forms of bicycling are popular along lakes, streams, and rivers. 9. Equestrian use was not an identified need. See Chapter 3 and Appendix A for Community Engagement details. Demand & Needs for Trails and Bicycle Facilities To meet state requirements for planning, the City needs to define community needs and demand for trail and bicycle facilities. By understanding gaps and trends, the City can develop solutions like projects and actions. Particular needs and demands are highlighted below. Discontinuous Trail and Bicycle Network: Renton’s current trail and bike routes serve several of the highest population and job density areas, though there are gaps particularly in the northeast and southeast parts of the city. Increased Growth and Demand: By 2035, the City has planned to add 16,700 housing units and over 31,000 jobs per the Renton Comprehensive Plan. The new residents and employees would increase the demand for all modes of travel including walking and biking. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vii Limited Low Traffic Stress Routes for Bicycles: Bicycle systems that provide low traffic stress and high connectivity attract wider usage. Bicycle routes can be rated based on the level of traffic stress (LTS) a user experiences. (Mineta Transportation Institute, 2012) Exhibit ES 1 illustrates that lower LTS facilities serve a broader group of users because of increased comfort and safety. Renton has some LTS 1 & 2 routes, which are in Kennydale, Cedar River, and the Valley. Most of the community is not served by LTS 1& 2 routes that offer off-road trails or dedicated and separated bicycle lanes. Exhibit ES 1. Levels of Traffic Stress Source: City of Renton, 2018; BERK, 2018. Discontinuous Access to Destinations: Schools, parks, and employment centers are partially linked by trails and bicycle routes. There are missing links and gaps that deter non-motorized travel. Limited Access to Opportunities: The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) has evaluated areas in terms of access to opportunities – education, economic, housing, transportation, and health/environment. The trail and bicycle network can increase opportunities by providing access for areas of lesser opportunity. The existing network is sparser in a few of the Community Planning Areas of Benson, Highlands, and West Hill (see sidebar and Chapter 2). AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY viii Level of Service A “level of service” (LOS) refers to the amount and quality of trails and bicycle facilities that are necessary to meet current and future needs. A LOS helps establish a capital facility program. Costs and revenue can then be matched, and projects phased to help achieve the planned LOS. The City has developed a three-part LOS addressing quantity, quality, and distribution. Quantity: Increase the miles of trails per 1,000 persons. Quality: Increase the extent of LTS 1 and LTS 2 facilities to increase user comfort and participation. Connectivity and Extent (Distribution): a. Reduce gaps and increase the coverage of facilities within all Renton community planning areas. b. Increase the share of residents and employees within a quarter mile of facilities. By implementing these levels of service, the City can close gaps and meet demands. For example, population and jobs in proximity to LTS 1& 2 network shows nearly all areas of the community would have improved access. See Exhibit ES 2 and Exhibit ES 3. Community Planning Areas The City of Renton has defined 10 Community Planning Areas. Each have different characteristics and needs. See Chapter 2.

The Trail and Bicycle System features a regional hub where the Cedar River trail, Lake to Sound Trail and the connection to the Eastside Rail Corridor connect in the City Center, and an expanded local network of trails. Regional trails connect Renton to other cities and regional destinations that lie to the north, east, south, and west. Local Connector routes tie together multiple Renton neighborhoods to one another and carry more non-motorized trips. Local Neighborhood routes connect destinations within the same neighborhood.

In addition, the City used two qualitative criteria to develop the Highest Priority Projects list (Tier 1): Partnership Commitments and Geographic equity. Since all proposed projects are important to the City, Tier 2 (High Priority) and Tier 3 (Medium) Priority were developed to distinguish the rest of the projects. See Exhibit ES 7 for the overall process. Exhibit ES 7. Prioritization Process Source: BERK, 2018. Once scored, three tiers of projects were developed with Tier 1 identifying the top priority projects for the City. The other two tiers spanned the natural breaks in the scores. Since some projects had identical scores, there were 27 projects in Tier 1, 26 projects in Tier 2, and 27 projects in Tier 3. These proposed projects added 101.9 miles to the Trails and Bicycle network via multiple facilities types.

plan is meaningful when it is implemented. This Master Plan identifies several strategies and future recommendations to develop a unified trail and bicycle system for the Renton community. Monitoring: The City will track its performance periodically to determine progress on plan implementation and to adaptively manage its resources. The Performance measures can potentially include:  Percentage of bicycle facility network completed in gaps, to schools, to parks.  Percentage increase in LTS 1or 2 network.  Percentage of households within ¼ mile of network. Percentage increase in network serving children, elderly, households in poverty.  Percentage increase in access to high density residential or commercial zones, transit, or services. Percentage progress on Tier 1 Projects.  Projects programed and completed in six-year CIP. Phasing and Fee in Lieu: Renton may phase improvements and consider alternative trail and bicycle facility types and cross sections. The City could implement development requirements for trail or bicycle facilities or a fee in lieu. Partnerships: Continue existing and seek new partnerships to advance funding for design and construction of priority projects. Current and Future Funding: Continue existing funding sources and pursue other funding sources that would be dedicated to the provision of trails and bicycle facilities. Requirements: Update city regulations to reference this plan and adopt new regulations that require trail easements for areas where key local or regional trails have been identified in this plan. Incentives: Continue incentive programs, like Commute Trip Reduction programs by large employers develop incentives for developers when amenities for transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians are included in their plans.

The City added jobs in the same period, with employment growing from 55,519 jobs in 2000 to 61,920 in 2018. Median household income has risen to $66,050 today. As the City has grown the proportion of older and younger residents remained relatively constant, hovering at roughly 10% and 23% respectively. Rates of vehicle ownership have also remained steady citywide, with 90-95% of city households having access to a car. However, mirroring regional and national trends, the city has become more racially diverse. The proportion of non-white residents increased from 35% in 2000 to 54% in 2018. Exhibit 2-3. Citywide Demographic Characteristics Source: OFM, 2017; King County Assessor, 2017; PSRC, 2017; On The Map (OTM) (US Census), 2015; 2016 ACS (US Census), 5-Year Estimate; BERK, 2018. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 EXISTING CONDITIONS 14 PLANNING AREA PROFILES The City of Renton and its Potential Annexation Areas are comprised of many distinct communities, each with their own unique districts and neighborhoods. Given the need to plan effectively for this diverse set of communities, the City of Renton and its Potential Annexation Areas are divided into ten geographically distinct Community Planning Areas as shown in Exhibit 2-5. Community Planning Areas share community identity, schools, existing infrastructure, and physical features. Through the Community Planning process, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders develop a local vision and establish policies that address issues of growth, quality of life, design, and capital improvements in their respective planning area. Thus far, Community Plans have been adopted for two Community Planning Areas (City Center and Benson Hill) while others are planned for the future. Overall, existing trail miles in the city limits indicate a concentration of facilities in the City Center which includes a hub of regional trails like the Cedar River Trail, Lake to Sound Trail, connection to the Eastside Rail Corridor, and waterfront park pedestrian trails and bike lanes. An additional concentration of existing facilities is situated in the Valley where the Springbrook Trail is located. See Exhibit 2-4. Recognizing the need for geographic equity, and to address the County’s limited historical investment in large annexation areas such as Benson Hill, this Trails and Bicycle Plan will increase trail miles in all Community Planning Areas. The greatest increases are planned in Benson Hill and Highlands Community Plan Areas – two areas that are currently largely underserved. The following section summarizes demographic and Community Planning Area Characteristics of nine Community Planning Areas within the City and places it in the context of the City as whole. Demographic data shown reflects only those portions of the respective Community Planning Areas that are located within Renton’s city limits. As a result, the Fairwood planning area is excluded as it resides entirely outside the City.

Benson Hill Community Plan Area Characteristics FEATURE SUMMARY Neighborhood Assets and Destinations Assets and destinations include: Tiffany Park, Cascade Park, and Renton Park (King County) provide walking trails, children’s play areas, and recreational opportunities to area residents. Philip Arnold Park is immediately north of this planning area and is accessible to Benson residents via an unpaved road right- of-way owned by Seattle Public Utilities. The Cedar River Natural Area is along the northern boundary of the area. To the east, the Soos Creek Corridor (King County) and Boulevard Lane Park (King County park) offer large natural areas. There is a future Family First Community Center on 116th. The commercial areas, including Cascade Village are key destinations. The Renton School District operates seven schools in the area. Several major utility corridors cross the area, providing informal trails, recreation links, and views. Existing Travel Routes 116th Avenue SE is the central spine of Benson Hill, connecting neighbors to Cascade Village, Cascade and Benson Hill Elementary Schools, and several informal trail networks. 140th Ave SE (existing bike lanes), Benson Road South, and Talbot Road South are used for biking. Puget Drive SE and hiking/walking trails in Cedar River Natural Zone, are heavily used routes. In addition, the City of Seattle water pipeline corridors provide walking routes in the area. Transit Routes Major transit routes are along 108th Ave SE, 116th Ave SE, Puget Drive SE, SE 168th Street, SE Carr Road, SR 169 Renton-Maple Valley Road, and Talbot Road South. Buses 169, 148, 102, and Dart 906 serve the area. Community Input Community input identified the need for walking improvements at the following problem spots for walking: 116th Ave, SE 181st St, SE 182nd St, near Soos Creek Park and trail, areas south of 108th Ave SE south of SE Carr Road, and near Thunder Hill Creek Trail. Locations identified as bicycling problem spots include: Benson Road S, SE 192nd St, 108th Ave SE. Finishing the Soos Creek Trail was also identified as a need.

Three meetings were organized with a Technical Advisory Committee. The City also met with regional stakeholders. Project briefings were presented to the Parks Commission, Planning Commission, and the Renton City Council. Results are summarized in this Chapter with more detailed information in Appendix A. Top Takeaways Based on the outreach the key takeaways include: Recreation-based walking and biking is still a primary purpose. Commuting by bike and on foot is also occurring and could be encouraged more. Respondents preferred to walk shorter distances, around their neighborhoods, mainly for recreation. Walking was not seen as a primary mode of transportation. Respondents reported longer and more frequent bicycle trips. Bicyclists bike within and beyond their neighborhood to trails, work places or school, or civic or recreation facilities. Respondents preferred to walk and bike on formal facilities such as sidewalks, streets, or paved trails. The Cedar River Trail is the most heavily used trail. Not surprisingly, given its central location within the city and its length, respondents cited the Cedar River Trail as the most used non-motorized trail. Trails along other riparian corridors, such as the Springbrook Creek, Honey Creek, and May Creek were less frequently used. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort is necessary to encourage more travel and recreation by foot or bike. Discontinuous or missing sidewalks, walking on roads with fast moving traffic, and difficulty crossing came up as top barriers to walking. Barriers to biking focused on the absence of biking facilities (e.g. paved WALKING AND BIKING IN RENTON 88.5% of the Renton survey respondents walk around the neighborhood. This is consistent with findings in the 2017 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCORP), which showed 89% participation in the Seattle-King region, and 94% across the state. Renton's survey respondents have a higher rate of biking with up to 81.1% biking on a trail and 80.2% biking around the neighborhood. In the SCORP, rates were 28% for biking mostly on streets and roads. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 48 shoulders, bike lanes, shared use paths), dangerous crossings and streets with fast moving cars. The lack of wayfinding was also cited as a potential barrier. Connection to transit is an important need. Transit is often accessed by walking and biking and connections to current and future transit is a key link. Mountain biking and other more unique forms of bicycling are pursued by about a quarter of questionnaire respondents, who enjoy riding along lakes, streams, and rivers. Equestrian use was not an identified need. The questionnaire included questions on horseback riding, but no respondents offered input. Questionnaire The City issued a questionnaire in summer 2017 for nearly three months and received 340 responses (131 full and 209 partial). Respondents are more able-bodied than Census reports for the city. The share of questionnaire respondents with children is similar to Census reports for Renton. Questionnaire respondents are more likely to commute by walking or bicycling than the city as a whole. Results showed:  Purpose of Walking/Biking: Walking, running, and biking activities tend to be more for recreation purposes rather than for transportation.  Frequency: Most respondents walk at least 2 times per week or more, and bike 1 day per week or less.  Destinations: Most respondents walk or bike around their neighborhood or to a public facility. In the case of bicyclists, they also frequently use trails. While respondents visited a wide number of Renton park, recreation, and civic facilities, the most well visited ones were along Lake Washington and the Cedar River.  Traffic Stress: Renton questionnaire respondents indicated that 25% were confident on any road, about 50% were comfortable with roads having some traffic but prefer those with wide shoulders or lanes or trails, and over 20% were concerned about traffic and other factors.  Barriers & Incentives – Walking or Running: Top barriers to running or walking included street crossings, traffic, discontinuous sidewalks, or locations along roads. Top improvements to encouraging walking or AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 49 running, include more curb ramps, sidewalks, more shared-use trails, maintenance, and enforcement of traffic laws and biking.  Barriers & Incentives – Biking: Top barriers to biking include motor vehicle speed, lack of bicycle facilities, too many cars, and routes that are stressful or dangerous. Top improvements include safer intersections, wider shoulders on roads, more shared use trails, and street calming measures in residential areas. Interactive Maps An interactive online map was open to public input from June 10, 2017 to August 31, 2017. The interactive map site had 1,380-page views and 342 data points. Participants could identify areas where they walked or biked, and problem areas. Maps and summaries of comments follow. Walking Based on input received, walk problems included lack of sidewalks and connections as well as traffic, speeding, and other dangerous conditions.

Biking problems related to concerns about travel lanes and trails, and traffic and safety conditions. Based on comments, most bike problem spots follow future alignments of the regional trail system. See Exhibit 3-3 and Exhibit 3-4. Exhibit 3-3. Biking Problem Spots Source: Tag Word Cloud. Destinations included the Cedar River Trail, Green River Trail, Lake Washington Loop Trail, and other neighborhood locations. Comments addressed different connections or safety concerns such as:  Add bike trail between Cedar & Green river trails.  Need a safe bike route connecting to Skyway and West Hill.  Sunset Blvd provides the best grade for connectivity with Highlands, needs bike lanes.  Best bike route up Benson Hill is not clear. Probably old Benson Rd, but need bike lanes to continue. Consider road diet south of Puget.  Very narrow shoulder, difficult connection to Jones Road from Cedar River Trail.  Cars using wrong lane, conflicting with NB left turning bikes and cars.

