PROJECT ELEMENTS 700 parking stalls constructed at South Renton BRT station pair at the Tukwila International Boulevard Link Station: minor improvements

including signage BRT station pair at Burien Transit Center: minor improvements including signage BRT lanes and transit signal priority on S. 154th Street from the Tukwila International Boulevard

Station to the SR 518 on and off-ramps, on SR 518 from S. 154th Street to terminus of SR 518 at SR 509, and on SW 148th Street from SR 509 to the Burien Transit Center.

BRT vehicle fleet purchase of 34 coaches (3-door articulated coaches with ST BRT livery) Peak headways: 10 minutes Per-bus allowance as necessary for construction of a bus base 1 percent for art per Sound Transit policy Non-motorized access facilities (bicycle/pedestrian) and transit-oriented development

(TOD)/planning due diligence (see separate document titled “Common Project Elements”)

NOT INCLUDED Direct access ramps or HOV-to-HOV direct connector ramps Enhanced aesthetic surface treatments on the retaining walls Bus service on NE 85th Street Operations beyond the I-405 and SR 518 BRT corridor Sustainability measures and bus/rail integration facilities not included for BRT projects on

WSDOT right-of-way See separate document titled “Common Project Elements”

ISSUES & RISKS Relies on WSDOT to maintain adequate speed and reliability of I-405 express toll lane system Construction at the Brickyard Park-and-Ride would need to avoid the Tolt Pipeline, an existing

water supply pipeline that runs under the current northern surface parking lot in a southeast to northwest direction

At the NE 85th Street inline station the posted speeds and curve radii of the interchange “loop” ramps will need to be reduced to avoid major interchange ramp reconstruction and right-of-way impacts; the reconstruction of the I-405 bridges over NE 85th Street will create construction staging challenges to maintain the movement of high volumes of traffic through this interchange

Construction of the bus-only lanes in the NE 85th Street corridor would require embankment widening and retaining walls on NE 85th Street, including substantial lengths between 114th Avenue NE and 6th Street, and widening of the NE 85th Street bridge over the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

Widening of three bridges that cross over major highways (SR 518, SR 509, and Des Moines Memorial Drive)

Construction of new retaining walls along SR 518 Remediation may be required for poor soil conditions and hazardous materials

Sound Transit has developed a conceptual scope of work for this candidate project for the purpose of generating a representative range of costs, both capital and operating; and benefits, including ridership forecasts, TOD potential, multi-modal access and others. This information is being developed to assist the Sound Transit Board as it develops an ST3 system plan, including phasing of investments and financial plan, for voter consideration. Final decisions on project elements (e.g., alignment, profile, station locations, and number of parking stalls) will be determined after completion of system planning, project level environmental review, and preliminary engineering during which additional opportunities for public participation will be provided. Therefore, this scope definition should not be construed as a commitment that all representative features will be included in the final developed project.

Long Description: This project would establish BRT that would operate primarily in the I-405 express toll system for approximately 30 miles between Lynnwood to Renton via I-405, in the HOV lanes for most of the 4 miles from Renton to Tukwila via I-405, and in new BRT lanes on SR 518 for approximately 3 miles (37 total miles). Improvements include parking, stations, station access improvements, and bus/BRT-only lanes. A 1,000 stall parking garage will be constructed at Kingsgate Park-and-Ride, and a 700 stall parking facility would be constructed at the S. Renton Transit Center. The Central Kirkland BRT inline station would include elevators to bus stops on NE 85th Street. Bus-only lanes would be constructed in Kirkland on NE 85th Street between I-405 and 6th Street. BRT lanes would be constructed between the Tukwila International Boulevard Link Station and the Burien Transit Center on S. 154th Street, SR 518, and SW 148th Street. BRT would serve the Lynnwood Transit Center, Canyon Park, UW Bothell, Brickyard, Totem Lake, Central Kirkland, Bellevue Transit Center, S. Renton Transit Center, Tukwila International Boulevard Link Station, and the Burien Transit Center.

Assumptions: BRT would operate in general purpose lanes on I-5 (between the Lynnwood Transit Center and I-405) BRT would operate in general purpose lanes on I-405 between I-5 and Brickyard (using shoulder bus lanes in southbound direction in two

segments) Leaving Brickyard, BRT would transition from general purpose lanes to I-405 express toll lanes, continuing to Totem Lake freeway station BRT would operate in I-405 express toll lanes between Totem Lake and South Renton, accessing the Bellevue Transit Center from the NE

6th Street HOV direct access ramp From the South Renton transit center, southbound BRT buses would enter I-405 on Rainier Avenue general purpose on-ramp and weave

over to the inside HOV lanes towards I-5. Close to I-5, buses would weave over to general purpose lanes continuing to SR 518 and the Tukwila International Boulevard Link Station. Northbound BRT buses would follow this routing in the reverse direction.

