Background for Motion: Background Summary: The City is preparing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP)that builds upon the City's Local Road Safety Plan to utilize crash data, public input, and other information to identify and analyze factors that could increase the likelihood of serious injury or fatal crashes. The CSAP provides a menu of countermeasure options that could help mitigate or reduce those risks and packages some of those countermeasures into projects or programs. The CSAP will become a part of the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan and is currently a prerequisite for Safe Streets for All Grants and is anticipated to be a perquisite for future Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and other grant programs. The 2024 CSAP will be presented and discussed. A Resolution to adopt the CSAP and to establish a goal and vision to significantly reduce and eventually eliminate serious injury and fatality crashes will be discussed.

Auburn's commitment to safety is exemplified by the adoption of a safe system policy in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan to: "Significantly reduce or eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries through a safe systems approach." The Safe System approach includes a robust arsenal of potential policies and actions that can be taken by government agencies, as well as other entities, including the private sector, non- governmental organizations, community groups, and individuals.This Comprehensive Safety Action Plan ("CSAP") serves as the City's blueprint to meaningfully advance this goal through prioritized investments in infrastructure, education, emergency services, enforcement, and culture change. Who Lives in Auburn? Auburn is a diverse City.As of 2022 US Census Data,Auburn's population is 44% White, 22% Hispanic,12% Black,11%Asian,3% Islander, and 2% Native.The median age in Auburn is 34.4 years old,with an even split of Auburn's population being 49.4% male and 50.6%female. What's Happening on our Streets? Police reports record the circumstances associated with people killed or seriously injured (KSI) while traveling on our roadways. From the most recent five years of available data (2018 to 2022), on average there were 34 KSI crashes with 7 people killed and 32 people seriously injured each year'. What are the top crash types? - Almost 18% of KSIs were related to distracted driving. - About 15%of KSIs were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. - About 24% of KSIs involved a fixed object. - About 19% of KSIs were related to not granting right of way to other vehicles or non- motorists. - About 19% of KSIs involved a turning movement. ' Source:Washington DOT Crash Data,2018-2022,Average crashes over five years Page 28 of 253 - Almost 18% of KSIs were related to high speeds. Where do they occur? - Nearly 88% of KSI crashes occurred on a Principal or Minor Arterial Roadway. - Nearly 78% of KSI crashes occurred on a roadway with a speed limit of 35 mph or higher. - More than half(59%) of KSI crashes have occurred on just 6% of streets. Our Approach What did we hear? Conversations with City stakeholders and the community provided critical input into the development of this CSAP,the feedback we heard is: - Challenges faced in Auburn: o Sidewalk gaps o Gaps in bicycling infrastructure o Limited access to transit - Greatest transportation safety concerns: o Speeding o Distracted driving,walking, or bicycling o Drivers disregarding traffic signals and signs How were projects prioritized? To guide future investments,the City developed a prioritization framework that is both responsive to I ' historic crash locations and proactive in identifying m - _ areas where crash likelihood may be higher due to .. .. ;( the combination of land use and roadway Auburn k !_ ;-4'— :}_ characteristics present.The steps taken for this �4 assessment included: �� 11_ - ;� �; - 1 , 1.

Oversight &Accountability Forming an advisory committee made up of stakeholders to help maintain sustained focus and success in implementing projects and actions identified in the CSAP. Communication Communicate regularly with stakeholders and community members to build trust and support for the City's safety goals. Funding Stay up to date on relevant grant opportunities and proactively pursue grant funding for the most competitive projects as match funding is available. Identify Target Metrics& Measure Performance Set targets to measure safety outcomes and investments,track, and report performance. Phasing &Sequencing Commit to ongoing, long-term investment from the City,with different areas of focus over different time horizons. Update the Plan Regularly Update the action plan every other year to assess whether new direction is needed as conditions within the City and region change.

Safe System Approach FHWA, WSDOT, and the City of Auburn share the goal to systematically reduce fatal and serious injury crash potential through the Safe System Approach,which considers safety for all road users in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of transportation facilities.The Safe System Approach encompasses more than just government actions, and applies the following principals: Page 32 of 253 • Eliminate deaths and serious injuries: SNISER,OUSVWURVISUN4C Ep While no crashes are desirable, 00 c p 4e<F eliminating crashes that result in - - ti fatalities and serious injuries is a priority. °�P T•_ °�9 • Support safe road use: Road users y� otolllr � �3 0 Safe Road Safe �t, inevitably make mistakes that lead to 4¢ Users Vehicles to crashes, and the transportation system o x W m and vehicles can be designed and 7HE SAFE SYSTEM in operated to reduce injury outcomes from - APPROACH those errors.A forgiving system a N Post-Crash Safe - accommodates reasonable and yT� Care Speeds �aa predictable human limitations and A� /®\ �s behavior (such as ence, on, and attention).