The purpose of the meetings was to collaborate with King County representatives on possible and preferred routing for the regional trails through the City of Renton, discuss alternative facility types for these corridors, update on the status of the Civic Core planning effort and review proposed cross sections for the corridors in that plan, and review the status of other regional trails/routes. Two meetings were held to identify and agree upon the alignment and facility designation(s) for the regional trails. Detailed meeting summaries, route concepts, and cross-sections are included in Appendix B of this plan. Technical Advisory Committee Community members volunteered to participate in the Technical Advisory Committee for this plan which included additional background and educational discussions to provide feedback for plan development. Important considerations included:  The importance of connecting regional trails  The importance of the transit center as a destination  Recognition that trail users are not as aware of traffic control devices like Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) or C-curbs; this lack of awareness should be addressed in design options  Cost considerations, and related “low hanging fruit” or easy wins are important to elevate as criteria The following trouble spots were identified primarily about bicycling except where noted:  Near Dimmitt Middle School the location of a pedestrian-vehicle crash  Crossing Sunset Blvd. near Harrington  NE Park Drive Freeway ramps  Gate on Houser Way at Kenworth AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 56  NE 3rd street for bikes  Connection on Factory Ave.  Rainier Ave. and Hardy Ave. The following barriers were identified:  Lack of comfort in high speed/volume conditions  Lack of wayfinding TAC members were in agreement with the projects identified in the preliminary list and the conceptual plans for intersections. (See Appendix B of this plan.) THEMES Key themes emerged from the broad input received through outreach activities. The key themes and representative quotes are shown in the Exhibit 3-5. Exhibit 3-5. Outreach Themes Table THEME REPRESENTATIVE QUOTE Safety Safety is a high priority theme that benefits users across the board and encourages less experienced riders to use the trail network. The network should be designed to minimize intermodal conflicts, street crossings, and travel along high speed, high traffic streets. In addition to design features, education and enforcement can improve safety. “I am not willing to walk or ride a bike on the shoulder of a busy or slightly busy road, regardless of whether or not the shoulder is paved, because it is extremely dangerous due to vehicle driver distractions (talking and texting on phone).” “Major intersections can be nerve-racking for bicyclists.” AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 57 THEME REPRESENTATIVE QUOTE Connectivity Connectivity to regional and local destinations such as job centers, entertainment centers and transit, as well within neighborhoods, is an important feature of the network. “There is a lack of bike paths on the major roads that lead to the most popular destinations. I prefer to bike, but it takes longer than necessary because I find myself having to take roundabout ways in order to stay safe.” “I would love to see our bike trails connect all around Seattle like the Sammamish Trail which connects to the Burke - Gilman, then down and around to the waterfront, to Alki, then back to Renton.” “It is too difficult, and dangerous, to bicycle through Renton to connect to major trails leading north, south, and east (Lake Washington Trail, Rainer Ave, Green River Trail, Cedar River Trail.” “The bike trail connection isn't the greatest when riding around Lake Washington and along 405. With the amount of hotels /shopping /parks in the area in North Renton it would be great to improve those connections to existing trails to the north for daily and recreational use.” Continuity Continuity in the network enables longer trips that are useful for commuting or active recreation and a fluid experience. “I love the Cedar River Trail and ride it often from downtown Renton to Maple Valley. However wish it were paved beyond Maple Valley - a road bike doesn't navigate well on gravel.” “I commute from the Highlands to Kirkland. I'm an advanced and confident road rider. Some wonderful improvements have been made to signage and other aspects of driving, but there is no safe way to go up to the Highlands from down in the valley by bike. I tend to go all the way around to Kennydale and climb that big hill to come back to the Highlands rather than risk Sunset.” Comfort and Inclusivity This refers to the diversity of experiences the network will enable, reaching across a broad range of activities, ages, and abilities. “I think that all trails, walkways, paths, etc. should be accessible to ALL.” “I walk for health. I sold my bicycle a few years ago, and have never felt a need to get another one. I am retired, so do not need daily transportation.” “I want to bike and walk...my car trips kill me literally and keep me isolated. I want an outdoor vibrant community.” AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 58 THEME REPRESENTATIVE QUOTE Well-Maintained Trails wear out with time and need sufficient resources to conduct regular maintenance to offer a predictable, consistent experience for all users. “Surface maintenance is a MUST! Most importantly, keeping the shoulders /trails clear of debris.” Wayfinding and Awareness A comprehensive network of wayfinding signage elements tailored for walking and bicycling allows residents to easily navigate the network and make non-motorized and multi- modal trips. “Safe, shared use is possible if ALL users are aware of and follow trail rules.” “There needs to be better signage at all entrance points to the park and along walkways.” Innovative and Flexible Trail design optimizes for successful sharing of the network. Soft surface trails are a desired alternative to paved trails. “Make 2-person soft surface on both sides of national standard width trails so folks can run together.” AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 CHAPTER 4 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS 61 4 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS This Chapter reviews needs and trends including:  Walking and biking activities participation  Future growth and change  Level of traffic stress  Destinations such as transit, schools, and parks  Connection to the community’s center and region Based on the needs and trends, gaps and opportunities are identified. The current and proposed system that closes gaps and addresses needs is benchmarked to peer communities. Level of service concepts are explored. Participation Walking and biking are important to Renton residents and visitors, and Renton’s local activities match the similarly high participation in the region and state. Renton Mobility & Recreation Use & Performance Indicators Renton’s parks and trail system attracts up to 2.5 million visitors each year. In the questionnaire for this Trails and Bicycle Master Plan, most respondents walk at least 2 times per week or more, and bike 1 day per week or less. At least 80% of the respondents walked or biked around the neighborhood, over two thirds walked on a trail and over three quarters biked on a trail. See Exhibit 4-1 and Appendix A. Exhibit 4-1. Questionnaire 2017 Walking and Biking Frequency MODE 2-7 DAYS PER WEEK Walking 65.6% Biking 38.7% Running 44% Source: City of Renton, 2017, BERK, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS 62 Renton monitors mobility and recreation performance indicators in its budget, and the 2017-2018 budget reported:  Increasing satisfaction with connectivity to local and regional centers via transit, sidewalks and trails from 52% in 2011 to 56% in 2015.  Relatively high but variable satisfaction with the level of trail connectivity and access at 74% to 83% during the 2012-2014 period.  Overall customer satisfaction ratings of good to excellent in cleanliness and appearance of Trail System, with 84%-93% satisfaction variably over the 2012-2015 period. State Trails Plan In 2017 a statistically valid participation rate survey across Washington found the top activity of all respondents consisted of walking in a park or trail setting at 84%. Participation equaled 89% considering the Seattle- King region alone. Walking was also the top activity at over 90% for families with or without children. State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning The 2017 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCORP) document considers participation in recreation activities across the state and in different regions. The report found the participation rates for walking was 94% statewide. Rates were 28% for biking mostly on streets and roads, and 23% for running (many locations). Across different ages, races, or incomes, the top recreation activity was consistently walking in a park or trail setting. About 89% of participants in the Seattle-King region participated in walking in a park or trail setting. Most participation locations occurred in a person’s yard or neighborhood. Future Growth & Change Renton’s current trail and bike routes serve several of the highest population and job density areas though there are gaps particularly in the northeast and southeast geographies. See Exhibit 4-2 and Exhibit 4-3 Dense population and job centers are associated with high-density residential and commercial/industrial zones. Over a 20-year planning period concluding in 2035, over 16,700 housing units and 31,000 jobs would be added per the Renton Comprehensive Plan. New residents and employees would increase demand for walking and biking. Much of the growth would occur in the high-density residential and commercial zones identified in Exhibit 4-4, particularly in the City Center.

(Mineta Transportation Institute, 2012) Renton has some low stress routes usable by most adults and children. These are in Kennydale, Cedar River, and the Valley. Most of the community does not have low stress facilities within ¼ mile. See Exhibit 4-5 and Exhibit 4-6. Exhibit 4-5. Level of Traffic Stress Continuum Source: City of Renton, 2018: BERK, 2018. FOUR LEVELS OF TRAFFIC STRESS LTS 1: the level that most children can tolerate. LTS 2: the level that will be tolerated by the mainstream adult population. LTS 3: the level tolerated by cyclists who are “enthused and confident” but still prefer having their own dedicated space for riding. LTS 4: a level tolerated only by those characterized as “strong and fearless.” AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS 67 Exhibit 4-6.

There are numerous private school throughout the City. The Renton School District serves most of the Renton city limits. The district has 15 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools. Renton’s 2017 Trails and Bicycle Questionnaire found that children walk to a large list of local schools (12 schools), and to a lesser extent bike to them (6 schools). See Appendix A. Renton has a sidewalk rehabilitation and replacement program targeting places where curb, gutter, sidewalks, and curb ramps are needed. Many of the schools in the district identify “walk to school” route options, and improvements within those areas would benefit children and families. Parks & Recreation Facilities Renton’s parks and recreation facilities include 32 developed public parks, 965 acres of public open space, an 18-hole public golf course, two lake- front beaches and a public boat launch. Many parks and recreation facilities are accessed along the Cedar River Trail and Springbrook Trail, as well as bike lanes and shared roadways. Pedestrian trails also connect to and through parks and recreation facilities. However, parks and recreation facilities are not fully connected by the trails and bicycle system. See Exhibit 4-7.

The Highlands and Benson neighborhoods have a few all-day routes. Other areas have less frequent service and sparser coverage of transit. The trail and bicycle network to transit facilities is discontinuous in areas outside the City Center. Areas with larger proportions of the elderly, the young, low-income individuals, and households without access to a car are often considered transit dependent. The first and last mile problem, one of the most complex challenges for public transit, refers to the beginning and end of a trip primarily made by public transit. Renton’s Trails and Bicycle Questionnaire responses indicate that Renton residents use bicycles or walk to make short, local trips typically associated with the first and last mile problem. See Appendix A. Improving walking and biking infrastructure to appeal to a broad and diverse range of people – elderly, young, low income – can potentially help solve the first and last mile problem and thereby make it easier for more people to access transit. This would benefit one-third of the community that are younger than 18 and older than 65 years. See Exhibit 2-3 in Chapter 2. Those earning less than or equal to 80% of the area median income are concentrated in the City Center, Valley, Benson, and Highlands areas. See Exhibit 4-8.

The current trail and bicycle network contribute to opportunities and access for persons of color, and diverse age groups in the City Center, Valley, and a few other Community Planning Areas. The existing network is sparser in areas of lesser opportunity in Benson, Highlands, and West Hill. Opportunity maps illustrate where opportunity-rich communities exist, assess who has access to those neighborhoods, and help to understand what needs to be remedied in opportunity-poor neighborhoods.

It is a regional center for manufacturing and service jobs, and increasingly a mixed-use residential neighborhood offering cultural and commercial amenities. Many roads and regional trails converge in this hub. The Renton Library, City Hall, and other government facilities serve the community. Regional parks and trails provide gathering places and access to the Cedar River and other open spaces. Renton adopted a City Center Community Plan to guide the future growth and direction of the center. City Center Community Plan goals include increasing transportation connections for multiple modes, improving trail connections and reaching more destinations, and making civic amenities more accessible. Since the City Center is a multimodal crossroads to other neighborhoods, meeting City Center goals will also advance this Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Goal 5: Provide better regional transportation connections for a range of transportation modes to improve access to and from the City Center. Goal 6: Provide better internal connections between areas within the City Center, especially Coulon Park/Lake Washington, The Landing, North Renton neighborhood, Downtown, and the South Renton neighborhood. Goal 7: Connect regional trails in the City Center and build on these key connections as an economic development strategy. Goal 8: Protect and enhance the natural features and open space in the City Center and improve public access to and connections between the Lake Washington shoreline, the Cedar River, and the variety of parks and open spaces throughout the City Center. The City Center is designated in part a Regional Growth Center and is also slated to take most of Renton’s residential and commercial growth in the next 20 years. Today, single-occupancy vehicles comprise 82% of trips in the City Center. The City’s goal is to decrease drive alone work trips to below 75%. Improving opportunities to bike and walk to and through the City Center will help meet the needs of residents and employees across the Renton planning area. City Center and Regional Trails City Center Plan, Makers 2011 AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 DEMAND & NEEDS ANALYSIS 75 Regional Trails Regional trails in Renton include the Cedar River Trail, Soos Creek Trail, Lake to Sound Trail, and soon the Eastside Rail Corridor and the Lake to Sound Trail. When complete the Eastside Rail Corridor will provide 16.7 miles of new trail that will connect the cities of Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Woodinville. The Lake to Sound Trail, when completed by King County, will be a continuous 16-mile non-motorized, multi-use recreational trail from the south end of Lake Washington in Renton to the Puget Sound in Des Moines, connecting the cities of Renton, Tukwila, Sea-Tac, Burien, and Des Moines. King County has also planned other regional trail extensions with the Soos Creek Trail with the future goal of connection to the Cedar River Trail. See Chapter 5 for additional information on increases in Regional Trail miles. GAPS & OPPORTUNITIES Renton considered the gap analysis and community comments to identify opportunities to create a more connected system with capacity for current and future use. This plan encourages higher participation rates in walking and biking by better connecting users to destinations, reducing traffic stress, and anticipating greater demand from new housing and job growth:  The network increases the extent of facilities in both high population and high job density. See Exhibit 4-10 and Exhibit 4-11.  Nearly every gap is filled with a connecting route meeting LTS 1 or 2 criteria. See Exhibit 4-12.  The future network knits together all Community Planning Areas including those of low opportunity. See Exhibit 4-13.

A LOS helps establish a capital facility program. Costs and revenue can then be matched, and projects phased to help achieve the planned LOS. LOS policies or standards are locally established and up to each community to set. Levels of service are often related to a unit of population, e.g. miles of trail per 1,000 population. In addition to quantity-based LOS measures, communities often consider quality and extent (distribution). This Plan is designed to meet the following three LOS criteria: Level of Service – Quantity: Increase the miles of trails per 1,000 persons. See Exhibit 4-15. Exhibit 4-15. Miles of Trails per 1,000 (2018 – 2035) The Plan will increase miles of trails per 1,000 residents in Renton from its current level of 0.29 miles/l,000 residents in 2018 to 0.44 miles/1,000 residents with the implementation of all highest priority projects and to 0.95 miles/1,000 residents with the implementation of all proposed projects by 2035.

A series of trail alternatives were reviewed with King County and the City of Renton staff. See Exhibit 5-4. Based on the meetings with King County, concepts were developed for Preferred Lake to Sound and Eastside Rail Corridor routes. See Appendix B for preferred concepts and intersection improvements. Other regional trail improvements include the 1.2-mile Soos Creek Trail extension from SE 192nd St to Petrovitsky Road, considered a high priority programmed project in the King County Regional Trails Need Report and the 2014 - 2019 Capital Improvement Program. Other segments including the Petrovitsky Crossing, Renton Park Segment, and the Lindberg to Cedar River Trail, are considered programmed and identified as a Tier 3 priority.

Shared Use Paths are separated from roadways and have the most flexible use and are often implemented with Regional or Local- Connector facilities. Bicycle lanes may be protected, buffered, or striped on Local-Connector facilities. Local Neighborhood routes feature lower volume traffic and a range of Shared Roadways, Buffered Lanes, Neighborhood Greenways, or Soft Surface Trails. See Exhibit 5-7. Exhibit 5-7.

By increasing comfort and offering more buffered or protected facilities, there could be increased non-motorized facility usage. The Trails and Bicycle Plan increases the miles of trail and bicycle facilities that are suited for all or most users – LTS 1 and LTS 2. See Exhibit 5-9. These include facilities such as separated Shared Use Paths, Protected and Buffered Bike Lanes, and others. For a variety of reasons –physical conditions, design considerations, partner requirements, funding, and others – LTS 1 and 2 facilities are not feasible everywhere. When fully implemented, the plan increases LTS 1& 2 facility miles from 23.34 to 112.97 miles, an increase of 398%. Additionally, the plan increases LTS 3 & 4 facility miles from 6.86 to 14.84 miles, an increase of 133%. Overall, the plan increases the ratio of LTS 1 & 2 miles to LTS 3 & 4. See Exhibit 5-9.

A shared-use path can be used by bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other non- motorized users. Some common locations for shared-use paths are along rivers, streams, utility rights of way, and abandoned railroad rights of way and between parks as well as within existing roadway corridors. Example: Cedar River Trail. For the purposes of this plan, the Shared-Use Path standard measurements were used. Physical and financial cost constraints may lead to considering Side Paths, which separation and width would not be ideal. Regional Shared Use Paths, like the Cedar River Trail, were the most used by bicyclists and second-most used locations by walkers per questionnaire results. Route locations along natural areas and separated routes were particularly used and desired by off-road bicycle users such as mountain bikers, BMX users, and Cyclocross users as preferred locations in the questionnaire. See Chapter 3. The Washington State Department of Transportation’s Design Manual suggests: When designing shared-use paths, the bicyclist may not be the critical design user for every element of design. For example, the crossing speeds of most intersections between roads and pathways should be designed for pedestrians, as they are the slowest users.

They provide space that is used for bicycles and are separated from motor vehicle travel lanes, parking lanes and sidewalks. Two-way protected bike lanes are physically separated cycle tracks that allow bicycle movement in both directions on one side of the road. This facility type will be newly implemented in the city and planning area. Exhibit 5-11. Protected Bike Lane Configured as a protected cycle track—at street level with a parking lane or other barrier between the cycle track and the motor vehicle travel lane—and/or as a raised cycle track to provide vertical separation from the adjacent motor vehicle lane. Require additional considerations at driveway and side- street crossings. One-way lane width varies from 5-8 feet exclusive of the barrier.

The City does not yet have an example of a buffered bike lane. Exhibit 5-12. Buffered Bike Lane Separated buffered bike lanes are at grade with the roadway, and they include a bike lane and a buffer area. Buffer: Consider a 3-foot buffer strip whenever possible. Minimum width is 2 feet.

