It represents a collaborative effort between the Trans- portation and Parks Divisions, and reflects the desire to cre- ate an interconnected trails, water trails, and non -motorized transportation network to accommodate both recreational and commuting uses, from pedestrians to cyclists. The project was initiated in 2006 with the receipt of a federal grant. The Master Plan provides a vision statement, goals and ob- jectives, and a review of policy at the local, state, and federal levels. It reviews existing conditions of the non -motorized system through the City, identifies new destinations and their service areas, and from this seeks to identify new projects and routes that are incomplete. Facility design guidelines are reviewed and current standards are proposed. A final project list is included, as well as project sheets for most routes. Cri- teria are developed and used to create a list of prioritized im- provements for each division. The following paragraphs summarize the content of each section. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW, PART 1 The first task of the project was to develop a vision state- ment, goals and objectives to define and guide the project and provide the foundation for the plan: The Bicycle and Trails Master Plan creates and fos- ters opportunity within Renton and neighboring com- munities for people to move through the city and to access multiple local and regional destinations includ- ing schools, parks, businesses and residential ar- eas. The master plan supports a city where residents and visitors can enjoy recreation and exercise contrib- uting to a healthy lifestyle, and where commuting by bicycle using an integrated trails/road network, be- comes a realistic transportation alternative. Project objectives and goals help to further articulate the vi- sion by providing more specific direction and guidance for actions implementing the vision. CURRENT CONDITIONS, PART 2 Inventory and analysis of existing conditions was gathered in a variety of ways. Base mapping was acquired from the City via the King County GIS Center, which had recently produced Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 3 a walking map for the Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila and Renton area. Field reconnaissance was performed across the City to confirm current non -motorized facilities, transit routes, routes that are currently used by bicyclists, and destinations. Addi- tional research on destinations, general conditions, and facili- ties was done using the City's CAD data, resources provided on the City's website, and King County's Bicycling Guide Map and Regional Trails Map. In addition, public comment was invaluable, gathered from e-mails to City staff and discussion during the project's four public open houses. The inventory was structured according the geographic plan- ning areas used by the City's Open Space and Recreation plan: Central, West, Southwest, Southeast, and North and East. Inventory and analysis reveal that existing bicycle fa- cilities in the City are limited and are not contiguous, and many of the routes proposed in the earlier plans remain in- complete. The Cedar River Trail is the longest non -motorized facility in the City, and because of its central location within the City, can therefore be seen as the spine of the City's trails and bicycle network. Pedestrian facilities, in the form of soft - surface trails, are more numerous, especially along other ri- parian corridors: the Black River, Springbrook Creek, Honey Creek, May Creek, Thunder Creek, and Soos Creek, though these trails are not all continuous or complete. A number of significant barriers to bicycle and pedestrian travel were identified: the steep topography between down- town and the neighborhoods, the limited crossing points of the Cedar River, Interstate-405, Sunset Boulevard/SR 900 and some other busy arterials. In particular, the lack of con- nections between downtown in the river valley and the neighborhoods above, due to the steep topography, are seen as critical connections to make, especially with multiple em- ployment centers in both downtown and the nearby Green River Valley. In addition, connections between the regional trails-- the Interurban/Green River Trail corridors, Lake Wash- ington Loop and the Cedar River Trail —are seen as essential links to be made. Public comment echoed the importance of these connections. RECOMMENDATIONS, PART 3 The recommendations section describes how routes are identified, selected, and prioritized, as well as how cross - sections are determined for the routes. Primary, secondary, and minor routes are developed, based on previously pro- posed routes and the survey of existing conditions and oppor- tunities, to ensure connections between all identified destina- tions and to serve the range of trips Rentonians make on foot or bike. 4 City of Renton Identification of routes as primary, secondary, or minor does not necessarily target them as priority projects, but helps en- sure a high level of connection between facilities and destina- tions. A set of criteria for evaluating, selecting, and prioritizing routes for the final master plan were developed. The criteria are as follows: • Safety • Accommodation/Accessibility • Continuity & Directness • Connectivity/Linkage • Regional Trail Connectivity • Trail Experience • Sensitivity • Concurrency • Funding/Construction Opportunities. Design Guidelines and Cross -Sections The design guidelines are intended to direct the construction of trail and bicycle facilities presented in the plan, and still allow some flexibility in implementation. The design guide- lines are based on recognized regional, state and national standards and/or guidelines and include dimensional recom- mendations for widths, separation of elements, and signage. The range of options includes bike lanes, signed shared roadways, paved shoulders, multi -use trails, and separated multi -use trails. Recommended Improvements Existing trails and bicycle facilities in Renton, including re- gional trails, bike lanes, signed shared roadways, and multi- use trails comprise nearly 26 miles. Over 60 existing and proposed routes were identified, including critical connections to regional trails. Additions to the City's non -motorized net- work as proposed in the recommended improvements are as follows: Proposed trails and bicycle facilities and approximate mileage: Separated multi -use trails, for bikes and pedestrians (paved) 3.2 miles Multi -use trails, for pedestrians only (unpaved) 12.2 miles Mixed cross -sections on the same route (e.g. bike lanes + multi -use trail) 9.5 miles Regional trails 9.7 miles New bike lanes 26.0 miles Extended bike lanes (including existing segments) 14.1 miles Signed shared roadways 21.8 miles TOTAL MILES PROPOSED TRAILS AND BICYCLE FACILITIES: 96.5 miles Trails and Bicycle Master Plan BACKGROUND/PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW, PART 4 This review of previous plans and policies includes local, re- gional, state and national levels. The previous trail plans are reviewed, as are local plans of relevance to the City's non - motorized network. Of most consequence are the documents at the regional level: possible improvements to several corri- dors passing over or under 1-405 as part of the 1-405 Corridor Improvement Project; possible rail to trail conversion of the BNSF rail line through Renton; and the King County Regional Trail Plan, which identifies several regional trails with connec- tion into and through Renton. PROJECT SHEETS, PART 5 A set of project sheets is included to provide more detail on proposed projects and selected existing routes. City of Renton _ 1 - - _ '',R;f,�^ •fir..., fF Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan VISION STATEMENT The Bicycle and Trails Master Plan creates and fosters opportunity within Renton and neighboring communities for people to move through the city and to access multiple local and regional destinations including schools, parks, businesses and residential areas. The mas- ter plan supports a city where residents and visitors can enjoy recrea- tion and exercise contributing to a healthy lifestyle, and where com- muting by bicycle using an integrated trails/road network, becomes a realistic transportation alternative. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 10 City of Renton PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE In 2006 the City of Renton's Transportation Division received a federal grant to produce a bicycle route map and future bi- cycle route plan for the City and the potential annexation ar- eas. Within the same time frame the City of Renton's Parks Division was in the process of hiring a consultant to update their trails planning document. Instead of having two docu- ments, one for bike routes and one for trails, the City of Ren- ton's Transportation and Parks Divisions have combined their resources to create this integrated and comprehensive plan- ning document that ties together the Parks Division's recrea- tion -oriented trails, paths, and sites and Transportation's bike route facilities. The most recent Parks trails planning document was adopted by Council in 1993, and an updated draft completed in 2004 in conjunction with the Non -motorized Transportation Advi- sory Committee. While progress has been made on the im- plementation of the adopted plan, major new developments, particularly in the City's core, have made the need for an up- date evident. Furthermore, there are more cyclists on the road today, as people recognize the health benefits of cycling for both recreational and commuting purposes, as well as the potential relief from traffic congestion and rising energy costs. GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT The 2005 Amendments to Washington State's Growth Man- agement Act (GMA) mandates the incorporation of bicycle and pedestrian planning into each jurisdiction's comprehen- sive plan, as well as the consideration of approaches that promote physical activity. The recommendations of the Master Plan, when adopted, will be an implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. Beyond compliance with state mandates, the value of non - motorized planning is evident to most communities in the Puget Sound region for the multiple benefits it provides: flexi- bility in transportation choice, congestion relief, health bene- fits, fun, and enhanced livability for communities. The unique combination and configuration of Renton's geo- graphic setting, land use patterns, transportation network, and recreational opportunities set the stage for the develop- ment of a well-connected network of trails and bikeways. Renton's central location within the Puget Sound region, in- terconnection with, and easy access to, the region's motor - Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Cedar River Trail The Landing, under construction Springbrook Trail Pedestrian sign off Lake Washington Boulevard North 11 ized transportation system, and the presence/existence of THE TRAILS AND BICYCLE major employment centers centrally located within the City, make it a readily accessible place to live, work, and play. MASTER PLAN Unique natural resources like the Cedar River, Lake Wash- • Builds on previous non -motorized ington, and proximity to the Green River Valley and Cougar plans Mountain Regional Wildland Park also make it an excellent recreational destination. Perhaps most significantly, the City • Goes beyond previously proposed is the hub of three major regional trails: the Cedar River routes t look at the big picture: Trail, the Lake Washington Loop, and the Interurban Trail, policy, plans, ans, and proposal at both providing Renton direct access to over 80 miles of regional the local and the regional scale trails. 12 Tying these resources together through a network of trails and bikeways, as this Master Plan outlines, will ensure that Renton remains "ahead of the curve" in terms of livability by creating an accessible, sustainable, and pleasant place to live, work, and play. PROJECT PROCESS The Master Plan was developed through a process that com- prised five main tasks: 1. Information Review and Preliminary Documentation: The first task entailed a planning and regulatory investiga- tion of policies at federal, state, and local levels as well as relevant local and regional plans and proposals. A set of guiding principals for the development, design, and imple- mentation of the trails and bicycle network was also de- veloped during this task. 2. Existing Conditions Evaluation: The second task consisted of an inventory of existing con- ditions and opportunities; assessment of traffic or trip gen- erators and destination service areas; and analysis of travel corridors, including soft -surface hiking and walking trails. This information was presented to the public at the project's first open house. 3. Routing Options & Evaluation Criteria The third task involved transportation planning analysis and identification of route options; designation of pro- posed routes and cross -sections; and establishment of evaluation criteria for designating priorities. A second open house was conducted to get the public's input at this stage of the process. 4. Draft Master Plan & Bicycle -Friendly Routes Map The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan document was drafted during this fourth task, incorporating information from the City of Renton two open houses and finalizing the recommendations. Two maps were created during this task; one showing existing trails and bicycle routes and a second map show- ing proposed routes. In addition a signage plan comple- menting the proposed routes and safety flyer were cre- ated. A third public meeting for the project was con- ducted, to share the Draft Master Plan and recommenda- tions to the public and get their feedback. 