Background Summary: The City received a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant for design and construction of the West Valley Highway project. The TIB grant is $3 million and requires a $2 million City match. The project will widen West Valley Highway to three lanes with a sidewalk along the east side. A median barrier will be installed to eliminate the queue-jumping problem, which has resulted in a number of accidents. Traffic signals will be improved and illumination will be added to enhance safety. The road will be reconstructed with a heavy-duty pavement section to accommodate very heavy truck traffic. A new storm water collection and treatment system will improve the quality of the water before it enters Mill Creek. This project is listed in the City's Six Year Transportation Improvement Program 2008-2013 as TIP#15. The project is consistent with the City's efforts to bring future truck routes up to the truck route standard. i W0505-8 175.2.15, 04.9.1 Reviewed by Council & Committees: Reviewed by Departments & Divisions: ?
