2018 STP Project Descriptions

Binghampton Streetscape Project Phase 1 

 

Agency: City of Rainier Project ID Number: 2018 STP 01 Priority Request: Primary
Grant Request: $95,150 Match: $14,850 Total Cost: $332,333
Phase: Construction  Project Duration: 2018 Has other federal funds? Yes
Location: Binghampton Street (SR 507) from Minnesota Street to Dakota Avenue


Project Overview


The Binghampton Streetscape Project (Phase 1) will enhance pedestrian space in downtown Rainier and improve crossing opportunities for residents, shoppers and students. The project will install two pedestrian-activated flashing beacons, landscaping strips, and sidewalk extensions (bulb-outs) along Binghampton Street between Minnesota Street and Dakota Avenue, both of which connect directly to the high school and middle school located directly south of the project area. The crosswalks have the highest pedestrian use for accessing the school facilities. Crosswalk signage improvements and bulbouts will shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians and increase both pedestrian and driver visibility. The new section of sidewalk on the north side of Binghampton provides safer access to businesses and significantly increases the separation of pedestrians and vehicles with the use of limited driveways and landscape strips. The design of this project has been completed and approved for construction by WSDOT. TRPC awarded this proposal $23,355 in Transportation Alternatives Program funding in 2017. Additional funding is necessary for the construction phase of this project.

SW Mosman Avenue Phase 2

Agency: City of Yelm Project ID Number: 2018 STP 02 Priority Request: Primary
Grant Request: $338,100 Match: $53,900 Total Cost: $1,653,300
Phase: Engineering and Construction  Project Duration: 2018 Has other federal funds? Yes
Location: Mosman Avenue SW from Longmire Street SW to Railroad Street SW


Project Overview


The SW Mosman Avenue project consists of extension and rehabilitation/reconstruction and preservation of SW Mosman Ave, from SW Railroad Street to Longmire Street SE, approximately 1,500 feet, with the new roadway connecting from Solberg Street to Longmire Street, approximately 600 feet. The new roadway alignment will transverse a portion of the Tahoma Valley Golf and Country Club property. This portion over the golf and country club property requires a relocation plan and right-of-way (ROW) acquisition. 
Improvements include new pavement with two travel lanes, various locations for turn lanes and parking lanes, bike lanes, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, landscaping, ADA improvements, illumination, storm water facilities, and adjusting utilities to grade along with other miscellaneous improvements. The new Mosman Avenue/Longmire Street intersection will be stop controlled with turn lanes. TRPC awarded this project a $155,700 STP grant in 2013. The current grant request will be used to complete engineering and to acquire ROW.

2018 CMAQ Project Descriptions

Intercity Transit’s Youth Education Program – “Walk N Roll”

 

Agency: Intercity Transit Project ID Number: 2018 CMAQ 01 Priority Request: Primary
Grant Request: $95,000 Match: $14,827 Total Cost: $109,827
Phase: Program  Project Duration: 2018 Has other federal funds? No
Location: Various corridors throughout Thurston County – see Project Overview

Project Overview 
Walk N Roll is a school‐focused public education and outreach program that encourages students and families to use active transportation choices for all trips. It positively impacts air quality in our region, neighborhoods, and around public schools by reducing congestion and idling on the trips to and from schools. The Walk N Roll program provides hands on activities for students with school district, city, and other partners to emphasize the benefits of safe biking, walking, and transit use especially in relation to air quality and the fact that motor vehicles are the main source of outdoor air pollution. This project will fund activities for the 2019-2020 school year.

Project Overview
The Smart Corridors Signal Upgrade and Transit Signal Priority Project Phase II is a collaborative effort of six different transportation agencies, with support from Thurston Regional Planning Council and the cities of Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, Thurston County, Intercity Transit, and Washington State Dept. of Transportation, Olympic Region. Each of those entities owns or operates equipment essential to implementation of the Smart Corridors project. This scalable project will optimize, and where appropriate synchronize, the upgraded signals, both for general traffic flows and transit, including implementation of Transit Signal Priority. Phase II will concentrate on the Martin Way corridor from Martin Way (near Lowes), west to Pacific Avenue (Olympia section), and Capitol Way/Capitol Boulevard from south of the Interstate 5 overpass to Tumwater Boulevard (Olympia-Tumwater section. A separate Phase III will focus on the remainder of Martin Way from College Street to Marvin Road and will be initiated after the construction of the new Marvin Road I-5 Interchange. This proposal will accept a minimum grant award of no less than $250,000.