5. Final Master Plan and Bicycle -Friendly Routes Map Completion of the Master Plan included final evaluation of the recommended routes and the development of project sheets for selected routes. The signage elements were also finalized during this task, along with the bicycle - friendly routes map, which features safety information for cyclists. PUBLIC OUTREACH destinations and connections • evaluate existing network 4( 0 identify preferred network Public input and participation in the Master Plan process was �' ' '" �■ a valuable resource for on -the -ground information and overall validation of the project. As described above, the project conducted three public meetings, described in greater detail �;• below. Public Open House #1: The purpose of this first public open house was to further develop the inventory of destinations, identify all potential trail and bikeway routes, confirm existing conditions and opportunities, refine the program, and listen to concerns. The project team solicited comments from the community to supplement other inventory and research, and aid the team in evaluating corridors and options. Presentation graphics included goal statements, existing conditions maps, aerial photographs, and site images. Public Open House #2: The second open house included a presentation of the route options, evaluation criteria, cross sections, and other improvements. The goal of the meeting was to solicit comments from the public on the alternatives and seek consensus on a preferred network of routes. Com- ments from these meetings were incorporated into the Draft Trails and Bikeways Plan. Public Open House #3: The draft plan recommendations were presented and public comment sought. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan prioritize Figure 1. Project Process 13 14 PUBLIC INPUT Attendance at each of the open houses was between 20 and 40 attendees. Participants were able to offer their comments to the team during both presentations and working sessions, and comment forms and maps were available for those wish- ing to leave written comments. In addition, a brief project de- scription and contact information for City staff were posted on the City's website, and a number of comments were received via e-mail to City staff. The majority of comments were neighborhood -specific — routing recommendations and ideas for improvements, as well as trouble spots and missing links. A fair number of bicy- clists who commute into and out of Renton, as well as recrea- tional cyclists, made varied recommendations for regional - scale routes between Renton and its neighboring jurisdic- tions. On the whole, the public conveyed enthusiasm and support for the project and its recommendations. In addition to the public outreach, presentations by City staff and the project team were made throughout the project to the Parks Commission, Non -motorized Transportation Advisory Committee, City Council, and the Mayor. City of Renton GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Master Plan was developed in collaboration with both Transportation and Parks staff, reflecting the desire to create an interconnected network to accommodate both recreational and commuting uses, from pedestrians to cyclists, and im- prove mobility for non -drivers. With these concerns in mind, project goals and objectives were developed to guide the pro- ject. Project Objectives • Enhance public awareness about the benefits of walk- ing, cycling and recreating for the individual and com- munity health. • Create a safe and convenient trails and bikeways net- work to provide both local and regional connectivity in order to increase bicycling and trail use. • Interconnect neighborhoods and local destinations: schools, parks, shopping, civic sites, and other local destinations, emphasizing route safety for less skilled riders/users. • Develop commuting routes between neighborhoods, employment and business centers, and transit facili- ties that will accommodate more skilled riders/users. • Capitalize on the convergence of the Lake Washing- ton Loop, Cedar River Trail and Interurban Trail in Renton and enhance the connectivity of the regional trail network by creating connections to proximate re- gional trails: the Green River Trail, Soos Creek Trail, Lake Youngs Trail, and the East Lake Sammamish Trail, as well as neighboring communities. • Increase use of hiking and water trails, parks and other recreational sites. • Promote bicycle safety, especially on shared road- ways, by increasing awareness among the driving public. • Update policies, ordinances and procedures to make opportunities for walking and bicycling. • Introduce cycling skills into school curriculum. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 1 16 Project Goals • Identify local and regional destinations in a non - motorized network, for both commuting and recrea- tional purposes. • Inventory and evaluate existing non -motorized routes, hiking and water trails. • Identify missing links in the existing network to con- nect important destinations and complete routes. • Identify connections to regional trails. • Identify and provide signage for a preferred network of routes. • Identify safety issues on existing and proposed routes. • Develop a methodology to prioritize improvements. • Ensure accommodation of a wide variation in users and trip purposes: pedestrians and all types of bicy- clists: long distance and "fast" cyclists, recreational, less -skilled riders, and children.

The central part of the City and its older neighborhoods lie in the level area south of the lake, while the rest of the City is spread out on the slopes of Lake Washington, and hillsides above the Ce- dar and Green River Valleys, and Honey, May, and Panther Creeks. The river valleys and plateaus are generally fairly level, and the roadways leading between these two distinct topographical areas are steep. The population is roughly 80,000, and the city's footprint on the landscape is just over 20 square miles. The City is centrally located within the Puget Sound environs, and is well connected to the rest of the region via Interstate 405, and State Routes 167 (Valley Freeway), 169 (Renton Maple Valley Road), 515 (Talbot Road/Benson Drive South), and 900 (Sunset Boulevard/SE Renton -Issaquah Road). As is often the case with major limited -access transportation corridors, these routes divide the City into distinct areas and pose significant barriers to non -motorized travel due to the great traffic volumes and limited crossing opportunities. In particular, I-405, and SR 167, as well as the Cedar River, de- marcate distinct neighborhood/planning areas and limit ac- cess to non -vehicular traffic Several major local arterials, however, run north -south, and provide alternative access to Seattle, Bellevue, Kent and points beyond. Rainier Avenue North, Lake Washington Boulevard and Duvall Avenue are all popular bicycle routes for both commuters and recreational cyclists. Renton is also well served by regional and local buses, through a hub -based transit system based at the downtown transit center. The RUSH (Renton Urban SHuttle) transports commuters from downtown Renton to the City's major em- ployment sites. Sounder Commuter Rail and Amtrak ser- vice, via the current temporary and planned final Tukwila Sta- tion at the Renton/Tukwila City line, make easy connections to Seattle's King Street Station and other points north and south. This well -established transit network provides an ex- cellent opportunity to create and enhance linkages with the non -motorized network, thereby increasing the efficiency and usage of both modes of travel. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 19 The Landing under construction Cedar River Park and Trail 20 DESTINATIONS AND TRIP GENERATORS The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan is about getting people where they want to go. A thorough analysis of where people are coming from and where they need and want to go, there- fore, lays the framework to create a highly connective non - motorized and recreational network. The determination of important destinations, neighborhood conditions and charac- ter, topography, natural features, and existing travel patterns and recreational routes are all part of this analysis. As a means of organization, the Master Plan uses the geo- graphic planning areas designated in the 2003 Park, Recrea- tion and Open Space Implementation Plan, updated to reflect current annexations. The areas are divided by the most sali- ent natural and manmade boundaries and for the most part form distinctive and fairly cohesive units in terms of topogra- phy, land use, and transportation networks. The City's 6 identified planning areas, as shown in Figure 2, are: • Central Planning Area • Southwest Planning Area • Southeast Planning Area • North Planning Area • East Planning Area • West Planning Area The project limits for the Master Plan are Potential Areas of Annexation (PAAs), to accommodate potential future annexa- tions. Employment Centers Renton is unique in that it has many major employers cen- trally located in or not far from the central business district. Some of the major employers are: • Central Planning Area (Urban Center Downtown, Ur- ban Center North): Boeing, PACCAR, Fry's Electron- ics, The Landing, including Target, Lowe's, and other "big box" retail, Renton Municipal Airport, Renton City Hall. • Southwest Planning Area (Valley): Green River Val- ley/Renton industrial area: Boeing Longacres, Valley Medical Center, IKEA, and various industrial, ranging from light to heavy. • East Planning Area: Sunset, East Renton, The High- lands City of Renton The advantage of these centrally -located employers is the GEOGRAPHIC PLANNING AREAS greater potential for residents to walk or bicycle to work, and these routes should be capitalized on. } `j Parks and Recreation Area The City of Renton has a variety of parks, recreation sites Central and open space resources, both natural and developed that fanning East are important destinations for its citizens. In addition to de- Afea Planning l nni g veloped parks, recreation sites, and open space, the City has est a number of open spaces that are linear in character, provid- Planning l nni g ing excellent opportunities for bicycling, walking, and hiking, east and boatingwater trails). Amon these linear open aces S utnwes Planning ( ) g p p Planning are: Lake Washington, the Cedar River, May, Hone Spring- lanning Area 9 Y, Y, p g- Area brook and Panther Creeks, in addition to several utility corri- dors that are currently used or have potential use for walking, hiking, and bicycling. Some highlights of the City's parks, recreation and open Figure 2. Geographic Planning Ar- space system: eas (from 2003 Park, Recreation, and Open Space Implementation Plan 12.5 miles of existing trails Two lake -front beaches along Lake Washington (Gene Coulon and Kennydale Beach) Many park/recreation/civic sites, including: o A community center (at Cedar River Park) o Two library branches (downtown and in the High- lands) o An historical museum (downtown) o A sports park complex (Ron Regis Park along SR 169 and the Cedar River Trail) o A skateboard park o An 18-hole public golf course o A central downtown park/Transit Center o A senior center (on the Cedar River). Schools Safe, convenient connections to schools are a primary build- ing block of a non -motorized network. Aside from the fact that children and most older students are non -drivers, schools are the one destination that are very often close enough to homes to enable walking or biking. Renton has over 20 schools. With an area of about 20 square miles, that equates roughly to a school in every square mile of City. In terms of walkable catchment area (or "ped shed"), deter- mined as the area encompassed in a 5-10 minute walk, (see Figure 4), that puts many schools in walkable or cycling range of many of Renton's citizens. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 21 Organizations like the National Center for Safe Routes to School attest that safe non -motorized routes provide multiple benefits, from personal and public health to reducing vehicle miles traveled, providing traffic calming and enhanced neighborhood livability. See Appendix K for map of Renton schools. Other destinations Some other notable destinations in Renton, both for its citi- zen's and for the larger regional community include: • Black River Riparian Forest • Henry Moses Aquatic Center • IKEA • Renton Civic Theater • Renton History Museum • Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center • Renton Technical College • CARCO Theater • Farmer's Market • Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park See Figure 5. Destinations and Existing Non -motorized Facili- ties. EXISTING TRAILS AND BICYCLE FACILITIES The Cedar River Trail, the keystone of the City's non - motorized network, runs through the heart of the City and of- fers both a rural and urban experience for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Across the City, existing trails, mostly soft - surface or rough (undeveloped) along the City's numerous creeks and utility corridors, provide ample walking trails for pedestrians. The situation for bicyclists is different. Bike lanes are few and nearly always discontinuous (not linking to other bike lanes or non -motorized facilities), as are separated multi -use trails. Some signed shared -use roadways exist, but often are not contiguous with other bicycle facilities. Below is an inventory of existing non -motorized facilities in and around Renton.