The Tukwila International Boulevard station to the Burien Transit Center would include new bus-only lanes on SR 518 For the UW Bothell station, pedestrian improvements are included for access to the BRT stations along the NE 195th corridor; in addition,

the design estimate includes station/system access allowance costs for additional access improvements, possibly connecting to the existing North Creek trail

Construction of a parking garage at Kingsgate will temporarily displace parking and parking may be temporarily provided nearby; costs for temporary parking replacement have been included in the cost estimate for this project, but a specific location for the parking replacement has not been identified

At the Brickyard Park-and-Ride, the new northbound flyer stop will be served by a braided ramp that connects directly to I-405 and SR 522; this braided ramp is currently under construction; buses using the northbound flyer station stop and continuing north on I-405 will need to weave across general purpose traffic

New or upgraded traffic signals would be provided along NE 85th Street for the bus-only lanes Multiple retaining walls along the north and south sides of NE 85th Street in Kirkland to accommodate bus-only lanes Widening of the NE 85th Street bridge over the Cross Kirkland Corridor to accommodate bus-only lanes Multiple bridge widenings and retaining walls for the BRT-only lanes along S. 154th Street, SR 518, and SW 148th Street. For non-motorized station access allowances, the Lynnwood Transit Center and Bellevue Transit Center stations are categorized as urban

stations and intermodal transit centers, and the Canyon Park, UW Bothell, Brickyard, Totem Lake, Central Kirkland, and S. Renton stations are characterized as suburban stations. The Tukwila International Boulevard BRT Station is categorized as a suburban station and an intermodal transit center. The Burien Transit Center BRT station is categorized as an urban station.

Environmental: Sound Transit will complete project-level state and federal environmental reviews as necessary; provide mitigation for significant impacts; obtain and meet the conditions of all required permits and approvals; and strive to exceed compliance and continually improve its environmental performance.

Utilities: Utility relocation as needed to complete the project, including fiber optics, sewer, water, overhead electric/communications, etc. Construction at the Brickyard Park-and-Ride will need to avoid the Tolt pipeline

Right-of-Way and Property Acquisition: Right-of-way acquisition and easements as needed to complete the project For the Central Kirkland inline station, property acquisition will be needed along both on-ramps to I-405 for the widening of the mainline

required by the inline station in the I-405 median For the bus-only lanes in the NE 85th Street corridor in Kirkland, property acquisition will be needed along both sides of NE 85th Street

between 120th Avenue NE and 6th Street. The new and improved flyer stops at Canyon Park, UW Bothell, and Brickyard, the improved Totem Lake in-line station and the new

Kingsgate parking garage will be constructed within WSDOT right-of-way Per-bus allowance as necessary for construction of a bus base. It assumed that a bus base will be built along this corridor.

Potential Permits/Approvals Needed: FHWA approval for modifications to interchanges and ramps WSDOT and FHWA approvals for use of and/or crossings of I-5, I-405, SR 518 and SR 509 rights-of-way Agreements with WSDOT and King County Metro for use of park-and-rides, outside flyer stops, and in-line stations Building permits: Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Utility connection permits Construction-related permits (clearing and grading, stormwater management, street use, haul routes, use of city right-of-way) Master use Land use approvals (Conditional use, design review, site plans, Comprehensive Plan or development code consistency, Special Use

Sound Transit has developed a conceptual scope of work for this candidate project for the purpose of generating a representative rangeof costs, both capital and operating; and benefits, including ridership forecasts, TOD potential, multi-modal access and others. Thisinformation is being developed to assist the Sound Transit Board as it develops an ST3 system plan, including phasing of investmentsand financial plan, for voter consideration. Final decisions on project elements (e.g., alignment, profile, station locations, and number ofparking stalls) will be determined after completion of system planning, project level environmental review, and preliminary engineeringduring which additional opportunities for public participation will be provided. Therefore, this scope definition should not be construedas a commitment that all representative features will be included in the final developed project.

Long Description:This program would implement a series of improvements designed to improve passenger access and amenities, existing transit services,travel time through bus-on-shoulder and other related transit priority elements. These projects would be implemented as early deliverableswithin the ST3 System Plan. Program elements include:

· King County Metro Rapid Ride C and D Capital ImprovementsThis project would design and implement transit priority improvements along King County Metro’s Rapid Ride C and D lines that provide serviceto Ballard and West Seattle as an early deliverable to provide improved speed and reliability, in advance of light rail starting operations to theseareas. This project would be completed in coordination with King County Metro.

· Proposed Bus on Shoulder Program: Opportunities along I-5, I-405, SR 518, and SR 167This program proposes to enable buses to use shoulders on freeway and state route facilities during periods of congestion in general trafficand/or HOV lanes. This program will require coordination and further study with transit partners, WSDOT, and Federal Highway Administrationin order to determine locations that may be feasible for this program.

· North Sounder Parking and Access ImprovementsThis project would provide an early deliverable within the ST3 System Plan by providing additional parking at Mukilteo and Edmonds SounderStations and an opportunity for access improvements prioritized per Sound Transit’s System Access Policy.

· Improved Passenger Amenities at Stations and StopsThis program would provide improved passenger amenities at stations and stops, including access improvements for bikes/pedestrian access,real time information expansion at stations/stops; Expanded use of ORCA and/or Mobile Pay options; Access for drop-off and pick-up capacityat stations, transit services, car share services, and private vehicles.

Assumptions:· Coordination and study with WSDOT to determine feasible locations for bus on shoulder will be required. Specific locations within the

opportunity areas have not yet been identified for these type of treatments· Improvements along RapidRide C and D routes would enable faster travel time and reliability for these services· The schedule for completing these project would be within the first 3-8 years of Sound Transit’s System Plan· North Sounder improvements include parking, but other access improvements can be considered depending on the prioritization per the

ST System Access Policy and in coordination with local jurisdictions

Environmental:Sound Transit will complete project-level state and federal environmental reviews as necessary to provide mitigation for significant impacts, obtainand meet the conditions of all required permits and approvals, and strive to exceed compliance and continually improve its environmentalperformance.