Neighborhood greenways are a large component of added trail and bicycle miles in the City Planning Areas, though no examples exist presently. Exhibit 5-14. Neighborhood Greenway Neighborhood Greenway Typically, residential streets that parallel an arterial route providing a "lower stress" option.Low vehicle volumes and speeds through traffic calming treatments. Safe and convenient crossings of arterial streets. Signs and pavement markings. Could include storm water facilities (low-impact development facilities). AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 101 SIGNED SHARED ROADWAY When right-of-way widths and existing roadway conditions prohibit the addition of dedicated bicycle facilities, a roadway can be designated for shared use by motorists and bicyclists. Typically, this design solution is used on roadways with low traffic speeds and low levels of traffic or with wide curb lanes (i.e. 14 feet minimum). Signed shared roadways may provide a safer alternative to travel on busier parallel routes; direct cyclists toward particular destinations, such as parks, schools, shopping areas; or may serve as a link between discontinuous segments of dedicated bicycle facilities. Because signed shared roadways are often local streets, they may not necessarily be the most direct route. Ideally, signed shared roadways give bicyclists more priority in traffic maneuvers. Example: 116th Ave SE Exhibit 5-15. Signed Shared Roadway Signed Shared Roadway Bicyclists share roadway with motorists for safety, wayfinding, or other purposes No change to roadway configuration required, though routes are often designated with signage and other measures to give bicyclists priority or enhance their safety and comfort Usually on lower volume, speed roadways/local streets. Signage: every ¼ mile, or at every turn Renton, 2009 AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 102 PEDESTRIAN TRAILS Pedestrian trails are dedicated facilities made of a variety of surfaces depending on environmental sensitivity and usage levels. Hard-surface trails can require less maintenance and accommodate more frequent use but are more expensive to construct and may not be sited where there are critical areas. Soft-surface trails can cost less when constructed but are typically not suited for heavy use and may require more maintenance. Boardwalks may be appropriate in wetlands or over water bodies. Exhibit 5-16. Pedestrian Trails Boardwalk Boardwalks Boardwalks are used to span unavoidable wet areas or depressions. It allows adequate drainage and impacts the fragile ecosystem less than other surface types. Example: Springbrook Trail south of SW 27th Street Hard Surface Trail Hard Surface Trails Trails surfaced with asphalt, concrete, crushed stone, soil cement, or other pervious materials. Example: Thomas Teasdale to Cascade Park Trail Soft Surface Trail Soft Surface Trail Trails surfaced with earth, woodchips, or other similar natural and pervious materials. Example: May Creek Trail AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 103 FACILITY DESIGN GUIDELINES Intersection & Trail Crossing Guidelines Well-designed intersections and trail crossings are essential in creating a continuous trail and bicycle system that encourages walking and biking. There are limited pedestrian bridges and pedestrians must cross lanes of travel at intersections; bicyclists are often in the flow of vehicular travel between and at intersections. Separated trails like shared use paths may cross streets. See guidelines for different types of crossings below. Pedestrians at Intersections These intersections, where the paths of people and vehicles come together, can be the most challenging part of negotiating a pedestrian network. If pedestrians cannot cross the street safely, then mobility is severely limited, access is denied, and walking as a mode of travel is discouraged. (FHWA, Undated) Ensuring pedestrian safety and comfort follows these design principles:  Make pedestrians as visible as possible.  Make pedestrian actions as predictable as possible.  Slow vehicular traffic, particularly in central business districts or similar areas. (FHWA, Undated) Treatments at intersections include curb bulbs, curb ramps, signalization, crosswalks, pedestrian refuge islands. Bicyclists The principle objective when designing intersections for bicycle mobility and safety performance is to provide a visible, distinct, predictable, and clearly designated path leading to and through the intersection while managing potential conflicts between all other users and cyclists. (WSDOT Design Manual 2015) The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) suggests several methods for increasing bicyclists’ comfort and reducing the risk of crashes: Bike Box A bike box is a designated area at the head of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase. Crossing Markings Intersection crossing markings guide bicyclists on a safe and direct path through intersections, including driveways and ramps. Through Bicycle Lane Allows bicyclists an opportunity to position themselves to avoid conflicts with turning vehicles at an intersection. Source: NACTO AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 104  Designs should heighten the level of visibility, denoting a clear right- of-way, and facilitating eye contact and awareness with competing modes.  Intersection treatments can resolve both queuing and merging maneuvers for bicyclists and are often coordinated with timed or specialized signals.  The configuration of a safe intersection for bicyclists may include elements such as color, signage, medians, signal detection, and pavement markings. See the sidebar for several design options. More options and details can be found in the WSDOT Design Manual 2015 and the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Second Edition, 2014, and others. Trail Crossings Clearly define who has the right of way and provide sight distance for all users at shared use path and roadway intersections. (WSDOT Design Manual 2015) Two types of trail crossings are common:  Mid-block – preferably placed perpendicular to a road and with traffic right of way assignments; traffic control devices; sight distances for both bicyclists and motor vehicle operators; refuge island use; access control; and pavement markings  Adjacent Path Crossing – at an intersection where the trail crossing is placed within public intersection crosswalks In addition to standards in the WSDOT Design Manual for trail crossings, the City can consult standards and specifications developed by the National Park Service Handbook for Trail Design and Construction and Maintenance, and US Forest Service Standard Trail Plans and Specifications. Transit Stop Integration The first and last mile problem, one of the most complex challenges for public transit, refers to the beginning and end of a trip primarily made by public transit. Renton’s questionnaire responses summarized in Chapter 3 and Appendix A indicate that residents use bicycles or walk Transit as part of a Mobility Ecosystem King County Metro customers will soon be able to use new mobile apps to hail an on- demand shuttle to and from transit hubs throughout the region, starting at the county’s largest park-and- ride…. Metro is creating a mobility ecosystem with transit at the center, moving large numbers of people over longer distances and along the busiest corridors in King County. (King County Metro, October 2018) Transit Integration Prioritizing bicycle routes to transit stops and stations, reducing traffic, and improving bicycle and transit integration (bike parking, bikes on-board capacity) is essential to getting transit customers out of their cars and on a bicycle for the first or last mile of travel. (American Public Transportation Association, September 2018) Bike Sharing Bike share stations can be co-located with transit stops to form mobility hubs. Wayfinding Bicycle wayfinding signage should be used to guide bicyclists to transit stops, especially for rapid services and other transit lines with significance for long trips. NACTO AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 105 to make short, local trips typically associated with the first and last mile to or from the destination. Improving walking and biking infrastructure to appeal to a broad and diverse range of people can help address the first and last mile problem and thereby make it easier for more people to access transit. This plan includes proposed projects that will improve access to high density residential or commercial zones, transit, or services. Likewise, there are many things that transit agencies can do to make transit use more convenient, including: Allowing bikes on board Providing bicycle parking at transit centers or stops Providing for bike sharing Wayfinding along bike routes Ride sharing to transit hubs in low transit service areas Avoid requiring assigned bike spaces Signage This plan promotes a connected system to take trail and bicycle facility users to everyday destinations. A wayfinding plan for signage can help them find their destination or discover a new one. The Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan provides a wayfinding system to link pedestrians and cyclists to parks, trails, and places in the Downtown. The wayfinding system advances the design and character of Downtown. The City anticipates a similar wayfinding approach citywide with variations unique to each neighborhood. Exhibit 5-17. Renton Downtown Civic Core Wayfinding System Source: City of Renton, 2018. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 106 The City may develop route-specific signage and/or pavement markings to guide pedestrians and bicyclists to their destinations along preferred routes. Route designation and guide signs would be installed based on regional standards. Sign spacings may depend on the regional, neighborhood, and local destinations on the route. Bike route signs may be mounted to freestanding posts or to existing utility poles or light standards. In addition to wayfinding guidelines, this plan addresses roadway caution signage and pavement markings. Roadside caution signs and pavement markings follow the standards and guidelines of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the AASHTO Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities. King County promotes regional trail wayfinding elements through a general policy in its King County Open Space Plan: Parks, Trails, and Natural Areas: CIP-151 King County should/shall provide up-to-date mapping and consistent wayfinding throughout the regional trails network to enhance user navigation and travel. Trail wayfinding programs should be consistent with the USDOT MUTCD and regionally-accepted wayfinding programs. King County has also created a King County Regional Trails System (RTS) Arts Master Plan calling for improved signage standards consistent between the County and cities: The RTS needs an appropriate wayfinding approach to signage; this standard should be included in the RTS Design Guidelines. Consider improved signage standards consistent among King County and other jurisdictions, with an eye toward unifying alignments. For the Cedar River Tail in King County, the Art Master Plan calls for Gateway/Trailhead Wayfinding Projects, Elements, and Signage. Site Amenities Bike Parking Guidelines Bicyclists will seek to park as close as possible to their final destination. Per ASHTO guidance, bicycle racks should be located so that they:  Are easily accessed from the street and protected from motor vehicles. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 107  Are visible to passers‐by to promote usage and enhance security.  Do not impede or interfere with pedestrian traffic or routine maintenance activities.  Allow reasonable clearance for opening of passenger‐side doors of parked cars.  Are covered, if possible, where users will leave their bikes for a longer amount of time. Performance criteria for bike parking racks have been developed by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, September 2015, in the Essentials of Bike Parking. Bike racks should be designed to:  Support bikes upright without putting stress on wheels  Accommodate a variety of bicycles and attachments  Allow locking of frame and at least one wheel with a U-lock  Be intuitive to use Bicycle Lean Rails The City of Renton may install bicycle lean rails at intersections allowing bicyclists to rest their arms and feet when waiting at intersections. They have been installed in Seattle along the Burke-Gilman Trail, together with a push button at the intersection to initiate a crossing phase. Exhibit 5-18. Bicycle Leaning Rail Source: City of Seattle. Trailheads and Amenities Trailheads serve as the designated entryways into trails and have clear signage. Features also include vehicle or bicycle parking, information AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 108 stations, informal recreation areas, seating and picnic areas, plazas or gathering spaces, and restrooms. For maintenance and emergency vehicle access, trailheads would be allowed occasional vehicle access. Trailheads may offer various levels of amenities depending on location, need, and expected user groups. Access should be provided and controlled so that ad hoc trails do not occur on private land or on public lands where access is not desired, e.g. environmentally sensitive areas. The following guidelines relate to the development and placement of trailheads and access points.  Trailhead Location: Trailheads should be placed at each terminus of a trail corridor, and any place where a large concentration of trail users is expected, such as at major parks along the trail.  Trailhead Features: Trailheads should at least include parking and a trail map. Trailheads may also include restrooms, drinking water, picnic facilities, benches, optional lighting, bike racks, and other recreational amenities. Site specific designs can also create or enhance neighborhood identity, incorporate public art, and/or provide cultural or environmental interpretation opportunities.  Trailhead Special Parking Designs: Trailheads associated with off- road biking trails or equestrians should provide parking and turn- around space for trailers.  Trailhead Accessibility: An accessible pathway should be developed that connects parking and other accessible elements to the trailhead. ADA access should be provided to as many site features as possible based on site conditions  Trail Access Points: Trail access points should be placed wherever trail access is expected, such as at schools, commercial areas, and parks. Trail access points should include signage identifying the trail and may include a map and drinking water. These access points serve to encourage neighborhood and local pedestrian and bicycle access to the trail system. They provide minimal amenities, most importantly trail system signs. They should be located at approximately one quarter- mile intervals along corridors, particularly along regional trail routes or other routes with large concentrations of uses. Entry nodes typically do not include parking facilities but could have a few standard size spaces depending on needs and circumstances. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 TRAIL & BICYCLE SYSTEM PLAN 109  Landscaping: Typical landscape elements will include grass and trees or shrubs to buffer parking areas from the street. Trees may provide shade relief and accentuate amenities within the trailhead location, and alert trail users to the presence of a trailhead. Informal landscaped areas may offer recreation potential.  Signs: Signs should include general and interpretive signs, location map, and rules/notices. Additional Design Guidance Resources AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities This manual of design standards is recognized nationally as the “industry standard for development of bicycle facilities.” All of the design guidelines included in the recommendations section of this plan will meet the minimum standards articulated in the AASHTO document. WSDOT Local Agency Guidelines This manual identifies specific design standards related to bicycle and pedestrian facility installations. These standards are referenced in the design guidelines. King County Regional Trails Guidelines King County Regional trail guidelines are closely aligned with the AASHTO guidelines but are intended to create and unify the regional network by standardizing regional trail design elements, based on the concerns of safety, convenience, aesthetic experience, and economical maintenance. Some King County regional trails see as many as 2,000 users a day. As such, the regional trail standards are designed to accommodating a large number and variety of users in a safe, efficient, and enjoyable manner.

It also identifies topics meant for further exploration. MONITORING The City intends to track its performance periodically to determine progress on implementation of this plan. Potential monitoring strategies are listed in Exhibit 6-1. Monitoring is recommended biennially in association with updates to the City budget and capital improvement program. Performance measurement is a useful strategy in requesting additional funding and resources. Exhibit 6-1. Potential Monitoring Measures and Targets Source: City of Renton, 2018. PHASING Given local conditions on each route and available funding, Renton may phase improvements and consider alternative trail and bicycle facility types and cross sections. At the project design level, each project will be reassessed to determine the appropriateness of the suggested PRIORITY PERFORMANCE MEASURE Connectivity & Accessibility Percentage of bicycle facility network completed within quarter mile of schools and parks. Safety & Trail Experience Percentage increase in LTS 1 or 2 network. Equity Percentage of households within ¼ mile of network Percentage increase in network serving children, elderly, households in poverty.

AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 122 improvements, and to determine the available right-of-way, etc. When a project is in the development phase, a topographic and right-of-way survey will provide the first clear picture of the actual conditions of the route, and it may be necessary to implement a different design solution or combination of design solutions than are shown in this plan. In addition, there may be development of other capital projects or changes in funding strategies that dictate a different cross section or facility classification than the one currently identified. PARTNERSHIP & FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES Partnerships The City’s trail and bicycle system is an integral part of the county and state transportation and park system. Key regional and state partners include:  Cities of Newcastle, Issaquah, Kent, Tukwila, and others  King County Parks  King County Metro  Renton, Issaquah, and Kent School Districts  Sound Transit  Washington State Department of Transportation The City has planned in partnership with these agencies to develop this plan, and these partners can advance implementation of this system through joint design, funding, and coordination. The City seeks to work with additional partners, such as Seattle-King County Public Health which is advancing a healthy communities program, and the Puget Sound Regional Council with a Regional Open Space Strategy. Funding The City of Renton includes non-motorized capital investments in the annual Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is adopted annually by the City Council. The 2019-2024 TIP has programmed funding AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 123 to implement some of the projects identified in the Trail and Bicycle Master Plan:  $1,450,000 Walkway program.  $1,850,000 Intersection Safety & Mobility Program.  Project level implementation of pedestrian and bicycle routes per this plan (e.g. Lake Washington Loop Trail). The funding can be used for planning, design, and construction phases of the projects as well as for local matches for state and federal grants. Although it may not be the primary purpose of a particular project or program, many TIP projects have the potential to assist in implementing projects within the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) provides matching grants for trail acquisition and development and is open to local and state agencies. Grant applications are received on even calendar years. Many funds require a comprehensive plan, such as this master plan. Funds that are open to local agencies include:  Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) - Provides funding to buy, protect, and restore aquatic lands habitat and to provide public access to the waterfront. Projects must be associated with navigable waters of the state.  Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) - State Program. Provides funding to buy or develop public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Grants support both acquisition and development of active and passive recreation areas and conservation lands. Public use is required.  Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) - Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program. Provides funding to buy or develop public outdoor recreation areas and facilities in, or serving, urban areas with 50,000 or more people. Grants support both acquisition and development of active and passive recreation areas and conservation lands. Public use is required.  Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program, Trails Category (WWRP) - Provides funding to acquire, develop, or renovate pedestrian, equestrian, bicycle, or cross-country ski trails. Program is for non-motorized trails that provide connections to neighborhoods, communities, or regional trails. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 124 In 2007, King County voters approved Proposition 2, which included expanding the regional trail system over a six-year period, with the last distribution to cities ending in 2013. In 2013, King County voters approved a second, six-year levy (Proposition 1) which provides for trail acquisition and development; the last distribution will be in 2019. King County is considering placing a third levy on the ballot for voters to approve in 2019 which could also be used for trail acquisition and development. REQUIREMENTS & INCENTIVES Implementing Standards at Time of Development The City has enacted ordinances that give it authority to require developers to implement the trail and bicycle cross sections and projects in this plan.  Street Frontage and Off-site Street Improvements (RMC 4-6-060): To implement trail and bicycle standards, the City can require that facilities that are within the right of way are implemented with street frontage improvements consistent with the standards in this plan and the City’s development regulations pertaining to streets. When offsite improvements are required to support new development, the City can require implementation of pedestrian and bicycle improvements as part of its street standards.  Shoreline Public Access Requirements (RMC 4-3-090): The Shoreline Master Program also requires shoreline public access when demand is created and is another regulatory program that can advance trails in shoreline jurisdiction. In the near-term, the City can amend its environmental review procedures (RMC 4-9-070) to include this plan in its SEPA Substantive Authority, and development that would impact the trail and bicycle system could be conditioned to mitigate impacts, such as implementing improvements that serve as mitigation. The City already adopts its Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Improvement Program, and Parks, Recreational, Natural Areas (PRNA) Plan, and this Trails and Bicycle Master Plan can be similarly included. The City can also adopt regulations that require trail easements when a development is located within an area identified for a local or regional trail system in this plan. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 125 Incentives There are two types of incentives relevant to this plan:  Incentives for Individuals: The City can continue to require commute trip reduction programs by large employers, who can incentivize their employees to use non-motorized forms of commuting or transit. The City can also support and encourage federal and state tax incentives or subsidies to encourage bike and transit commuting.  The City can provide development incentives when amenities for transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians are included and being implemented. Where improvements are not required for new development, but extension of trail or bike facilities is planned, the City could incentivize voluntary trail and bicycle project implementation such as through density or height bonuses for new development or allowing onsite density transfer from trail corridors to other developable parts of the site. Fee in Lieu The City could allow or require development to provide trail or bicycle facility improvements or pay a fee in lieu when it is not in the City’s interest to have the improvement installed at the time of permit. This may occur when the expected improvement is a short segment of a longer trail improvement and the work should be done all at once. The City allows a fee in lieu of required street improvements in RMC 4-9-060. E-bike & Motorized Foot Scooters Electric bikes and motorized foot scooters are finding popularity in major cities across the country. These types of vehicles increase more use of trails and bicycle facilities because they assist with speed and sloped terrain. The State regulates motorized foot scooters and local communities may pass their own regulations. A motorized foot scooter is a device with no more than two 10- inch or smaller diameter wheels that has handlebars, is designed to be stood or sat upon by the operator, and is powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor that is capable of propelling the device with or without human propulsion. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 126 The City restricts motorized foot scooters in any park, trail, or sidewalk, or on streets with a maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour, or any corridor marked “No non-motorized vehicles.” Recently, the State passed SB 6434 in 2018 regulating different types of electric bikes and where they may be allowed on bike lanes or trails. Similar to Motorized Foot Scooters, the City could determine how to regulate E-Bikes as allowed under State law. COMMUNITY EDUCATION & PROMOTION Events & Promotion Renton can promote awareness of the trail and bicycle system by advertising its system in its recreation program, city newsletter, online, and elsewhere. The City can also continue providing online or print maps and other materials. The City could increase recreation and community events in association with trails and bicycle facilities including fun runs, races, and other activities to promote awareness and use of the system and promote health and fitness. The City could also support guided walking and biking tours illustrating key routes and how to access key destinations. Guides could be volunteers. The City can work in partnership with King County Metro on expanding its transit to trail program that was launched in the Issaquah Alps area. Safety & Awareness Trail and bicycle safety has many facets. Potential actions to increase safety include:  The City can provide user safety and etiquette tips and rules on how pedestrians and bicyclists share facilities.  The City can advertise and support other entities who are providing safety and awareness programs such as the School District.  The City can implement design standards that promote crime prevention through environmental design that influence landscaping, lighting, and location of facilities. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 127  Code enforcement officers and police officers can enforce City laws and reduce civil and criminal infractions.  Continue to expand Renton’s Trail Ranger Program. FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS Incorporate Trails and Bicycle Master Plan in Citywide Comprehensive Plan The City references the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan in the Transportation Element. The Comprehensive Plan could be updated to reflect the 2019 plan vision, goals, and policies. Explorations in Multimodal Transportation Levels of Service The City’s Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element identifies a multimodal level of service addressing person trips by motor vehicles, transit, and non-motorized (bicycle and pedestrian) modes. Person trips are the number of persons making the same trip in the same mode of travel. Using person trips provides a common metric for use in concurrency and also impact or mitigation fees. Policy T-48: A. Citywide Person Trips: Based on the City’s land use and growth strategy, establish a citywide level of person trips by mode, and support each mode with capital improvements and programs. The general mode categories include: motor vehicle trips, transit trips, and non-motorized trips. The City has established a person trip bank for motor vehicle trips. The City could establish a bank of non-motorized person trips and link it to capital improvements. Utilize Prioritization Criteria for Sidewalk Plan The City completed a Comprehensive Walkway Study in 2008 that prioritized needed sidewalk projects. Feedback through the community outreach included an emphasis on sidewalks and walkways. The City could incorporate the prioritization methods used in this plan in updating the Comprehensive Walkway Study for complete network integration. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN CITY OF RENTON JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 128 Vision Zero Started in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero is an approach to traffic safety for all users that sets a goal of zero traffic deaths or severe injuries through holistic, integrated action strategies. As an approach, Vision Zero includes several fundamental principles that differentiate it from traditional approaches to road safety. The City can consider whether and how to implement a Vision Zero program. Implementing Vision Zero typically involves the following practices:  Build and sustain leadership, collaboration, and accountability: In addition to strong and visible commitment from the Mayor and Council, large-scale, cross-sector collaboration that includes transportation, public health, law enforcement, policy makers, elected officials, and community members is key to successful implementation.  Collect, analyze, and use data: Data should drive all stages of Vision Zero planning, from strategy development, to ongoing management, evaluation, and predictive planning. Collecting, analyzing, and using data will need coordination across city departments. Local knowledge and community input are also important to supplement quantitative data.  Prioritize equity and engagement. Vision Zero planning should include effective, meaningful community dialogue to gather input from diverse voices on the issue of road safety.  Lead with roadway design that prioritizes safety.  Manage speed to safe levels. This is a central tenet of Vision Zero and includes strategies such as designing roads for lower speeds, setting and communicating safe speed limits, and enforcing these limits.  Maximize technology advances, but don’t overlook low-tech solutions. Over the longer term, innovation in automated vehicles and other technologies offer opportunities for improvements in safety. In the shorter term, relatively inexpensive, low-tech improvements such as the addition of side guards, cameras, and mirrors on large vehicles and trucks (since large vehicles are disproportionately involved in crashes) can save lives. AGENDA ITEM #1. b) CITY OF RENTON RENTON TRAILS AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN JANUARY 2019 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 129 A foundational element to implement the Vision Zero approach is the creation of a Vision Zero Action Plan that operationalizes these principles. The Action Plan includes broad community input and lays out specific measurable action steps, priorities, with clear timelines for implementation. Increase Local Funding for Non-Motorized Facilities The City could pursue other funding sources dedicated to the provision of trails and bicycle facilities. One such source is to collect mitigation fees from new development that creates a demand for service, requiring mitigation to reduce adverse impacts on the built environment. The City could condition development if it has identified impacts in environmental documents prepared under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Impacts could be determined by measuring the number of person trips that development generates on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. To implement the SEPA mitigation fee, the City could develop and publish a study of expected demand and person trip rates, and then apply it to development subject to SEPA. Fees that are collected must be expended within 5 years of receipt.

Additional meetings were organized with a technical advisory committee, and with regional stakeholders. A broad range of input was gathered from these engagement activities. Comments from citizens and stakeholders are organized below. Clear themes relevant to the vision emerged from this feedback and are synthesized below as well. Top Outreach Takeaways Recreation-based walking and biking is still a primary purpose. Commuting by bike and on foot is also occurring and could be encouraged more. Respondents preferred to walk shorter distances, around their neighborhoods, mainly for recreation. Walking was not seen as a primary mode of transportation. Respondents reported longer and more frequent bicycle trips. Bicyclists bike within and beyond their neighborhood to trails, work places or school, or civic or recreation facilities. Respondents preferred to walk and bike on formal facilities such as sidewalks, streets, or paved trails. The Cedar River Trail is the most heavily used trail. Not surprisingly, given its central location within the city and its length, respondents cited the Cedar River Trail as the most used non-motorized trail. Trails along other riparian corridors, such as the Springbrook Creek, Honey Creek, and May Creek trails were less frequently used. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort is necessary to encourage more travel and recreation by foot or bike Discontinuous or missing sidewalks, walking on roads with fast moving traffic, and difficulty crossing came up as top barriers to walking. Barriers to biking focused on the absence of biking facilities (e.g. paved shoulders, bike lanes, shared use paths), dangerous crossings and streets with fast moving cars. The lack of wayfinding was also cited as a potential barrier. Connection to transit is an important need. Transit is often accessed by walking and biking and connections to current and future transit is a key link. Mountain biking and other more unique forms of bicycling are pursued by about a quarter of survey respondents, who enjoy riding along lakes, streams, and rivers. Equestrian use was not an identified need. The survey included questions on horseback riding, but no respondents offered input. Potential Themes Key themes emerged from the broad input received through outreach activities. Themes and representative quotes are shown in the following matrix: AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 3 Exhibit 1. Outreach Themes Table Theme Representative Quote Safety Safety is a high priority theme that benefits users across the board and encourages less experienced riders to use the trail network. The network should be designed to minimize intermodal conflicts, street crossings, and travel along high speed, high traffic streets. In addition to design features, education and enforcement can improve safety. “I am not willing to walk or ride a bike on the shoulder of a busy or slightly busy road, regardless of whether or not the shoulder is paved, because it is extremely dangerous due to vehicle driver distractions (talking and texting on phone).” “Major intersections can be nerve-racking for bicyclists.” Connectivity Connectivity to regional and local destinations such as job centers, entertainment centers and transit, as well within neighborhoods, is an important feature of the network. “There is a lack of bike paths on the major roads that lead to the most popular destinations. I prefer to bike, but it takes longer than necessary because I find myself having to take roundabout ways in order to stay safe.” “I would love to see our bike trails connect all around Seattle like the Sammamish Trail which connects to the Burke -Gilman, then down and around to the waterfront, to Alki, then back to Renton.” “It is too difficult, and dangerous, to bicycle through Renton to connect to major trails leading north, south, and east (Lake Washington Trail, Rainer Ave, Green River Trail, Cedar River Trail.” “The bike trail connection isn't the greatest when riding around Lake Washington and along 405.With the amount of hotels /shopping /parks in the area in North Renton it would be great to improve those connections to existing trails to the north for daily and recreational use.” Continuity Continuity in the network enables longer trips that are useful for commuting or active recreation and a fluid experience. “I love the Cedar River Trail and ride it often from downtown Renton to Maple Valley. However wish it were paved beyond Maple Valley - a road bike doesn't navigate well on gravel.” “I commute from the Highlands to Kirkland. I'm an advanced and confident road rider. Some wonderful improvements have been made to signage and other aspects of driving, but there is no safe way to go up to the Highlands from down in the valley by bike. I tend to go all the way around to Kennydale and climb that big hill to come back to the Highlands rather than risk Sunset.” Comfort and Inclusivity This refers to the diversity of experiences the network will enable, reaching across a broad range of activities, ages, and abilities. “I think that all trails, walkways, paths, etc. should be accessible to ALL.” “I walk for health. I sold my bicycle a few years ago, and have never felt a need to get another one. I am retired, so do not need daily transportation.” “I want to bike and walk...my car trips kill me literally and keep me isolated. I want an outdoor vibrant community.” AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 4 Theme Representative Quote Well-Maintained Trails wear out with time and need sufficient resources to conduct regular maintenance to offer a predictable, consistent experience for all users. “Surface maintenance is a MUST! Most importantly, keeping the shoulders /trails clear of debris.” Wayfinding and Awareness A comprehensive network of wayfinding signage elements tailored for walking and bicycling allows residents to easily navigate the network and make non-motorized and multi-modal trips. “Safe, shared use is possible if ALL users are aware of and follow trail rules.” “There needs to be better signage at all entrance points to the park and along walkways.” Innovative and Flexible Trail design optimizes for successful sharing of the network. Soft surface trails are a desired alternative to paved trails. “Make 2-person soft surface on both sides of national standard width trails so folks can run together.” Outreach Results 1. QUESTIONNAIRE Participants: 340 (131 full, 209 partial) Date: June 10 to August 31, 2017 Advertisements: Fliers, open house, emails, website Questionnaire High Points Demographics Respondents are more able-bodied than Census reports for the city. The share of Questionnaire respondents with children is similar to Census reports for Renton. ▪ Questionnaire respondents’ percentage with limited mobility 4%, less than Census reports for city residents identifying an ambulatory disability at 6% (ACS 1-Year 2016). ▪ Households with children under 18 years that walk: 55 of 181 respondents or about 30%. Most respondents’ children walk around the neighborhood (87.9%), to or along a trail (60.3%), to a park/library/public place (48.3%), and to school (24.5%), or other destinations (12.1%). ▪ The share of respondents with children that walk is similar to the share of City households with one or more persons under 18 at 29.6% (ACS 1-Year 2016) though the Census does not track how many children walk. Purpose and Frequency Walking, running, and biking activities tend to be more for recreation purposes rather than for transportation. Most respondents walk at least 2 times per week or more, and bike 1 day per week or less. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 5 Exhibit 2. Recreation Frequency: Walking and Biking Mode Respondents 2-7 days per week 1 day per week or less Never Walking 269 65.6% 28.9% 5.60% Biking 269 38.7% 60.4% 0.9% Running 57 44% 56% -- Questionnaire respondents are more likely to commute by walking or bicycling than the city as a whole. ▪ Questionnaire commuters that walk daily 11.1%, greater than Census reports for city residents at 2.4%. ▪ Questionnaire commuters that bike daily 9%, greater than Census reports for city residents at 0.1%. Where/Destinations Most respondents walk or bike around their neighborhood or to a public facility. In the case of bicyclists, they also frequently use trails. Exhibit 3. Where do you walk or bike? Location Walk Bike Around the neighborhood 88.50% 80.20% Along a trail 67.80% 81.10% To a park, library or other public facility 50.30% 43.40% To transit 21.90% 20.80% To work (or school) 20.20% 40.60% Other destination(s) 14.20% 22.60% Total respondents not known. Greatest number responding to a single option: 162 Walk, 86 Bike. As shown above in Exhibit 3, 88.5% of the Renton Questionnaire respondents walk around the neighborhood. This is consistent with findings in the 2017 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCORP) document. The SCORP considers participation in recreation activities across the state and in different regions. The report found the participation rates for walking was 94% statewide. Across different ages, races, or incomes, the top recreation activity was consistently walking in a park or trail setting. About 89% of participants in the Seattle-King region participated in walking in a park or trail setting. Most participation locations occurred in a person’s yard or neighborhood. Renton's Questionnaire respondents have a higher rate of biking with up to 81.1% biking on a trail and 80.2% biking around the neighborhood. In the SCORP, rates were 28% for biking mostly on streets and roads. The first and last mile problem, one of the most complex challenges for public transit, refers to the beginning and end of a trip primarily made by public transit. Questionnaire responses indicate that AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 6 residents use bicycles or walk to make short, local trips typically associated with the first and last mile to or from the destination. Improving walking and biking infrastructure to appeal to a broad and diverse range of people can help address the first and last mile problem and thereby make it easier for more people to access transit. Areas with larger proportions of the elderly, the young, low-income individuals, and households without access to a car also benefit from improvements to non-motorized travel, since these population groups are often considered transit dependent. Facilities Used While respondents visited a wide number of Renton park, recreation, and civic facilities, the most well visited ones were along Lake Washington and the Cedar River. Exhibit 4. Which parks, libraries or other public facilities do you walk or bike to? Walk Bike Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park 58.90% 53.30% Cedar River Trail Park 55.60% 62.20% Cedar River Park 50.00% 64.40% Renton Public Library 46.70% 37.80% Total respondents not known. Greatest number responding to a single option: 53 Walk, 29 Bike. Most respondents use the Cedar River Trail (82.6%, 100, Walk; 97.6% of Bicyclists, 81), and to a lesser extent May Creek and Springbrook Trails. Children walk to a large list of local schools (12 schools), and to a lesser extent bike to them (6 schools). The School District identifies a walkshed for each school. Children also walk to a similar list of parks and facilities as for adults overall, and to shopping and other locations. The City’s 2008 Sidewalk Assessment and approach to Safe Routes to Schools should be considered. Traffic Stress A May 2012 study by Mekuria and Furth, Mineta Transportation Institute1, found that “[f]or a bicycling network to attract the widest possible segment of the population, its most fundamental attribute should be low-stress connectivity, that is, providing routes between people’s origins and destinations that do not require cyclists to use links that exceed their tolerance for traffic stress, and that do not involve an undue level of detour.” Renton Questionnaire respondents found nearly 25% were confident on any road, about 50% were comfortable with roads having some traffic but prefer those with wide shoulders or lanes or trails, and over 20% were concerned about traffic and other factors. 1 See https://transweb.sjsu.edu/research/low-stress-bicycling-and-network-connectivity. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 7 This level of comfort or discomfort of Renton respondents based on traffic and road conditions is similar to a study of physiological reactions to different road conditions in Portland, Oregon: Results show that on the same route: (a) stress levels during peak-hour traffic are higher than during off-peak traffic; (b) signalized intersections are hotspots for cyclists’ stress; and (c) average stress levels on on-street facilities are higher than on off-street facilities. Statistical tests clearly show that separated facilities are associated with lower stress levels than other types of facilities. (Caviedes, 2016) Exhibit 5. When you bicycle on the road, which of the following best describes you? Description Percentage Respondents I am very confident riding in mixed traffic on any type of road 23.1% 24 I am comfortable riding on roads with some traffic, but prefer to ride on roads with wide shoulders or bike lanes, or on paved trails 50.0% 52 I ride occasionally or would like to ride, but am concerned about traffic, hills, distances and the weather 21.2% 22 I do not bicycle on the road and probably never will 5.8% 6 N=104 The results together with geospatial analysis will inform the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan about where and how to reduce traffic stress.

