Proposed Transportation Improvement Program Amendment Would Add New Projects, Update Others

SRTC is proposing an amendment to the 2013-2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that would change the details of a couple projects and add six new Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) projects that recently received federal funding. We're looking for input on the proposed amendment.

The TIP is a programming document that identifies projects proposed to be undertaken or constructed during the upcoming four years. It includes project names and descriptions, the jurisdiction sponsoring them, funding attached to each project, and where the funding came from (local, state or federal funds).

 The proposed amendment includes changes to existing projects from the City of Spokane and Spokane County, and adding the following new WSDOT projects:

SR 27/Indiana Jct. – Union Pacific Railroad Crossing – Safety Improvements

SR 902/Medical Lake Railroad Crossing – Safety Improvements

US 195/Plaza Rd. to Cornwall Rd. – Paving

ER Region Wide Basic Safety – Signing

ER Region Wide Basic Safety – Guardrail

ER Low Cost Pavement Repair and Region Wide Crack Sealing

For details, or to submit comments on these projects and the others proposed to be changed, go to http://www.srtc.org/tip.html. The public comment period runs through 4 p.m. on August 27.