The area is bounded by 1-405 to the south and east, Lake Washington to the north, and Rainier Avenue North (SR 167) to the West, and is tran- sected by the Cedar River. The street pattern of the industrial area, home to major em- ployers The Boeing Company and PACCAR, is an elongated grid, with some large industrial parcels. Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway tracks run along the east and west edges of the area, serving the industrial areas. The topogra- phy is flat. Some of the area is transitioning to commercial use, with big -box retail and mixed -use development through The Landing and Southport developments. The evolution of the area from industrial to a mix of retail, commercial, and residential land uses will bring more bicyclists and pedestri- ans to the area. Downtown Renton has a gridded street pattern with walkable block sizes, and has an economic vitality with small shops, businesses, and restaurants. Two pairs of one-way couplets provide through access through downtown, South 2nd and South 3rd Streets (SR 900 through downtown), running east - west, and Williams and Wells Avenues South, running north - south. Two distinctive features of the area: the BNSF rail corridor which passes through downtown in southwesterly - northeasterly direction, and Burnett Avenue South (also a former rail corridor) which runs north -south and forms a di- vided boulevard with park blocks in between. Also notable are the centrally located Piazza Park and Renton Transit Center. At the northern -most part of downtown lays the Renton Mu- nicipal Airport, Renton High School and the IKEA Center for the Performing Arts, forming larger blocks. The single-family residential neighborhoods are south of downtown and between the Cedar River and the industrial area to the north. The street network is a continuation of the downtown street grid, and there are four streets that bridge the river (Logan, Williams and Wells Avenues North and Bronson Way North). Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Boeing and The Landing under con- struction 27 Cedar River Trail at Logan Avenue North Bridge South 3rd Street, downtown 28 Waterfront Safe, convenient north -south non -motorized access around Lake Washington is lacking despite the fact that this makes up part of the Lake Washington Loop, an important and heav- ily -used regional bicycle route. The area between the inter- section of the Airport Perimeter Road/Logan Avenue North and Gene Coulon Park is a missing link in the regional trail network. A separated multi -use trail linking the east and west shores of Lake Washington would provide the most benefit to bicyclists and pedestrians. However, large industrial parcels and their access needs (by roadway and rail), existing river crossings, substantial north -south traffic volumes, and the basic physical constriction of space make this a challenging area for non - motorized improvements. In terms of river crossings, the Boeing Bridges, the northern at the mouth of the river and the southern near North 6tn Street are permitted through State Department of Natural Re- sources to Boeing, and the permit restricts use by others. The bridges' purpose is to allow airplanes to be hauled be- tween the Boeing Renton Plant and the Municipal Airport. The Logan Avenue Bridge has a narrow separated lane for pedestrians, but its width, approaches, and grade separation from the Cedar River Trail below make it a poor choice for bicyclists. Downtown As mentioned above, connections between regional trails are best accomplished with separated multi -use trails. Given that downtown Renton is probably the most fully built -out area of the city, flexibility and creativity will be required to achieve this aim. In addition, as the center of the City's commerce, parking is obviously a critical need, and something that is hugely valued by merchants. Squeezing non -motorized improvements into the existing urban fabric of downtown will also require creativ- ity, and likely some trade-offs. Downtown improvements in the bicycle and pedestrian net- work have the potential to bring great benefit to the City, in- cluding increased transit use; possible reductions in vehicle trips and demand for vehicular parking; and significantly, in- creased commerce. Such enhancements would likely boost the City's visibility, reputation and allure throughout the re- gion. City of Renton EXISTING ROUTES CURRENTLY USED BY BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS: • Cedar River Trail (bicycle access ends north of North 6th Street) • Houser Way North (southbound and northbound) • Garden and Park Avenues North • Lake Washington Loop Trail (parallel to 1-405 west of Ripley Lane) • Burnett Avenue North (Burnett Linear Park) • SW Grady Way • various other low volume streets TRANSIT ROUTES: • South 2nd and South 3rd • Rainier Avenue South • South/SW Grady Way • South/SW 7th Street • Park Avenue North • Bronson Way North • Park Avenue North/NE Park Drive OPPORTUNITIES: • Lower -volume streets (some one-way) such as Wil- liams, Wells, Garden, parallel the main north -south routes, Logan and Park Avenues, and could provide good non -motorized access and connections. • North 3ra 4th 6th Streets as east -west routes. • Possibility of grade separation between pedestrians and bicycles via street right-of-way that parallels the Cedar River Trail and the bank above the river (North Riverside Drive). • Potential availability of Renton High School property adjacent to Logan for a segment of separated trail. • The eventual need to upgrade the Logan Avenue Bridge and include a dedicated bike -pedestrian trail. • Possible redevelopment of the BNSF rail corridor. • Long-term redevelopment of Liberty Park, as identi- fied in the Tri-Park Master Plan, providing a potential opportunity to install new pathways around the pe- rimeter of the park. • A route for the Two Rivers Trail, utilizing SW 7th/South 71h Street (see West Planning Area, below), Shattuck Avenue South, and Houser Way South, with the fol- lowing additional opportunities: • Potential near -term and/or long-term redevelopment of Houser Way and the BNSF corridor. • Low -volume Shattuck Avenue South as another direct thoroughfare through downtown.

It is bounded by the Valley Freeway (SR 167) on the east, Renton/Tukwila City limits on west (also the Interurban Trail and Green River), Martin Luther King, Jr. Way/SW Sunset Boulevard (SR 900) to the north, and SW 43rd and the Renton City limits to the south. The area has flat topography and consists mostly of large industrial -zoned parcels, with a rectilinear street pattern. The area also features a network of wetlands, along Springbrook Creek and the Springbrook Trail. The Southwest Planning area, with its recently redeveloped streets; proximity to existing passenger rail and future light rail (via Tukwila Station), regional trails in neighboring Tuk- wila, and the Springbrook Trail is one area where non - motorized transportation is gaining a foothold. Existing bike lanes in the area connect together, as well as to the Black River and Springbrook Trail, providing access to recreational resources, walking trails, and Tukwila Station, and regional bike commuting routes. EXISTING ROUTES CURRENTLY USED BY BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS: • SW 16th (bike lanes and signed shared roadway) • SW 27th (separated shared use trail, west end) • Oakesdale Avenue SW (bike lanes) • Springbrook Trail • The Interurban Trail TRANSIT ROUTES: • Lind Avenue SW • SW 16th Street • SW 43rd Street City of Renton OPPORTUNITIES: • Extension of SW 161" signed shared roadway to con- nect with transit route on Lind Avenue SW. • Extension north and south of Oakesdale Avenue SW bike lanes to connect with the Springbrook Trail. • Planned Strander Boulevard/SW 27t Street connec- tion between Renton and Tukwila. • Connections with Tukwila's non -motorized routes. • Missing links within the Springbrook Trail System. West Planning Area The West Planning area is bounded by the Renton City Limits to the north and west (bisected by Martin Luther King, Jr. Way/SW Sunset Boulevard/SR 900), 1-405 to the south and Rainier Avenue/SR 167 to the east. It is the smallest planning area, and its most notable feature is the Black River Riparian Forest, a remnant riparian forest with walking trails and a heron rookery, surrounded by industrial parcels. The indus- trial area is south of SW Sunset Blvd/SR 900, and is criss- crossed by railroad corridors and spurs. North of SW Sunset Blvd/SR 900, a residential neighborhood rises above the city on the hillsides of the Green River Valley. The hilly terrain of this area poses access challenges: both getting to and from downtown and points north as well as get- ting around the neighborhood. Unlike other areas of the City, the existing street network does not have a regular and ex- tensive system of collectors and arterials providing through - access. Industrial area The industrial area south of SW Sunset Boulevard/SR 900 has excellent potential to provide connections between the Green River, Interurban and Cedar River regional trails, be- tween Tukwila and Renton, and to make connections with downtown Renton, particularly through the railroad corridors. The trail in Black River Riparian Forest and the Springbrook Trail and bikes lanes on Monster Road already provide some connectivity. Extending the east -west connection would be ideal. In terms of the connection of existing regional trails; there is an excellent opportunity to close the missing link between the Green River Trail and Renton via railroad right-of-way and Fort Dent Park. The "Fort Dent Connector," which would link the Green River Trail to Renton, has been identified in sev- eral regional non -motorized planning documents as a high priority connection. Linkages between regional trails, and this Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Houser Way South, west of Burnett Avenue South SW 7th Street West Planning Area . E 31 Monster Road SW near Waterworks Park Green River at Fort Dent Park Taylor Avenue Northwest 32 connection in particular, were also identified through public comment at project open houses. A multi -use trail to the Black River Riparian Forest, adjacent to the existing railroad and connected to SW 7th via Naches would make connections to the east. The SW 7th corridor has a lot of potential, preferably as a separated multi -use trail and could become an excellent connection to downtown. Neighborhoods This area is hilly, making it challenging for bicycle access, even on the designated shared use routes, Hardie and Tay- lor. The major arterial in the area is Renton Avenue South, which is considered moderately bicycle friendly along some of its length. EXISTING ROUTES CURRENTLY USED BY BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS: • Monster Rd SW (bike lanes) • SW 7th Street • Black River Trail (walking trail) • Springbrook Trail (multi -use trail) • Taylor and Hardie Avenues SW (shared use) TRANSIT ROUTES: MILK Jr. Way South/SW Sunset Blvd (SR 900) SW 7th Street SW Grady Way OPPORTUNITIES: • Two Rivers Trail (see Central Planning Area, above). • Fort Dent Connector to connect the Green River Trail and Renton. • Conversion of undeveloped path alongside railroad corridor in Black River Riparian area. • Continuation of separated multi -use trail from Black River Riparian area down Naches to SW 7th. • Possibility for a separated multi -use trail along SW 7th Street to connect to downtown. • Extension north and south of Oakesdale Avenue SW bike lanes to connect with the Springbrook Trail. • Renton Avenue South as a connection to Seattle. • Future extension of Chief Sealth trail through the util- ity corridor. City of Renton Southeast Planning Area (Talbot/Benson/Fairwood/ Soos Creek) Steep hillsides rise up from the Green River Valley and Cedar River corridor. The southeast planning area sits above these two rivers, and borders on downtown. It is bounded by the Valley Freeway (SR 167) on the west, 1-405 to the north, the Cedar River to the northeast, and Renton City limits to the south and east. The terrain is hilly and is transected by utility corridors: Puget Sound Energy transmission lines and the Seattle -Mercer Is- land Waterline. The area is predominantly residential, with some commercial/retail nodes along the arterials. Arterials curve, sometimes in response to topography, and are some- what discontinuous; local streets form inwardly -focused neighborhood units. On the northeast side, The Cedar River Natural Area forms a sloped, wooded boundary between these neighborhoods and the Cedar River. Panther Creek and its wetland complex run parallel to SR 167 at the bottom of the west slope. Thunder Hills Creek flows toward I-405 and downtown from the southeast to the northwest. The area has several pockets of multi -family housing that would surely benefit from improved connections. The primary east -west route, SW 43rd Street/SE Carr Road/ SE 176th/Petrovitsky Road, though long, is steep in places and has a cross section that