Proposed Amendment Would Add Projects That Just Received Federal Funding

It's that time again- the time of the month where we add projects to the 2013-2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), then ask you if those projects are a good use of our federal dollars.

The TIP is a document that identifies projects proposed to be constructed or completed during the upcoming four years. The TIP 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).

This month's proposed amendment includes adding the following new projects to the TIP that recently received federal funds:

City of Spokane
2013 Downtown Pedestrian Improvements
Addison and Standard Streets Bicycle and Pedestrian Corridor
Barnes Road from Phoebe Drive to Strong Road
Video Detection System Upgrade

Spokane County
Old Trails/Inland Road Gravel Road Reconstruction and Paving Project

Spokane Transit Authority
Community Colleges of Spokane - Universal Transit Pass Program

Descriptions for the projects proposed to be added to the TIP can be found on the SRTC website at http://www.srtc.org/tip.html. Once on the page, scroll down to the "TIP Amendments" section. There's info there on how to submit comments as well.
