SRTC is proposing an amendment
to the 2016-2019 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that would adding four
new projects and making changes to seven other projects already included in the
TIP.
The TIP is a
document that identifies projects programmed 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 TIP is updated regularly
throughout the year as SRTC’s member jurisdictions have projects to add, change
or remove from the program. The amendment under consideration would:
- Add three new Spokane Transit, Spokane County and Spokane Valley projects to the plan.
- Add additional federal funds to Cheney’s Washington Street: Betz Road to Oakland Street project.
- Push Spokane Transit’s Monroe Street High Performance Transit Infrastructure Upgrades project from 2018 back to 2020.
- Increase the total project cost of Spokane Transit’s Paratransit Van Replacement project to correct a previous error.
- Change the scope of a Spokane Valley project to make improvements on Mission Avenue.
- Reschedule construction of two Spokane Valley projects from 2018 to 2020.
- Transfer funds from a STA project to a WSDOT project to implement a portion of the project.
