Project Scope The City of Sumner, in conjunction with funding partners, is seeking PSRC funds needed to construct a parallel bridge over SR 410. This project will add capacity to Traffic Avenue and improve the functional operation of the SR 410/Traffic Avenue Interchange. This project will reconfigure two intersections of a congested highway interchange and add two lanes plus a shared-use path on a new parallel bridge structure across SR 410. The improvements will facilitate the movement of vehicles, freight, pedestrians, and bicycles safely and efficiently through the interchange while encouraging ridership on Sound Transit commuter trains and support for South Sound businesses both independent Main Street businesses and large regional and national distribution centers. This project s diverse benefits reflects its diverse funding partners, who, to date, include Sound Transit, the Washington State Legislature, Federal STP funds supporting design efforts, the Washington State Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board, the Port of Tacoma, and private development. In the spirit of WSDOT's Practical Design concept, the project will repurpose the existing, structurally sound bridge to accommodate two southbound lanes while eliminating the

2 structurally sound bridge to accommodate two southbound lanes while eliminating the bottleneck by adding two northbound lanes and shared-use path on a parallel forwardcompatible bridge structure, resulting in a four-lane roadway section. This project will reconfigure intersections at each end of the existing SR 410 overpass, providing access to the SR 410 ramps and connecting to SR 167 and SR 512. The project will connect to Puyallup s Riverwalk Trail, the Sumner Link Trail and Pierce County s Foothills Trail system. Non-motorized facilities, consisting of sidewalk improvements and a new 14-foot shared use path on the bridge structure, will be constructed to provide an ADA-compliant pathway along Traffic Avenue to the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station. The improved facility will support access to the expanding Sumner Sounder Station, further development and improved operation the Sumner-Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center, and more opportunities for regional commerce and family-wage jobs in the South Sound where housing is booming. 2. Project Justification, Need, or Purpose This project will eliminate the final bottleneck on a major corridor for vehicular traffic, freight, transit commuters, and bicycle routes. Tens of millions in transportation dollars were invested to widen roads and build trails on either side, but now, Traffic Avenue's outdated two-lane bridge over SR 410 and associated ramp terminal intersections causes substantial delays, backing up traffic over 1/2 mile in Sumner, Puyallup, from Edgewood and even from Bonney Lake onto the SR 410 ramps. Caught in the delays are 11,000 commuters headed to jobs in the Sumner-Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center, freight traffic on a designated truck route, local traffic accessing Sumner Town Center, East Pierce Fire's response to accidents on SR 410, SR 167, and SR 512 and commuters for Sound Transit trains and buses as well as the buses themselves. Presently, backups from this intersection not only impact flow on Sumner s and Puyallup s arterial streets, but queuing on the SR 410 off-ramps extend to the point of impacting mainline travel on westbound SR 410 as well as the SR 512/SR 167 interchange west of the project. This section of the transportation network presently serves a wide variety of key transportation needs. 1) FREIGHT MOBILITY & EMPLOYMENT: The project serves as one of three truck access points for the Sumner/Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center and the closest access point to the Port of Tacoma. It has a T-2 designation, carrying over 4 million tons of freight each year. In conjunction with other recently completed transportation projects immediately to the south, this project will see significant freight and commuter traffic increases with the development of Puyallup's future Shaw-Pioneer manufacturing area. 2) RESIDENTIAL/RECREATIONAL TRAFFIC: This interchange is a primary highway access point for residential communities in Sumner, Edgewood, and the Shaw Road area of Puyallup and Pierce County. In addition, during the Washington State Fair, WSDOT routes all traffic coming from King County through this interchange to access the fairgrounds. 3) TRANSIT ACCESS: This route is the primary highway access point for commuters and regional buses utilizing the Sumner Station Sounder rail and bus service, connecting nearby communities with Seattle and Tacoma. Resolution of these bottleneck issues has been identified within State Environmental Policy Checklist (SEPA) completed for the construction of additional parking facilities at Sound Transit's Sounder Train Station. 4) NON-VEHICULAR TRAVEL: Existing non-motorized facilities in the project area do not meet current ADA or City standards. The Traffic Avenue overpass contains a single five-foot (5') wide sidewalk. Pedestrians are forced from the sidewalk onto the narrow, paved shoulder of Traffic Avenue leading to approximately 280 feet of path prior to connecting to Sumner's pedestrian sidewalk network. 5) EMERGENCY SERVICES: This interchange is East Pierce Fire and Rescue s main route for responding to emergencies on the SR 410, SR 167 and SR 512 highways, all main commuter routes that routinely experience collisions. This interchange is also the main route for evacuation or services to/from the valley floor in the event of a major emergency such as a train derailment or lahar. 6) ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: Reductions in congestion due to this bottleneck will improve regional connectivity, and reduce commercial vehicle idling times with corresponding reductions in air quality due to emissions.