In this way, redundancy is provided for the elements that make up the Safe System. • Safety is proactive: Proactive (systemic safety) approaches address context, contributing factors, and crash types to help reduce the potential or likelihood for fatal and serious injury crashes. Auburn Today As of 2024,Auburn is home to 88,950 people. It is primarily located in southern King County, although a portion of the City extends into northern Pierce County.Auburn is connected to the region by three state routes (SR 167, SR 18 and SR 164) and Auburn Station, located in Downtown Auburn,which provides local and regional transit service including connections to Seattle and Tacoma. Auburn is considered a suburb of Seattle and Tacoma and is the 14th most populous community in Washington.2 Auburn has a walkable downtown that has historically served 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn,_Washington FEHO' PEERS Page 33 of 253 several unique, primarily single-family neighborhoods. In recent years, mixed use development projects have added several multi-family residential and commercial buildings to downtown. Unique aspects of the City include the Green and White Rivers,which provide aesthetic and recreational amenities;the industrial West Valley that provides employment opportunities; and the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation,which is located south and southeast of Downtown, including the Muckleshoot Casino Resort and White River Amphitheater. Auburn residents are served by 28 public, private, and charter schools.Auburn is also home to Green River College. Demographics Auburn is a diverse City.As of 2022 US Census Data,Auburn's population is 44% White, 22% Hispanic,12% Black,11%Asian,3% Islander, and 2% Native.The median age in Auburn is 34.4 years old,with an even split of Auburn's population being 49.4% male and 50.6%female. Equity considerations are an important component of analyzing and improving roadway safety through the Safe System Approach. Low-income communities and communities of color have experienced disinvestment and neglect in transportation throughout the history of the country and are disproportionately impacted by transportation safety issues.The CSAP seeks to begin redressing these systemic inequities. In addition,the USDOT Equitable Transportation Community Explorer Tool3 utilizes 2020 census data to explore the burden communities experience because of underinvestment in transportation. It measures the burden these communities experience in the following ways: • Transportation Insecurity occurs when people do not have access to regular, reliable, and safer transportation options. Nationally,there are well-established policies and programs that aim to address food insecurity and housing insecurity, but not transportation insecurity. • Climate and Disaster Risk Burden reflects changes in precipitation, extreme weather, and heat which pose risks to the transportation system, as do natural disasters such as flooding and volcanic eruptions.These hazards may affect system performance, safety, and reliability.As a result, people may have trouble getting to their homes,schools, stores, and medical appointments. • Environmental Burden includes variables measuring factors such as pollution, hazardous facility exposure,water pollution and the built environment.These environmental burdens can have far-reaching consequences such as health disparities, negative educational outcomes, and economic hardship. • Health Vulnerability assesses the increased frequency of health conditions that may result from exposure to air, noise, and water pollution, as well as lifestyle factors such as poor walkability, car dependency, and long commute times. 3 https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/0920984aa80a4362b8778d779b090723/page/ETC-Explorer-- -National-Results/ Page 34 of 253 • Social Vulnerability is a measure of socioeconomic indicators that have a direct impact on quality of life.This set of indicators measure lack of employment, educational attainment, poverty, housing tenure, access to broadband, and housing cost burden as well as identifying household characteristics such as age, disability status and English proficiency. 35%of Auburn residents (approximately 30,000 people) live in these disadvantaged Census Tracts.These census tracts are shown in Figure 1.

