1 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DIVISION OCTOBER 2015 UPDATE TJERNE PLACE CHAIN LAKE ROAD TO WOODS CREEK ROAD This project involves extending Tjerne Place from Chain Lake Road to Woods Creek Road. Right-of-Way acquisition is needed along the length of the project. The proposed improvements include wide sidewalks on both sides of the road, two 12-ft travel lanes and a center turn lane, modifications to the existing signal at Chain Lake Rd and Tjerne Place, and a new driveway into the Safeway shopping center. Provisions are being made for a new signal at Woods Creek Rd, and will be installed depending on the cost of the project. We have a commitment from PUD to provide $1,000,000 and have received a $3,100,000 grant from TIB. Estimated Cost: $4,847,700 Construction Target: Begin Summer 2015; End Summer 2016 A lot of earth has been removed! The roadway cut has taken shape and the rough grade of the road can be seen. The contractor will continue to touch up the grading this month, finish the new concrete retaining walls by Emerald City Athletic Club, and begin working on storm, sewer and water utilities.

2 MAIN STREET PLAZA Lewis & E. Main Street The City received a grant from the Department of Ecology to separate the stormwater system from the sanitary sewer system. The project area includes: --Lewis Street south of Fremont Street to the alleyway north of Main Street. --Main Street from Lewis Street to Ferry Street. The work includes in-house design efforts to design a new storm drainage system that will infiltrate stormwater into the underlying soils. The design concept includes the installation of pervious concrete parking lanes along the streets that will capture and infiltrate street runoff into the underlying soils. This approximately 1,160 foot road project is anticipated to begin construction in the spring of W. Main Street In January of this year, the City decided to include West Main Street (between Lewis and Blakeley intersections) as an additional project to the 2015 construction season. The goal would be to create a uniform streetscape in the downtown corridor along Main Street. This project is slated for construction this summer, with a targeted completion date prior to the Monroe Fair Days Parade. This would give the option to hold a festival event on this block of Main Street in conjunction with the parade. This project is anticipated to begin construction in the summer of Both project phases are complete! The City had a ribbon cutting ceremony ahead of the Fair Days Parade to celebrate this milestone achievement. Page 2 of 12

Concept designs will be ultimately presented to Council for their review and selection of the preferred design, after which design documents will be prepared and be ready for contractor bidding. Funding is secured for design only. Additional funding will need to be sought for actual construction. The design consultant has provided City staff 30% Design (preliminary) drawings for review and comment. They will continue working on design development throughout the upcoming months. The targeted design completion date is the end of this year.

5 W. MAIN STREET SIDEWALKS The project scope includes installing a concrete sidewalk along the south side of W. Main Street between the Tester Road Roundabout and the future Housing Hope development. This would complete sidewalk connectivity between downtown and the Monroe High School, thereby increasing pedestrian safety and providing alternative modes of transportation. The City received a grant from TIB in the amount of $368,638 to help fund this project. Estimated Cost: $495,000 Construction Target: Spring 2016 The schedule has been revised to reflect construction of this project in the spring and summer months of Engineering staff are approximately 90% complete with the project plans and will be continuing their efforts to complete the design and prepare supporting documentation.

7 WOODS CREEK TRAIL PHASE I In 2011 plans were prepared for a new shared path along the west side of Woods Creek Road that would connect the downtown to the trail system coming down from The Farm development. The plans include a paved 10 wide trail, soldier pile retaining wall, and necessary storm drainage. At that time local funding carried the project only through design development. In 2014 the City received a grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to construct the project. This grant award has a maximum payable amount of $1,718,000. The project is alive again and will be constructed in Estimated Project Cost: $2,071,000 (incl. design & construction) Construction Target: Summer 2016 The original design consultant (Otak) is under contract to revise the project documents and bring them to current design standards and account for the new Tjerne Place SE intersection.

8 SIDEWALK RAILROAD CROSSINGS FRYELANDS BOULEVARD & 179 TH AVENUE SE In 2015 the City received a $244,500 grant from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program of Snohomish County. The purpose of this project is to provide safe pedestrian pathways across the existing railroad tracks at both the Fryelands Boulevard and 179 th Avenue SE street crossing locations. Estimated Project Cost: $291,500 Construction Target: Summer 2016 Engineering staff are coordinating plans with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) for a wider access easement over the railroad tracks. The surveying consultant will prepare topographic mapping in support of the easement negotiation and pending crossing designs. The progress of design and eventual construction is heavily dependent on BNSF and the Utility Transportation Commission (UTC). With that understanding, we anticipate the design efforts to begin in the Fall of this year and have project documents complete and ready for contractor bid advertisement in the next summer.