MAPPING RESULTS An interactive online map was open to public input from June 10, 2017 to August 31, 2017. The interactive map site had 1,380-page views and 342 data points. Participants could identify areas where they walked or biked, and problem areas. Maps and summaries of comments follow. Walking Based on input walk problems included lack of sidewalks and connections as well as traffic, speeding, and other dangerous conditions. Most pedestrian problem spots were identified in the East Plateau, North Highlands, and mid-Kennydale Planning Areas. Exhibit 9. Walking Problems Word Cloud Source: Tag Word Cloud The range of comments included: ▪ Nice walk, but would feel much safer with sidewalk (Kennydale area). ▪ No sidewalk for most of this very busy road (Sunset area). ▪ Need signage and wayfinding to connect to Cedar River trail. ▪ Missing ADA ramp. ▪ There is no way to get up and down the hill safely between Carr Rd. and SE 200th St.... That’s a 1.25-mile sidewalk desert. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 11 Destinations included the Cedar River Trail and May Creek Trail. Many respondents reported walking in neighborhoods on the Renton plateau (East Plateau Community Planning Area), as well as in the valley near Springbrook Trail and Black River Trail (Valley Community Planning Area).

Community Input Walking AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 12 Source: City of Renton 2018 Biking Community comments on biking problem spots were similar to comments about walking. Biking problems related to concerns about travel lanes and trails, and traffic and safety conditions. Based on comments, most bike problem spots follow future alignments of the regional trail system. Exhibit 11. Biking Problem Spots Source: Tag Cloud Comments addressed different connections or safety concerns such as: ▪ Add bike trail between Cedar & Green river trails. ▪ Need a safe bike route connecting to Skyway and West Hill. ▪ Sunset Blvd provides the best grade for connectivity with Highlands, needs bike lanes. ▪ Best bike route up Benson Hill is not clear. Probably old Benson Rd, but need bike lanes to continue. Consider road diet south of Puget. ▪ Very narrow shoulder, difficult connection to Jones Road from Cedar River Trail. ▪ Cars using wrong lane, conflicting with NB left turning bikes and cars. (Renton/Kent border) ▪ I ride around this area as the bridge is too narrow and unsafe, I have nearly crashed many times on this bridge.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSES Input at the community open houses included neighborhood specific feedback on needed improvements, as well as preferred connections and routes. No input on equestrian facilities was received. Needed improvements included: ▪ Intersection improvements along the Cedar River Trail downtown, Houser Way and Lake Washington Boulevard, and the NE 6th and NE 8th at Logan Avenue N. ▪ Improvements for SW 7th to make it more bike-friendly ▪ Sidewalk improvements across neighborhoods Preferred Connections and Routes included: ▪ Completion of the proposed Sam Chastain trail segment and the Soos Creek Trail north of 192nd St. (King County responsibility) ▪ Completion of Burnett Linear Park, South and North in Civic Core ▪ Houser Way was cited by many as the preferred alignment of the Eastside Rail Corridor 4. KING COUNTY MEETINGS Coordination with King County Parks and Recreation Division, Capital Projects Program, and Governmental Relations was essential to plan development with the convergence of four regional trails within Renton’s Urban Growth Area: The Cedar River Trail (CR), Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC), Lake to Sound Trail (L2S), and the Lake Washington Loop Trail. •35 persons •Preferred routes and facility types •Thoughts on potential routes •Problem spots •Wish list projects •Projects to complete •General concerns and ideas Open House 1 •26 persons •Regional Trail options •Preferences on network •Questions about facility designation •Plan Priorities Open House 2 •30 persons •Regional Trail preferences •Final Network options •Facility type discussion •Prioritization and project preferences Open House 3 AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 16 The purpose of the meetings was to collaborate with King County representatives on possible and preferred routing for the (Eastside Rail Corridor, Lake To Sound, and Cedar River) regional trails through the City of Renton, discuss alternative facility types for these corridors, update on the status of the Civic Core planning effort and review proposed cross sections for the corridors in that plan, and review the status of other regional trails/routes (Soos Creek, Lake Washington Loop). Two meetings were held to identify and agree upon the alignment and facility designation(s) for the regional trails. Detailed meeting summaries, route concepts, and cross-sections are included as an appendix to the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Highlights are provided below. ▪ King County representatives were supportive of strong connections among the regional trails in the downtown core. There was also support for the alternative facility standard of protected bike lanes and sidewalks. There was consensus among the City and King County representatives on the preferred alignment of the ERC, L2S, and CR trails through Renton. ▪ King County representatives described the example of successful partnerships with the business community (Microsoft, Google, Swedish and others) and stakeholders along the ERC. Potential partners for the Plan include both employers and community organizations:  Eastside Greenway Alliance  Boeing  Paccar  Hyatt  Small technology companies new to the city  Rotary Club  Chamber of Commerce ▪ Ferry (foot service) across Lake Washington was discussed as a potential complement to non- motorized connections. ▪ King County continues to work on the challenges along the BNSF rail corridor pertinent securing to leases from BNSF for the Lake to Sound Trail and extending the ERC adjacent to Coulon Park within BNSF right of way. ▪ King County representatives emphasized the importance of identifying and enhancing the connection from regional trails to the new Transit Center on Grady Way. King County representatives encouraged connecting the Burnett Trail to the relocated Transit Center. ▪ King County representatives were in general agreement with the projects identified in the preliminary list. 5. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS Community members volunteered to participate in the Technical Advisory Committee for this plan which included additional background and educational discussions to provide feedback for plan development. ▪ Important considerations included:  The importance of connecting regional trails AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 17  The importance of the transit center as a destination  Recognition that trail users are not as aware of traffic control devices like Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) or C-curbs; this lack of awareness should be addressed in design options  Cost considerations, and related “low hanging fruit” or easy wins are important to elevate as criteria ▪ The following trouble spots were identified primarily about bicycling except where noted:  Near Dimmitt Middle School the location of a pedestrian-vehicle crash  Crossing Sunset Blvd. near Harrington  NE Park Drive Freeway ramps  Gate on Houser Way at Kenworth  NE 3rd street for bikes  Connection on Factory Ave.  Rainier Ave. and Hardy Ave. ▪ The following barriers were identified:  Lack of comfort in high speed/volume conditions  Lack of wayfinding ▪ Questions focused on:  Alignment with regional plans and comparison of the proposed network with other agency and city plans from entities such as the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), King County, Seattle, Kent, Tukwila, and Newcastle.  Connection of Honey Creek path alignment to Sunset Blvd. and May Creek Trail  Connection of Thunder Hills Creek Trail to Cedar Avenue S. and Grant Avenue S.  Opportunities for public to provide input on an ongoing basis after the planning process is complete ▪ TAC members were in agreement with the projects identified in the preliminary list and the conceptual plans for intersections. Community Walking and Biking Potential A nationwide survey of sports and leisure preferences was conducted by GfK MRI in a nationally representative survey of U.S. households, and ESRI, a geospatial products company, has developed an analysis tool that compares the demographics of a community (e.g. City of Renton) to the relative likelihood that that community would have a greater likelihood to participate in the activity compared to the national average. A market potential index (MPI) of greater than 100 shows a greater likelihood than average to participate and an index of less than 100 shows a lesser likelihood. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 18 Results show that Renton households (HH) or adults are more likely than the national average to walk, run/jog, or bike.

This is the first of two planned meetings, with the expectation there will be resolution on the alignment and facility designation for the regional trails by the end of the second meeting. Discussion DESIGN CONCEPT x After introductions, and statement of purpose and goals, MacLeod Reckord presented the preferred and alternative alignments for the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC), Lake to Sound (LTS), and Cedar River (CR) Trails through the City. Rationale was given for selection of the preferred route and there was general consensus on those routes early in the meeting. x The range of facility types for regional trails was presented by MacLeod Reckord and discussed. It was noted the KC standard of shared use path with gravel shoulders would not be appropriate in the urban segments of the corridors, and alternative standards showing a protected bike lane and sidewalk were discussed. x KC representatives stated support not only for making strong connections through the downtown core with the regional trail alignment, but also for alternative facility standards such as the protected bike lane and sidewalk cross section. SUPPORT FOR THE VISION x KC described the very successful partnerships that are being established with the business community and stakeholders along the ERC (Microsoft, REI, Google, Swedish named) through Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, and encouraged Renton to engage with the Eastside Greenway Alliance to work with third parties who could provide additional support for development of these trail corridors. KC offered to provide points of contact. Renton businesses mentioned as being important stakeholders in these discussions included Boeing, Paccar, Hyatt, and numerous smaller (new) tech companies (5300 jobs) coming into the area. x The Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce were identified as potential stakeholders who could provide plan support and engage with businesses. x Ferry (foot) service to Lake Washington is in discussion and would be another benefit supporting improvements to the non-motorized system in the vicinity of the lake. x KC recommended the Redmond Central Connector powerpoint presentation as a good visual and marketing tool for promoting and securing businesses/stakeholders to support the concept of trail construction through the business core. x Pop-up events, simulations, visuals can be more compelling than simple identification of ‘projects’. The prospect of a fuselage chugging through town on a flatbed was noted as highly unique and extraordinary by visitors (less so by locals); the idea of locating bleachers and posting schedules for its arrival was kicked around and not dismissed entirely. The overall message in this conversation was these are examples of some of the unique aspects of Renton that should be embraced, marketed, and displayed. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 3 BOEING x Boeing has developed segments of trail along the future proposed ERC corridor but the segments are private “behind the fence”. Some opportunities to engage with Boeing to encourage them to collaborate with King County and the City of Renton on a public trail were identified: o There are employee groups (trail advocates) that are supportive of public/regional trail connections through this segment – identify and engage them. o Boeing likely has trip reduction requirements that need to be met as well as a regional trail facility in immediate proximity to their facility. x City of Renton clarified that Boeing’s requirement for providing public trail access on their property is only a condition in the EIS once they are at full expansion. BNSF x The challenges along the BNSF corridor were discussed. KC had some success at one point getting BNSF to talk about the option of extending the ERC trail in the BNSF corridor adjacent to Coulon Park, but discussions ceased; since then there has been no response from the railroad. The City of Renton has had similar challenges. x In addition, KC has not yet obtained leases from BNSF for the Lake to Sound Trail connecting Tukwila to Renton. It would be desirable to extend the Lake to Sound Trail along the BNSF corridor to the east toward Rainier Avenue. Options discussed included approaching the private property owners to the south of the BNSF ROW (many have loading zones, parking areas in this area) to see if there is potential for a narrow area of acquisition. It was noted that there are several sidings that the adjacent property owners don’t want to lose because they represent value or potential value to tenants. x The City of Renton confirmed that railroad use is on the average of one train per day for Boeing; Rabanco also uses the line as far as Hardie/Shattuck. WSDOT, SOUND TRANSIT, OTHER x There was discussion about the current status of the Transit Center funding, and the importance of identifying and enhancing connections from the regional trail to the new location at Grady Way. x KC noted that Sound Transit is (fiscally) supportive with projects providing access within ½ mile of the station. x KC cited working in partnership with Redmond to lobby Sound Transit on particular issues related to ERC development/access. KC agreed to work with the City of Renton regarding Sound Transit project advancement. x The City of Renton noted that Sound Transit projects are opening up in 2024; future projects included Bus Rapid Transit implementation and (WSDOT) Bellevue to Renton Bus Rapid Transit development. x KC noted the ERC to Ripley Lane connection will happen in conjunction with WSDOT widening. KC will provide information to the City of Renton. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 4 CIVIC CORE x Fehr and Peers provided background and input on the status of the Civic Core project, specifically focusing on the corridors identified for regional trail connections. The Civic Core process is moving ahead of the Trails Plan schedule, so it is imperative there is resolution on these issues and agreement between the two plans. x There was considerable discussion about the merits of the various cross sections and alternative configurations along the “Burnett Trail” segment. Specifically where, and whether transit and parking were to be provided; where the best location for raingardens and tree planting would occur; sidewalk, parking, and travel lane widths. x King County encouraged Renton to connect the Burnett Trail to the relocated Transit Center at Grady Way. x The City of Renton will provide Fehr and Peers with traffic count information in order to more fully evaluate Burnett Avenue north of Second Avenue and south of Third Avenue to 5th Street. OTHER TRAIL CORRIDOR DESIGN ISSUES x Some design concepts that will be considered along the Burnett Trail include: o Reduction of travel lanes to 11’. o Possible elimination of center turn lane between Second and Third. o Configuring protected bike lane in a way that provides greater separation from travel lanes. o Ensuring walkway does not become ‘cluttered’, with effective width being constrained, with utility poles, mailboxes, light poles, benches/amenities, hydrants, etc. Provide adequate width and create pockets for these amenities/infrastructure. o Relocation of play area to accommodate trail through park. x Review opportunities for enhancing/celebrating the 3 nodes/points of the triangle where trails converge. x Identify and address other big challenge areas, one named in particular was the Logan and Burnett intersection. x The City of Renton noted there is potential for vacating parking on the south side of Houser – it has been discussed at Council level. x Be sure to include alternative alignments in preferred plan, as those routes may be used as interim routes. x The City of Renton will provide information being generated by Otak on the design of the Logan and Airport Way intersection. OTHER ISSUES x King County noted that the Soos Creek Trail connections are not off the table, just lower on the priority list for now. x The City of Renton noted that the one Trail the public desires the most is completing the Soos Creek Trail north of 192nd. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 5 Next Steps: x The next meeting will include: o Formalizing the preferred option for connecting the ERC, Lake to Sound, and Cedar River Trail. o Identifying alternative routes for each of the three regional trails. o Identifying trail cross sections for varying segments of both the preferred and alternative routes. o Providing conceptual cross sections noting ROW width at strategic locations along the alignment, for purposes of identifying critical challenges that may be to be addressed by multiple parties. o Identifying how both the Trails plan and the Civic Core plan will show corresponding project improvements through the corridors identified for the regional trails. The second coordination meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24, 2017, from 9:00am to 11:00am at Renton City Hall. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Update RRenton/King County Regional Trail Discussion #2 October 24, 2017 9:00 am to 11:00 am Renton City Hall Meeting Summary Participants King County Parks (KC) Kevin Brown, Director, Parks and Recreation Division Jean White, Government Relations Administrator, DNRP/Parks, Capital Planning and Land Management Sujata Goel, Government Relations Administrator Tri Ong, Capital Project Manager – Parks Engineer, PE Mike Ullmer, Project/Program Manager Jason Rich, Capital Project Manager City of Renton (COR) Vicki Grover, Transportation Planning & Programming Manager Jim Seitz, Transportation Systems Director Kelly Beymer, Community Services Administrator Leslie Betlach, Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Angie Mathias, Long Range Planning Manager Cailin Hunsaker, Parks & Golf Course Director Consultant Team (MR) Connie Reckord, MacLeod Reckord (MR) David Saxen, MacLeod Reckord (MR) Aaron Gooze, Fehr and Peers (FP) Purpose The purpose of this meeting was to reconvene with King County representatives to discuss and resolve preferred routing for the (Eastside Rail Corridor, Lake to Sound, and Cedar River) regional trails through the City of Renton, identify the most likely facility type for each of the corridors identified in the route, discuss strategies for implementation, and provide an update AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 2 on the status of the Civic Core planning effort. This is the second of two planned meetings and is expected to result in decisions that will be carried forward in the final recommendations presented in the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Update. Discussion INTRODUCTION AND RECAP x After introductions, MacLeod Reckord provided an overview of what had been discussed and decided in the first meeting, held on September 22, 2017. Some discussion ensued regarding the schedule for review/approval and adoption of the Civic Core Plan and the importance of resolving solutions that would be consistent for both planning efforts. Currently the three regional trails do not connect and stop at or near the downtown core area. x MacLeod Reckord provided an explanation of the Regional Trail alignment graphics, noting the plan and sections identify two of the regional trail corridors – Lake to Sound Trail and Eastside Rail Corridor. The network shows connection to the existing Cedar River Trail but no extension of the Cedar River Trail was proposed. x The graphics also show alternative alignments, but without corresponding sections illustrating proposed facility types along those routes, the rationale being that the range of possible options was so great as to be difficult to determine the best facility type for the entire corridor (e.g.: was the alternative route a short-term or long-term option; would this be an interim route or the final route; what would the funding source be; what other likely development scenarios along the route would impact facility design; etc.) x The trail alignments include sections defined by distinctive attributes. Each section provides one or more options representing slightly different trail locations or optional facility types. See the boards (attached) for additional information on challenges and benefits of each option. LAKE TO SOUND TRAIL x SECTION 1 – The western segment extending from the planned end of trail near Naches Ave SW to Hardie Ave SW. The recommended alignment is on the south side of the rail lines, with options to locate the trail high on the embankment (same elevation at the tracks and between the main and spur lines), or low on the embankment (removing the spur line). An optional alignment on the north side of the mainline is described. Major points of discussion among the group: o Whether the spur could in fact be vacated (need to coordinate with BNSF); understanding the volume/frequency of use of spur line; whether Rabanco still uses this line; and whether property acquisition (south) is possible if spur line cannot be vacated. o All options (n/s, high/low) may need to be put forth to BNSF for discussion and will be included as a record of the process (appendix items). o The new BNSF contact may be more receptive to discussion of a joint use of corridor. There was a recommendation to convene a meeting with local BNSF AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 3 representative(s); King County would be the lead). A multi-jurisdictional approach may be more effective with an appeal to changing community needs – more non- motorized connectivity and increased rail/trail development nationwide. o Businesses in this corridor include an auto dealership, a strip mall, light industrial, a county health building, and office buildings. Security will continue to be a concern as there are transients. King County indicated there may be a possibility of an easement acquisition if businesses are willing. o The option showing the trail between the main line and spur line was determined most undesirable, as it would require numerous acute approaches to rail crossings and would be well inside the set back/clearance zone defined by BNSF for both the main and spur lines. x SECTION 2 – The middle-west segment located between Hardie Ave SW and Rainier Ave S. Recommended alignment is on the south side of the rail lines, again with options high on the embankment or low on the embankment. Optional north side of mainline was also considered. Major points of discussion included: o Show all options (n/s, high/low) when in discussion with BNSF; Hardie Ave crossing can be at grade; Rainier Ave S crossing would be better above grade. x SECTION 3 – The middle east segment located between Rainier Ave S and Burnett Ave S. Recommended alignment is on the south side with options high on the embankment or located in the Houser Way ROW as a shared street. Major points of discussion included: o High bank is preferred to maintain continuity to the west, especially if BNSF has approved high bank alignment further west. The Houser Way ROW shared street could be an inexpensive interim (or long term) solution. o A Woonerf concept was well received by the North Riverside Drive residents along the Cedar River Trail and may also be well received here. x SECTION 4 – The Houser Street corridor Recommended alignment is on the south side of the street, changing from shared use path to pedestrian/protected bike lanes configuration due to significant reduction in available space. Major points of discussion include: o North vs. south for non-motorized improvements will be an issue questioned by businesses along this segment and will require further evaluation of north vs south with pros/cons; state rationale for choice. o Some noted observations – south side leads directly to Cedar River Trail connection and Tonkin Park is on the south side. o There are concerns about the NACTO minimal width (8’) shown for a 2-way protected bike lane; consider leaving a 6’ walk and dedicating 10’ (with lighting/amenities in this zone) for bikes. o There was considerable discussion and a variety of opinions about how and whether to delineate/separate uses to include providing a visual only barrier between pedestrians and bikes; providing no distinction between bikes and pedestrian users making it less like a bike facility; creating mixing zones at intersections; and providing some type of vertical separation between bikes and the rail. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 4 o A second option might include elimination of parking/vehicular. Eliminating parking would need to be promoted by characterizing options for a more ‘interesting and attractive’ street. o The high crown of the street will impact the street cross section, curbs and drainage as the rail segment is higher than the finish floor elevation of the adjacent businesses. The current section as shown is not possible. o Options for a connection to the Cedar River Trail were discussed and will be further evaluated in the conceptual study for the intersections of the regional trails (in the main body of the Trails Plan). EAST SIDE RAIL CORRIDOR x SECTION 1 – N 6th Street to Park Avenue N The recommended solution is unclear and dependent upon further discussions with Boeing and having a better understanding of future road widening efforts. Major points of discussion include: o Limited space requires either construction outside existing ROW onto Boeing property through acquisition or easements, or rechannelization of existing roadway to accommodate a side path. o If the trail is located outside the existing ROW high level discussions will be required between the City and Boeing and in the future may involve the mayor and other regional leaders to include King County. Renton will coordinate with King County regarding this approach. o Accommodating a facility inside the existing ROW is likely a non-starter, as City has plans for lane expansion of Logan through this segment. Note: the existing ROW width will not accommodate the lane expansion without additional ROW acquisition. x SECTION 2 – Park Ave N to Garden Ave N Recommended side path on west side, where adequate room exists without requiring acquisition or making changes to existing roadway channelization. Major points of discussion include: o Logan/Park is already a level F intersection. o Existing bike lanes on both sides of roadway could be eliminated with the addition of side path on west side; question asked how bikes would access the landing from the ERC – crossings would have to occur at Garden Ave N or Park Avenue N; it was suggested that additional roadway width captured from dropping bike lanes could go to boulevard planting. CIVIC CORE PROJECT There was some discussion about the proposals being considered for the Civic Core Project (“Burnett Trail” segment), with acknowledgement that there would be coordination on final recommendations between the two projects. Discussion included: o Burnett Trail connecting at Houser Way. o Burnett Trail as the link to the relocated South Renton Transit Center AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 5 o Burnett Trail extending north to the Cedar River Trail and crossing at Logan Avenue to the Lake Washington Loop Trail. PRODUCT FOR FINAL REPORT x Lake to Sound Trail Plan – show all discussed recommended alignments; redline alignment as currently shown, green line low bank, yellow line north side to make options clear. Show cross sections reflecting these options. Identify options that seem viable at this stage. x Eastside Rail Corridor – show connections through the Civic Core planning area, with reference to that planning effort. x Show alternative alignments on the plan so as not to eliminate them from consideration if preferred alignments cannot be achieved. x State pros/cons of all options. x These exhibits, including meeting notes, will be a standalone in the report appendix. Next Steps: x City/King County will continue to plan for discussions with BNSF and Boeing. x Plans will be coordinated with those being developed for the Civic Core project. x Cross sections will be further developed to reflect the additional options discussed for the segments noted above. These cross sections and revised plans will be included in the appendix of the final report.

