Corridor Study

The Tacoma City Council commissioned astudy to work cooperatively with the Port of

Tacoma and other area businesses to developa transportation corridor in the alignment of theD Street in the East Thea Foss Peninsula areato separate industrial and nonindustrial uses

and to address traffic and related issues amongthe varied interests.

Project Purpose

Project Area


4/43


Corridor Study

To identify possible transportation solutionsfor the East Foss Peninsula that are

consistent with planning efforts, protect andencourage economic development, andfacilitate a transition between co-existing landuses of the East Thea Foss peninsula.

Steering Committee Vision Statement


5/43


Corridor Study

Focus on three primary area wide needs:

Traffic Access, Circulation & FunctionalSeparation

Transitions between mixed-use and industrialuses

Maintain/improve arterials to support existingbusinesses and to help spur new privateinvestments

Steering Committee


6/43


Corridor Study

Study Assumptions

No change to existing zoning

Recommended road projects are not subject to theMurray Morgan bridge funding decisions

Recognize the importance of the transportationlinks between the downtown and the Peninsulaarea

Prepared planning level project cost estimates

Emergency service levels would be unchanged

The E. 11th Street Bridge over the Puyallup River isapproaching its service life

Traffic Analysis Scenarios

Two access & circulation scenarios involving theMurray Morgan Bridge and East D Street at SR-509were analyzed as follows:

I. Fully operational Murray Morgan Bridge, D Streetoverpass complete, SR509 ramps to D Street.

II. Vehicle restricted operation of the Murray MorganBridge, D Street overpass complete, and no SR 509ramps to D Street.

Summary of Key Points

Study area wide need for roadway maintenance

Desire for slip ramps at East D Street to SR 509

Desire to increase economic/redevelopmentopportunities of underutilized parcels

Need for improved arterial design to meet existing uses

Desire to ensure equitable distribution of improvementcosts

Recommended Implementation Strategy

Other Implementation Strategies:

Develop a plan to classify heavy truck arterials and implementheavy truck arterial design standards.

Determine if a shared cost approach (LID or other) would beacceptable to study area businesses and property owners.

As funding allows, adopt the recommended projects into the CitysSix-Year Transportation Program 2008 amendment.

Add all unfunded capital projects to the 2008 ComprehensivePlan/Transportation Element/Project list.

Implement three priority projects:

1. Begin needed street and rail crossing maintenance.

2. Improve the East 11th Street at East F Street/St Paul intersection.

3. Move forward with SR 509 ramp feasibility with WSDOT and BNSF

Recommended Next Steps

Incorporate appropriate sections of traffic study into theS-8 Shoreline Master Plan Regulations.

Implement the recommended three priority projects

Participating entities need to take studyrecommendations back to their boards/commissions

Increase coordination of advanced facility planningbetween the City and the Port of Tacoma.

Facilitate partnerships to share infrastructure costs tomaintain existing uses and to increase economic

development in the study area.