' —I City Boundary Park Disadvantaged Communities Page 36 of 253 Build on Prior Safety Investments In recent years,Auburn's efforts to improve safety have been visible through a range of plans and infrastructure projects.This CSAP builds upon those prior efforts taken to both tackle safety explicitly and enhance safety through mode shift goals. Plans Local Road Safety Plan 2024 Auburn's Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is a data-driven plan that uses crash trends and contributing risk factors to identify city street segments and intersections with characteristics that may lead to a higher risk of crashes.These street segments and intersections are then narrowed down to a discrete list of projects that the City can prioritize, which is key for implementing successful crash reduction strategies.This program follows the methods prescribed in Target Zero: Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan, the statewide safety plan and identifies low-cost,systemic, near-term projects to improve roadway safety,which could be funded by WSDOT's City Safety Program. In this plan,the City identified a Project List that includes the following projects: 1. Corridor project: I Street NE (45th Street NE to 37th Street NE) 2. Corridor project:37th St NE (I Street NE to I Street NW) 3. Intersection projects: Lakeland Hills Way and Oravetz Road Mills Pond Drive and Lakeland Hills Way 4. Intersection project:21st Street SE and M Street SE 5. Intersection project: Lakeland Hills Way and 69th Street SE 6. Corridor project: SE 312th Street (SE 312th Way to 125th Avenue SE) 7. Citywide project: Streetlighting Improvements along 15th Street NE (Auburn Way N to W Valley Hwy N), Lake Tapps Parkway (Sumner Tapps to City Limits), Sumner Tapps Parkway (Lake Tapps Parkway to City Limits), Oravetz Road (Joyce Ct SE to Kersey Way) Comprehensive Plan Update 2024 Auburn's Comprehensive Plan is the leading policy document that guides the City's evolution and growth over a 20-year period.The Comprehensive Plan identifies the desired type, configuration, and intensity of land uses throughout the City, as well as the character and capacity of public facilities and services like streets and utilities. Its policies address critical topics such as housing,the environment,transportation, public safety, and economic development.The Comprehensive Plan also serves as the basis for the City's adoption of special purpose plans for the City such as transportation or utilities plans and serves as the FEHR ' PEERS Page 37 of 253 basis for development standards and regulations such as City zoning and critical area regulations. Transportation Element and System Plan The 2024 Comprehensive Plan includes several elements, one of which is the Transportation Element.The Transportation Element is a summary document that provides an overview of the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan or CTP.The CTP is also referred to as the Transportation System Plan and was updated in 2024 with the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update. The CTP establishes Auburn's Safety Goal to significantly reduce or eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries through a Safe System Approach.This goal is supported by the below policies,which are also included in the CTP: • TR3-1-1.The City shall apply the Safe System Approach for pursuing its transportation safety goal through the different elements associated with the safety of the City's transportation system which the City has the ability to influence including: roadways, roadway users,speeds,vehicles, and post-crash care. • TR3-1-2.The City will study, plan, and implement safety improvements prioritized based on the occurrence of fatal and serious injury crashes and/or the presence of systemic characteristics indicative of serious or fatal crash likelihood. • TR3-1-3.The City will seek internal and external funding to both implement safety strategies and on-going maintenance improvements. The goal and policies are supported by the below actions: • Implement, maintain, and regularly update the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) and Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP). • Document the actions taken to improve transportation safety and corresponding performance metrics identified in the LRSP and CSAP. • Establish a program and funding in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for safety data collection, study, planning, and implementation of safety improvements. • Identify, evaluate, and pursue grant funding and other outside funding sources for safety programs and improvements. Auburn Transportation Improvement Program The TIP is a 6-year plan for transportation improvements that supports the City of Auburn's current and future growth.The TIP and the CTP serve as source documents for the City of Auburn Capital Facilities Plan which is a Comprehensive Plan element required by Washington's Growth Management Act.The program may be revised at any time by a majority of the City Council following a public hearing. Page 38 of 253 Some key TIP projects and programs currently in the 2025-2030 TIP include the following4: • Roadway Projects: • Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program • East Valley Highway Widening • R Street SE Widening from 22nd Street SE to 33rd Street SE • M Street NE Widening from Main Street to 4th Street NE • Auburn Way South Improvements from Hemlock Street SE to Poplar Street SE • Non-motorized and Transit Projects: • Active transportation -safety,ADA, and repair program • Active transportation - mode shift program • Downtown Bike to Transit • Regional Growth Center Pedestrian Improvements • Intersection, Signal, and ITS Projects: • Downtown Infrastructure Improvement Project • R Street SE/21st Street SE Roundabout • Lea Hill Road/104th Avenue SE Roundabout • SE 304th Street/116th Avenue SE Roundabout Projects Capital transportation infrastructure projects related to Safety that were completed from 2014-2024 are illustrated in Figure 2. 60 projects are shown in the map,with additional projects are shown in the City's online web mapping applications. 4 httos://auburn.maos.arcais.com/apes/dashboards/0886cfc13e0748de94f8a7964c936aa6 5 httos://auburn.maos.arcais.com/a oos/Ma oSeries/i ndex.htm I?a ooid=a91c06ef9e72436a b3e31c602f2e34 de FEHRkPEERS Page 39 of 253 Figure 2: Completed Capital Projects PT I B St NW Reconstruction ID d _ / Protect ii• MD 4 !rat: 1 ,, ,, i , ,� • 1,8101 /AS . • „ Air Ft, . ii-- C ri LJ J -' - -- . , /101 .7__ IIII nu?nr im i , „Alp 4 Its ■ - ' - and 1St NE`Intersection- r I _T 1 A 1j ' r Improvements 1 f �� • �_ � 4rteal Pedestrian Auburn Way North = 1 i III r i and/Bike NI Preservation t_ _ 1,6 Safety Protect -phase 2 CI11 1'°u��+N 7I-2 F i', m• M .1 2022 Sidewalk 2023 CDBG Jr 1 � _Lii andvDA 'i/Sidewalk. 111 - - Improvements Im provement III X� -----I • `1 ifI drill{1' r iirk. • 1 Auburn �l ' y, 2nd ` , f ,I ` Street SE Presevvation �� '�_ N., 1 ffg j� Protestilkk i _ .,i I IIl a I•Q„ 1 IVI, /_ r I-- mr .