changes several times along its approximately 6-mile length. At the same time, multiple utility corridors in the area have the potential to provide miles of trails across the area. Pro- viding a balance of destination -oriented non -motorized facili- ties as well as recreational ones will be the challenge in Southeast Renton. There are several major north -south routes connecting to Kent and beyond: Talbot Road, Benson Road/108th Ave SE (SR 515), 116th Avenue SE, and 140th Avenue SE. EXISTING ROUTES CURRENTLY USED BY BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS: • Cedar River Trail (on north side of the river east of the Cedar River Natural Zone) • 140th Ave SE (existing bike lanes) • Benson Road South • Puget Drive SE • SE 164th • Talbot Road South (existing bike lanes south of SW 43 rd/ 1 79th /Carr Road SE • Hiking/walking trails in Cedar River Natural Zone Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Southeast Planning Area Benson Road South "Tower of Power" Trail near Philip Ar- nold Park 33 Separated trail along 116th Avenue Southeast Bike lanes on Talbot Road South North Planning Area 34 TRANSIT ROUTES: • 1081h Ave SE • 1161h Ave SE • Puget Drive SE • SE 168th Street • SE Carr Road • SE Fairwood Boulevard • SR 169 Renton -Maple Valley Road • Talbot Road South OPPORTUNITIES: • Expansion of existing soft -surface or rough path / trails in utility corridors. • Connections with Cedar River Natural Area. • Safe walk -to -school routes (Renton Park Elementary, Talbot Hill Elementary, Nelson Middle School, Cas- cade Elementary, Tiffany Park Elementary). • Regional trail connections: Interurban and Green River Trails and Soos Creek Trail, Soos Creek and the Cedar River Trail, Lake Youngs Watershed Trail. • Connections with Kent and points south via 116th Ave SE and 132n1/140t" Ave SE. • Panther Creek wetlands. • Trail along Thunder Hills Creek. • Trail along Panther Creek wetlands, connecting to the Edlund Property and onto the Springbrook Trail. • Pedestrian trails from multi -family areas to shopping areas. • Good overlap between transit and proposed non - motorized transit routes. North and East Planning Area (Ken nydale/Sunset/East Plateau/Cedar River) Though two separate planning areas, divided by Sunset Boulevard NE/SR 900, the North and East planning areas are grouped together for the purposes of this Master Plan be- cause they are more contiguous and interconnected than other planning areas. The East Planning area is bounded by Maple Valley Road (SR 169) to south, 1-405 and Lake Wash- ington on the west, and Sunset Boulevard NE/SR 900 to the north. The North Planning area is bounded by Lake Wash- ington to the west, Sunset Boulevard NE/SR 900 to the south, the May Creek corridor/May Creek urban separator and Renton City Limits to the north, and the Renton City Lim- its to the east. The terrain is hilly and slopes steeply to Lake Washington on the west and the Cedar River to south. It is primarily residen- tial, with commercial retail nodes and along the arterials, es- City of Renton pecially NE 3rd/NE 41h Street and NE Sunset Boulevard/SR 900. Like the South Planning Area, topography presents a chal- lenge to non -motorized travel in the North Planning Area, and currently limits connections between this area, downtown and Interstate 405 and its impact on nearby arterials and collec- tors also limit east -west access. The east -west routes, Sunset Boulevard NE and NE 3rd and 4th Streets, are busy commercial streets, with higher traffic volumes, higher speeds, and many access points into the strip -type commercial development lining the streets. How- ever, there are some routes parallel to these thoroughfares that can provide alternative access, even if these tend to be short, discontinuous segments. Multiple parallel north -south routes (Edmonds, Monroe, Union and Duvall Avenues NE) could make for a highly connective non -motorized network, and provide opportunities to connect with the area's many civic resources. EXISTING ROUTES CURRENTLY USED BY BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS: • Lake Washington Loop Trail and Lake Washington Boulevard North bike/pedestrian facilities • Cedar River Trail • May Creek Trail • Honey Creek Trail • Edmonds, Monroe, Union, Duvall Avenues NE • Sunset Boulevard NE (SR 900) • NE 3rd/4th Streets/SE 128th Street • NE 12th Street • 148th SE (connects to May Valley Road, May Valley Park, Hazen High School and Apollo Elementary) TRANSIT ROUTES: • Renton -Maple Valley Road (SR 169) • NE 3rd/4th/SE 128th Street • NE Sunset Boulevard (SR 900) • NE 27th Street • Edmonds Ave NE • Union Ave NE • Duvall Ave NE/Coal Creek Parkway • NE 7th Street • NE 12th Street Busy corner on Sunset Boulevard NE Devil's Elbow, along Honey Creek Trail Pedestrian path along NE 12th Street Union Avenue NE Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 35 Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad line along the shoreline of Lake Wash- ington SE May Valley Road 36 OPPORTUNITIES: • NE 10t" and NE 12" Streets as bypass routes to Sun- set Boulevard. • Connections to good distribution of neighborhood parks. • Connections to May and Honey Creek Trails, Cedar River Trail. • Safe walk -to -school routes (Maplewood Heights, Hazen High School, McKnight Middle School). • Existing trails and planned development of the Honey Creek, May Creek, and Kennydale Creek corridors. • Good overlap between transit and possible non - motorized transit routes. • Possible redevelopment of the areas as a result of the Highlands Subarea Plan. • Connections to Bellevue, Newcastle and Issaquah. • Several scenic longer rural routes: SE May Valley Road, SE Jones Road. • Long term redevelopment of the BNSF railroad corri- dor. City of Renton PART 3: RECOMMENDATIONS �..���_�� - � !/ , � \/ � \\� \ \' � \/ .. . � k � \ :��� • �\' .�� 1 - r- � - �%�,, •���>.� �#�� � }-�� - ¥- .- �-- / r4- �- PART 3: RECOMMENDATIONS ROUTING In developing Renton's proposed non -motorized network, it was helpful to think about different categories of routes in or- der to ensure coverage to all kinds of destinations, as well as to determine which trail cross-section is most appropriate. Primary Routes Primary facilities provide regional connections through and within Renton. Because of the longer distances these facili- ties traverse, they will constitute the highest mileage of facili- ties in the system. Examples include the Lake Washington Loop and the Cedar River Trail, both of which are designated regional trails by King County. Primary facilities were selected based on the following crite- ria. The facility should: • Provide continuous connection between major portals to the CBD/downtown/City Center when completed • Serve and connect with the public transportation sys- tem • Avoid high traffic arterials and state highways unless no other feasible direct connection exists • Avoid roadways posted at speeds over 40 miles per hour unless no other feasible direct connection exists • Avoid major hills whenever possible. Secondary Routes Secondary facilities provide subarea/neighborhood connec- tions meant to augment the primary trail system. Typically, they serve smaller commercial, residential, or employment centers, or locations that are not connected by primary facili- ties. As with primary facilities, these facilities may also cover longer distances. An example would be a trail in a utility cor- ridor. Secondary facilities should: Connect the CBD to neighborhoods, major parks, and recreation centers Provide alternative connections to areas served by the primary trail system if either of the following crite- ria apply: Provide a connection between two primary facilities that otherwise would not be connected Trails and Bicycle Master Plan TYPES OF ROUTES • PRIMARY: through routes, connecting city to city • SECONDARY: connecting neighborhood to neighborhood • MINOR: connections within the neighbor- hoods 39 • Provide access to points of interest and scenic fea- tures/destinations that otherwise would not be served by the primary trail system. Minor Routes Minor routes connect residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, employment centers, parks, and specific activity cen- ter to the primary and secondary trail system, provide local connections within these areas, or connect these areas with other nearby locations such as schools. These facilities typi- cally cover shorter distances than either of the other types of facilities. Within this category there is the greatest opportu- nity for expansion, based on development patterns in the City. Encourage More Walking, Hiking and Biking According to a study by the Puget Sound Regional Council, about 5 percent of all trips made in the Central Puget Sound region are bicycle or walking trips, which is comparable to the national average. In Renton, 2.6 percent of commuting trips are made on foot or by bike. In order for Renton to meet the regional average of commuting trips made without cars, as well as to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles and boost recreation, the City must make primary, secondary, and local routes more accessible, and make them safer and more attractive to use on foot or on bike. Boost from Regional Connections On the regional scale, the completion of missing links, exten- sions, and new trail development would add approximately 30 more miles of trail in and around Renton, for a total of ap- proximately 112 miles of regional trail linkage in the City, which is about 63% of King County's total system. Connection to the Green River Trail is possible through the completion of a half -mile missing link between Renton and Tukwila. A planned extension of the Soos Creek Trail to the Cedar River Trail and the development of the Cedar- Sammamish Trail from the Cedar River Trail to Sammamish will provide many additional miles of regional trail through Renton. 40 City of Renton EVALUATION CRITERIA Evaluation criteria were developed to use as the basis for evaluating routes, determining the final selection of routes, the design and cross sections of the routes, and ultimately, as tools for prioritizing the trails for funding and construction. While all the criteria bear significant weight on planning deci- sions, first and foremost, trails and routes need to provide a safe experience for all user groups. The evaluation criteria are based on community needs, safe and efficient bicycle travel. The criteria are listed in proposed order of priority. Safety: The proposed facility should provide a safe trail experience. Accommodation/Accessibility: The proposed facility FACTORS AFFECTING should serve the needs of the maximum number of user SAFETY groups possible; both commuters and recreational users, * Potential for conflict with other trail young and old, pedestrians and cyclists. Some advocate users and vehicles, especially at accommodating differing travel modes, user abilities, and crossings trip purposes through separate facilities --separating faster * Traffic volume, speed, and type: cyclists or equestrians from a primary trail meant to ac- smaller, passenger vehicles vs. commodate pedestrians and less -skilled or slower cy- larger vehicles (e.g. trucks and clists. busses) Continuity & Directness: The proposed facility should * Cross section or geometry of facil- be continuous, clear and easy to follow, proceeding in the ity: proximity to vehicular travel most efficient, and direct pathway possible. Cyclists tend lanes, separation from vehicle to favor routes that require the least expenditure of their lanes, width of facility, grade, sight energy. In addition, navigability and ease of wayfinding distances, surfacing, etc. are extremely important to bicycles and pedestrians. * Perceived safety: overall sense of comfort with the facility Connectivity/Linkage: The proposed facility should link destinations of all levels: neighborhoods, employment centers, schools, parks, shopping, recreation and enter- tainment facilities, public services, and destinations be- yond the city limits. In addition the facility should synchro- nize with transportation nodes and modes through the City, to facilitate multi -modal connections.

Sensitivity: The proposed facility should be designed to respect and avoid harm to wildlife corridors, critical areas, and other sensitive landscapes. Concurrency: The proposed facility should be concur- rent with other City, County and regional non -motorized planning efforts. Funding/Construction Opportunities: Identify opportu- nities to construct the proposed facility as part of other projects, such as the Transportation Improvement Pro- gram (TIP). METHODOLOGY The evaluation criteria above are listed in order of priority. The sample matrix in Figure 6 illustrates the evaluation meth- odology. The routes are evaluated by each criterion, using a simple to use scoring system. This methodology is designed to allow some flexibility and judgment. The final evaluation matrix (Table 1), which identifies projects and their ranking, is located at the end of Recommendations Section (Part 3).