3 Plan Consistency 3 of Is the project specifically identified in a local comprehensive plan? Yes 2. If yes, please indicate the (1) plan name, (2) relevant section(s), and (3) page number where it can be found. Sumner Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan, Item A2 The Sumner Transportation Plan 2015, Item R11, Page 91 identifies, "The Plan Identifies a need for major widening of the Traffic Avenue/SR 410 interchange. The improvement would include additional lanes on the eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp, in conjunction with additional turn lanes at the ramp intersections. These improvements would serve traffic from Sumner as well as Pierce County and Puyallup." Specific references to the project within the Sumner Transportation Plan can be found on pages 86, 89, 91, 118, 128, 132, 133, and 134. Traffic Avenue is identified as an Existing Truck Route on both the Sumner and Puyallup Transportation Plans. 3. If no, please describe how the project is consistent with the applicable local comprehensive plan, including specific local policies and provisions the project supports. In addition, please describe how the project is consistent with a transit agency plan or state plan, if applicable. N/A Federal Functional Classification 1. Functional class name 14 Urban Principal Arterial Support for Centers 1. Describe the relationship of the project to the center(s) it is intended to support. For example, is it located within a designated regional, countywide or local center, or is it located along a corridor connecting to one of these areas? This project will support regional and local centers as a vital corridor link between the regional Sumner-Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center and a number of other manufacturing and residential centers. The project limits are within Sumner Town Center, a designated center of local importance. It also supports the development of centers throughout Pierce County by being the main connection for transit service, employment and emergency services. Criteria: Benefit to Regional Growth or Manufacturing/Industrial Center 1. Describe how this project will benefit or support the housing and employment development in a regional growth center(s) and/or employment growth in a manufacturing/industrial center(s). Does it support multiple centers? Please provide a citation of the relevant policies and/or specific project references in a subarea plan or in the comprehensive plan. This project supports the continued employment growth in the Sumner/ Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center. Currently, the MIC includes an estimated 11,000 employees. It can grow to 20,000, but potential employers first ask what s being done to relieve congestion. Being strategically located within 8 miles of the Port of Tacoma and 45 miles from the Port of Seattle and served by 2 railroads and freeway access with developable land, the Sumner-Pacific MIC has potential for future growth. The SR 410 Traffic Avenue Interchange project will serve the Sumner-Pacific MIC with improved access to the Port of Tacoma via SR 410 and other markets to the south via SR 512 and I-5. The improvements will also serve the City of Sumner s Town Center area which is a Center of Local Importance designated for housing growth around the Sumner Commuter Rail Station and historic downtown, expected to add dwelling units. This project also improves access to employment opportunities in Puyallup's future Shaw-Pioneer manufacturing area. This connection allows thousands of commuters to access jobs in the employment centers of Seattle and Tacoma. This project s importance was highlighted when it was directly identified in the 2015 Sumner Transportation Plan, Project ID R11-Traffic Ave/SR 410. In addition, the SEPA documents for the proposed Sound Transit parking garage in Sumner has identified this project as the most significant access barrier to the station. Sumner s long-planned parking garage does not get built if this interchange is not fixed or underway because it does no good to build a garage that no one can access. This station, and its planned expansion, is critical for serving the booming housing areas of Bonney Lake, Tehaleh, Orting, South Hill, Edgewood and unincorporated Pierce County. The region s growth will only be successful if residents can

Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element Policies: 5.13 Create new housing units in the town center in close proximity to the train station and existing businesses; 5.15 Encourage more mixed commercial/service/housing uses in the Town Center, along Traffic and Fryar Avenues. Reduce light industrial zoning in the Town Center in favor of mixed-use zoning; 5.16 Market to and attract new business compatible with long-range plan and zoning intents, and strengthen and increase the variety of commercial shopping and service opportunities for the community. Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element Policy: 2.1 Coordinate the development and implementation of the Sumner Transportation Plan with the State Highway Systems Plan Working with the State to fund and implement improvements such as improvements to Traffic Avenue and SR 410 interchange in Sumner. 2. Describe how the project provides or benefits a range of travel modes to users traveling to/from centers, or if it provides a missing mode. The project will improve pedestrian and bicycle access to the Town Center and to the Sounder Commuter Rail Station. Currently there are bike trails and sidewalks that are brought within ¼ mi. of the Sounder Station from the Foothills Trail, Sumner Link Trail, and sidewalks. However, the existing overpass has narrow sidewalks and lacks a sidewalk connection from north of the interchange to the station and neighborhoods. The project would substantially improve these conditions by providing a 14 wide shared use path, with plenty of room for two-way pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle transportation. The project will benefit a large number of users traveling by the following modes: Pedestrian where there is currently a 5 sidewalk on one side of the SR 410 overpass and no walkway between the overpass and the City s sidewalk network, the project will provide a 14 shared use path providing safe and comfortable connections. Bike there are currently no bicycle facilities on the bridge, so cyclists must share the narrow travel lanes with vehicles and tractor-trailers to cross the bridge. The project will provide a 14 shared use path which will provide a separated facility for bikes and will fill a gap in the regional trail network. Bus This interchange is a key component of Sound Transit s Bus Routes 578 connecting Puyallup and Sumner to Auburn, Federal Way and Seattle and 596, linking the consistently-full Bonney Lake Park & Ride with Sounder trains. This same route is used by Beyond the Borders, offering daily transit for seniors, disabled and low-income individuals to connect to jobs, medical appointments and the Pierce Transit system. These services will be benefitted by relieved congestion. Train Sound Transit s Sounder service is extremely popular, and the majority of Sounder riders come through the interchange to access the Sumner Station. The project will benefit train riders by reducing the delay and variability of travel time to and from the station. Automobile Motorized users gain two general purpose lanes, eliminating a bottleneck that has been leading five lanes of traffic to a two-lane bridge for over a decade. The interchange operates at a LOS F during PM peak commuting and residents and regional commuters alike are stuck in the traffic radiating in every direction. Commercial Vehicles This interchange provides a primary route to commercial traffic traveling from the Sumner/ Pacific Manufacturing Center to the Port of Tacoma and other South Puget Sound destinations. An indirect effect of this project will be to reduce commercial vehicle dependence on the section of SR 167 between 24th Street and the SR 512 interchange. That section of SR 167 is already over capacity and experiences significant delays throughout the day as trucks reroute to avoid this bottleneck. 3. Describe how the project will benefit a variety of user groups, including commuters, residents, and/or commercial users. The project will benefit a variety of user groups. Commuters will have substantially improved access to the Sumner Commuter Rail Station in all modes, especially automobiles. The improvements will reduce back-ups and delays at intersections because of improved efficiencies and flow. Residents, likewise, will benefit from these improvements, especially during the PM peak hour times. Currently, residents are caught in back-ups with commuters at that time. Finally, improved efficiencies will benefit commercial truck operations serving the Sumner-Pacific MIC and the downtown businesses, including car dealerships in the area. This project serves two distinct groups of commuters: 1) Those using Sound Transit to commute regionally - the Sound Transit SEPA process determined that this project is a condition of building a much needed parking garage to get more commuters off the highway and onto mass transit. Currently, approximately 1,000 riders access the station daily. Sound Transit estimates that to increase to 1,500 riders by ) Those accessing jobs in East Pierce County - These include over 11,000 jobs in Sumner s Manufacturing Industrial Center with diverse employers including GKN Aerospace (building Boeing winglets) to Costco distribution. These are key, family-wage jobs that are often available to individuals with less education than the high-tech communities north of Sumner. Another Pierce County Employment zone served by this project is the future Shaw-Pioneer Manufacturing Area, anticipated to add over 3 million square feet of manufacturing area in the near future. Residents: This project is the main access from regional highways to historic, downtown Sumner, typically home to older, lower-income households. This route also serves residents trying to access South Hill as well as Bonney Lake, Orting, Tehaleh, Edgewood and downtown Puyallup.

5 Puyallup. 5 of 13 Commercial small business: This project is the main access point for Sumner s historic downtown business district, comprised of small, independent businesses and services including dentists, doctors, lawyers, and pharmacy. Congestion backs into the downtown, tying up Main Street, as well as surrounding larger, regional businesses such as Sunset Chevrolet, McLendon Hardware and The Old Cannery Furniture Store. Commercial-Industrial: Project is a primary truck route for the Sumner-Pacific MIC, especially to access Port of Tacoma, already a funding partner for this project. Trucks may also use the 24th Street interchange to travel south on SR 167; however, that same stretch now experiences routine congestion through significant portions of the day. The project has already been awarded $2.5 Million in construction from the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board due to its importance to the freight community. Emergency Response: East Pierce Fire & Rescue s busy Station 13 is located two blocks from this project. The Sumner Police station is approximately half a mile away. This interchange is the route emergency vehicles use to respond to collisions/incidents on SR 410, SR 167 and SR Describe how the project will benefit minority and low-income populations as identified in the President s Order for Environmental Justice, seniors, people with disabilities, those located in highly impacted communities, and/or areas experiencing high levels of unemployment or chronic underemployment; please be specific and provide data where applicable. The project will benefit seniors, people with disabilities and areas located within close Pierce County that may be experiencing higher than normal levels of unemployment. The project improves access to a regional transit facility and employment center and thereby improving transportation and commute options for groups that may have difficulty accessing these jobs or other resources. Per the PSRC Project Selection Resource Map, the population immediately surrounding the project is 17% disabled, 14% below the poverty level, 17% elderly, and 21% minority. The area is categorized by a low opportunity index, which includes most of Sumner and extends west to Edgewood and Fife. Some areas to the west of the project are characterized by a very low opportunity index. Areas labeled as highly impacted communities are located nearby to the north and east of the project. In addition, according to the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), the immediately adjacent residential area on the Sumner side of this interchange has a Diversity Index of This interchange also serves neighborhoods to the north and east, which are and On the Puyallup side of this interchange, the immediately adjacent areas register an index of Given that the Diversity Index map shows that most of Eastern Pierce County ranges from 4 to 28, the areas directly served by this project are more diverse than is typical in this region. Benefits to Senior/Disabled: Sumner and Pierce County work together to provide Beyond the Borders, a free shuttle service for low-income, youth, seniors and disabled individuals. Fixed routes and even door-to-door service help get individuals to jobs, doctor s appointments and connect to the Pierce Transit system. The shuttle uses this overpass and two intersections to make that connection. Congestion can hinder the shuttle s ability to make connection to Pierce Transit, negatively impacting its ability to serve these vulnerable populations. Benefits to Minority/Low-Income/Senior: PSRC s Resource Map indicates that Sumner is considered a Low Opportunity community and Pierce County between Sumner and Puyallup is considered Very Low Opportunity. The Kirwan Institute report further analyzes that Sumner s Education Opportunity is high, Economic Health is moderate to low, Housing is moderate to low, Health & Environment is very high. Only transportation/mobility rates very low for all of Sumner and its surrounding environment. Relieving congestion that hinders the Beyond the Borders shuttle also benefits these populations. In addition, this project builds safe, easy access to 11,000 family-wage industrial jobs via vehicle, non-vehicular access and transit. The best way to benefit low-income and minority groups is to eliminate obstacles to good jobs that require hard work rather than high degrees. Of note, AWC s data shows that in 2013, Pierce County had an in-state migration of over 2,400 people, most of whom came from King County. King County lost over 6,000 people who moved within state in that same year. The numbers back up the regional acknowledgement that Pierce County is King County s affordable housing program, and the growth is primarily going to eastern Pierce County. Many of those residents seeking affordable housing travel through this interchange to access local jobs, regional jobs, and commercial services. 5. Describe how the project will support the establishment of new jobs/businesses or the retention of existing jobs/businesses including those in the industry clusters identified in the adopted regional economic strategy. The Sumner-Pacific MIC boasts 11,000 jobs and companies continue to move here and expand here due to the access to the ports, affordable housing, and their labor force. The MIC contains jobs 3,400 jobs in transportation, distribution and logistics, 640 in food and beverage processing, 540 in wood products, and over 300 in aerospace. The aerospace cluster alone includes 6 firms such as AIM Aerospace, Composite Solutions and GKN. The project will improve transportation access for these businesses both for commuters and would reduce freight and transportation costs. These benefits would also apply to Sumner s downtown businesses. As discussed on page 16 of Amazing Place: Growing Jobs and Opportunity in the Central

