Doris Sorum City Clerk On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the draft Six-Year Comprehensive Transportation Improvement Program Amended 2015-2016 & 2017-2022. Section 35.77.010 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) provides that the legislative body of each city and town prepare and adopt a comprehensive transportation program for the ensuing six calendar years and annually thereafter pursuant to one or more public hearings, prepare and adopt a revised and extended comprehensive transportation program, and each one-year extension and revision thereof will be filed with the Secretary of Transportation of the State of Washington. Section 35.77.010 of the RCW further provides that each city will include in their comprehensive transportation program how they intend to expend the revenues for non-motorized transportation purposes. The comprehensive transportation program can be amended at any time with City Council adoption after a public hearing. The program includes roadways, bridges, non-motorized facilities, sidewalks and other capital related transportation projects. The program is based upon anticipated revenues versus desirable projects. There are always more projects than available revenues. The City adopted the Transportation Master Plan December 2015, which includes a prioritized list of transportation projects. The adoption of the Transportation Master Plan included citywide community outreach and two public hearings. The proposed list of projects to be added to the Six-Year Comprehensive Transportation Improvement Program Amended 2015 2016 & 2017 2022 support the goals and policies as well as network priorities outlined in the Transportation Master Plan. On January 20, 2016, staff presented a proposed list of projects to be added to the Six Year Comprehensive Transportation Improvement Program Amended 2015 2016 & 2017 2022 to the Transportation Commission. Staff also presented the draft Six-Year Comprehensive Transportation Improvement Program Amended 2015-2016 & 2017 2022 to the Infrastructure, Planning, and Sustainability Committee on April 13, 2016.