PROJECT SHEETS AGENDA ITEM #1. c) AGENDA ITEM #1. c) INTRODUCTION The proposed trails and bicycle network comprises individual routes or segments that connect at intersections to form the low stress network. Most of the routes follow streets and are within the public right of way. Some existing and proposed segments are within private or quasi-public property, such as utility company property, and require agreements and/or easements to be im- plemented. Other network segments are within Renton Parks property. Projects are defined as contiguous segments of a route serving a neighborhood, connecting im- portant destinations, such as schools or transit stops, or completing gaps in regional trails. They are generally scaled to implementable in one or two phases. Most projects have one contiguous non-motorized facility type, but some have two or more facility types due to differing right of way characteristics or property constraints. The project sheets are arranged alphabetically. CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATES Project costs for bicycle and pedestrian facilities will vary greatly depending on right of way characteristics, cost of materials, the specific facility design and scope of the improvements. When available, an order of magnitude cost range is provided for each project. EXISTING CROSS-SECTION The existing cross-section description for each project includes the lane configuration, but not the dimensions of the lanes or curb-to-curb distance. The methodology employed in this plan uses the number of travel lanes as one of the factors that determines the level of traffic stress for a route. Travel lane width can affect vehicle speeds, and thus the bicycle level of traffic stress, but was not inventoried and is not documented on the project sheets. Cross-section information is for typical street segments and does not take into account turn lanes and additional through lanes that often occur at intersections. SPEED LIMIT Vehicle speeds are also one of the factors used to determine the existing level of traffic stress of a route. Where relevant, existing posted speed limits are provided for each project. FACILITY TYPES A range of facility types to achieve a low-stress trails and bicycle network are proposed in this plan. The facility types assigned to different projects are conceptual design guidelines and not specific to the exact dimensions and condition of each right of way or easement. In some cases, one or more alternate facility types are suggested that may provide more separation from traffic and result in a safer, more comfortable facility. Additional feasibility studies will be required to C. PROJECT SHEETS I AGENDA ITEM #1. c) verify the suitability of each facility prior to project implementation. These studies may address property acquisition, roadway channelization or widening, and on-street parking modification, among other issues. Each facility type also has design variations that will need to be considered upon design devel- opment of the project. For example, protected bike lanes can have a range of treatments for the barrier separating the bicycle facility from the vehicle travel lanes, such as delineator posts, planter boxes, or concrete barriers. Selection of a variant will generally depend on the safety, cost, and return on investment of the project. LOCATION MAPS Each location map shows the proposed project segment or segments.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION DOCUMENTATION AGENDA ITEM #1. c) AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 1 Project Prioritization January 2019 | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan As part of outreach in fall 2017, the City of Renton drafted prioritization criteria with the community: ▪ Safety and Trail Experience ▪ Connectivity and Accessibility ▪ Equity ▪ Economy and Community ▪ Construction and Implementation Eighty projects were scored with prioritization criteria. Each category was weighted with Connectivity and Accessibility and Safety and Trail Experience weighted more highly, Equity weighted moderately, and Economy and Community and Construction and Implementation weighted lower. For each category, indicators or variables were developed. For each indicator, project evaluation criteria were developed, and each rated on either a 3-part high, medium, or low range or a 5-part high, medium-high, medium, medium-low, and low range. The table below addresses the indicators and variables. The Attachment provides more detail and definition of the scoring. Exhibit 1. Prioritization Criteria and Indicators Category Indicators/Variables Connectivity and Accessibility Weight: 30% Does the project: Fill a gap between existing facilities, or Fill gap in area with no/few facilities, or Remove pedestrian and/or bicycle barriers? To what extent does this project improve pedestrian/bike access to schools? Does this project offer connections to parks, recreation, or natural areas? Safety and Trail Experience Weight: 30% Does the project increase the extent of the low stress (LTS 1 or 2) network? Does the project enhance the natural environment experience? Does the project address a known issue regarding user experience (intersections, slope/terrain, lighting, wayfinding, formalize informal trail, etc.)? Equity Weight: 20% Does the project reach a large number of people and jobs? Does the project improve bicycle or pedestrian access for users older than Age 64 and/or users younger than Age 18? Does the project improve bicycle or pedestrian access for the city's Households in Poverty? AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 City of Renton | Project Prioritization 2 Category Indicators/Variables Economy and Community Weight: 10% Does the project leverage plans or priorities? Does the project improve access to high density residential or commercial zones, transit, or services? Does the project reflect public feedback? Construction and Implementation Weight: 10% Is the project a strong candidate for possible grants? To what extent can the project be implemented with future construction? Is the project reasonably attainable? Is the cost reasonably balanced with potential benefits? Source: City of Renton, 2018; BERK, 2018. Tiers & Results Once scored, three tiers of projects were developed: Highest Priority, High Priority, and Medium Priority. The City used two qualitative criteria in addition to prioritization scores to develop the Highest Priority projects list (Tier 1): partnership commitments and geographic equity. Thus, the top scoring projects include the highest scoring projects, plus projects with known commitments, and projects that are opportunistic, feasible in the near term, enhance connectivity across planning areas, or assist with geographic equity. Since some projects had identical scores, there were 27 projects in Tier 1, 26 projects in Tier 2, and 27 projects in Tier 3. Exhibit 2. Prioritization Process Source: BERK, 2018. Project tiers are nearly equal in length, but Tier 1 projects emphasize Shared Use Paths, and complete all Protected Bike Lanes. Striped Bike Lanes are also increased. Implementation of Neighborhood Greenways is initiated but is a smaller share than in later phases. Tier 2 continues to advance Shared Use Paths, adds Striped Bike Lanes, and adds Neighborhood Greenways, plus implements most Pedestrian Trails. Tier 3 completes the network with the emphasis on Neighborhood Greenways, as well as Striped Bike Lanes, and Shared Use Paths.