6 As discussed on page 16 of Amazing Place: Growing Jobs and Opportunity in the Central Puget Sound Region, the South Sound has a strong Transportation and Logistics sector and Building on these strengths and supporting these industries and businesses is a key component to any effort to develop the sub-economies of the region. Finding synergies between the industries and sub-regions will strengthen both the parts and the whole. The Sumner-Pacific MIC is built primarily on the Transportation and Logistic sector with distributions facilities for Costco, McDonald s, Amazon, and other major distributers. Primarily trucking-based, these businesses need sufficient transportation infrastructure facilities to operate effectively and draw future business to the region. Small cities are also identified as key to growth, with these areas offering proximity to recreation, natural resources, and workforce vital to surrounding urban centers. (Page 17, Amazing Place: Growing Jobs and Opportunity in the Central Puget Sound Region). The opportunities of small business growth, emerging industry development, and living wage jobs provided by centers like the Sumner-Pacific MIC and Sumner Town Center of Local Importance are a key strategy to achieving the regional goal of providing economic opportunities to everyone. With the region expanding at an increased rate, thousands of homes are being planned just south of Sumner. The new 4.5-story Sound Transit parking garage that relies on this project to be built is expected to be full on opening day. Our entire region has a vital need to remove the bottleneck of SR 410/Traffic Avenue interchange to improve transportation infrastructure and facilitate regional growth. From an employer prospective, companies ranging from GKN Aerospace to SEFNCO have already asked what s being done to keep freight and people moving efficiently through this region. They identify this bottleneck as one of the worst barriers to efficient routes and effective business models. The regional MIC designation process already identified that this area is one of the last remaining spaces to develop large manufacturing within the Puget Sound region. 6 of 13 Criteria: System Continuity/Long-Term Benefit and Sustainability 1. Describe how this project supports a long-term strategy to maximize the efficiency of the corridor, including TDM and activities and ITS improvements that use advanced technologies or innovative approaches to improve traffic flow. Describe the problem and how this project will remedy it. This project clearly improves the short- and long-term strategy for the corridor. By removing the bottleneck at a major interchange, this project eliminates the congestion that significantly hampers traffic through the area. The project will entirely replace both signals at the on-and off-ramps and provide modern signals with the most up-to-date technology. The signals will be compatible with the rest of WSDOT s ITS system and can be connected in the future as desired. The system will also be able to be tied to the other signals on Traffic Avenue if needed, leading to further signal efficiencies in the corridor. The project will utilize Transportation Demand Management (TDM) by leaving the existing, structurally sound facilities in place while the new overpass structure is constructed, minimizing further disruption to existing traffic patterns. Transportation System Management (TSM) can be incorporated into the project by detouring Sound Transit's Bus Service from Bonney Lake through the Valley Avenue/ SR 410 interchange during construction, thereby reducing traffic demand on the work zone during construction activities. 2. Describe how this project provides a logical segment that links to a regional growth or manufacturing/industrial center. There is no question that this project provides a logical segment. Surrounded by SR 167 and SR 410, the Traffic Avenue MIC access point is one of five highway interchange Sumner roadway access points. Given other constraints such as the Puyallup and White Rivers and designated truck routes, this project is one of three truck access points to the Sumner- Pacific MIC. The access point is the closest route for freight to and from the Port of Tacoma and commuters to and from Puyallup s Downtown or South Hill growth centers. Previous capacity improvements on Traffic Avenue and East Main have widened the roads serving this corridor to five (5) lane arterials. This project would complete the final and central segment of Transportation 2040 Project 500. Other significant regional projects include: The East Main Bridge over the Puyallup River immediately adjacent to the project, Shaw Road Widening Project (PSRC Transportation 2040 Project 494), The Shaw Road extension that provides a grade separation over BNSF rail tracks (PSRC Transportation 2040 Project 1222), The Bridge Street Bridge Replacement Project north of the project that will connect this area to southwest portion of the Sumner Pacific MIC (PSRC Transportation 2040 Project 499), Sound Transit's Sumner Station Improvements (PSRC Transportation 2040 Project 4083) The project is also a logical connection from the Sumner Link Trail, the Riverwalk Trail, and the Foothills Trail to the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station. 3. Describe how the project fills in a missing link or removes barriers to/from a center. This project would be the final component of the PSRC Project identified as Transportation