Sample Evaluation Matrix 42 City of Renton CROSS SECTIONS The safety of the users of Renton's trails and bicycle network can be enhanced by building facilities to a consistent stan- dard and maintaining all facilities adequately. The Master Plan includes a set of guidelines for cross sections as a com- panion to the recommended routes. The design guidelines provide a reference to the minimum acceptable construction criteria which will satisfy commonly accepted guidelines for safety. The cross-section guidelines are based on recognized state and national standards, described in the Design Standards section (page 55). Recognized state and national standards include dimensional recommendations for widths, cross - slopes, grades, surface treatments, separation of elements, signage and other elements that make up a new facility or system. They are intended to define minimum dimensional criteria for development of safe facilities functioning under normal conditions. Figure 7, adapted from Washington State Department of Transportation guidelines, recommends cross sections based on roadway classification, traffic speed and volume. In addition to safety and roadway factors, the assignment of cross sections is based on other factors, such as the con- straints of existing conditions and the desired trail experience (see sidebar). GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING CROSS -SECTIONS ON ROADWAYS Adapted ..

Types of Cross Sections Figure 8, indicates that cross sections are categorized off - road or on -road. The individual cross sections are described below. Off -road Facilities Off -road facilities can offer a multitude of benefits: reduced potential for conflicts with motor vehicles, more spacious fa- cilities, scenic settings, direct access to open space and rec- reational facilities. There are two types of off -road facilities considered in this master plan: trails associated with road rights -of -way, and trails on other kinds of public or private lands. On -Street Facilities The beauty of the Renton's street network is that it takes peo- ple where they want to go. And yet for bicyclists and pedes- trians, skill -level, physical ability, level of comfort, and avail- able time determine what route is best. The most direct route may not be the best for every user. While some bicyclists feel comfortable riding on streets without dedicated bicycle facilities, many cyclists do not. According to Bike Plan Source: "Experienced bicyclists often prefer arterials for their traffic controls and directness. Other riders tend to avoid them, if possible, because of the traffic... Arterials ... may be the only streets that break certain barriers like railroad yards, freeways, and rivers. But arterials increasingly provide other benefits to cyclists as well. In suburban areas, for example, many popular destinations --schools, worksites, shops --can only be found along arterials. For destination -oriented bicy- clists, therefore, using arterials may be the only alternative." City of Renton A combination of the facilities described below will be em- ployed on busier roadways like arterials, as well as local and collector streets to create a trail and bicycle network in Ren- ton that will accommodate a wide range of users' comfort and skill levels. MULTI -USE TRAIL This cross-section applies to corridors that are not associated with road rights -of -way. The design of the trail is wide enough to accommodate two-way shared usage by bicyclists and/or pedestrians. Surfacing options include asphalt concrete, Portland cement, gravel or soft -surface. The latter is pre- ferred if hiking of the trail is expected. Examples of off -road trails would be stream, utility, or railroad corridors. MULTI -USE TRAIL at a glance • Not necessarily associated with road right-of-way: could be stream, utility, railroad corridor, park or open space • 1 and 2-way travel .

These soft -surface trails vary in width, but are primarily two to four feet wide. Examples of hiking only trails are May and Honey Creeks, and an example of pedestrian only is the boardwalk on Springbrook Creek. WATER TRAILS The Lake -to -Locks Water Trail is a day -use trail with over 100 public places to launch and land small non -motorized boats in the midst of vibrant Pacific Northwest communities. The lakes of the Lake -to -Locks are Sammamish, Washing- ton, and Union. The locks of the Lake -To -Locks Trail are the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks where fresh water meets salt wa- ter. This is one way to reach the Cascadia Marine Trail on Puget Sound. Water launches from Renton can take place from the Cedar River and numerous locations along the shoreline of Lake Washington. 46 City of Renton SEPARATED MULTI -USE (OR SHARED USE) TRAIL In areas where the road right-of-way is wide enough, a two- way separated trail for shared usage is possible. As with the off -road trail cross-section, surfacing options include asphalt concrete, Portland cement, gravel, or soft -surface. Sepa- rated trails provide greater separation from noise, traffic fumes, and are typically preferred by less -skilled cyclists who do not feel comfortable maneuvering along traffic or who want to travel at lower speeds. According to The Pedestri- ans and Bicycling Information Center, Shared use paths are an addition, and complimen- tary, to the roadway network: they are not a substi- tute for providing access to streets and highways. In the past, some communities have treated the development of a shared use path as the only thing they needed to do to "provide for bicyclists" and give them somewhere to ride. However, even the most extensive trail network cannot provide access to all the origins and destinations in a community, and trail users have to be able to get to and from the trail on the regular street network.

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 dis- continuous 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. The WSDOT Design Manual recommends the following crite- ria be used in determining whether to sign a bike route/ shared roadway: • The route offers a higher degree of service than alter- native streets • The route provides for through and direct travel in bi- cycle corridors • The route connects bicycle facilities • Traffic control devices have been adjusted to accom- modate bicyclists • Street parking is prohibited for improved safety where lane width is critical • Surface hazards to bicyclists have been corrected • Maintenance of the route is at a higher level than comparable streets, such as more frequent street sweeping and repair. SIGNED SHARED ROADWAY at a glance • 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'/4 mile, or at every turn SIDE RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH VARIES .WALK PARKING SHARED SHARED PARKING SIDEI LANE BIKE/VEHICLE BIKEIVENICLE LANE TRAVEL LANE TRAVEL LANE MIN. �'-0" VARIES VARIES 91-011 TWO-WAY SHARED USE ROADWAY, with PARKING 2 shared bikelvehi0le travel lanes, 2 parking lanes 9 RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH VARIES SIDEWALK SNARED TWO-WAY SNARED BIKE/VEHICLE LEFT TURN BIKE/VEHICLE TRAVEL LANE TRAVEL.

In traffic situations shoulders are often used by stopped vehicles and for emergency uses. Even so, a paved shoulder goes a long way to enhancing the corridor for use by bicyclists and pedestrians. In addition to minimum width, paved shoulders should be free from obstructions and have a reliably smooth surface, without rumble strips. PAVED SHOULDERS at a glance • For use by bicyclists and pedestrians + stopped vehicles, emergencies • Width: 5' minimum with curb and gutter, 4' minimum without curb and gutter • Widths should be increased with higher bicycle use, motor ve- hicle speeds above 50 mph, higher percentage of truck and bus traffic. SHARED SIDEWALK A shared sidewalk cross-section allows cyclists to share the sidewalk with a pedestrian. This cross-section is considered a last resort solution in isolated situations such as across bridges and along high speed and high -traffic roadways, which lack adequate right-of-way for the provision of bicycle lanes, but have existing sidewalks. On sidewalks, bicyclists are expected to yield to pedestrians and walk their bicycles if sidewalks are particularly narrow. Both the shared roadways and shared sidewalk cross - sections are included among the alternatives as a means to fill in gaps at difficult locations. Neither is considered an opti- mum solution and both are avoided where possible. SHARED SIDEWALK at a glance • Generally not advised, except for special circumstances: bridges, high speed/high-traffic roadways • Bicyclists must yield to pedestrians COMBINED CROSS -SECTIONS Certain conditions, such as right-of-way limitations, traffic vol- umes, environmental conditions, etc. may preclude the con- sistent use of a single cross-section along a route or street. While consistency is generally the preference, it is preferable to have a facility that uses a combination of cross -sections rather than no facility at all, or one that ends abruptly. City of Renton IMPLEMENTATION OF CROSS SECTIONS It is recommended that, at the project design level, each pro- ject be reassessed to determine the appropriateness of the suggested improvements, and to determine the available right-of-way, etc. Moreover, it is also critical for the Master Plan to have some flexibility in the designation of cross-section. In the evolution of the planning process, certain assumptions were made about existing conditions, road locations in the right-of-way, condition and location of utilities, etc. When the project is finally 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 the Master Plan. In addition, there may be development of other capital projects or changes in funding strategies that dictate a different cross section or facility clas- sification than the one currently identified. DESIGN STANDARDS AASHTO GUIDELINES 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 articu- lated 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. KC Regional Trails Inventory & Guidelines According to the King County Trails website, "the King County Regional Trail System is one of the nation's most ex- tensive multi -use off -road systems with over 175 miles of trails for bicycling, hiking, walking, and horseback riding." 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. The quality and connectivity of local non -motorized networks varies, but the King County system is the backbone of recrea- Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 55 56 tional and commuting use across the region. Some King County regional trails see as many as 2,000 users a day. As such, the regional trail standards are designed to accommo- dating a large number and variety of users in a safe, efficient and enjoyable manner. FUNDING The City of Renton includes a Bicycle Route Development Program in the annual Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is adopted annually by the City Council. The 2009-2014 TIP (Appendix 1) has programmed $448,000 to implement projects identified in the Trail and Bi- cycle Master Plan. 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, as identified in Ap- pendix J. Although it may not be the primary purpose of a particular project or program, many TIP projects have the po- tential 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 de- velopment, and is open to local and state agencies. Under the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP), eligible projects range from long-distance, cross -state rail -trail conversions to small paths connecting neighborhoods or to other trail systems. Grant applications are received on even calendar years. In 2007, King County voters approved Proposition 2, which includes expanding the regional trail system over a six year period, with the last distribution to cities ending in 2013. RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS & PROJECT PRIORITIZATION The recommended trails and bikeways improvements are shown in Figure 9 (city-wide) and Figure 10 (downtown area detail). Tables 1 and 2, following the recommended improvements maps, is the prioritization matrix for the recommended im- provements evaluated on the criteria described earlier in this chapter, and described in the sample evaluation matrix (figure 6). These projects are organized from highest to lowest priority on the basis of their ranking among the criteria. The table identifies each project by location and cross-section. Follow- ing the prioritized matrix is a listing of recommended improve- ments broken down by Parks and Transportation divisions. City of Renton The complete inventory of proposed recommendations and existing facilities can be found in Appendix B, organized al- phabetically. The inventory identifies each route by location, length, proposed cross section, etc. IMPLEMENTATION OF PRIORITIZED PROJECTS Conditions and priorities in all communities change over time. Therefore the entire project list should be periodically re- evaluated. This review should be completed by a group in- cluding residents, committee members, City staff, and others to assure it reflects the needs and desires of the community at large. Reevaluation may involve changes as significant as redefining routes or as minor as shifting project priorities. Maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to the community's concerns and desires will assure long-term success and con- tinued growth of the system. Finally, opportunities for trails and bikeways development may arise (through property acquisition, grant approval, con- currence with other projects, public support, etc.) that could shift project priorities. This list should be reviewed and up- dated periodically as project implementation progresses. PROJECT SHEETS A selection of proposed improvements have been detailed as project sheets, which can be found at the end of the Master Plan.

Nonmotorized networks rely on those same signs, but require additional roadside caution signs and pavement markings to enhance awareness and safety for both motorized and nonmotorized users. In addition, wayfinding signage for bicycles is critical to the connectivity and convenience of the nonmotorized network, especially for links between regional trails, or routes where bicycle facilities may not be contiguous. The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan addresses both caution and wayfinding signage. 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 Devel- opment of Bicycle Facilities. Bicycle route signage is based on regional standards. The timing of the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan process coincided with the Downtown Wayfinding Project, the focus of which was to "guide people into and around the Downtown area, better connect Downtown with The Landing, and enhance Downtown identity." The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan coordinated with the Downtown Wayfinding Project to the extent that it helped identify gateways into the City and location kiosks in relation to the proposed trails and bicycle network. The following pages show examples of the proposed sign types.