Additional meetings were organized with a technical advisory committee, and with regional stakeholders. A broad range of input was gathered from these engagement activities. Comments from citizens and stakeholders are organized below. Clear themes relevant to the vision emerged from this feedback and are synthesized below as well. Top Outreach Takeaways Recreation-based walking and biking is still a primary purpose. Commuting by bike and on foot is also occurring and could be encouraged more. Respondents preferred to walk shorter distances, around their neighborhoods, mainly for recreation. Walking was not seen as a primary mode of transportation. Respondents reported longer and more frequent bicycle trips. Bicyclists bike within and beyond their neighborhood to trails, work places or school, or civic or recreation facilities. Respondents preferred to walk and bike on formal facilities such as sidewalks, streets, or paved trails. The Cedar River Trail is the most heavily used trail. Not surprisingly, given its central location within the city and its length, respondents cited the Cedar River Trail as the most used non-motorized trail. Trails along other riparian corridors, such as the Springbrook Creek, Honey Creek, and May Creek trails were less frequently used. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort is necessary to encourage more travel and recreation by foot or bike Discontinuous or missing sidewalks, walking on roads with fast moving traffic, and difficulty crossing came up as top barriers to walking. Barriers to biking focused on the absence of biking facilities (e.g. paved shoulders, bike lanes, shared use paths), dangerous crossings and streets with fast moving cars. The lack of wayfinding was also cited as a potential barrier. Connection to transit is an important need. Transit is often accessed by walking and biking and connections to current and future transit is a key link. Mountain biking and other more unique forms of bicycling are pursued by about a quarter of survey respondents, who enjoy riding along lakes, streams, and rivers. Equestrian use was not an identified need. The survey included questions on horseback riding, but no respondents offered input. Potential Themes Key themes emerged from the broad input received through outreach activities. Themes and representative quotes are shown in the following matrix: AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 3 Exhibit 1. Outreach Themes Table Theme Representative Quote Safety Safety is a high priority theme that benefits users across the board and encourages less experienced riders to use the trail network. The network should be designed to minimize intermodal conflicts, street crossings, and travel along high speed, high traffic streets. In addition to design features, education and enforcement can improve safety. “I am not willing to walk or ride a bike on the shoulder of a busy or slightly busy road, regardless of whether or not the shoulder is paved, because it is extremely dangerous due to vehicle driver distractions (talking and texting on phone).” “Major intersections can be nerve-racking for bicyclists.” Connectivity Connectivity to regional and local destinations such as job centers, entertainment centers and transit, as well within neighborhoods, is an important feature of the network. “There is a lack of bike paths on the major roads that lead to the most popular destinations. I prefer to bike, but it takes longer than necessary because I find myself having to take roundabout ways in order to stay safe.” “I would love to see our bike trails connect all around Seattle like the Sammamish Trail which connects to the Burke -Gilman, then down and around to the waterfront, to Alki, then back to Renton.” “It is too difficult, and dangerous, to bicycle through Renton to connect to major trails leading north, south, and east (Lake Washington Trail, Rainer Ave, Green River Trail, Cedar River Trail.” “The bike trail connection isn't the greatest when riding around Lake Washington and along 405.With the amount of hotels /shopping /parks in the area in North Renton it would be great to improve those connections to existing trails to the north for daily and recreational use.” Continuity Continuity in the network enables longer trips that are useful for commuting or active recreation and a fluid experience. “I love the Cedar River Trail and ride it often from downtown Renton to Maple Valley. However wish it were paved beyond Maple Valley - a road bike doesn't navigate well on gravel.” “I commute from the Highlands to Kirkland. I'm an advanced and confident road rider. Some wonderful improvements have been made to signage and other aspects of driving, but there is no safe way to go up to the Highlands from down in the valley by bike. I tend to go all the way around to Kennydale and climb that big hill to come back to the Highlands rather than risk Sunset.” Comfort and Inclusivity This refers to the diversity of experiences the network will enable, reaching across a broad range of activities, ages, and abilities. “I think that all trails, walkways, paths, etc. should be accessible to ALL.” “I walk for health. I sold my bicycle a few years ago, and have never felt a need to get another one. I am retired, so do not need daily transportation.” “I want to bike and walk...my car trips kill me literally and keep me isolated. I want an outdoor vibrant community.” AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 4 Theme Representative Quote Well-Maintained Trails wear out with time and need sufficient resources to conduct regular maintenance to offer a predictable, consistent experience for all users. “Surface maintenance is a MUST! Most importantly, keeping the shoulders /trails clear of debris.” Wayfinding and Awareness A comprehensive network of wayfinding signage elements tailored for walking and bicycling allows residents to easily navigate the network and make non-motorized and multi-modal trips. “Safe, shared use is possible if ALL users are aware of and follow trail rules.” “There needs to be better signage at all entrance points to the park and along walkways.” Innovative and Flexible Trail design optimizes for successful sharing of the network. Soft surface trails are a desired alternative to paved trails. “Make 2-person soft surface on both sides of national standard width trails so folks can run together.” Outreach Results 1. QUESTIONNAIRE Participants: 340 (131 full, 209 partial) Date: June 10 to August 31, 2017 Advertisements: Fliers, open house, emails, website Questionnaire High Points Demographics Respondents are more able-bodied than Census reports for the city. The share of Questionnaire respondents with children is similar to Census reports for Renton. ▪ Questionnaire respondents’ percentage with limited mobility 4%, less than Census reports for city residents identifying an ambulatory disability at 6% (ACS 1-Year 2016). ▪ Households with children under 18 years that walk: 55 of 181 respondents or about 30%. Most respondents’ children walk around the neighborhood (87.9%), to or along a trail (60.3%), to a park/library/public place (48.3%), and to school (24.5%), or other destinations (12.1%). ▪ The share of respondents with children that walk is similar to the share of City households with one or more persons under 18 at 29.6% (ACS 1-Year 2016) though the Census does not track how many children walk. Purpose and Frequency Walking, running, and biking activities tend to be more for recreation purposes rather than for transportation. Most respondents walk at least 2 times per week or more, and bike 1 day per week or less. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 5 Exhibit 2. Recreation Frequency: Walking and Biking Mode Respondents 2-7 days per week 1 day per week or less Never Walking 269 65.6% 28.9% 5.60% Biking 269 38.7% 60.4% 0.9% Running 57 44% 56% -- Questionnaire respondents are more likely to commute by walking or bicycling than the city as a whole. ▪ Questionnaire commuters that walk daily 11.1%, greater than Census reports for city residents at 2.4%. ▪ Questionnaire commuters that bike daily 9%, greater than Census reports for city residents at 0.1%. Where/Destinations Most respondents walk or bike around their neighborhood or to a public facility. In the case of bicyclists, they also frequently use trails. Exhibit 3. Where do you walk or bike? Location Walk Bike Around the neighborhood 88.50% 80.20% Along a trail 67.80% 81.10% To a park, library or other public facility 50.30% 43.40% To transit 21.90% 20.80% To work (or school) 20.20% 40.60% Other destination(s) 14.20% 22.60% Total respondents not known. Greatest number responding to a single option: 162 Walk, 86 Bike. As shown above in Exhibit 3, 88.5% of the Renton Questionnaire respondents walk around the neighborhood. This is consistent with findings in the 2017 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCORP) document. The SCORP considers participation in recreation activities across the state and in different regions. The report found the participation rates for walking was 94% statewide. Across different ages, races, or incomes, the top recreation activity was consistently walking in a park or trail setting. About 89% of participants in the Seattle-King region participated in walking in a park or trail setting. Most participation locations occurred in a person’s yard or neighborhood. Renton's Questionnaire respondents have a higher rate of biking with up to 81.1% biking on a trail and 80.2% biking around the neighborhood. In the SCORP, rates were 28% for biking mostly on streets and roads. The first and last mile problem, one of the most complex challenges for public transit, refers to the beginning and end of a trip primarily made by public transit. Questionnaire responses indicate that AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 6 residents use bicycles or walk to make short, local trips typically associated with the first and last mile to or from the destination. Improving walking and biking infrastructure to appeal to a broad and diverse range of people can help address the first and last mile problem and thereby make it easier for more people to access transit. Areas with larger proportions of the elderly, the young, low-income individuals, and households without access to a car also benefit from improvements to non-motorized travel, since these population groups are often considered transit dependent. Facilities Used While respondents visited a wide number of Renton park, recreation, and civic facilities, the most well visited ones were along Lake Washington and the Cedar River. Exhibit 4. Which parks, libraries or other public facilities do you walk or bike to? Walk Bike Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park 58.90% 53.30% Cedar River Trail Park 55.60% 62.20% Cedar River Park 50.00% 64.40% Renton Public Library 46.70% 37.80% Total respondents not known. Greatest number responding to a single option: 53 Walk, 29 Bike. Most respondents use the Cedar River Trail (82.6%, 100, Walk; 97.6% of Bicyclists, 81), and to a lesser extent May Creek and Springbrook Trails. Children walk to a large list of local schools (12 schools), and to a lesser extent bike to them (6 schools). The School District identifies a walkshed for each school. Children also walk to a similar list of parks and facilities as for adults overall, and to shopping and other locations. The City’s 2008 Sidewalk Assessment and approach to Safe Routes to Schools should be considered. Traffic Stress A May 2012 study by Mekuria and Furth, Mineta Transportation Institute1, found that “[f]or a bicycling network to attract the widest possible segment of the population, its most fundamental attribute should be low-stress connectivity, that is, providing routes between people’s origins and destinations that do not require cyclists to use links that exceed their tolerance for traffic stress, and that do not involve an undue level of detour.” Renton Questionnaire respondents found nearly 25% were confident on any road, about 50% were comfortable with roads having some traffic but prefer those with wide shoulders or lanes or trails, and over 20% were concerned about traffic and other factors. 1 See https://transweb.sjsu.edu/research/low-stress-bicycling-and-network-connectivity. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 7 This level of comfort or discomfort of Renton respondents based on traffic and road conditions is similar to a study of physiological reactions to different road conditions in Portland, Oregon: Results show that on the same route: (a) stress levels during peak-hour traffic are higher than during off-peak traffic; (b) signalized intersections are hotspots for cyclists’ stress; and (c) average stress levels on on-street facilities are higher than on off-street facilities. Statistical tests clearly show that separated facilities are associated with lower stress levels than other types of facilities. (Caviedes, 2016) Exhibit 5. When you bicycle on the road, which of the following best describes you? Description Percentage Respondents I am very confident riding in mixed traffic on any type of road 23.1% 24 I am comfortable riding on roads with some traffic, but prefer to ride on roads with wide shoulders or bike lanes, or on paved trails 50.0% 52 I ride occasionally or would like to ride, but am concerned about traffic, hills, distances and the weather 21.2% 22 I do not bicycle on the road and probably never will 5.8% 6 N=104 The results together with geospatial analysis will inform the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan about where and how to reduce traffic stress.

MAPPING RESULTS An interactive online map was open to public input from June 10, 2017 to August 31, 2017. The interactive map site had 1,380-page views and 342 data points. Participants could identify areas where they walked or biked, and problem areas. Maps and summaries of comments follow. Walking Based on input walk problems included lack of sidewalks and connections as well as traffic, speeding, and other dangerous conditions. Most pedestrian problem spots were identified in the East Plateau, North Highlands, and mid-Kennydale Planning Areas. Exhibit 9. Walking Problems Word Cloud Source: Tag Word Cloud The range of comments included: ▪ Nice walk, but would feel much safer with sidewalk (Kennydale area). ▪ No sidewalk for most of this very busy road (Sunset area). ▪ Need signage and wayfinding to connect to Cedar River trail. ▪ Missing ADA ramp. ▪ There is no way to get up and down the hill safely between Carr Rd. and SE 200th St.... That’s a 1.25-mile sidewalk desert. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 11 Destinations included the Cedar River Trail and May Creek Trail. Many respondents reported walking in neighborhoods on the Renton plateau (East Plateau Community Planning Area), as well as in the valley near Springbrook Trail and Black River Trail (Valley Community Planning Area).

Community Input Walking AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 12 Source: City of Renton 2018 Biking Community comments on biking problem spots were similar to comments about walking. Biking problems related to concerns about travel lanes and trails, and traffic and safety conditions. Based on comments, most bike problem spots follow future alignments of the regional trail system. Exhibit 11. Biking Problem Spots Source: Tag Cloud Comments addressed different connections or safety concerns such as: ▪ Add bike trail between Cedar & Green river trails. ▪ Need a safe bike route connecting to Skyway and West Hill. ▪ Sunset Blvd provides the best grade for connectivity with Highlands, needs bike lanes. ▪ Best bike route up Benson Hill is not clear. Probably old Benson Rd, but need bike lanes to continue. Consider road diet south of Puget. ▪ Very narrow shoulder, difficult connection to Jones Road from Cedar River Trail. ▪ Cars using wrong lane, conflicting with NB left turning bikes and cars. (Renton/Kent border) ▪ I ride around this area as the bridge is too narrow and unsafe, I have nearly crashed many times on this bridge.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSES Input at the community open houses included neighborhood specific feedback on needed improvements, as well as preferred connections and routes. No input on equestrian facilities was received. Needed improvements included: ▪ Intersection improvements along the Cedar River Trail downtown, Houser Way and Lake Washington Boulevard, and the NE 6th and NE 8th at Logan Avenue N. ▪ Improvements for SW 7th to make it more bike-friendly ▪ Sidewalk improvements across neighborhoods Preferred Connections and Routes included: ▪ Completion of the proposed Sam Chastain trail segment and the Soos Creek Trail north of 192nd St. (King County responsibility) ▪ Completion of Burnett Linear Park, South and North in Civic Core ▪ Houser Way was cited by many as the preferred alignment of the Eastside Rail Corridor 4. KING COUNTY MEETINGS Coordination with King County Parks and Recreation Division, Capital Projects Program, and Governmental Relations was essential to plan development with the convergence of four regional trails within Renton’s Urban Growth Area: The Cedar River Trail (CR), Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC), Lake to Sound Trail (L2S), and the Lake Washington Loop Trail. •35 persons •Preferred routes and facility types •Thoughts on potential routes •Problem spots •Wish list projects •Projects to complete •General concerns and ideas Open House 1 •26 persons •Regional Trail options •Preferences on network •Questions about facility designation •Plan Priorities Open House 2 •30 persons •Regional Trail preferences •Final Network options •Facility type discussion •Prioritization and project preferences Open House 3 AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 16 The purpose of the meetings was to collaborate with King County representatives on possible and preferred routing for the (Eastside Rail Corridor, Lake To Sound, and Cedar River) regional trails through the City of Renton, discuss alternative facility types for these corridors, update on the status of the Civic Core planning effort and review proposed cross sections for the corridors in that plan, and review the status of other regional trails/routes (Soos Creek, Lake Washington Loop). Two meetings were held to identify and agree upon the alignment and facility designation(s) for the regional trails. Detailed meeting summaries, route concepts, and cross-sections are included as an appendix to the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan. Highlights are provided below. ▪ King County representatives were supportive of strong connections among the regional trails in the downtown core. There was also support for the alternative facility standard of protected bike lanes and sidewalks. There was consensus among the City and King County representatives on the preferred alignment of the ERC, L2S, and CR trails through Renton. ▪ King County representatives described the example of successful partnerships with the business community (Microsoft, Google, Swedish and others) and stakeholders along the ERC. Potential partners for the Plan include both employers and community organizations:  Eastside Greenway Alliance  Boeing  Paccar  Hyatt  Small technology companies new to the city  Rotary Club  Chamber of Commerce ▪ Ferry (foot service) across Lake Washington was discussed as a potential complement to non- motorized connections. ▪ King County continues to work on the challenges along the BNSF rail corridor pertinent securing to leases from BNSF for the Lake to Sound Trail and extending the ERC adjacent to Coulon Park within BNSF right of way. ▪ King County representatives emphasized the importance of identifying and enhancing the connection from regional trails to the new Transit Center on Grady Way. King County representatives encouraged connecting the Burnett Trail to the relocated Transit Center. ▪ King County representatives were in general agreement with the projects identified in the preliminary list. 5. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS Community members volunteered to participate in the Technical Advisory Committee for this plan which included additional background and educational discussions to provide feedback for plan development. ▪ Important considerations included:  The importance of connecting regional trails AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 17  The importance of the transit center as a destination  Recognition that trail users are not as aware of traffic control devices like Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) or C-curbs; this lack of awareness should be addressed in design options  Cost considerations, and related “low hanging fruit” or easy wins are important to elevate as criteria ▪ The following trouble spots were identified primarily about bicycling except where noted:  Near Dimmitt Middle School the location of a pedestrian-vehicle crash  Crossing Sunset Blvd. near Harrington  NE Park Drive Freeway ramps  Gate on Houser Way at Kenworth  NE 3rd street for bikes  Connection on Factory Ave.  Rainier Ave. and Hardy Ave. ▪ The following barriers were identified:  Lack of comfort in high speed/volume conditions  Lack of wayfinding ▪ Questions focused on:  Alignment with regional plans and comparison of the proposed network with other agency and city plans from entities such as the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), King County, Seattle, Kent, Tukwila, and Newcastle.  Connection of Honey Creek path alignment to Sunset Blvd. and May Creek Trail  Connection of Thunder Hills Creek Trail to Cedar Avenue S. and Grant Avenue S.  Opportunities for public to provide input on an ongoing basis after the planning process is complete ▪ TAC members were in agreement with the projects identified in the preliminary list and the conceptual plans for intersections. Community Walking and Biking Potential A nationwide survey of sports and leisure preferences was conducted by GfK MRI in a nationally representative survey of U.S. households, and ESRI, a geospatial products company, has developed an analysis tool that compares the demographics of a community (e.g. City of Renton) to the relative likelihood that that community would have a greater likelihood to participate in the activity compared to the national average. A market potential index (MPI) of greater than 100 shows a greater likelihood than average to participate and an index of less than 100 shows a lesser likelihood. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 Renton | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Outreach Results & Themes 18 Results show that Renton households (HH) or adults are more likely than the national average to walk, run/jog, or bike.