It is possible that some locations or issues were not addressed in this report, and nothing should be inferred by their omission. FEHR ' PEERS 4o Page 41 of 253 Chapter 2 : Engage Conversations with Auburn staff, stakeholders, and the community provided essential input to the development of the CSAP, including the following: • Safety Specific On-line Survey Questions and Interactive Map • Online Engagement for the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) • Comments Received through See-Click-Fix • Presentations and discussion with the Auburn's Transportation Advisory Board • Presentations and discussion with the Auburn City Council Online Engagement In total,351 public comments related to safety concerns were received through the following engagement tools over the last five years (2019 to 2024). Figure 3 illustrates the locations of the concerns received during this time frame. Safety Specific Survey Questions and Interactive Map Auburn distributed an online survey to gather the community's input on transportation safety. Survey questions and a map were given to residents to provide feedback on both general challenges and specific locations. Both the map and survey were available online from February 23, 2024,to June 6, 2024.Appendix A includes the summary of the responses. Overall,33 responses were received. Respondents shared their priorities for roadway safety, including: - Challenges faced in Auburn: o Lack of Sidewalks o Lack of bicycling infrastructure o Limited access to transit - Greatest transportation safety concerns: o Speeding o Distracted driving,walking, or bicycling o Drivers disregarding traffic signals and signs. Comprehensive Transportation Plan As part of the CTP,Auburn conducted an online survey to gather the community's input on proposed bicycle facilities, sidewalk gaps, and the proposed bicycle network.The survey was promoted through specific in-person outreach efforts to reach target demographics, posters, and flyers. Overall,18 responses were received which identified the following priorities: 11 Page 42 of 253 • Sidewalks desired on: o K Street NE O 32nd Street SE O 33rd Street SE o M Street SE o SE 316th Street o Lea Hill Road • Multiuse path desired next to Kersey Way SE • Protected bike lanes • Continuous sidewalks and bicycle network Citywide Public Request Tool (See-Click-Fix) Auburn's public request tool for collecting community feedback (See-Click-Fix) was analyzed to extract data from 2019-2024 to understand traffic and safety issues in the community to supplement the data collection from the online engagement tool.Auburn received 300 safety-related concerns during this period.Appendix A includes a summary. Community members' input related to transportation safety touched on the following themes: • Adding or upgrading stop control measures • Adding pedestrian crossings • Addressing unsafe driver behavior including speeding and careless driving • Increasing bicycle infrastructure • Increasing pedestrian infrastructure Transportation Advisory Board and City Council Presentations Updates during the CSAP development were provided to the TAB and City Council in May 2024, and July 2024.These meetings provided an opportunity for appointed and elected officials to learn about and discuss the current state of transportation safety in Auburn and provided input on the policies and plan goals to accomplish the City's goals.

Crash records on roadways in Auburn from 2018 to 2022 are the primary resource for the CSAP.The data-driven process and the following section describes this process in the CSAP: • Examination of Crash Trends: Review of crash statistics to evaluate when,where, and why crashes occur and who is involved. • Development of Safety Emphasis Corridors: Identification of roadways where most KSIs are concentrated for targeted intervention. • Development of Factors Influencing Crash Likelihood: Identification of factors related to the most prevalent crash types and contexts. Key Crash Trends To better understand road safety performance in Auburn, crash data was analyzed from 2018-2022 (the most recent five years of data) on all City streets, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Over that period, on average each year,there were 34 KSI crashes with 7 people killed and 32 people sustained serious injuries while traveling on roadways in the City 6. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may also be present in the most recent years of crash data in 2020 and 2021,when the City experienced reduced travel overall and the related benefit of fewer crashes. 6 Source:Washington DOT Crash Data,2018-2022,Average crashes over five years FEHRk PEERS Page 45 of 253 Figure 4: Crashes by Mode, by Year 1400 50 1200 45 40 c m 1000 35 �; v ,,, V) a) 800 30ml iii il > u t 25 m u • 600hil 20 c o 400 15 .� 2 10 200 5 v a 0 0 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Year Vehicle —Bicycle —Pedestrian — Motorcycle Figure 5: Fatalities and Serious Injury Crashes by Mode by Year 50 c 45 ca .Z. a) 40 �. 35 O 30 co v 25 U v; LE20 a) a) > 15 'm 10 c 5 co 0 a) 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 a) a Year ME Vehicle —Bicycle —Pedestrian —Motorcycle —Total KSIs 15 Page 46 of 253 Several patterns appear in Auburn's crash history over the five-year period from 2018-2022, indicating trends in the movements, modes, locations, and time periods associated with KSIs on Auburn's roadways.Table 1 indicates some key trends emerging. Table 1 Key Crash Trends Key Trends Key Data Vehicles were involved in 95%of crashes and 58%of KSIs. Pedestrians were involved in 3%of crashes and 23%of KSIs. Mode-Based Trends Bicyclists were involved in 1%of crashes and 5%of KSIs. Motorcyclists were involved in 2%of crashes and 15% KSIs. Almost 18%of KSIs were related to Speeding. About 19%of KSIs were related to not granting right of way to other vehicles or Circumstance-Based non-motorists. Trends Almost 18%of KSIs were related to Distracted Driving. About 15%of KSIs were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. About 24%of KSIs involved a Fixed Object. Movement-Based Almost 18%of KSIs involved a movement going straight and hitting a Trends pedestrian. About 19%of KSIs involved a left-or right-turning movement. Over 48%of reported KSIs occurred when it was Dark outside (between the Time-Based Trends hours of 7pm-4am);44%with Streetlights On,4%without Streetlights. Most KSIs occurred Thursdays (17%), Fridays (19%),and Sundays (18%). Nearly 88%of all KSIs occurred on a Principal or Minor Arterial Roadway. Nearly 78%of KSIs occurred on a roadway with a speed limit of 35mph or higher. Location-Based Trends Nearly 48%of KSIs occurred not at an intersection and not related to an intersection (as defined by Junction Relationship). About 62%of KSIs occurred in a location with No traffic control type,whereas 38%occurred at a Signal,Stop Sign,or other. Source:WSDOT Crash Data 2018-2022;Fehr&Peers,2024 Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) Analysis The City collects and reviews crash data to identify intersection and roadway locations where potential hazards exist. Potential safety problems are identified using the Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) methodology, an effective problem identification tool for evaluating locations with higher crash histories.The SPIS score for a location considers five years of data and considers frequency, crash rate, and severity.

