B.SR164 EAST AUBURN ACCESS PROJECT (Jeanie Acutanza – Acutanza STS, Consultant
for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe)
SR164 East Auburn Access Improvement Project (Originally SR18 Eastbound Offramp)
Connecting Washington statewide funding project designated $15 million to be used from
the 2017-2019 biennium for the SR164 East Auburn Access Project.
The funding requires that the project follow the WSDOT Practical Design Process which
focuses on the following:
•What are the issues
•What are the possible solutions/options
•How well do the options work to solve the problem
•What can be done to make the good options better
•Can everyone support the best option
•Recommend preferred alternative(s)
SR164 provides primary access to the growing areas of east Auburn, and the Muckleshoot
Indian Reservation, as well as Enumclaw and recreational areas to the southeast. The
purpose of the project is to develop an affordable, long-term solution that
•Reduces congestion
•Increases safety
•Accommodates growth
Open Houses were held on July 17th and 24th to obtain feedback from the public on the
purpose of the project. (These events were held at the Muckleshoot Elders Complex &
Auburn Community and Event Center)
Feedback from the Open Houses was reviewed with the Board as follows:
•Agreement on congested corridor
•Typical user drives and uses the corridor for work
•Non-recurring congestion (concerts and construction) is a big problem
•Desire for alternatives
•Better crosswalks
•Better lighting for pedestrians
•Improve bus shelters
•Add bike lanes or trail
•Signal timing

C. F STREET SE NON-MOTORIZED IMPROVEMENTS (Wickstrom)
Project Engineer, Seth Wickstrom, provided an overview of this project. The purpose of this
project is to improve the connection between the Les Gove Campus and downtown Auburn
with the completion of roadway and non-motorized improvements. These improvements are
summarized as follows:
F Street SE and 4th Street SE
• Mixed use path
• Rebuild the sidewalk
• Rebuild abutment
F Street 5th Street to 8th street SE
• Curb and gutter
• Landscape
• 6th & 8th Streets bulb out corners, raise intersections, slows traffic, better visibility for
pedestrians
• Flashing pedestrian light at 2 intersections (6th Street & 8th Street)
Other Improvements
• PSE underground utilities and new overhead lighting
• Add catch basin (entire corridor)
• Water and sewer improvements (4th Street & 5th Street)
• Bike improvements
• Sharrows (shared lane markings)
The anticipated schedule of the project, funding and total project cost was discussed with the
Board.
D. ROUNDABOUT DISCUSSION (Webb)
Senior Traffic Engineer, James Webb, provided information on the purpose and use of
roundabouts. The benefit of roundabout control is traffic operations and traffic safety and the
reduction in collisions of vehicles and all road users. At a traditional four-leg intersection, there
are 32 vehicle conflict points and 24 pedestrian conflict points. At a roundabout with four
approaches, this is reduced to 8 vehicle conflict points and 8 pedestrian conflict points.
Additional benefits of a roundabout were reviewed with the Board and include such items as
vehicle safety, collision types, pedestrian safety, and bicycle safety.
The design elements of a roundabout were reviewed with the Board.
Staff indicated that the City has two existing Roundabouts located at SE 304th Street & 124th
Avenue SE and 22nd Street NE & I Street NE.

Capital planning of the City has identified two locations for future roundabouts located at 132nd
Avenue SE & SE 304th Street and 116th Avenue SE & SE 320th Street.
Finally, the significant factors in determining the feasibility for a Roundabout were reviewed
with the Board.
E. 2016/2017 STATE OF OUR STREETS REPORT (Carter)
Street Systems Engineer, Jai Carter, provided an overview of the draft State of Our Streets
Report (SOS Report). This is an annual report that details the improvements that were made
to our Street System during the previous year. The report also discusses the Street
Preservation Programs in detail (Arterial and Local Preservation Programs). In years past, the
report only covered improvements in the Local Street Preservation Program (formerly known
as the Save Our Street Program). In 2015, the report was expanded to include the Arterial and
Collector Preservation Program, and cover all of the streets in the City of Auburn. The 2016
report was delayed and subsequently combined into the 2017 SOS Report.
The SOS Report also contains various mapping that shows projects from 2016/2017 and
future projects that are planned through 2021. Included in the report are the pavement
conditions and ride quality maps that cover the public road system. The maps are a simple
way to monitor the health of the street system and help program managers with street
selection for packaging streets into projects.
The specific elements within the report were reviewed with the Board.
Accomplishments that were noted from the 2016/2017 report included; exceeding the City’s
goal of an average of 70 Pavement Condition Index on the local road system and the
reconstruction of 9.48 lane miles of pavement and overlaying 15.36 lane miles of pavement in
2017.
Future program needs identified in the report include preserving the current local street
program funding level and increasing arterial preservation program resources as budgets will
allow.
V. ADJOURNMENT –
There being no further business to come before the Transportation Advisory Board, the meeting was
adjourned at 7:02 PM.
Approved this 11th day of December 2018.

