"I hope transit benefits the community by bridging walkable areas to each other and supporting centers of growth." "I think it should have additional stream rapid routes. This can be done by upgrading and modifying much of the existing routes and having them run very frequently." More Frequent Service 30% "I run into the problem that bus schedules on weekend don't run frequent enough and late enough I either have to show up really early to work and have to walk home because of the schedules." New Routes 25% Extended Hours 20% "Better coverage, both in service hours and locations." 0 Improved Connections 15% "More frequent trips to make transit a viable option for daily travel in Pierce County." op Bus Rapid Transit 5% "Focus on bus routes and timely connection."

Resources from the removal of peak-only routes are used to invest in the community-identified priority mobility needs and light rail will connect riders to downtown Seattle. • The desire for additional increased coverage • The Phase 3 network increases coverage with the proposed Metro Flex zones. Providing additional increased coverage would require deviating existing routes or creating new routes. With a cost-neutral budget this would mean removing service improvements that align with the community-identified priority mobility needs. 1.41 King County METRO Moving forward together South Link link o. 0 6 of 208 nect� Impacts to Auburn 14 King County METRO Moving forward together South Link Link d of 208 °nett:` New Route 164: Kent Des Moines Station to Green River College via Kent Station 1__rig' How often might this bus run?

Background for Motion: Background Summary: The purpose of this discussion is to inform the Council and Public of the overall status of the City's Capital Project program managed by the Public Works Engineering Services Division, and present the feature project: Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program. Engineering Services is currently managing 40 projects, totaling approximately $135.8 million in total project costs. Of these projects, 22 are in design and 18 are under construction. Information for each project is listed in the Capital Project Status (CPS) Report. The feature project highlighted with this presentation is the City's Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program. This program aims to improve safety for all road users, reduce speeds in neighborhoods so that most cars drive at or below the speed limit, discourage cut-through vehicle traffic, educate residents through traffic safety awareness and outreach, and meet Auburn's equity goals with a proactive approach. This presentation will give an overview of the program and provide an update on neighborhood traffic safety projects that are completed, currently in construction, and planned for the future.

Assessed Value: ACC 12.48.045 states: "The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the city be compensated for the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated, except in the event the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of a dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an amount equal to the full value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall estimate the value of the right-of-way to be vacated based on the assessed values of comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is determined by the city engineer to be greater than $2,000 the applicant will be required to provide the city with an appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the expense of the applicant. The city reserves the right to have a second appraisal performed at the city's expense." RCW 35.79.030 states the vacation "shall not become effective until the owners of property abutting upon the street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall compensate such city or town in an amount which does not exceed one-half the appraised value of the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated public right-of- way for twenty-five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense, the city or town may require the owners of the property abutting the street or alley to compensate the city or town in an amount that does not exceed the full appraised value of the area vacated." An appraisal by an MAI appraiser of the subject right-of-way was required to be submitted by the applicant. The appraisal was reviewed and found to be acceptable. The appraisal values the right-of-way using an "Across the Fence" appraisal methodology which values the subject right-of-way at $86,000. The south 32.5 feet of right-of-way has been right-of-way for more than 25 years and was provided through dedication of the plat of 1st Addition to Town of Slaughter in 1887. The north 7.5 feet of right-of-way was provided through Right of Way Dedication Deed to the City in 2009. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the right-of-way vacation be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. An Easement shall be reserved for Puget Sound Energy, Inc. electric facilities. 2.