7 This project would be the final component of the PSRC Project identified as Transportation 7 of ID 500. This project widened E. Main/Traffic Avenue to accommodate five (5) travel lanes over the Puyallup River and five (5) travel lanes between Harrison and Main Street. This project would add additional travel lanes in between, linking these two sections to remove a barrier between SR 410 and the Sumner/ Pacific Manufacturing Industrial Center. Until this final segment is complete, all the previous investments will not recognize their full benefit to increasing regional mobility. The project also provides non-motorized facilities to fill a gap in the system and connects the Sumner Link Trail, Riverside Trail, and Foothills Trail to the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station. Presently, the Traffic Avenue overpass above SR 410 is a non-ada compliant sidewalk that frighteningly discharges onto a narrow roadway shoulder. This project would provide the missing link between the City's sidewalk system and the three trailheads. 4. Describe how this project will relieve pressure or remove a bottleneck on the regional transportation system and how this will positively impact overall system performance. This project is a picture-perfect example of a bottleneck on a regional transportation system. The two-lane bridge limits transportation into Sumner for residents, commuters, and commerce alike. Removing this bottleneck will free users from gridlock and improve the pedestrian facilities to provide more opportunities for all users to access Sumner and the Sumner-Pacific MIC. SR 167 commuters and train riders that utilize the Sounder station will be of particular benefit, as the new 4.5-story parking garage will be able to be built and accessed more easily, increasing the appeal of commuter train operations. The project will improve two intersections presently operating at Level of Service F. Backups from these intersections extend to Shaw Road in the South (approx. 0.6 mi); to Puyallup Street in the North (0.5 miles), across Bridge Street to the west, Main Street and Thompson Street to the east; and onto the SR 410 access ramps where queuing can extend onto westbound SR 410 and the SR 512/ SR 167 interchange to the west. By increasing access to and facilitating the expansion of the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station, the project will decrease the region's reliance on the highway system and reduce traffic on SR 167 which already is already over capacity. 5. Describe how this project addresses safety and security. The new parallel bridge will meet current roadway and bridge design standards, improving roadway and pedestrian safety alike. Bridge rails will be constructed to meet current safety standards, and concrete barriers and guardrail will have appropriate terminal end sections. The bridge structure itself will be designed to survive current earthquake design events, a great benefit to anyone in the area as Traffic Avenue is a volcano/lahar evacuation route. The existing bridge, which met current bridge standards at the time it was constructed, is on a timber pile foundation and was not designed to current earthquake standards. Regarding security, the shared-use path will be separated from vehicles by a concrete barrier, a substantial improvement to the existing condition. New fencing will protect people and the roadway below from anything falling from the existing or proposed structure. Intersections will be constructed to meet current ADA standards, increasing the safety of the intersection and standardizing the intersection to provide an up-to-date user experience. The signal phasing will provide improved control over vehicles and provide a safer experience than the existing permissive left turns. The project will greatly improve non-motorized safety by providing non-motorized facilities to replace the unsafe and narrow walkway on the existing overpass and the narrow shoulder of Traffic Avenue. In field visits with Sound Transit's staff, several refused to walk the corridor citing safety concerns. The project will improve East Pierce Fire and Rescue's ability to respond to emergencies in Sumner, Bonney Lake, East Puyallup, and in significant stretches of SR 410, SR 512, and SR Describe how the project provides opportunities for active transportation that can lead to public health benefits. Active transportation is a key benefit of this project. The project provides the final missing pedestrian link between Sumner and Puyallup across SR 410 and connects the Sumner Link Trail and Puyallup s Riverwalk trail to the Sound Transit station and Sumner Town Center. Without these improvements utilizing only paved walking surfaces, a 1/8th-mile walk from the west side of the bridge to the Sumner station turns into a ¾-mile walk, increasing walking travel time by 10 minutes or more. Adding this important connection also provides another regional link between Sumner Town Center and the Foothills Trail, and important recreational trail. The health benefits of walking, biking, or hiking for recreational purposes are significant, and the ability to transport commuters to the Sumner Station via a new trail connection will lower congestion and improve air quality due to a reduction of vehicles through the intersection.