Planning for non -motorized facilities is addressed at all levels of government: local, region/county, state, and federal, and numerous plans were reviewed to ensure con - currency with current regional planning efforts and to avoid contradictory recommendations with previous planning ef- forts. At each level of government the messages about bicycle and pedestrian facilities is echoed: to make communities more livable, make them accessible by foot and bicycle. Provide safe and convenient routes through thoughtful design and arrange land uses to make destinations more accessible so people can and will choose to make non -motorized and tran- sit trips rather than driving. The primary basis of the review was the City's Comprehen- sive Plan, its open space plan, and most importantly, existing non -motorized plans: for trails (1993) and for walkways. Several regional plans also held particular relevance for this study. Finally, state and federal planning -level documents were reviewed. CITY OF RENTON PLANNING EFFORTS Comprehensive Plan Several sections of the Comprehensive Plan address non - motorized facilities: the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Element; the Transportation Element; and the Commu- nity Design Element. Non -motorized facilities are addressed both directly and indi- rectly in several goals of the Transportation Element: Goal 1: Contribute to a balanced multi -modal transportation system through reasonable, planned, economically feasible arterial improvements that enhance HOV and transit opera- tions, support adopted land use plans, protect or improve business access, and protect Renton's neighborhoods. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 83 Goal 2: Maximize the use of transit in Renton by providing step-by-step improvements to produce regionally linked and locally oriented transit services and facilities needed to serve travel demand generated by Renton residents and busi- nesses. Goal 4: Maintain, enhance and increase pedestrian and bicy- cle travel by providing both safe and convenient routes and storage for the commuting and recreating public. The Non -motorized Transportation section further articulates these goals by stating that the plan is designed to "enhance the quality of life in Renton, to improve walking and bicycling safety, and to support the pedestrian and bicycle transporta- tion modes as alternatives to the use of automobiles." The plan's objectives include the following: • Recognize and capitalize upon the multi -functionality of non -motorized facilities: accommodate both com- muting and recreational uses • Enhance both internal circulation and linkages to re- gional routes and destinations • Provide connections to open space areas and other recreational opportunities • Ensure a comprehensive, interconnected non - motorized network • Facilitate connections to transit facilities • Recognize and accommodate the diversity of non - motorized travel modes, user abilities (ensuring ADA compliancy of new facilities) and trip purposes • Add hiking trails, water trails, canoe launches The Non -motorized section acknowledges that the City's ex- isting transportation system has not been oriented toward accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists and the policies. The non -motorized plan, therefore, provides a framework to reevaluate the existing system for the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, and to provide for a better environment for non -motorized travel. Approximately a dozen policies provide a basis for expanding and enhancing the existing network, addressing the following aspects: • Bicyclists and pedestrians • Transit use • Universal access • The interrelation of the motorized network to the non - motorized 84 City of Renton • The diversity of transportation modes/user groups and trip purposes • Separation between modes/users and safety of users • Hiking • Water trails The existing bicycle and pedestrian network is briefly de- scribed and evaluated. Proposed routes are listed. Outside of the central business district, the Plan states that bicycles are allowed to share the sidewalks with pedestrians, provided they yield to those on foot. At the same time, the plan encourages the separation of modes, in the name of safety, to the greatest degree possible. As the City's network expands, this policy may need to be reevaluated in light of creating a more hospitable and safe environment for pedestri- ans. Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Element The following objectives and policies within the Parks, Rec- reation, Open Space, and Trails Element deal with non - motorized facilities: Objective P-F: Create a walkable community by developing and maintaining a comprehensive trails system that provides non -motorized access through the City, maximizes public ac- cess to parks, schools, and open space areas, connects to regional trail systems, and provides increased recreational opportunities for the public. Policy P-63: Trails should provide for the needs of a diverse population of users including groups such as adults, children, seniors, workers, the disabled and other people engaging in either passive and/or active pursuits including: a. pedestrians, b. recreational bicyclists, c. joggers/runners, d. in -line skaters, e. bicycle commuters f. canoeists and kayakers, and g. hikers. Policy P-66: Linkages should be provided with surrounding communities within major regional corridors such as the Ce- dar River, Green River, the Lake Washington Loop, and the Soos Creek Trail. Policy P-68: Integrate Renton's recreational trail needs into a comprehensive trail system serving both local and regional users. Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 85 Policy P-69: Plan and coordinate appropriate pedestrian and bicycle commuter routes along existing minor arterial and col- lector arterial corridors. Policy P-69: Plan and coordinate appropriate pedestrian and bicycle commuter routes along existing minor arterials and collector arterial corridors. Policy 78: Provide opportunities for the public to access, via Lake Washington, the "Lakes to Locks" regional water trail system. Again, the separation between foot/bicycle and between trails and roadway, where possible, is advocated. Community Design Element The section on streets, sidewalks and streetscape in the Community Design Element promotes pedestrian -friendly de- sign through a number of objectives and policies aimed at more detailed design considerations. One policy in particular, however, suggests a number of important criteria for enhanc- ing non -motorized connectivity: Policy CD-60. Criteria should be developed to locate pedes- trian and bicycle connections in the City. Criteria should con- sider: • Linking residential areas with employment and com- mercial areas; • Providing access along arterials; • Providing access within residential areas; • Filling gaps in the existing sidewalk system where ap- propriate; and • Providing access through open spaces and building entries to shorten walking distances In conclusion, the inclusion, enhancement and promotion of non -motorized facilities are supported on many levels through the City's Comprehensive Plan. 1993 Trails Master Plan The 1993 Trails Master Plan is a thorough and well - considered plan for the development of a trail system in and around Renton, the first of its kind for the City. It was adopted as part of the Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Plan. The plan reflects a focus on open space, preser- vation, and recreation, and was created through a compre- hensive community involvement process. The plan breaks the City up into six geographic planning ar- eas (though the City now uses slightly different planning ar- eas), based on boundaries formed by major vehicular trans- 86 City of Renton portation corridors or major geographic features: Interstate 405, State Routes 900 (Sunset Boulevard), 167 (the Valley Freeway), and 169 (Maple Valley Road and the Cedar River). Within these areas, the plan identifies the major corridors and travel routes for non -motorized travel: • Northeast Corridors: East Shore Lake Washington, May Creek/Honey Creek • East Corridors: Renton -Issaquah • Southeast Corridors: Cedar River, Seattle and Mercer Island Waterlines • Southwest Corridors: Orillia-Petrovitsky, Green River Valley • West Corridor: Black River • Northwest Corridor: West Shore Lake Washington Each of the proposed corridors, and subsequently the feasi- bility of the proposed routes, is thoroughly analyzed. The plan recommends a separate, hierarchical system of major and minor trails for pedestrians (24 routes) and bicyclists (28 routes). Many routes share the street right-of-way, and five are mixed use, along separated rights -of -way. In addition, the plan details trail standards and puts forth an implementation plan. Though the proposed routes are not all still valid, and conditions throughout the City have changed, the plan provides an excellent foundation and resource for non -motorized planning today. It is interesting to contrast the 1990 plan's focus on open space, preservation, and recrea- tion with the current climate of non -motorized planning, with the greater emphasis on bicycling as a mode of transporta- tion. 2004 Draft Trails Plan The more recent current trails plan provides an updated in- ventory of existing and planned trails, and serves as a plan- ning -level resource. It identifies 31 trails or routes, for both hiking and biking, de- scribing in general terms the existing conditions and pro- posed character (surfacing, primarily) of each trail (see Ap- pendix F). In addition, connections and destinations (parks or facilities) are mapped on top of aerial photographs for each route. Comprehensive Citywide Walkway Study (2003) The Comprehensive Citywide Walkway Study is in some ways the counterpart to the trails and bikeways plan. The study features a detailed analysis of how pedestrians are ac- Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 87 commodated in the City's existing street network and an iden- tification of the missing links in the system. It also includes detailed analyses and strategies for building out sidewalks — cross-section options, evaluation/prioritization systems, time- lines, cost estimates, and funding options. The overall purpose of this study differs somewhat from the Trails and Bikeways Plan, with its focus on inventory, identifi- cation of missing links and the implementation of sidewalks. However, the study is a valuable complement to the Trails and Bikeways Plan. Long Range Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Implementation Plan (2003) The adopted Long Range Parks, Recreation, Open Space Plan presents a valuable mix of big -picture and more detailed analysis of the City's public lands, present and proposed. Parks and open spaces are important trip generators for non - motorized travel. The identification of existing and future des- tinations is an important component of the Renton Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. In addition, the plan nicely describes the City's physical setting — natural features, topography, and character. REGIONAL LEVEL Destination 2030: Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region (revised 2006) The Puget Sound Regional Council developed Destination 2030 to provide a strategy for making regional decisions re- lated to growth, transportation, and other elements that affect the quality of life for residents of the region. The report proposes strategies to curb trends leading to greater congestion, many of which support and encourage non -motorized improvements. Specific policies that support the Trails and Bikeways Plan echo the policies in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan, last revised in 2006, was prepared as a first step toward implementation of the policies set forth in Vision 2030 and Destination 2030, a re- gional planning document that provides a strategy for deci- sions related to growth and transportation. The MTP identi- fies the need to invest in three major program areas: • Development of a Regional Network of Non -motorized Transportation Facilities. City of Renton • Development of Local Networks for Non -motorized Travel. • Development of Transit Access for Pedestrians and Cyclists. In addition, the MTP includes a map demarcating a Prelimi- nary Regional Non -motorized Network, which includes major separated trails or bikeways and shared use bikeways or walkways. Appendix 9 "Projects" identifies transportation im- provements; both motorized and non -motorized that are for- mally part of Destination 2030. Data obtained from these list- ings will be used as an aid in developing this plan. King County Regional Trail Inventory and Implementation Guidelines (2004) The City of Renton is sited at the juncture of several impor- tant regional trails. King County's regional trail inventory ex- amines each trail in its system, identifying missing links and proposing short-term and long-term uses for each of these corridors. The regional trails/corridors that pass through or near Renton include: • Interurban Trail • Green River Trail • Lake Washington Loop • Cedar River Trail • Soos Creek Trail Connections to and between these trails will provide both re- gional and local trail -user benefits and will be a priority of this plan. Of particular interest and priority to King County are connections between the following regional trail corridors: • Green River/Interurban Trail and Cedar River Trail/ Lake Washington Loop • Cedar River Trail and East Lake Sammamish Trail • Cedar River and Soos Creek Trails Making these connections has also been identified by the public as the highest priority for Renton's non -motorized net- work. Left by the Side of the Road: Puget Sound Regional Bicycle Network Study, Assessment and Recommendations (Cascade Bicycle Club, 2005) This document purports to be the "most detailed assessment of bicycle routes ever performed" in the Puget Sound region. The study examines existing conditions, identifies missing links and prioritizes key connections. It also rates existing Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 99 •M bike routes with a pass or fail rating based on a number of different factors. The plan examines routes through Downtown Renton, and rates the NE 3rd/4th Street route "fail." In addition, the plan identifies a missing link called the "Black River Connector Trail," which would connect the Interurban Trail with the Black River Trail (enabling a connection with the Lake Washington Loop) via 68th S/Monster Rd and Ft. Dent Park in Tukwila. This trail segment has appeared in other plans as the "Fort Dent Connector" and is also seen as a high priority by King County. As with King County's regional trail plan, improvements and completion of these routes would provide benefits beyond just the City of Renton, and are given high priority accord- ingly. 