FROM: Public Works - Transportation
RE: 2019 Transportation Grant Summary
DATE: December 6, 2018
Every year the City has the opportunity to apply for grant funding for transportation project.
During 2018, the City applied for funding for several projects across the three funding programs
which were available during 2018.
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Regional Funds
FHWA regional funding is administered by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) our local
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). This grant competition occurs every two years, and
provides funding for a two year period. Funding awarded from the 2018 competition is available
to be spent during the 2021/2022 biennium.
The City is able to compete in three separate completions; the regional competition which
covers projects located in King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties; the King County
countywide completion; and the Pierce County countywide competition. Within each
competition, there are two separate pots of money which are available, the Surface
Transportation Program Block Grant Program (STP) and the Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). The scoring criteria for these pots of money are slightly
different, so staff determine which projects to apply for in each competition based on a
preliminary evaluation of the scoring criteria so that the most competitive projects are presented
for consideration. The 2018 applications to this program are summarized below.

Washington State Department Of Transportation (WSDOT)
WSDOT administers several grant programs including Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety, Safe Routes to
Schools, and the City Safety Program. These programs occur every two years. The safe routes to school
program is intended to improve safety and mobility for children by enabling and encouraging them to
walk and bicycle to school. Funding from this program is for projects within two-miles of primary, middle
and high schools (K-12). The Pedestrian and Bicycle Program objective is to improve the transportation
system to enhance safety and mobility for people who choose to walk or bike, and the purpose of the
City safety program is to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on city streets using engineering
improvements/countermeasures. The City applied for funding from each of the three programs as
summarized below.

Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
The TIB funds high priority transportation projects in communities throughout the state to enhance the
movement of people, goods and services. TIB is an independent state agency, created by the Legislature,
that distributes and manages street construction and maintenance grants to 320 cities and urban
counties throughout Washington State. Funding for TIB's grant programs comes from revenue
generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax.
The City is able to apply for funds in a number of different TIB funding categories including the Urban
Arterial Program and the Urban Sidewalk Program.
The TIB funds projects annually. For the 2018 program the City submitted two applications for funding:

Washington Department of Commerce Energy Efficiently Grant
The City of Auburn has teamed up Washington State Department of Enterprise services and McKinstry
Energy consultants to apply for a Washington State Department of Commerce Energy Efficiency Grant.
The grant application is current being prepared and is required to be submitted by December 31, 2018.
The overall project will convert the over 2,700 lights with a cost $2 -2.5 million. The City is providing
$500,000 in local matching funds, and up to $350,000 is available in energy rebates to convert the City
of Auburn City owned streetlights to LED and install streetlight controls.
New LED light fixtures can save as much as 60 percent in power usage, provide higher quality lighting,
and have a lifespan of between 10 and 20 years. Currently the City is replacing existing lamps when they
fail every 2-5 years. The longer life fixture will ultimately save ongoing maintenance costs for both
equipment and labor. The payback on this project is estimated at 5-10 years with energy savings
continuing into the future.

