(c) In making budget allocations to the Puget Sound Gateway22project, the department shall implement the project's construction as23a single corridor investment. The department shall develop a24coordinated corridor construction and implementation plan for state25route number 167 and state route number 509 in collaboration with26affected stakeholders. Specific funding allocations must be based on27where and when specific project segments are ready for construction28to move forward and investments can be best optimized for timely29project completion. Emphasis must be placed on avoiding gaps in fund30expenditures for either project.31

(d) It is the legislature's intent that the department shall32construct a full single-point urban interchange at the junction of33state route number 161 (Meridian avenue) and state route number 16734and a full single-point urban interchange at the junction of state35route number 509 and 188th Street. If the department receives36additional funds from an outside source for this project after the37base project is fully funded, the funds must first be applied toward38the completion of these two full single-point urban interchanges.39


(e) In designing the state route number 509/state route number1516 interchange component of the SR 167/SR 509 Puget Sound Gateway2project (M00600R), the department shall make every effort to utilize3the preferred "4B" design.4

(20) Any advisory group that the department convenes during the72019-2021 fiscal biennium must consider the interests of the entire8state of Washington.9

(21) The legislature finds that there are sixteen companies10involved in wood preserving in the state that employ four hundred11workers and have an annual payroll of fifteen million dollars. Before12the department's switch to steel guardrails, ninety percent of the13twenty-five hundred mile guardrail system was constructed of14preserved wood and one hundred ten thousand wood guardrail posts were15produced annually for state use. Moreover, the policy of using steel16posts requires the state to use imported steel. Given these findings,17where practicable, and until June 30, 2021, the department shall18include the design option to use wood guardrail posts, in addition to19steel posts, in new guardrail installations. The selection of posts20must be consistent with the agency design manual policy that existed21before December 2009.22

(22)(a) For projects funded as part of the 2015 connecting23Washington transportation package listed on the LEAP transportation24document identified in subsection (1) of this section, if the25department expects to have substantial reappropriations for the262021-2023 fiscal biennium, the department may, on a pilot basis,27apply funding from a project in this section with an appropriation28that cannot be used for the current fiscal biennium to advance one or29more of the following projects:30

(i) I-82 Yakima - Union Gap Economic Development Improvements31(T21100R);32

(ii) I-5 Federal Way - Triangle Vicinity Improvements (T20400R);33or34

(iii) SR 522/Paradise Lk Rd Interchange & Widening on SR 52235(Design/Engineering) (NPARADI).36

(b) At least ten business days before advancing a project37pursuant to this subsection, the department must notify the office of38financial management and the transportation committees of the39legislature. The advancement of a project may not hinder the delivery40Code Rev/AI:eab 62 S-4615.3/19 3rd draft

of the projects for which the reappropriations are necessary for the12021-2023 fiscal biennium.2

(c) For connecting Washington projects that have already begun3and are eligible for the authority granted in section 601 of this4act, the department shall prioritize advancing the following projects5if expected reappropriations become available:6

(i) SR 14/I-205 to SE 164th Ave - Auxiliary Lanes (L2000102);7(ii) SR 305 Construction - Safety Improvements (N30500R);8(iii) SR 14/Bingen Underpass (L2220062);9(iv) I-405/NE 132nd Interchange - Totem Lake (L1000110);10(v) US Hwy 2 Safety (N00200R);11(vi) US-12/Walla Walla Corridor Improvements (T20900R);12(vii) I-5 JBLM Corridor Improvements (M00100R);13(viii) I-5/Slater Road Interchange - Improvements (L1000099);14(ix) SR 510/Yelm Loop Phase 2 (T32700R); or15(x) SR 520/124th St Interchange (Design and Right of Way)16

(L1000098).17(d) To the extent practicable, the department shall use the18

flexibility and authority granted in this section and in section 60119of this act to minimize the amount of reappropriations needed each20biennium.21

(23) The legislature continues to prioritize the replacement of22the state's aging infrastructure and recognizes the importance of23reusing and recycling construction aggregate and recycled concrete24materials in our transportation system. To accomplish Washington25state's sustainability goals in transportation and in accordance with26RCW 70.95.805, the legislature reaffirms its determination that27recycled concrete aggregate and other transportation building28materials are natural resource construction materials that are too29valuable to be wasted and landfilled, and are a commodity as defined30in WAC 173-350-100.31

Further, the legislature determines construction aggregate and32recycled concrete materials substantially meet widely recognized33international, national, and local standards and specifications34referenced in American society for testing and materials, American35concrete institute, Washington state department of transportation,36Seattle department of transportation, American public works37association, federal aviation administration, and federal highway38administration specifications, and are described as necessary and39


desirable products for recycling and reuse by state and federal1agencies.2

As these recyclable materials have well established markets, are3substantially a primary or secondary product of necessary4construction processes and production, and are managed as an item of5commercial value, construction aggregate and recycled concrete6materials are exempt from chapter 173-350 WAC.7

(24)(a) The legislature recognizes that the city of Mercer Island7has unique access issues that require the use of Interstate 90 to8leave the island and that this access may be affected by the I-90/9Two-Way Transit and HOV Improvements project. One of the most heavily10traveled on-ramps from Mercer Island to the westbound Interstate 9011general purpose lanes is from Island Crest Way. The department must12continue to consult with the city of Mercer Island and the other13signatories to the 1976 memorandum of agreement to preserve access14provided to Mercer Island by the Island Crest Way on-ramp, and thus15grandfather in the current use of the on-ramp for both high occupancy16vehicles as well as vehicles seeking to access the general purpose17lanes of Interstate 90. The department must consider all reasonable18access solutions, including allowing all vehicles to use the Island19Crest Way on-ramp to access the new high occupancy vehicle lane with20a reasonable and safe distance provided for single-occupancy vehicles21to merge into the general purpose lanes.22

(b) A final access solution for Mercer Island must consider the23following criteria: Safety; operational effects on all users,24including maintaining historic access to Interstate 90 provided from25Mercer Island by Island Crest Way; enforcement requirements; and26compliance with state and federal law.27

(c) The department may not restrict by occupancy the westbound28on-ramp from Island Crest Way until a final access solution that29meets the criteria in (b) of this subsection has been reached.30

(26) The legislature finds that there are sixteen companies35involved in wood preserving in the state that employ four hundred36workers and have an annual payroll of fifteen million dollars. Before37the department's switch to steel guardrails, ninety percent of the38twenty-five hundred mile guardrail system was constructed of39preserved wood and one hundred ten thousand wood guardrail posts were40Code Rev/AI:eab 176 S-4615.3/19 3rd draft

produced annually for state use. Moreover, the policy of using steel1posts requires the state to use imported steel. Given these findings,2where practicable, and until June 30, 2019, the department shall3include the design option to use wood guardrail posts, in addition to4steel posts, in new guardrail installations. The selection of posts5must be consistent with the agency design manual policy that existed6before December 2009.7

(27) For the SR 526 Corridor Improvements project (N52600R), the8department shall look holistically at the state route number 5269corridor from the state route number 526/Interstate 5 interchange at10the east end to the southwest Everett industrial area and Boeing's11west access road on the west end.
