STATE TRANSPORTATION BUDGET 2009 ESSB 5352, Chapter 470, Laws of 2009 PV SELECTED ITEMS OF INTEREST TO PIERCE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PROJECT LIST
The 2009 state transportation budget appropriates funding for the 2009-2011 biennium. For many projects, it assumes a longer term spending plan, up to sixteen years. Because of declining revenues, many projects are to be delayed. In addition, the state spending plan assumes use of 30 year bonding rather than the customary 25 years. Items of particular interest to Pierce County:
○ The I-5 and SR 16 HOV project in Pierce County is moved forward as one of the state's high priority "mega" projects. Use of $70 million of funding from the federal stimulus package and adjustments in state funding allows for a project sequencing that will nearly finish the project in a sixteen year period. [section 306] ○ Funding is restored for a significant part of the design and right-of-way costs for SR 167, the new freeway between Puyallup and the Port of Tacoma. [section 306] ○ WSDOT is to expand the project from Key Peninsula Highway to the Purdy Vicinity to ensure the project includes improvements at intersection and along the roadway to reduce the severity and frequency of collisions related to roadway conditions and traffic congestion. [section 306] ○ Preconstruction activities are delayed for phase 2 of the widening of SR 161 in the Edgewood area. The delayed area is the project between 24th St E and 36th St E. [section 306] ○ WSDOT is provided $200,000 to prepare a comprehensive tolling study of the SR 167 corridor to determine the feasibility of administering tolls within the corridor. The report is due to the Washington Transportation Commission by September 30, 2010. The study must include consideration of value pricing, efficient operation, and economic considerations for future system investments. [section 306] ○ A number of local rail, road, and transit projects are funded, and grants for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program and the Safe Routes to Schools Program. ○ Special grants are funded for special needs transportation and for vanpool programs (ESHB 2072). [section 222]

○ Maximum amount for municipal airport grants is raised to $500,000 for this biennium. [section 718] ○ WSDOT and the City of Tacoma are required to present an agreement to the Legislature by January 1, 2010 on the timing of the transfer of ownership of the Murray Morgan/11th Street Bridge and any additional necessary state funding required to achieve the transfer and rehabilitation of the bridge. Previous state commitments are continued with up to $6,500,000 in the Puyallup tribal settlement account may be used for mitigation costs associated with demolition of the bridge. However, WSDOT may use the funds for rehabilitation, replacement, demolition, or mitigation only if the City of Tacoma accepts ownership No more than $39,953,000 may be expended by WSDOT and none may be expended unless Tacoma takes ownership. [section 307] ○ The Joint Transportation Committee will conduct an analysis of transportation funding mechanisms and methods. The study is intended to facilitate the development and possible implementation of alternative funding methods. [section 204]
The summary below is a selected survey of projects within Pierce County that are assumed in ESHB 2878. The summary does not necessarily represent all items of interest. Some projects include a mix of funding from various state, local, or federal revenue accounts.