Memorandum
TO: Transportation Advisory Board
FROM: Public Works - Transportation
RE: 2019 Transportation Impact Fee Update
DATE: November 26, 2018
The Public Works Department recommended an update to the Transportation Impact Fee
program, to be consistent with the projects funding needs identified in the adopted 2019-2024
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The proposed update was adopted by City Council
through Resolution 5388 at the November 19, 2018 City Council Meeting and will go into effect
on January 1, 2019.
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to present staff’s recommendation for the update to the
Transportation Impact Fee program. The most recent update to the City’s transportation impact
fee occurred on January 1, 2018, and was based on the previous 2018-2023 TIP.
Transportation impact fees are updated annually to stay current with the need to fund road
capacity projects identified in the recently adopted 2019-2024 TIP. The update accounts for
changes to the project list, updated funding needs, and the portion of each projects cost which
is attributable to new development. The update also accounts for revised growth forecasts
developed as part of the 2015 Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update, and includes
updated trip generation information published in the 10th Edition of the Trip Generation Manual
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). These changes will ensure that the
collection of impact fees is consistent with the capacity projects identified in the current TIP.
Impact Fee Project List Changes
Not all of the projects included in the TIP are included in the impact fee program. Only projects
which increase vehicular capacity at intersections and along roadway segments are eligible to
be included in the impact fee program. A list of the projects included in the impact fee
calculations is included as an attachment to this memo.
The majority of the projects included in the impact fee program are carried over from the
previous year, but have been revised as appropriate to reflect current funding needs. Three
projects have been removed from the list because they have been completed, combined with
other projects, or they have moved beyond year six in the current TIP. Five new projects have
been added based on changes to anticipated funding for the project or new capacity needs.
Impact Fee Project Cost Changes
12
Table 1 summarizes the total cost for the capacity projects which are included in the traffic
impact fee program and the portion of this total cost which the traffic impact fee actually funds
(unfunded growth costs). The table also provides a comparison of the cost basis for the
previous (2016 and 2017), current (2018), and proposed updates (2019).
Table 1. Impact Fee Project Cost Comparison
Year Total Eligible Cost Unfunded Growth Cost
2016 $104,425,000 $61,985,000
2017 $103,622,000 $65,083,309
2018 $107,666,000 $67,123,000
2019 $98,098,000 $61,569,141
As shown in the table, the total cost for the capacity projects has decreased by approximately
$10M from 2018. Consistent with that, the unfunded impact fee portion of the costs has also
decreased, by approximately $6M. The level of service analysis used to determine the existing
deficiency potion and future growth portion of each project was updated based on the most
recent (2018) count data collected by the City.
Citywide Growth Trips
The proposed 2019 update is based on the number of growth trips forecast in the 2015
Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The plan anticipated 16,100 additional trips would be
generated by new land uses developed within the City between 2012 and 2035. This total
number was reduced by the number of growth trips which are estimated to have already
occurred since 2012. Currently, approximately 13,500 additional growth trips are anticipated
between 2019 and 2035.
Trip Rate Changes
The City uses the information published in the Trip Generation Trip Generation Handbook to
determine the traffic impact fee rates for the individual land-use categories included in the fee
schedule. The ITE recently published the 10th Edition of the Handbook which included updated
trip rate information and included some new land use categories. These changes have been
incorporated into the traffic impact fee program as part of this update. The changes to the trip
generation rates have reduced the traffic impact fees for certain land-uses included in the fee
schedule.
Proposed Citywide Transportation Impact Fees
The current cost per new PM Peak hour trip in the transportation impact fee rate schedule is
$3,889.62. The changes identified above increase the impact fee per weekday PM peak hour
trip by $348.68 to a total of $4,238.30. The increase, approximately 9 percent, is attributable to
the current amount of funding being sought through the impact fee program. This fee is
applicable to all new uses citywide except in Lakeland Hills and the Downtown Urban Center
(DUC) zone as described below.
Downtown Urban Center Zone Rate
In an effort to acknowledge the trip generation characteristics of the downtown urban center, the
City added a second zone to the transportation impact fee program. The program charges
reduced impact fees for development occurring in the downtown urban center. The applicable
downtown area in which fees are reduced is shown in Figure 1.
13
Reduced impact fees for the downtown urban center account for anticipated reduced trip
generation resulting from the availability of transit service (both bus and rail), the completeness
of non-motorized facilities, and the close proximity of complementary land-uses (retail,
commercial, medical, etc.). This provides a better nexus between transportation impact fees and
the impacts of development in the downtown urban center.
The following reductions are used for each land use category in the downtown urban center:
Residential, Lodging, and Medical -19%
Recreation, Institutional, Retail, and Service -26%
Office -32%
Citywide and separate Downtown Transportation Impact fee rates are shown in Table 2.
National and local data was used to estimate the reductions for downtown land-uses in Auburn.
This approach is consistent with other local jurisdictions, including the City’s of Federal Way and
Kent.
Lakeland Hills Rate
Transportation mitigation fees for Lakeland Hills were established in 1998 by Resolution 2955.
At that time the initial impact fees were identified for detached single-family units, attached
single-family and multi-family units, senior family residential units, and commercial and retail
space. The fees are updated annually based on the Consumer Price Index for the Seattle-
Metropolitan area. The most recent annual data shows that during the previous 12 month
period, prices have increased by 3.0 percent.
TIF Comparison by Agency
Included in the agenda packet is a comparison of the basic transportation impact fee for 60
Western Washington Cities and 5 Counties. The comparison shows that Auburns current fee is
about average. Even with the increase proposed for next year, our fee would remain similar to
Federal Way, and lower than Puyallup, Covington, Kent, Bonney Lake, and Maple Valley.

Notes:
A. Basic trip rates are based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition.
B. Impact fee rate calculation is based upon the following methodology:
– Basic Trip Rate = PM Peak Hour Trip Generation (per unit of measure)
– Basic Trip Rate x Percent of New Trips x Trip Length Adjustment x Per Trip Fee/(divide
by) 1,000 for rate per square foot (where applicable) = Impact Fee Rate (per unit of measure)
C. For land uses not specifically identified here, trip generation rates could be derived from ITE
or a special study by the applicant.
D. sf/GFA= Square feet Gross Floor Area; sf/GLA= Square Feet Gross Leasable Area;
VFP=Vehicle Fueling Position.
E. Projects eligible for the Downtown Fee Rate are those located entirely within the boundary
identified on Figure 1.