The project will greatly reduce delays, but will not reduce the distance travelled. Both intersections in the project area are expected to experience shorter delays, so the project will result in shorter trips for all users, including Sound Transit bus service and freight truck traffic to manufacturing and industrial areas. The project will also remove nearly a ¼ mile of parallel parking, which will encourage users to seek alternative modes of transportation and reduce the vehicle miles traveled. 10. Please describe the source of the project data provided above (e.g., Environmental Impact Statement, EPA/DOE data, traffic study, survey, previous projects, etc.). The speed data (question 3) comes from the Transportation Technical Report for the Sumner Sounder Station Access Improvements Project, dated March The heavy vehicle data (question 8) and trip length data (question 9) come from the SR 410/Traffic Avenue Overpass Improvements Intersection Control Analysis, dated August Air Quality and Climate Change: Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities 1. Describe the facilities being added or improved Non-motorized improvements include a new 14 wide shared-use path, two reconstructed traffic islands at the SR 410 WB Ramps and Thompson Street, and reconstructed sidewalk and curb ramps along Traffic Avenue. 2. What is the length of the proposed facility? Approximately 750 feet 3. Describe the connections to existing bicycle/pedestrian facilities and transit. The new bicycle pedestrian facilities will connect to the Sumner Link Trail, Puyallup Riverwalk Trail, and Pierce County Foothills Trail on the south end of the project and to the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station and the City of Sumner s sidewalk system and Sumner Town Center on the north end of the project. 4. Describe the current bicycle/pedestrian usage in the project area. If known, provide information on the shift from single occupancy vehicles. Bicycle/pedestrian traffic is limited in the project area, with less than 100 bicyclists and pedestrians per day. Currently, some Sound Transit commuters park on the widened shoulder of E Main Avenue south of the project and walk to the Sounder Train Station. The existing path is not ADA accessible and is not separated from motorized vehicles. 5. What is the expected increase in bicycle/pedestrian usage from the project? If known, provide information on the shift from single occupancy vehicles Ridership at the Sound Transit Sounder Train Station is expected to increase from 1,000 daily riders to approximately 1,500 by Non-motorized travel is expected to double in proportion to the Sounder Station growth and may increase substantially as residential densities increase in the Sumner Town Center area. The presence of a bicycle facility crossing SR 410 is estimated to increase commuter bike

9 The presence of a bicycle facility crossing SR 410 is estimated to increase commuter bike travel to the Sounder Station by an additional 40 daily round trips during the week.

11 1. Documents Funding_Support_Data_ _Flat.pdf Please describe the secure or reasonably expected funds identified in the supporting documentation. For funds that are reasonably expected, an explanation of procedural steps with milestone dates for completion which will be taken to secure the funds for the project or program should also be included. The following is submitted in support of the Planning Phase funding sources listed: Local, $90,000 - The City of Sumner's executed budget worksheet showing funding authorized in 2017 for this project. As has been the case with past projects, the City anticipates authorizing funding to ensure that local participation matches required in federal and state funding awards are met or exceeded. Other State, $300,000 - Documentation from Washington State 2016 Supplemental Transportation Funding is provided in the form of an award letter showing project support and identifying the awarded funds. The following is submitted in support of the Preliminary Engineering Phase funding sources listed: Federal STP, $313,000 - The Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC) Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) recommended that PCRC direct $313,000 in available STP Contingency funds to the project at a meeting on April 5, A letter from the TCC chairman is provided, which is the most recent formal documentation available. The PCRC will be reviewing TCC's recommendation at their meeting on April 19, Local, $11,500 - Documentation from the Port of Tacoma is provided in the form of a letter showing project support and identifying the awarded funds. Local, $75,000 - Documentation from Schnitzer West is provided in the form of a letter showing project support and identifying the funds committed. Local, $1,564,000 Documentation from Sound Transit is provided in the form of an approved motion by Sound Transit to the City of Sumner committing $150,000 and $1,523,000 to the project design phase for a design phase total $1,673,000. Unused design funds can be rolled into construction funds, so the project shows $1,564,000 in PE and $3,436,000 in the construction phase (When added to construction phase, Sound Transit s contribution totals $5,000,000). Other State, $500,000 - Documentation from Washington State 2018 Supplemental Transportation Funding is provided in the form of an award letter showing project support and identifying the awarded funds. The following is submitted in support of the Construction Phase funding sources listed: FMSIB, $2,500,000 Documentation from FMSIB is provided in the form of an award letter showing project support and identifying the awarded funds. STP, $4,700,000 This request Local, $1,000,000 Documentation from Knutson development is provided in the form of a letter showing project support and identifying the funds committed. TIB, $1,945,046 Funds are unsecured. The project will be applying for funds during the 2018 funding cycle. Local $3,436,000 - Documentation from Sound Transit is provided in the form of an approved motion by Sound Transit to the City of Sumner committing a minimum $3,327,000 to the construction phase. Unused design funds can be rolled into construction funds, so the project shows $1,564,000 in PE and $3,436,000 in the construction phase (When added to the design phase, Sound Transit s contribution totals $5,000,000). If this project is selected by PSRC to receive the full funding request, the overall project will be nearly 90% funded. If TIB construction funds are not awarded (and there are multiple cycles of TIB awards before the STP funds are available), support from other partners such as the Washington State Legislature, the City of Puyallup, WSDOT, Pierce County, Sound Transit, and others would be potential funding partners. The City of Sumner will also weigh its ability to commit transportation funds to this important and regionally significant project. It is doubtful that this project will not be able to be successful in securing a final $2 million dollars from another source if TIB funds are not awarded. Regarding the developer funds, per the MDNS issued by Pierce County dated April 26, 2017, the funds will need to be paid to the City of Sumner prior to occupancy of the first building within the Knutson Farms Short Plat. It is expected that construction of this development will begin within the timeframe of the project, so funds should be available. If no funds are available at the time of construction, the City will have to find an additional funding source or provide construction funds until the development moves forward. Project Readiness: PE 1. Are you requesting funds for ONLY a planning study or preliminary engineering? No 2. Is preliminary engineering complete? No 11 of 13

