Background and Analysis:
Intercity Transit is pursuing public improvements along the Martin Way and Pattison Street frontages as part of their transit facility expansion. City staff have also identified the need for additional pedestrian crossing safety improvements in this area. In December 2015, the City and Intercity Transit entered into a Development Agreement that addresses the construction of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Martin Way and Pattison Street. The Development Agreement identified the opportunity to partner and cost share on the design and construction of the traffic signal due to the mutual benefits to both the City and Intercity Transit.
Construction of the frontage improvements and traffic signal is currently underway by Intercity Transit. In the attached Interlocal Agreement, the City agrees to a cost share of up to 50 percent of the costs related to the traffic signal and associated pedestrian crossing improvements. The maximum participation value of the City may not exceed $400,000. Both Intercity Transit and City staff will review and approve the final cost of the completed improvements before payment by the City.