Source: Fehr&Peers,2024 Crash Likelihood Mapping Utilizing the factors identified above, streets were evaluated for the presence of each factor. Roadways were then symbolized based on the number of factors present in a given segment. A higher number corresponds to a higher likelihood of a crash. See Figure 7 for Crash Likelihood Factors (Posted Speed, Streetlight Spacing, Commercial Land Use, Speed Differential, Horizontal Curves) and see Figure 8 for Vulnerable Road User Factors (Posted Speed, Streetlight Spacing, Commercial Land Use, Facility does not Meet Standard, Sidewalk missing on one or both side of Arterial or Collector).

Evaluation of remaining priority locations related to disadvantaged communities and community feedback. 4. Establish approach to address priority locations including countermeasure identification. Priority Location Assessment One of the central objectives of the CSAP is to develop projects and programs to address priority safety locations. Prioritizing locations helps the City to focus its resources and better align with the prerequisites of several grant programs the City may pursue. Improvements that address priority locations complement past, current, and planned City and private development projects by adding systemic and site specific improvements that address crash trends and crash likelihood factors identified in the CSAP.The following steps were taken to prioritize locations: Step 1 Preliminary Priority Location Identification To guide its investments,the City will focus on advancing its safety priorities based on criteria that account for both crash history (responsive) and crash potential (proactive) measured through the presence of crash likelihood factors,which are categorized into Vehicle and Vulnerable Road Users. Street Segments Street segments were analyzed separately for Vehicles and Vulnerable Road Users. Preliminary priority locations were identified on roadway segments with the presence of either 3 or more Vehicle or 3 or more Vulnerable Road Users crash likelihood factors present. These roadway segments were included as preliminary priority locations due to their potential greater need for safety improvements.

In this consideration,the City evaluated each location to determine what, if any, recently completed, underway, or planned City or private development projects may include safety countermeasures relevant to the identified safety concerns or risks.The City also evaluated if the location was an area that is within the City's jurisdiction and other relevant factors.Table 4 below lists the preliminary priority locations that were screened based on these considerations and determined to not move to the next step in the assessment process.

No additional applicable countermeasures were Ellingson Rd identified. A project was completed that widened S 277th from the intersection of Auburn Way North to L Street NE, including S 277th St:Auburn Way N Yes the construction of a separated multi-use trail,street to City Limits lighting, and other countermeasures.

Additionally,the Citywide guard Rail Project was completed. The Garden Avenue Improvements Project and the Lea Hill 104th Ave SE and Lea Hill Yes Roundabout Project are constructing improvements that Rd SE include safety countermeasures on 104th Ave SE near Lea Hill Road. Lake Tapps Parkway near No pedestrian access is intended or provided directly across Bridge of East Valley Yes the bridge. Instead,access is provided adjacent to the bridge Highway via a tunnel underneath the railroad to a trail connection. Source: Fehr&Peers,2024 Step 3 Equity and Community Feedback Equity considerations are an important component of the Safe System Approach. Low- income communities and communities of color may be disproportionately impacted by transportation safety issues.Additionally, conversations with stakeholders, and the community provided essential input to the development of the CSAP.This step evaluated priority locations based on presence in the Disadvantaged Community layer identified in Chapter 1 and presence of Community feedback identified in Chapter 2. Step 4 Project and Countermeasure Identification The City's prioritization framework provides a rigorous yet flexible approach to advancing corridor and intersection safety projects across the city. Based on the framework of this assessment,the following top priority safety project themes emerged to identify project intersections and corridors which are identified below (final locations shown in Figure 14): • Safety Emphasis Corridor Focus • Speed Reduction and Curve Treatment • Reconnecting Vulnerable Road Users: Filling in Auburn's Sidewalk and LTS Gaps • Citywide Street Lighting Improvements Safety Emphasis Corridor Focus Safety Emphasis Corridors were identified to show where there is a history of KSIs,the highest number of Crash Likelihood Factors, or the most SPIS intersections. In Auburn 59% of KSIs have occurred on these Safety Emphasis Corridors. Figure 11 shows the Safety Emphasis Corridors.Tables 5 through 11 provide suggested countermeasures for the Safety Emphasis Corridors in Auburn. It's important to note that not all countermeasures are intended to be implemented and not all may be appropriate for each situation present on FEHIO' PEERS Page 59 of 253 the corridors.The countermeasures are potential options that would be considered as safety improvement projects and programs are developed. 29 Page 60 of 253 Figure ii Safety Emphasis Corridor Focus f I.

Proven Safety Countermeasures Engineering countermeasures are physical, infrastructure-based improvements that can be made to roadways to make them safer by design. Engineering countermeasures help address the Safe Roads and Safe Speeds elements of the Safe System Approach.

