Strander Blvd Project as described in Section 4.4 of this Agreement.
3.1.2 Rainier Avenue Project. Sound Transit shall reimburse the City a
maximum not to exceed amount of Fourteen Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars
($14,900,000) for the Rainier Avenue Project.
3.1.3 Tukwila Sounder Station. During development of the Strander Blvd
Project,the Parties may determine that certain elements of the Strander Blvd Project have
2
mutual benefit to the Tukwila Sounder Station project. Upon mutual agreement of cost
sharing between the City and Sound Transit in an amendment to this Agreement or
subsequent separate agreement,these elements will be constructed by the City with funding
contributions from Sound Transit.
3.1.4 Funding Schedule. Sound Transit's payments to the City for the Strander
Blvd and Rainier Avenue Projects shall be made as described in Section 7.3 of this
Agreement and consistent with the funding schedule attached and incorporated herein as
Exhibit"A."
3.2 City Funding Commitment. The City shall be responsible for all remaining costs
for the two City Projects over and above Sound Transit's contributions to the City Projects.
If the actual costs exceed the City's estimates for the two Projects, Sound Transit shall not
be obligated to increase its contribution under this Agreement. If the total City Project costs
exceed the available matching funding from the City or other sources,the City may reduce
the scope of the general purpose improvements,but in no event shall the City reduce the size

4.1.1 Strander Boulevard Project: General Project Scope Description. The
Strander Boulevard Project is located within Renton City limits on SW 27th Street and
Tukwila City limits on Strander Boulevard.
The Project includes the design and construction of a new east-west arterial roadway
that will connect the cities of Renton and Tukwila, and provide significant congestion relief
to existing arterials. The anticipated Project scope includes building a new multiple lane
arterial from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW, including a grade-separated
crossing of the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, an
embankment to be incorporated into the Tukwila Station Project, and a direct access
connection from Strander Boulevard to the Tukwila Sounder Station parking lot. The
Project will also include construction of curb and gutters, landscape planter/median strips,
sidewalk, and a shared-use pathway. The Project will include the Transit Elements defined
below, and will have quantifiable benefits to transit in improving transit speed and
reliability, specifically to the Tukwila Sounder Station. It is anticipated that, due to the
overall cost of the Project,that construction will be phased over several years as follows:
Phase 1 (completed in 2006)—New roadway from Oakesdale Avenue to Naches
Avenue.
Phase 2 (current phase covered by this Agreement)—Construction of the BNSF
undercrossing and a two lane roadway from Naches Avenue to the Tukwila Sounder
Station,to include a connection at the southwest corner of Tukwila Sounder Station
for vehicles.
Phase 3 (future phase dependent upon additional funding)—Construction of the
UPRR undercrossing and completion of the multiple lane roadway from Naches
Avenue to West Valley Highway,to include relocated connections at the southeast
corner of Tukwila Sounder Station for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This
phase may be further staged as funding becomes available.
4.1.2 Rainier Avenue Project: General Project Scope,Description. The
Rainier Avenue Project is located within the Renton City limits on Rainier Avenue South
from the intersection of South 2nd Street to the vicinity of the intersection of South Grady
Way. The Project will include the design and construction of north and southbound business
access and transit("BAT") lanes on Rainier Avenue South that will allow Sound Transit and
King County Metro express bus service to reduce travel time through the heavily congested
Rainier Avenue corridor. Sidewalks and planting strips all along Rainier Avenue South will
also need to be rebuilt for non-motorized travel. Rainier Avenue South will receive
improved transit rider facilities(benches, shelters, information kiosks, etc.), landscaped
medians, vehicle left turn restrictions, widened sidewalks(including new planter strips and
pedestrian scale lighting), and concrete pavement at the approaches to key intersections and
pedestrian crossings.
4.2 Renton's Responsibility. As lead agency, Renton will be responsible for
completion of all aspects of the two City Projects described herein, including,but not
limited to, environmental documentation, final design, permitting, and construction, and will

10. PRESERVING SOUND TRANSIT'S INVESTMENT
10.1 Transit Use. Upon completion,the Transit Elements will be dedicated for transit
use for the useful life of the improvements,which is assumed to be forty(40)years. The
City will consult with Sound Transit and obtain written approval from Sound Transit prior to
implementing any change to the operating characteristics of the Transit Elements within the
City of Renton city limits that would cause a change in the functional use of the
improvements, including a change in the use of the improvements from transit use to general
purpose use. A change in functional use means the transit improvement can no longer be
10
used by Sound Transit for the purpose for which it was designed, constructed and funded,
including a change from transit to general-purpose use.
10.2 Reimbursement. In the event that there is a change in the functional use of any of
the Transit Elements in a manner that substantially precludes the transit use of the
improvement by Sound Transit, Sound Transit shall be reimbursed the undepreciated then-
remaining amount of its original contribution under this Agreement and any subsequent
funding agreements. That amount shall be determined using the straight-line method of
depreciation of the original funding contribution over the useful life of the transit
improvement;assuming, for this purpose, a forty (40)year useful life. The then-remaining
amount shall be determined at the time of the change in functional use, and reimbursement
shall be due at that time and payable within thirty(30) days. Sound Transit may agree to
waive this reimbursement requirement. None of the costs and expense associated with the
original design, surveys,or preparation of environmental documentation of the Transit
Elements shall be included in any reimbursement.
