This project is a planned partnership with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe who is contributing $606,600 (required match under TIB) to the grant for a total improvement cost of $3,033,000. The need for the project was first identified more than a decade ago, during the development of the City of Auburn's Comprehensive Transportation Plan, and was later modeled in subsequent studies of circulation patterns in Auburn. The Auburn Way South Corridor Widening project is approximately .14 miles in length and is located from Fir ST SE to Hemlock ST SE. This project will complete a 5 lane section of roadway. Upon completion there will be 2 through lanes in each direction and a center turn-lane with a U-turn/Wedge at Hemlock ST SE. Additionally, a new traffic signal will be constructed at the intersection of Hemlock ST SE and Auburn Way South/SR 164. This project will provide new sidewalks on Auburn Way South including ADA ramps at both intersections at Fir Street SE and Hemlock Street SE to increase pedestrian safety. The new signal will include a countdown pedestrian signal head and audible push buttons. Transit pullouts will be constructed at the Hemlock Street SE intersection to improve transit access. Wider curb lanes will also be constructed to provide enhanced shared bicycle routes. As part of the award, the City is required to add the project to the 2011-2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Washington State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) in order to be eligible to obligate the awarded funds. Pursuant to RCW 35.77.010 the legislative body of each city is required to prepare and adopt a comprehensive transportation program for the ensuing six years. The program may at any time be revised by a majority of the legislative body of a city, but only after conducting a public hearing. Please find attached a draft copy of the amended project summary sheet for the 2011-2016 Six Year TIP that shows this project added to the program.