12 3. What was the date of completion (month and year)? 04/ Have preliminary plans been submitted to WSDOT for approval? Yes 5. Are there any other PE/Design milestones associated with the project? Please identify and provide dates of completion. You may also use this space to explain any dates above. Design is 60% complete with WSDOT development services and local programs being involved in reviews and monthly meetings. Preliminary documents including an Intersection Control Analysis (ICA), a Transportation Technical Report (TTR), and a Basis of Design (BOD) with Plans For Approval (PFA) have been formally approved by WSDOT. The project has received a Design Approval (DA) from WSDOT as well, marking the completion of the preliminary design process. The only remaining approval is the Project Development Approval (PDA), which cannot be fully approved until construction funds are in place. We expect to have final design for WSDOT review by mid-summer 2018 (this year), years in advance of any PSRC construction funds becoming available. 6. When are preliminary plans expected to be complete? Project Readiness: NEPA 1. What is the current or anticipated level of environmental documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for this project? Documented Categorical Exclusion (DCE) 2. Has the NEPA documentation been approved? No 3. Please provide the date of NEPA approval, or the anticipated date of completion (month and year) Project Readiness: Right of Way 1. Will Right of Way be required for this project? No 2. How many parcels do you need? N/A 3. What is the zoning in the project area? N/A 4. Discuss the extent to which your schedule reflects the possibility of condemnation and the actions needed to pursue this. N/A 5.

13 4. Identify the environmental permits needed for the project and when they are scheduled to be acquired. NEPA Approval Are Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) approved? No 6. Please provide the date of approval, or the date when PS&E is scheduled to be submitted for approval (month and year) When is the project scheduled to go to ad (month and year)? Other Considerations 1. Describe any additional aspects of your project not requested in the evaluation criteria that could be relevant to the final project recommendation and decisionmaking process. N/A 2. Describe any innovative components included in your project: these could include design elements, cost saving measures, or other innovations. Practical design was implemented, and through that process it was determined that the existing bridge would continue to be used rather than demolished. The new bridge consists of 2 additional lanes instead of a 5-lane structure and will be constructed parallel to the existing bridge. The new bridge has been designed to be widened to a 5-lane structure when the existing bridge reaches the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced, resulting in one structure instead of two. These design considerations will reduce funds needed for current project construction and will allow for the project bridge to be widened to carry all traffic when the existing bridge needs to be replaced. 3. Describe the process that your agency uses to determine the benefits of projects; this could include formal cost-benefit analysis, practical design, or some other process by which the benefits of projects are determined. Practical design was implemented, and through that process it was determined that the existing bridge would continue to be used rather than demolished. The new bridge consists of 2 additional lanes instead of a 5-lane structure and will be constructed parallel to the existing bridge.

36 April 10, 2018 Milt Tremblay, Chair Pierce County Regional Council C/O Pierce County Planning and Public Works Cindy Anderson 2401 S 35th St Tacoma, WA Re: 2016 Funding Program Contingency List Dear Chair Tremblay, This letter is to forward a recommended allocation of 2016 funds to the Contingency List approved by the Pierce County Regional Council (PCRC) and Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) in This recommendation was formulated by the Transportation Coordinating Committee at its regular meeting on April 5, Action Item: Endorse or modify TCC s recommendations, which are as follow (scores in parentheses): $13,121 Pierce Transit Clean Fuels Bus Replacement/Expansion Purchase one bus (39) $1,785,000 University Place 56 th St/Cirque Corridor Improvements Phase 3 Construction (55) $313,444 Sumner Traffic Ave/E Main Bottleneck at SR 410 Design (54) $2,111,565 TOTAL Background Information: A total of $2,111,565 was returned for reallocation. Of this amount, $13,121 was in Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds and $2,098,444 was in Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds. A copy of the Funds Returned from Close-Outs table provided by the PSRC is attached. Most funds were returned because projects were completed below the budgeted amount, though the largest return, FIF-19, was returned because an alternative funding source paid for the project. Discussion began with review of the Pierce County Prioritized Contingency List; a copy of that document is attached. Only Pierce Transit stated any interest in the $13,121 of CMAQ funds. This low dollar amount was not likely to pay for the cost of federalizing any other project, let alone fully fund a project phase. Pierce Transit stated that they would use the available $13,121 to partially fund the purchase of one bus. Page 1 of 2

