III. DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
The Six-Year TIP is a state-mandated planning document which contains all significant transportation projects anticipated to be built or to compete for grant funding within the next six years. Projects are shown in Redmond’s TIP when they are consistent with financial planning documents or are being advanced through private development, including:
• Redmond’s 2020-2025 6-Year Capital Investment Program (shown as funded)
• Projects committed in development agreements (shown as funded)
• Active private development construction (shown as funded)
• Potential grant candidates that are in the Capital Investment Strategy (shown as unfunded)
Following last year’s more substantial update, this year’s TIP reflects only minor changes - specifically, modifications to two projects, removal of five completed projects, and no addition of new projects. The changes are summarized below in Table 1 and 2.

V. IMPACT
A. Service/Delivery:
The TIP must be updated annually to enable the City to apply for and accept State and Federal transportation grants.
B. Fiscal Note:
This document does not obligate the City to expend funds or alter its capital funding priorities.
VI. ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council may choose not to adopt a 2020-2025 Transportation Improvement Program which would limit the City’s ability to apply for and accept transportation grants.
VII. TIME CONSTRAINTS
A 2020-2025 Six-Year TIP must be adopted in 2019 to comply with state requirements.