1-405 Corridor Improvements The 1-405 Congestion Relief and Bus Rapid Transit Projects is a multi -modal strategy that features a number of bicycle and pedestrian improvements through jurisdictions along the corridor, as part of the larger 1-405 Corridor Improvements Project. Six improvements are identified in the Renton/ Tukwila area and will help complete the non -motorized net- work. Some of these improvements, including some in Ren- ton, are described in the first phase of the master plan, and will be funded through the Washington State Department of Transportation 2003 "Nickel" Funding Package. Others are planned for future phases of the project, to be funded through various funding mechanisms (see Appendix J). Shorter -term enhancement possibilities associated with the I- 405 improvements include the widening of several routes that pass under or over 1-405: • Oakesdale Avenue Southwest • Talbot Road South • Benson Road South These routes are currently not wide enough to safely accom- modate bicycles and pedestrians. The City is working with WSDOT to create safer non -motorized routes as these corri- dors are redeveloped. BNSF Rail Corridor Preservation Study King County and the Port of Seattle are considering a pur- chase and land swap deal that would allow the approximately City of Renton 65-mile Burlington Northern Sante Fe rail corridor for devel- opment as a trail. The BNSF line is the route of the former Spirit of Washington Dinner Train, whose terminus was in downtown Renton at Burnett Avenue South. BNSF temporar- ily closed the line in 2007 to allow improvements to bridges through downtown Renton. The corridor will still be used to move fuselages between the Boeing Renton Plant and Everett. Details for the development of the corridor were be- ing negotiated during the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan proc- ess. The development of the corridor would provide several important opportunities for trail connections/trail heads, and access to the central business district, transit, and some parks/community centers through Renton. These potential connections will be incorporated into the Trails and Bikeways Plan. STATE LEVEL Washington's Transportation Plan (WTP) 2007-2026 (2006) The WTP recognizes the many benefits bicycling and walking provide to a community: environmental, health, and a reduc- tion in congestion and positive economic impact. "Innovation should also facilitate readily available alternative transporta- tion, including bicycles and walking, which conserve energy and contribute to personal health." The goals of the Bicycle Transportation and Pedestrian Walkways Plan are to in- crease non -motorized travel while also increasing safety, through the following strategies: Maximizing funding through partnerships Raising awareness of the needs for bicycle and pe- destrian safety Sharing information on bicycle and pedestrian issues between agencies, jurisdictions, and organizations in Washington State. Increasing safety is a major focus of the plan, and it proposes to do this through engineering, education and enforcement. Recommendations within Renton's Trails and Bikeways Plan will meet the following criteria for the funding of projects through state funds: • Improving intersections by providing: curb extensions, lighting, raised median, crosswalk enhancements, signs, signals, and mid -block crossing treatments • Completing bicycle lanes and sidewalks • Constructing bicycle and pedestrian paths • Providing safe routes to transit Trails and Bicycle Master Plan 91 • Providing pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements for at -risk group (children, the elderly, and people with disabilities) • Distribution of educational materials. 92 City of Renton TERMINOLOGYAND DEFINITIONS This master plan uses a variety of terms to describe pro- posed and facilities/improvements for bicyclists and pedestri- ans. These terms are adapted from WSDOT Design Manual, Section 1020 Bicycle Facilities. Bicycle route — An officially designated system of facilities for use by bicyclists. A series of bicycle facilities may be combined to establish a continuous route and may consist of any or all types of bicycle facilities. Bike lane — A portion of a highway or street identified by signs and pavement markings intended for exclusive use by bicycles. Dedicated facility— a bike lane, path or other improvement for the exclusive use by bicycles and/or pedestrians Facility— general term used to describe a set of improve- ments or measures designed to accommodate bicycles or pedestrians Path — In this master plan, the term path is used to denote an informal route, such as a footpath or desire path. Shared roadway — a roadway that is open to both bicycle and motor vehicle travel. This may be an existing roadway, a street with wide curb lanes, or a road with paved shoulders. Shared -use or multi -use path/trail — a facility, often within a road -right-of-way, that is physically separated from motor ve- hicle traffic and designed for use by a variety of non - motorized users. Signed shared roadway — a roadway that has been desig- nated as a route for bicycle use by signing and/or other measures intended to increase safety and convenience for bicycles. Trail — according the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (1999), "in many states, the term trail means an unimproved recreational facility". In this master plan, the term trail is used to denote an official non -motorized facility, whether planned or existing, and will be used with qualifying descriptors, such as multi -use trail. Walkway— pedestrian facilities that can be either separated from roadways, such as sidewalks and paths, or part of road- ways, such as crosswalks or wide shoulders.

Contact 255-0290. recommended Pedestrian path along SW Langston to Sunset to 68th Avenue South • Fort Dent connector should be a high priority. routes & improvements ' Continue Soos Creek Trail up to waterline ROW. • Smithers from 7th to high school is a good route. • Rainier Avenue South - difficult transition southbound at city limits. Northbound not as bad, but trail continuity could be better. • SW 7th is good path choice. • RR ROW from Monster Road to downtown is good path choice. • Need trail from NE 3rd Street through Liberty Park to Maple Valley Highway. • Need path to Hazen High School from Union Avenue NE along NE 10th Place. • Continue Duvall Avenue NE path to SE 136th Street. • South 4th Street from Shattuck to Burnett good path choice. • Continue garden south from North 6th to North 2nd Street, east to Factory Avenue North • Improve signage along Jones Road for traffic safety, make bike lane and sidewalk. • Panther Creek wetland path - good idea. • Improve Burlington Northern access from Monster Road to Green River Trail. • Use water/powerline easement for path along South 132nd Street between MLK Jr. Way South and Renton Avenue South • Connect May Creek Trail to Newcastle Trail. • Use BNSF corridor for mass transit (rail)/bike & trail • Earlington Park path along powerline, waterline at 134th, bike trail from P&R diagonally to NW or multi -use in Seattle City Light corridor. • Talbot Road South - need northbound transition on approach to South 43rd. roblem S • Talbot from City Hall to Puget Drive South is dangerous. p p OtS • Sidewalks force bikes into traffic at corners of SE 168th between 116th SE and SE 128th. • Need a northbound transition zone on Talbot Road at South 43rd. • Sidewalk alternate is bad to riding in traffic at South 43rd between 167 and Talbot Road South • Pedestrian pushbutton not responsive at Airport Way • Sunset at 38th; need left turn (northbound) bike lane • Need left -turn bike lane Duvall to NE 4th Street • Need left -turn bike lane; southbound Duvall to NE 4th Street • Difficult crossings: SW Sunset Blvd & Taylor South 3rd Place & Rainier Avenue S Logan & Airport Way Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Summary of Public Comments, Open House #2 182 Trails and Bicycle Master Plan APPENDIX E 183 184 Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Public Open House #3: Public Comments November 12, 2008 Overall • Clarify information in the 6-year TIP. What money from that budget is available for these projects? • How long before 71n can be developed? • Is education/trail etiquette going to be addressed? Station 1: Routes and Cross Sections • 1541n/164tn corridor unsafe, especially at the bottom of the hill. Could paved shoulder be striped as bike lane? The bridge transition over the Cedar River eliminates the roadway shoulder for bikes/pedestrians to utilize and is an unsafe transition. • Don't wait so long to make improvements to an east/west corridor — specifically 7tn • 154tn crossing at Maple Valley Highway extremely dangerous • Put bike lanes on 7tn now. In response to the difficulty of eliminating a travel lane, commenter noted that a travel lane on Rainier was eliminated and that didn't create problems. • Grade separation between walkers and bikers on multi -use trails. Between Lake and Shattuck on 2nd, add a separated trail on the north side to address eastbound needs on one-way westbound street • 154tn shoulder could include a bike lane symbol. • 154tn has a "Share the Road" sign at the bottom, but needs same at the top of the hill • Designated bike lanes needed on Cemetery Road (NE 3rd/41n Streets) and Sunset. • Extremely difficult to get to post office (NE 4tn Street) — difficult crossing. • Time lines are important. Tell us in the final report what the schedule is for these improvements. • East -west route most critical to provide now - 7tn just needs paint, should be top priority. • Houser at north end at Lake Washington Blvd / by The Landing intersection— needs to be addressed. Cyclists have to go against 1-way traffic and cross railroad twice, which is extremely dangerous in wet conditions. Is there some way this route can be improved? • Another supporter for east -west connector — anywhere, just make it safe. • North 3rd and Sunset is the worst intersection in the City. 185 • Route that may need further study/consideration: Houser Way route past, but not through PACCAR gate, stay out of tunnel but divert onto sidewalk at 3rd. This puts you on the east side of the road, where it is possible to make connections up the hill. This route was identified as the best way to get from LW loop to the neighborhoods up on the hill, avoiding the construction underway further north on Park. This was also identified as a good route to skirt the busy downtown area. • Is Shari's/Silver Cloud/ Fire Route currently available and what improvements are planned? • At Garden and 41" — remove barrier and provide signage giving cyclists the ok to go against traffic. • SE 140t" at top of hill (light at Fairwood — by powerlines) — clean up glass and garbage. • Improve maintenance of shoulders, especially sweeping, and not just out of travel lanes, but off shoulders. • Education, especially on excessive bike speeds/passing courtesy important. • Check King County map to compare our existing conditions map. Cascade Club ride leaders often refer riders to this map to explain routes. • Other problematic intersections: Bronson Way and Factory Avenue North, South 3rd Street at Main and Mill Avenue South. Station 2: Projects and Priorities • The "triangle" between the Green River/Interurban Trails, the Cedar River Trail, and Lake Washington Loop is biggest missing link, esp. for recreational cyclists. • Cedar River Trail to Coulon Park/Lake Washington Loop