Safe System Action Plan To supplement the CTP,Auburn has listed CSAP strategies to advance its safety goals and institutionalize safe system practices in its policies, programs, and operations.The safety action plan is organized into six core elements, including five aligned with the Safe System FEHR' PEERS Page 77 of 253 Approach-safe users,safe roadways,safe vehicles, safe speeds, and post-crash care-and one additional category capturing planning and culture in Table 15. For every action anticipated responsible party,timeline, and cost is identified: • Near-term actions are priorities within 1-3 years as staff resources allow; • Mid-term actions are priorities within the following 4-7 years as staff resources allow; and • Long-term actions are priorities beyond 7 years as staff resources allow. • Several actions are identified as Ongoing, indicating that they are actions already underway in the City and anticipated to continue through continued investment. • $ is low-cost and low staff resources; • $$ is medium cost at medium level of staff resources; and • $$$ is the highest cost to implement and the highest level of staff resources.

Source: Fehr&Peers,2024 Implementation Strategies Implementation is a critical step in the CSAP process. Considerations for successful implementation include: Oversight&Accountability- Forming an advisory committee force made up of stakeholders (such as Public Works and representatives from Police, Fire, Schools) and community members helps maintain sustained focus and success in implementing projects and actions identified in the CSAP. Such a committee would meet regularly to discuss delivery of projects, status of action items, and provide general support to advancing CSAP implementation. Coordination & Partnerships- Providing regular updates on action plan progress and coordinating with agency partners (see Responsible Parties column in Table 15) helps create sustained support, creates opportunities to bundle safety projects or initiatives with other related ongoing efforts, and facilitates CSAP implementation. Communication-Continued communication with stakeholders and community members in collaboration with the TAB builds trust and support for the City's safety goals.These can be completed through strategies such as communication across diverse channels, publication of factsheets on action plan progress, and regular public conversation on the topic of safety. Phasing&Sequencing-To see meaningful progress in road safety performance, sustained commitment and investment is needed. • Near-term implementation efforts may focus on successful completion of ongoing safety efforts and lower-cost improvements that can be constructed within three years. • Mid-term implementation goals may target larger and more comprehensive safety infrastructure projects and more complex programmatic efforts that require extensive cross-department collaboration. • Long-term implementation goals may focus on initiating significant shifts in the City's approach to planning and design to formalize the institutionalization of the Safe System Approach. 51 Page 82 of 253 Funding- Funding can be a major hurdle to CSAP implementation. Staying up to date on relevant grant opportunities and proactively pursuing grant funding for the most competitive projects can aid in overcoming funding hurdles.Auburn can take advantage of a variety of regional, state, and federal funding sources to finance safety project planning, design, and construction. Funding (including required matches) and resources must be available from the City to provide a successful grant application. See Table 16 for potential safety funding resources to consider. Table 16 Safety Funding Sources Funding Source Program Purpose Federal Sources The Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program is a flexible Community Development program that provides communities with resources to address a wide Block Grant(CDBG) Program range of unique community development needs.Communities often use CDBG funds to construct and repair streets and sidewalks. The Safe Streets&Roads for All (SS4A) grant program is a new Federal grant program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Safe Streets and Roads for All centered around the USDOT's National Roadway Safety Strategy and its (SS4A) Grant Program goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on America's roadways. It will provide$5 billion in grant funding over 5 years to implement safety projects. The Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Rebuilding American (RAISE) program supports surface transportation infrastructure projects Infrastructure with that will improve safety;environmental sustainability,quality of life, Sustainability and Equity mobility and community connectivity,economic competitiveness and (RAISE) opportunity including tourism,state of good repair, partnership and collaboration,and innovation. State Sources The Urban Sidewalk Program (USP), ran by Transportation Urban Sidewalk Program Improvement Board, is for counties with urban unincorporated areas (USP) and cities with a population greater than 5,000 and funds sidewalk projects. The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP), Active Transportation funded by FHWA,will award planning and design grants and Infrastructure Investment construction grants for eligible applicants to develop plans for active Program (ATIIP) transportation networks and spines.A goal of both types of ATIIP grants is to integrate active transportation facilities with transit services,where available,to improve access to public transportation. Financed by the TIB,the Urban Arterial Program (UAP)funds projects in Urban Arterial Program (UAP) one of the following bands:Safety,Commercial Growth and Development, Mobility,and Physical Condition. FEHRk PEERS Page 83 of 253 Financed by the TIB,the Active Transportation Program (ATP) provides Active Transportation funding to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety,enhanced pedestrian Program (ATP) and cyclist mobility and connectivity,or improve the condition of existing facilities. Complete Streets Program Financed by the TIB,the Complete Streets Program is a funding (CSP) opportunity for cities and counties that have an adopted complete streets ordinance. WSDOT offers funding to improve the transportation system to enhance safety and mobility for people who choose to walk or bike.The Pedestrian and Bicycle purpose of the program is to eliminate pedestrian and bicyclist fatal and serious injury traffic crashes, increase the availability of connected Program pedestrian and bicycle facilities that provide low traffic stress and serve all ages and abilities,and increase the number of people that choose to walk and bike for transportation. The purpose of the Safe Routes to Schools Program (SRTS) offered by Safe Routes to School WSDOT is to improve safety and mobility for children by enabling and Program (SRTS) 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 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)focuses on Highway Safety infrastructure projects with nationally recognized crash reduction Improvement Program factors (CRFs). Local HSIP projects must be identified on the basis of (HSIP) crash experience,crash potential,crash rate,or other data-supported means. Local and Regional Sources Auburn has an adopted transportation impact fee (TIF) program to Transportation Impact Fees facilitate transportation and promote economic well-being within the (TIF) City.TIF funds can be spent on projects identified in the TIF rate study, which was derived from the City's previous CTP. Source:Fehr&Peers,2024 53 Page 84 of 253 Evaluation Strategies Ongoing safety program evaluation provides an indication of progress towards goals and can help inform future decision making about safety investments. Effective program evaluation includes: Update the Plan Regularly- Update and track the CSAP every other year to assess whether new direction is needed as conditions within the City and regional change. Identify Target Metrics and Measure Performance-Safety metrics for tracking include the following identified in Table 17: Table 17:Target Performance Measures Performance Measure Reporting Period Reduction in average annual KSI crashes. Every two years Reduction in average annual KSI crashes involving vulnerable road users. Every two years Reduction in average annual vulnerable road user crashes.

