OUTCOMES:
The SR 520 Trail Grade Separation project improved safety and operations for all users at the intersection of the SR 520 Trail and NE 40th Street by grade separating non-motorized users from vehicular traffic. A tunnel was constructed underneath 40th Street for pedestrians and bicyclists with all the associated required infrastructure improvements needed to connect the 520 Trail to the tunnel. Specific project benefits include:
• Improve safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Improve operations for vehicles and buses by reducing the number of pedestrians and bicycles crossing NE 40th Street.
• Provide a safe and efficient path for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross NE 40th Street.

Funding source(s):
Connecting WA Transportation package, Transportation CIP and CFD 2016-01
Budget/Funding Constraints:
City will be requesting approval from the Community Facilities District (CFD) Board of Supervisor on December 7th immediately prior to the Council Meeting for payment of a portion of the expenditures, in the amount of $433,696 that is not eligible for payment from Connecting Washington funds. The City anticipates CFD Board approval, however If the request is not approved by the Board, then this amount will be funded by Transportation CIP funds.
Final project costs were approximately $2 million less than the budgeted amount due to value engineering and competitive contractor bids. Lower expenditures were attributed to project management and a detailed design approach, including precise identification of all utilities to limit potential conflicts within the project.