This is the first of two planned meetings, with the expectation there will be resolution on the alignment and facility designation for the regional trails by the end of the second meeting. Discussion DESIGN CONCEPT x After introductions, and statement of purpose and goals, MacLeod Reckord presented the preferred and alternative alignments for the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC), Lake to Sound (LTS), and Cedar River (CR) Trails through the City. Rationale was given for selection of the preferred route and there was general consensus on those routes early in the meeting. x The range of facility types for regional trails was presented by MacLeod Reckord and discussed. It was noted the KC standard of shared use path with gravel shoulders would not be appropriate in the urban segments of the corridors, and alternative standards showing a protected bike lane and sidewalk were discussed. x KC representatives stated support not only for making strong connections through the downtown core with the regional trail alignment, but also for alternative facility standards such as the protected bike lane and sidewalk cross section. SUPPORT FOR THE VISION x KC described the very successful partnerships that are being established with the business community and stakeholders along the ERC (Microsoft, REI, Google, Swedish named) through Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, and encouraged Renton to engage with the Eastside Greenway Alliance to work with third parties who could provide additional support for development of these trail corridors. KC offered to provide points of contact. Renton businesses mentioned as being important stakeholders in these discussions included Boeing, Paccar, Hyatt, and numerous smaller (new) tech companies (5300 jobs) coming into the area. x The Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce were identified as potential stakeholders who could provide plan support and engage with businesses. x Ferry (foot) service to Lake Washington is in discussion and would be another benefit supporting improvements to the non-motorized system in the vicinity of the lake. x KC recommended the Redmond Central Connector powerpoint presentation as a good visual and marketing tool for promoting and securing businesses/stakeholders to support the concept of trail construction through the business core. x Pop-up events, simulations, visuals can be more compelling than simple identification of ‘projects’. The prospect of a fuselage chugging through town on a flatbed was noted as highly unique and extraordinary by visitors (less so by locals); the idea of locating bleachers and posting schedules for its arrival was kicked around and not dismissed entirely. The overall message in this conversation was these are examples of some of the unique aspects of Renton that should be embraced, marketed, and displayed. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 3 BOEING x Boeing has developed segments of trail along the future proposed ERC corridor but the segments are private “behind the fence”. Some opportunities to engage with Boeing to encourage them to collaborate with King County and the City of Renton on a public trail were identified: o There are employee groups (trail advocates) that are supportive of public/regional trail connections through this segment – identify and engage them. o Boeing likely has trip reduction requirements that need to be met as well as a regional trail facility in immediate proximity to their facility. x City of Renton clarified that Boeing’s requirement for providing public trail access on their property is only a condition in the EIS once they are at full expansion. BNSF x The challenges along the BNSF corridor were discussed. KC had some success at one point getting BNSF to talk about the option of extending the ERC trail in the BNSF corridor adjacent to Coulon Park, but discussions ceased; since then there has been no response from the railroad. The City of Renton has had similar challenges. x In addition, KC has not yet obtained leases from BNSF for the Lake to Sound Trail connecting Tukwila to Renton. It would be desirable to extend the Lake to Sound Trail along the BNSF corridor to the east toward Rainier Avenue. Options discussed included approaching the private property owners to the south of the BNSF ROW (many have loading zones, parking areas in this area) to see if there is potential for a narrow area of acquisition. It was noted that there are several sidings that the adjacent property owners don’t want to lose because they represent value or potential value to tenants. x The City of Renton confirmed that railroad use is on the average of one train per day for Boeing; Rabanco also uses the line as far as Hardie/Shattuck. WSDOT, SOUND TRANSIT, OTHER x There was discussion about the current status of the Transit Center funding, and the importance of identifying and enhancing connections from the regional trail to the new location at Grady Way. x KC noted that Sound Transit is (fiscally) supportive with projects providing access within ½ mile of the station. x KC cited working in partnership with Redmond to lobby Sound Transit on particular issues related to ERC development/access. KC agreed to work with the City of Renton regarding Sound Transit project advancement. x The City of Renton noted that Sound Transit projects are opening up in 2024; future projects included Bus Rapid Transit implementation and (WSDOT) Bellevue to Renton Bus Rapid Transit development. x KC noted the ERC to Ripley Lane connection will happen in conjunction with WSDOT widening. KC will provide information to the City of Renton. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 4 CIVIC CORE x Fehr and Peers provided background and input on the status of the Civic Core project, specifically focusing on the corridors identified for regional trail connections. The Civic Core process is moving ahead of the Trails Plan schedule, so it is imperative there is resolution on these issues and agreement between the two plans. x There was considerable discussion about the merits of the various cross sections and alternative configurations along the “Burnett Trail” segment. Specifically where, and whether transit and parking were to be provided; where the best location for raingardens and tree planting would occur; sidewalk, parking, and travel lane widths. x King County encouraged Renton to connect the Burnett Trail to the relocated Transit Center at Grady Way. x The City of Renton will provide Fehr and Peers with traffic count information in order to more fully evaluate Burnett Avenue north of Second Avenue and south of Third Avenue to 5th Street. OTHER TRAIL CORRIDOR DESIGN ISSUES x Some design concepts that will be considered along the Burnett Trail include: o Reduction of travel lanes to 11’. o Possible elimination of center turn lane between Second and Third. o Configuring protected bike lane in a way that provides greater separation from travel lanes. o Ensuring walkway does not become ‘cluttered’, with effective width being constrained, with utility poles, mailboxes, light poles, benches/amenities, hydrants, etc. Provide adequate width and create pockets for these amenities/infrastructure. o Relocation of play area to accommodate trail through park. x Review opportunities for enhancing/celebrating the 3 nodes/points of the triangle where trails converge. x Identify and address other big challenge areas, one named in particular was the Logan and Burnett intersection. x The City of Renton noted there is potential for vacating parking on the south side of Houser – it has been discussed at Council level. x Be sure to include alternative alignments in preferred plan, as those routes may be used as interim routes. x The City of Renton will provide information being generated by Otak on the design of the Logan and Airport Way intersection. OTHER ISSUES x King County noted that the Soos Creek Trail connections are not off the table, just lower on the priority list for now. x The City of Renton noted that the one Trail the public desires the most is completing the Soos Creek Trail north of 192nd. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 5 Next Steps: x The next meeting will include: o Formalizing the preferred option for connecting the ERC, Lake to Sound, and Cedar River Trail. o Identifying alternative routes for each of the three regional trails. o Identifying trail cross sections for varying segments of both the preferred and alternative routes. o Providing conceptual cross sections noting ROW width at strategic locations along the alignment, for purposes of identifying critical challenges that may be to be addressed by multiple parties. o Identifying how both the Trails plan and the Civic Core plan will show corresponding project improvements through the corridors identified for the regional trails. The second coordination meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24, 2017, from 9:00am to 11:00am at Renton City Hall.

This is the second of two planned meetings and is expected to result in decisions that will be carried forward in the final recommendations presented in the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Update. Discussion INTRODUCTION AND RECAP x After introductions, MacLeod Reckord provided an overview of what had been discussed and decided in the first meeting, held on September 22, 2017. Some discussion ensued regarding the schedule for review/approval and adoption of the Civic Core Plan and the importance of resolving solutions that would be consistent for both planning efforts. Currently the three regional trails do not connect and stop at or near the downtown core area. x MacLeod Reckord provided an explanation of the Regional Trail alignment graphics, noting the plan and sections identify two of the regional trail corridors – Lake to Sound Trail and Eastside Rail Corridor. The network shows connection to the existing Cedar River Trail but no extension of the Cedar River Trail was proposed. x The graphics also show alternative alignments, but without corresponding sections illustrating proposed facility types along those routes, the rationale being that the range of possible options was so great as to be difficult to determine the best facility type for the entire corridor (e.g.: was the alternative route a short-term or long-term option; would this be an interim route or the final route; what would the funding source be; what other likely development scenarios along the route would impact facility design; etc.) x The trail alignments include sections defined by distinctive attributes. Each section provides one or more options representing slightly different trail locations or optional facility types. See the boards (attached) for additional information on challenges and benefits of each option. LAKE TO SOUND TRAIL x SECTION 1 – The western segment extending from the planned end of trail near Naches Ave SW to Hardie Ave SW. The recommended alignment is on the south side of the rail lines, with options to locate the trail high on the embankment (same elevation at the tracks and between the main and spur lines), or low on the embankment (removing the spur line). An optional alignment on the north side of the mainline is described. Major points of discussion among the group: o Whether the spur could in fact be vacated (need to coordinate with BNSF); understanding the volume/frequency of use of spur line; whether Rabanco still uses this line; and whether property acquisition (south) is possible if spur line cannot be vacated. o All options (n/s, high/low) may need to be put forth to BNSF for discussion and will be included as a record of the process (appendix items). o The new BNSF contact may be more receptive to discussion of a joint use of corridor. There was a recommendation to convene a meeting with local BNSF AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 3 representative(s); King County would be the lead). A multi-jurisdictional approach may be more effective with an appeal to changing community needs – more non- motorized connectivity and increased rail/trail development nationwide. o Businesses in this corridor include an auto dealership, a strip mall, light industrial, a county health building, and office buildings. Security will continue to be a concern as there are transients. King County indicated there may be a possibility of an easement acquisition if businesses are willing. o The option showing the trail between the main line and spur line was determined most undesirable, as it would require numerous acute approaches to rail crossings and would be well inside the set back/clearance zone defined by BNSF for both the main and spur lines. x SECTION 2 – The middle-west segment located between Hardie Ave SW and Rainier Ave S. Recommended alignment is on the south side of the rail lines, again with options high on the embankment or low on the embankment. Optional north side of mainline was also considered. Major points of discussion included: o Show all options (n/s, high/low) when in discussion with BNSF; Hardie Ave crossing can be at grade; Rainier Ave S crossing would be better above grade. x SECTION 3 – The middle east segment located between Rainier Ave S and Burnett Ave S. Recommended alignment is on the south side with options high on the embankment or located in the Houser Way ROW as a shared street. Major points of discussion included: o High bank is preferred to maintain continuity to the west, especially if BNSF has approved high bank alignment further west. The Houser Way ROW shared street could be an inexpensive interim (or long term) solution. o A Woonerf concept was well received by the North Riverside Drive residents along the Cedar River Trail and may also be well received here. x SECTION 4 – The Houser Street corridor Recommended alignment is on the south side of the street, changing from shared use path to pedestrian/protected bike lanes configuration due to significant reduction in available space. Major points of discussion include: o North vs. south for non-motorized improvements will be an issue questioned by businesses along this segment and will require further evaluation of north vs south with pros/cons; state rationale for choice. o Some noted observations – south side leads directly to Cedar River Trail connection and Tonkin Park is on the south side. o There are concerns about the NACTO minimal width (8’) shown for a 2-way protected bike lane; consider leaving a 6’ walk and dedicating 10’ (with lighting/amenities in this zone) for bikes. o There was considerable discussion and a variety of opinions about how and whether to delineate/separate uses to include providing a visual only barrier between pedestrians and bikes; providing no distinction between bikes and pedestrian users making it less like a bike facility; creating mixing zones at intersections; and providing some type of vertical separation between bikes and the rail. AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 4 o A second option might include elimination of parking/vehicular. Eliminating parking would need to be promoted by characterizing options for a more ‘interesting and attractive’ street. o The high crown of the street will impact the street cross section, curbs and drainage as the rail segment is higher than the finish floor elevation of the adjacent businesses. The current section as shown is not possible. o Options for a connection to the Cedar River Trail were discussed and will be further evaluated in the conceptual study for the intersections of the regional trails (in the main body of the Trails Plan). EAST SIDE RAIL CORRIDOR x SECTION 1 – N 6th Street to Park Avenue N The recommended solution is unclear and dependent upon further discussions with Boeing and having a better understanding of future road widening efforts. Major points of discussion include: o Limited space requires either construction outside existing ROW onto Boeing property through acquisition or easements, or rechannelization of existing roadway to accommodate a side path. o If the trail is located outside the existing ROW high level discussions will be required between the City and Boeing and in the future may involve the mayor and other regional leaders to include King County. Renton will coordinate with King County regarding this approach. o Accommodating a facility inside the existing ROW is likely a non-starter, as City has plans for lane expansion of Logan through this segment. Note: the existing ROW width will not accommodate the lane expansion without additional ROW acquisition. x SECTION 2 – Park Ave N to Garden Ave N Recommended side path on west side, where adequate room exists without requiring acquisition or making changes to existing roadway channelization. Major points of discussion include: o Logan/Park is already a level F intersection. o Existing bike lanes on both sides of roadway could be eliminated with the addition of side path on west side; question asked how bikes would access the landing from the ERC – crossings would have to occur at Garden Ave N or Park Avenue N; it was suggested that additional roadway width captured from dropping bike lanes could go to boulevard planting. CIVIC CORE PROJECT There was some discussion about the proposals being considered for the Civic Core Project (“Burnett Trail” segment), with acknowledgement that there would be coordination on final recommendations between the two projects. Discussion included: o Burnett Trail connecting at Houser Way. o Burnett Trail as the link to the relocated South Renton Transit Center AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 5 o Burnett Trail extending north to the Cedar River Trail and crossing at Logan Avenue to the Lake Washington Loop Trail. PRODUCT FOR FINAL REPORT x Lake to Sound Trail Plan – show all discussed recommended alignments; redline alignment as currently shown, green line low bank, yellow line north side to make options clear. Show cross sections reflecting these options. Identify options that seem viable at this stage. x Eastside Rail Corridor – show connections through the Civic Core planning area, with reference to that planning effort. x Show alternative alignments on the plan so as not to eliminate them from consideration if preferred alignments cannot be achieved. x State pros/cons of all options. x These exhibits, including meeting notes, will be a standalone in the report appendix. Next Steps: x City/King County will continue to plan for discussions with BNSF and Boeing. x Plans will be coordinated with those being developed for the Civic Core project. x Cross sections will be further developed to reflect the additional options discussed for the segments noted above. These cross sections and revised plans will be included in the appendix of the final report.

PROJECT SHEETS AGENDA ITEM #1. c) AGENDA ITEM #1. c) INTRODUCTION The proposed trails and bicycle network comprises individual routes or segments that connect at intersections to form the low stress network. Most of the routes follow streets and are within the public right of way. Some existing and proposed segments are within private or quasi-public property, such as utility company property, and require agreements and/or easements to be im- plemented. Other network segments are within Renton Parks property. Projects are defined as contiguous segments of a route serving a neighborhood, connecting im- portant destinations, such as schools or transit stops, or completing gaps in regional trails. They are generally scaled to implementable in one or two phases. Most projects have one contiguous non-motorized facility type, but some have two or more facility types due to differing right of way characteristics or property constraints. The project sheets are arranged alphabetically. CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATES Project costs for bicycle and pedestrian facilities will vary greatly depending on right of way characteristics, cost of materials, the specific facility design and scope of the improvements. When available, an order of magnitude cost range is provided for each project. EXISTING CROSS-SECTION The existing cross-section description for each project includes the lane configuration, but not the dimensions of the lanes or curb-to-curb distance. The methodology employed in this plan uses the number of travel lanes as one of the factors that determines the level of traffic stress for a route. Travel lane width can affect vehicle speeds, and thus the bicycle level of traffic stress, but was not inventoried and is not documented on the project sheets. Cross-section information is for typical street segments and does not take into account turn lanes and additional through lanes that often occur at intersections. SPEED LIMIT Vehicle speeds are also one of the factors used to determine the existing level of traffic stress of a route. Where relevant, existing posted speed limits are provided for each project. FACILITY TYPES A range of facility types to achieve a low-stress trails and bicycle network are proposed in this plan. The facility types assigned to different projects are conceptual design guidelines and not specific to the exact dimensions and condition of each right of way or easement. In some cases, one or more alternate facility types are suggested that may provide more separation from traffic and result in a safer, more comfortable facility. Additional feasibility studies will be required to C. PROJECT SHEETS I AGENDA ITEM #1. c) verify the suitability of each facility prior to project implementation. These studies may address property acquisition, roadway channelization or widening, and on-street parking modification, among other issues. Each facility type also has design variations that will need to be considered upon design devel- opment of the project. For example, protected bike lanes can have a range of treatments for the barrier separating the bicycle facility from the vehicle travel lanes, such as delineator posts, planter boxes, or concrete barriers. Selection of a variant will generally depend on the safety, cost, and return on investment of the project. LOCATION MAPS Each location map shows the proposed project segment or segments.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION DOCUMENTATION AGENDA ITEM #1. c) AGENDA ITEM #1. c) 1 Project Prioritization January 2019 | Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan As part of outreach in fall 2017, the City of Renton drafted prioritization criteria with the community: ▪ Safety and Trail Experience ▪ Connectivity and Accessibility ▪ Equity ▪ Economy and Community ▪ Construction and Implementation Eighty projects were scored with prioritization criteria. Each category was weighted with Connectivity and Accessibility and Safety and Trail Experience weighted more highly, Equity weighted moderately, and Economy and Community and Construction and Implementation weighted lower. For each category, indicators or variables were developed. For each indicator, project evaluation criteria were developed, and each rated on either a 3-part high, medium, or low range or a 5-part high, medium-high, medium, medium-low, and low range. The table below addresses the indicators and variables. The Attachment provides more detail and definition of the scoring. Exhibit 1. Prioritization Criteria and Indicators Category Indicators/Variables Connectivity and Accessibility Weight: 30% Does the project: Fill a gap between existing facilities, or Fill gap in area with no/few facilities, or Remove pedestrian and/or bicycle barriers? To what extent does this project improve pedestrian/bike access to schools? Does this project offer connections to parks, recreation, or natural areas? Safety and Trail Experience Weight: 30% Does the project increase the extent of the low stress (LTS 1 or 2) network? Does the project enhance the natural environment experience? Does the project address a known issue regarding user experience (intersections, slope/terrain, lighting, wayfinding, formalize informal trail, etc.)? Equity Weight: 20% Does the project reach a large number of people and jobs? Does the project improve bicycle or pedestrian access for users older than Age 64 and/or users younger than Age 18? Does the project improve bicycle or pedestrian access for the city's Households in Poverty? AGENDA ITEM #1. c) January 2019 City of Renton | Project Prioritization 2 Category Indicators/Variables Economy and Community Weight: 10% Does the project leverage plans or priorities? Does the project improve access to high density residential or commercial zones, transit, or services? Does the project reflect public feedback? Construction and Implementation Weight: 10% Is the project a strong candidate for possible grants? To what extent can the project be implemented with future construction? Is the project reasonably attainable? Is the cost reasonably balanced with potential benefits? Source: City of Renton, 2018; BERK, 2018. Tiers & Results Once scored, three tiers of projects were developed: Highest Priority, High Priority, and Medium Priority. The City used two qualitative criteria in addition to prioritization scores to develop the Highest Priority projects list (Tier 1): partnership commitments and geographic equity. Thus, the top scoring projects include the highest scoring projects, plus projects with known commitments, and projects that are opportunistic, feasible in the near term, enhance connectivity across planning areas, or assist with geographic equity. Since some projects had identical scores, there were 27 projects in Tier 1, 26 projects in Tier 2, and 27 projects in Tier 3. Exhibit 2. Prioritization Process Source: BERK, 2018. Project tiers are nearly equal in length, but Tier 1 projects emphasize Shared Use Paths, and complete all Protected Bike Lanes. Striped Bike Lanes are also increased. Implementation of Neighborhood Greenways is initiated but is a smaller share than in later phases. Tier 2 continues to advance Shared Use Paths, adds Striped Bike Lanes, and adds Neighborhood Greenways, plus implements most Pedestrian Trails. Tier 3 completes the network with the emphasis on Neighborhood Greenways, as well as Striped Bike Lanes, and Shared Use Paths.