Background for Motion: Background Summary: The Airport's Land Leases are subject to Fair Market Value ("FMV") lease rate adjustments in calendar years ending in a"0" and "5" (example: 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035). Per lease requirements, the City commissioned an appraisal to evaluate the market and determine the FMV lease rate for leased land on the Airport. The June 24, 2024 report, prepared by MAI Certified Appraiser— S. Murray Brackett& Senior Valuation Associate—Tim Lovell of CBRE's Valuation &Advisory Services concluded a FMV lease rate of$1.35 per square foot of land, per year, roughly a 35% increase over the 2024 lease rate. When budgeting for operational expenses, Airport management typically factors a 2% year-over- year budget increase. Amending the Lease Agreements to allow implementing the FMV increase over a three-year period (2025—2027), adjusting the rate increase by roughly 10% year-over-year during this three-year period vs. implementing the full (35%) increase in 2025 would substantially lessen the financial burden of the affected tenants without causing a harmful impact to the Airport's Operating Budget.

Background for Motion: Background Summary: In January of 2023 SpanaFlight entered into a lease with the City for the East Room of the Airport Administration Building. The initial term of the SpanaFlight lease expired on 12/31/2024, however, SpanaFlight had the option to exercise a three-year extension ("option term") by providing the City with timely notice. SpanaFlight provided no such notice and instead confirmed that they did not wish to exercise the option term. SpanaFlight further notified the City that should another tenant have interest in the East Room they would be willing and prefer to execute an early termination agreement. In May of 2023 Rainier Flight Services entered into a month-to-month lease with the City for three small offices located in the Airport Administration Building. In the Summer of 2024, Rainier expressed to Airport Management their desire to not only increase the amount of office space they had, but also solidify a long-term, rather than a month-to-month lease. The possibility of the East Room becoming available was discussed along with terms that the Airport would find acceptable. The new, long-term lease with Rainier is reflective of those terms.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES as follows: Section 1. The Mayor is authorized to execute the early termination agreement with SpanaFlight attached as Exhibit A and execute a new lease with Rainier which shall be in substantial conformity with the lease attached as Exhibit B.