37 April 10, 2018 TCC Recommendations to PCRC Page 2 of 2 The University Place 56 th St/Cirque Corridor Improvements Phase 3 project completes construction and represents the final piece of the multi-phase corridor improvement project developed jointly by the Cities of University Place and Tacoma. The Sumner Traffic Ave/E Main Bottleneck at SR 410 project is in design, funded by Sumner and Sound Transit; funds would allow completion of design of a second two-lane bridge over SR 410 to match the total through lanes on either side of the interchange. Before funding decisions were made, other high on the STP list were reviewed. The sponsors of the following high-scoring projects stated that they were not in a position to accept STP funds (scores in parentheses): Tacoma Thea Foss Site 10 Esplanade (57) Bonney Lake Fennel Creek Trail Segment 2 (48) Tacoma Union Avenue Overlay (47) University Place 67 th Avenue Improvements Phase 2 right of way (44) Tacoma s Union Avenue Overlay was the only preservation project on the contingency list. Because preservation projects are funded from a set-aside, and because most of the returned STP funds were in preservation, several TCC members may have supported the funding of this project if Tacoma had been in a position to accept the funds. Pierce County staffers present emphasized that Pierce County was eager for funding of the Canyon Road East Freight Corridor Improvements. This project, which scored 45, competed well at the regional competition in 2016, and the project has been endorsed to move forward in the regional competition in County staff argued that partial funding of the right-of-way phase through the countywide contingency would improve the project s standing in the 2018 regional competition. While I cannot speak to the individual decisions of the TCC s voting members, it seemed that the project scores carried a lot of weight. The TCC vote was to fund projects scoring 55 and 54, each at least nine points higher than Pierce County s Canyon Road project. I will be pleased to discuss the contingency fund allocation process and recommendations, and the regional list of projects when I attend the Pierce County Regional Council meeting on April 19. Thank you, Russ Blount, PE Public Works Director. Pierce County Transportation Coordinating Committee Chair

KEY FEATURES SUMMARY The Sumner Station Agreement between the City of Sumner and Sound Transit covers Sound Transit s financial contributions to the City of Sumner as part of the Sumner Station Access Improvements project. The Agreement was authorized by the Board in January 2017 and included a contribution of up to $2.55 million for pedestrian and lighting improvements in the Sumner station area and a $5 million contribution for non-motorized improvements as part of the Traffic Avenue/SR 410 Project, a separate city-led project. The Agreement was executed February 4, To date, Sound Transit has contributed the $2.55 million for pedestrian and lighting improvements, and $150,000 for preliminary engineering and environmental analysis of the non-motorized improvements. The proposed action authorizes the additional $4,850,000 for final design and construction of the non-motorized improvements consistent with the Sumner Station Agreement. The City has completed the environmental review for the Traffic Avenue/SR 410 project, so final design and construction of the improvements can proceed. Per a detailed funding agreeement, the funding BACKGROUND was specified to be split $1,673,000 Design, The Sumner Station Improvements project will build bicycle, pedestrian, lighting, and parking access improvements at the Sounder Sumner Station. $3,327,000 Construction In November 2008, the voter-approved ST2 Plan included funding for access improvements to the Sumner Sounder Station. During the process of refining the projects included in the ST2 plan, the Sound Transit Board responded to community concerns by calling for a Sounder Access and Demand Study. The Study evaluated potential access improvements to eight existing Sounder stations including Sumner. The study provided a range of potential access improvement projects that Sound Transit could implement in full or in part, that would allow riders to use alternative modes of travel to the Sumner Station. The Sumner Station Improvement project completed environmental review in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) with approval of a NEPA Documented Categorical Exclusion on May 4, 2016, by the Federal Transit Administration and a SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued by Sound Transit on March 31, 2016.

41 On May 26, 2016, the Board selected the following Sumner Station Improvements to be built: A new parking garage at the current Sound Transit parking site with approximately 623 stalls and approximately 234 existing surface parking stalls among three areas. The total number of parking stalls at completion of the project would be 857. Sidewalk improvements in the station area. Lighting improvements in the station area. A contribution for non-motorized improvements to the Traffic Avenue/SR 410 Interchange project, a separate project led by the City of Sumner in partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation and Sound Transit. The City of Sumner issued a revised SEPA Checklist and Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) for the Traffic Avenue/SR 410 project on April 3, Sound Transit will rely on the City s MDNS for SEPA compliance in support of the contribution for non-motorized improvements consistent with the Sumner Station Agreement for final design and construction of the non-motorized improvements.