is another big missing link. • Two Rivers Trail, especially SW 71" Street should be highest priority — multiple comments on this route. • East -west corridors needed to the south as well — between Kent, Tukwila and Renton. Lots of people commute north -south from Kent to points north. • Show completed sections of bike lanes on 140t" and Soos Creek trail. • On Philip Arnold Park connector, Renton/Cedar Ave. South preferred to Beacon between 4t" and 7t" Station 3: Wayfinding Signage 186 • On existing routes with parking, use "share the road" sign, especially residential streets where there is no room for bike lane. • Speed limit signs for designated bike trail (15 mph, see King County code). • On 154th Place SE/where it becomes SE 142"d, install "share the road" signs at top of hill for southbound (downhill) traffic. • Bridge at bottom of 154th not wide enough — use "Watch for Bikes" signage. • Add signs to separate fast/slow riders, where appropriate, for safe shared facilities (Bikers and Walkers 10 mph). • Add green bike boxes at intersections. • Research other pavement markings applicable to bicyclists, such as green lane markers. • Include Trail Ends sign to alert cyclists. • Use bike symbol to show bikes where to position on loop detectors • Consider signing a route up the hill to 1161h by way of waterline right-of-way past Philip Arnold Park. Guide Map • Benson, Carr/Petrovitsky Rd, NE 3rd/4th are too dangerous to be on the map — too narrow, no space for bikes. • Recommendation for route from Cedar River to points west: north on Mill, west on 2nd north on Burnett, west on Tobin. • Add trail etiquette tips on guide map. • Add chevron/grade arrows on Union, SE 1681h, SE 192"d • Add local bike route from downtown to Philip Arnold Park. • Add arrows at hills. Station 5: Intersections/Routes and Solutions • 7th and Talbot/Grady congestion and right-of-way issues at the intersection leads to driver/non-motorized user confusion and safety concerns. • Cedar River Bridge crossing at 154th Place from Highlands/Plateau to Cedar River Trail — bikers must merge into vehicle travel lane for non -motorized crossing of bridge. The transition is complicated with a 10% roadway grade and no traffic control measures to slow vehicles. • Bike lane transition through signalized intersections — consider installation of shared lane markings/striping before and after signal. 187 • Southbound Shattuck crossing Grady — bike detector loop needed. • 16" and Oakesdale eastbound — 16th signal induction loop has issues with bike detection/8`" and Garden also needs to have bike detection capability. • Bike lanes on Logan interrupted by curb bulb -outs. • Add pavement markings for bike loop detectors. 188 Trails and Bicycle Master Plan APPENDIX F 189 190 2004 Draft Trails Plan Routes & Status 2008 STATUS 1 ROUTE Black River Trail Type of Facility Multi -use LENGTH 1.53 SUR- FACING Paved & SS 2 Burnett Trail SW & BL 1.3 3 Cascade Trail (waterline) Multi -use 3.2 Paved & SS 4 Cedar River Trail Multi -use 4.5 EXISTING Ped only north of 6th St 5 Devil's Elbow Trail Multi -use 1.7 6 Duvall Trail SW & BL 2.6 EXISTING 7 Fairwood Trail (140th Ave SE) SW & BL 3 EXISTING 8 Honey Creek Trail Ped. only 0.95 Soft -surface 9 Lake Washington Trail Multi -use 2.7 EXISTING 10 Lake Youngs Trail Multi -use 2.7 Soft -surface 11 May Creek Trail Ped. only 2.5 Soft -surface 12 NE 3rd/NE 4th Trail SW & BL 2.8 13 Oakesdale Trail SW & BL 1.7 EXISTING Bike lane ends at 27th 14 Panther Creek Trail Ped. only 15 Petrovitsky Trail (S 43rd/SE Carr Rd/SE 176th St) SW & BL 4.8 16 Soos Creek Trail Ped. only 2.28 Paved EXISTING Extend from Blvd Park to SE Petrovitsky Rd 17 Springbrook Trail Multi -use 2.86 Paved EXISTING Two missing segments 18 Sunset Trail SW & BL 3.2 Paved 19 SW 7th Trail SW & BL 1.3 20 Talbot Trail SW & BL 2.4 21 Thunder Creek Trail Ped. only Soft -surface 22 Union Trail (132nd Ave SE) SW & BL 2.09 23 SW 16th Street Trail SW & BL EXISTING 24 Interurban Trail Multi -use 10 EXISTING Regional trail 25 Monster Road Trail BL EXISTING 26 Fort Dent Connector Multi -use 0.25 27 Sam Chastain Memorial Trail Ped. only 0.71 28 Cedar Sammamish Trail Multi -use 10-20 29 Seattle Waterline Trail Ped. only 2.5 Soft -surface 30 Puget Drive Trail SW & BL 0.85 31 Benson Trail SW & BL * Numbering system is from Trail Plan 191 192 Trails and Bicycle Master Plan APPENDIX G 193 194 DESTINATIO Appendix 9: Projects 71 '^r Rif f, Puget Sound Regionol Council July 24"i. 2008 195 DESTINATIO Uadate Appendix 9: Projects July 24, 2008 Puget Sound Regional Counci 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 500 Seaf0e, Washington 98104-1035 206-464.7090 / FAx 206-587-4825 / psrc.org 196 'o uv?

The 1-405 Congestion Relief and Bus Rapid Transit Projects improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the corridor by providing safe highway crossings, and neighborhood trail linkages. These include five improved crossings in Bothell and Snohomish County, one in Bellevue, and two in Renton. Ten missing connections between existing trails will help to create regional pedestrian/bicycle routes, including completion of non -motorized systems in Renton and Tukwila, improved use of railroad right-of-way in Kirkland, and providing key trail linkages in Bothell. The map to the right shows the existing trail system along the 1-405 corridor. The lettered bike/ped symbols indicate new or additional bicycle and pedestrian improvements as outlined in the 1-405 Corridor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Master Plan. The "Nickel" projects in Kirkland, Bellevue, and Renton are the first phase of the Master Plan. The Nickel Funding Package for three projects on 1-405 provides for improved bike/pedestrian features within the nickel project designs. Additional bike/pedestrian improvements, as shown here, are planned in future phases of the project, which will be funded through future funding packages, grants, and funding mechanisms such as the Regional Transportation Investment District. -r sz� SNOHOMISH COUNTY KING COUNTY V► Burke Gilman r n 22 z S­­' River Tail Tolt PiPline T NE 160th S.

This includes public education, promotional, and safety programs for using such facilities. Surface Transportation Program (STP) — MPO Allocation Qualifying projects include bicycle and pedestrian facilities and spot improvements, wheelchair ramps, and other eligible enhancement activities, including the modification of public sidewalks to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Surface Transportation Program (STP) — Enhancement Program The monies are to be expended for non-traditional type projects including historic preservation transportation facilities and museums, landscaping and beautification, scenic highways, bike and pedestrian facilities and education, rail corridors preservation, and outdoor advertising control. State Funds Pedestrian & Bicycle Program Projects that help reduce fatal and injury collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists in Washington are eligible to apply for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Grants. These safety -focused projects may also support increased mobility and encourage more people to bicycle and walk. Types of eligible projects and programs include those that make engineering improvements and provide public education and outreach. Sidewalk Program — TIB The intent of the Urban Sidewalk Program is to provide funding for projects that address safety, access to generators, and system connectivity. All projects must be transportation related on a federally classified route and be consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Safe Route to Schools The Washington State Legislature provides funding to support pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, such as pedestrian and bicycle paths, sidewalks, safe routes to school and transit. The Safe Routes to School Grants were established to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety near schools. 215 Local Funding Parks Levy Trails can receive funding in two ways. Sixty percent of the King County Proposition 2 Levy is dedicated for "King County's acquisition and development of rights of way for regional trails... consistent with the Regional Trails Plan including acquisition of missing critical links and/or maximization of regional trail use, and for repayment of costs." Another 20% of the levy is dedicated for "distribution to cities in King County of which fifty percent shall be distributed based on city population, and of which fifty percent shall be distributed based on the assessed valuation. City projects means the acquisition of open space and natural lands and the acquisition and development of county regional trails or city trails that are regional in nature, and may specifically include local trails in underserved areas linking to city or county trails that connect to regional trails." (KC Ordinance 15750, Section 5). The last distribution to cities from this levy will be in 2013. General Fund Funding for non -motorized projects is a line item in a city's general fund. This funding can be used to fund non -motorized projects as the city deems appropriate. 216 Funding Source Grant Criteria: CMAQ 10 % for Non -motorized =150 Total Points 50 Points = Designated Urban Centers - Based on the urban center environment, the project's impact on urban center, and the circulation within the center. 50 Points = Manufacturing/Industrial Centers - Based on mobility and accessibility, connecting corridors, benefit to center, system continuity, and the long term benefit/sustainability. 10 Points = Project Readiness/Financial Plan 40 Points = Air Quality STP 10% for Non -motorized =150 Total Points 50 Points = Designated Urban Centers - Based on the urban center environment, the project's impact on urban center, and the circulation within the center. 50 Points = Manufacturing/Industrial Centers - Based on mobility and accessibility, connecting corridors, benefit to center, system continuity, and the long term benefit/sustainability. 30 Points = Project Readiness/Financial Plan 20 Points = Air Quality STP Project Enhancement Funds =100 Total Points 15 Points = Project supports regional growth centers, local town or activity centers and the corridors connecting these locations 15 Points Community demonstrates support for the project 20 Points Project Readiness/Financial Plan 50 Points Non -motorized projects criteria: • Project connects or links to a non -motorized system or network • Project connects to other multimodal facilities • Project addresses current non -motorized needs in the community • Level of current and future land use in the vicinity of the facility that would be expected to provide utilization of the facility Pedestrian and Bicycle Program =15 Total Points 5 Points = Current Conditions — Do the current conditions indicate risk for pedestrians and/or bicyclists. 217 5 Points = Project Impact — How well will the project: reduce potential pedestrian and bicycle conflicts with motor vehicle traffic and/or establish safer and fully accessible crossings, walkways, trails or bikeways. 5 Points = Implementation — Is there a demonstrated need for the proposed improvements, and, if appropriate for the project/program, a strong partnership among local agencies that will ensure this project moves ahead on time and on budget. Sidewalk Program (Urban and Regional) =100 Total Points 50 Points = Pedestrian Safety — How safe is the existing and future non -motorized connection based on the existing condition, proposed improvement, accident history, and existing hazards. 35 Points Pedestrian Access — What is the direct access from existing facilities and structure, what access improvements does the project make, and how does the project help complete the entire network. 15 Points = Local Support — How the project affects the community, and how much financial support is the community providing for the project. Safe Route to Schools Programs = 20 Total Points 5 Points = Engineering Improvements — How well the project has or will: reduce potential pedestrian and bicycle conflicts with motor vehicle traffic; reduce traffic volume around schools; and/or establish safer and fully accessible crossings, walkways, trails or bikeways. 5 Points = Education and Encouragement Efforts — How well the project has or will teach about: bicycling, walking and/or driving safety skills, the health effects of walking and biking, the impact to the environment, the broad range of transportation choices and provide events and activities utilized to promote walking and biking to school safely. 5 Points = Enforcement Component — How well the enforcement efforts of the project has or will address traffic safety and help to increase the number of children walking and biking to school safely? 5 Points = Implementation — Is there a demonstrated need for the proposed improvements and a strong partnership among local agencies that will ensure this project moves ahead on time and on budget? 218 ATTACHMENT: Program Source Timing Funding Level Due Dates Eligible Activities Competition Criteria Congressional request earmarks Federal Annual $0 - $10 m per year Aug -Sept Various National When a significant need is identified.