Insofar as a Councilmember- Council Liaison position does not give all Ceouncilmembers equal access to the activities, functions, and information of or about a board, commission, committee, task force or any other advisory body, appointments to Council Liaison positions should be reserved to those instances where a Report to the Council by the board, commission, committee, task force, or any other advisory body would not be convenient or practical. B. Reports to the Council. Each board, commission, committee, task force, or any other advisory body of the City shall be requested to present a report to the City Council at a Regular Meeting or a Study Session of the City Council, as scheduled by the Mayor or Deputy Mayor. Such reports shall be scheduled for a Regular Council Meeting or a Council Study Session; and shall be delivered by the Cehair of the board, commission, committee, task force, or any other advisory body or designee. The reports shall inform the City Council of the activities, functions and information with which the board, commission, committee, task force, or any other advisory body has been involved since the previous report; and shall include the opportunity for questions by Councilmembers. Page 18 Page 246 of 253 17.7 Whenever a member of the City Council attends any meeting of any other entity or organization, he or she should endeavor to be prudent in what he or she says or does at such meeting. Further, the Councilmember should avoid attending such meeting if that attendance would impose an interference with the meeting or the operations of the other entity or organization, or of the operations of the City. SECTION 18 TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION 18.1 Value of Council Travel. The Auburn City Council recognizes the need of its members to attend conferences, trainings, and meetings to broaden their knowledge of and familiarity with a diverse collection of City-related issues, including, but not limited to, Public Works, Communications, Transportation, Economic Development, Public Safety, and Energy. These conferences also provide valuable opportunities to network with other elected Ccity elected-officials. Comparing Auburn's specific issues with those of other cities often provides the City Council with established policies already in place in other cities that can be adapted to meet the specific needs of the City of Auburn, as well as expediently and efficiently acquainting Auburn City Councilmembers with ideas of how to address Auburn issues and solve Auburn problems. 18.2 Annual Budget Amounts for Council Travel. To accommodate Council travel, the Auburn City Council shall allocate an identified amount of money each year in the City budget process to each Councilmember for City-related travel costs, including transportation, lodging, meals, and registration costs. 18.3 Adjustment of Council Travel Allocations. If a Ccouncilmember needs more than the amount of travel related funds allocated for their use, the Ccouncilmember shall (1)see if there are unused funds available from any other CGouncilmember(s) who are willing to transfer funds from their account to the Ccouncilmember needing additional travel funds. If so, with the consent of the Deputy Mayor and the other transferring Ceouncilmember(s), funds will be transferred to the requesting Ccouncilmember's allotment; or (2) shall request a net adjustment to the budget adding additional funds to their allotment, which adjustment shall be approved by a majority of the whole City Council. 18.4 Receipts and Travel Documentation. Each City Councilmember shall be responsible for providing to the Mayor or Finance Director, within ten (10) business days of returning from City travel, any and all City travel related receipts and documentation, and a written report regarding the authorized travel the Councilmember attended. All documentation shall also be sent via email to the CouncilAlerts(c�auburnwa.gov email address. Quarterly reports of the travel costs incurred by each cCouncilmember shall be provided by the Finance Department. Page 19 Page 247 of 253 SECTION 19 CONFIDENTIALITY 19.1 Councilmembers shall keep confidential all written materials and verbal information provided to them during Executive or Closed Sessions and as provided in RCW 42.23.070, to ensure that the City's position is not compromised. Confidentiality also includes information provided to Councilmembers outside of Executive Sessions when the information is considered by the exempt from disclosure under exemptions set forth in the Revised Code of Washington. Page 20 Page 248 of 253 Councilmembers Suggested Edits Section 12 - 19 Section 12 12.1 (A) Deputy (should have to be on council for at least a year to be considered for the Deputy Mayors position) Suggested to not change: This one should be left the way it was. They should serve at least one year because a brand new councilmember does not know everything yet to serve as Deputy Mayor. The Deputy Mayor elect should also have both Municipal Certificates from AWC to better understand their job. Section 12.2. 2. Keep as is in current rules Section 13 13.8 Submit at least two questions instead of one just in case one of your questions is similar to another question from another councilperson Section 16 Suggested added Language: Council members are encouraged to send questions to directors ahead of the meeting so the Director can answer them during their presentation. 16.2 (B) We should leave it the way it was originally written that The Deputy Mayor shall appoint Councilmembers to Council ad hoc committees, provided that the Mayor shall appoint members to Council ad hoc committees if the Deputy Mayor is disabled or precluded from acting in that capacity. 16.2 (E) We should leave this language in there Ad hoc council committees shall consider all matters referred to them. The chair of such ad hoc committee shall report to the City Council the findings of the committee. Committees may refer items to the Council with a committee recommendation or with no committee recommendation. Suggest to leave language as is currently: This one should be left as it was written. You have to put trust in your Deputy Mayor to choose the right people for an Ad Hoc committee. The Mayor should only be involved if the Deputy Mayor is disabled. Page 250 of 253 16.3 (A) Recommending edits to this section because it says Mayor or Deputy Mayor can assign to Ad Hoc Committees. Should consider removing Mator selecting or appointing Ad hoc committee members All Councilmembers shall have the opportunity to serve on such councils, boards, and/or committees as assigned by the Mayor and on a rotating basis at the discretion of the Mayor. Councilmember appointments to intergovernmental councils, boards, and committees by the Mayor shall be done with consideration of a Councilmember's expertise, background, knowledge, working experience and/or education in that council, board, or committee. Ad Hoc Committee appointment by the Mayor or Deputy Mayor shall be at their discretion. Section 17 17.5 Councilmembers shall not communicate with staff regarding their own personal business during times set out to discuss City of Auburn business. Councilmembers shall not discuss personal business with staff immediately before or after Council meetings in Council Chambers. 17.5 Suggested to remove -This should be taken out. this puts division with staff and council and if it is before a council meeting and after a council meeting that is not during a council meeting Section 18 18.4 — Clarify the kind of reports needed to be submitted Section 19 Add a new Section: "Community Commitments" a. Add a Section to incorporate the short version of the REDI Coalition Vision Statement and to provide a sample set of questions to guide existing and future council members on the types of questions appropriate for supporting the REDI initiative. b.

Section 19.2 Equity Lens Framework Members of the Council serve as elected representatives tasked with the responsibility to ensure that the long-term goals of the city meet the changing needs of the community. This is sample set of questions that Council may choose to ask at meetings to ensure legislative actions are considerate of potential future impacts within the city. • Who (what groups) does this resolution/ordinance impact? • Are all groups affected in the same way? • Who has been included in the decision-making process? • Have any groups been left out? • Have we allowed enough time for input? • Can we identify any potential benefit and/or harm from this decision in the near term or in the extended future (10-20+ years)? o What actions could mitigate potential harm or potential risks? • Are there any historically relevant factors affecting this issue or decision today? • Are there any comparable programs in our city or in other cities that we can learn from? 2) Addition of an Appendix a. The Appendix should include reference materials to support Council members in performing their legislative duties. These materials should be presented as simple "How-To" documents produced by the City Clerk and Legal Department and approved by Council during annual review of Rules and Procedures. b.
