11. Transportation Mitigation Requirements 11.1 Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees The City of Everett's mitigation policy as outlined in Ordinance 2425-99 requires a contribution to the City for a development's fair share 'cost of implementing future local transportation improvements. The contribution is based on the traffic mitigation fee at the time of the formal application. The current fee in the downtown area is $900 per PM peak hour trip for all projects that generate 10 or more daily trips. The campus expansion proposed for 2005 will generate about 120 net new PM peak hour trips as calculated in Section 8.2, assuming that the CTR goals are achieved. This will require a mitigation fee of$108,000. 11.2 Other Traffic Mitigations Traffic impacts on other City streets and intetsections are not significant and would not require any further mitigation. However, transportation related frontage improvements are required including: • expanded on-street parking on Wall S4reet and Oakes Avenue. • upgrading the traffic control signal at Pacific and Rockefeller for the main access to the underground parking garage • drive-through access to kiosks or win ows on Oakes Avenue • controlled access to the sallyport of th Justice Center on Pacific Avenue 11.3 Transit Facility Mitigations To reach the target CTR goals and reduce t e parking requirements for the County Campus, additional investments are needed in transit fa ilities to encourage more staff,jurors, visitors and customers to use this mode of travel. The folio ing improvements are required: • enhanced bus shelters with benches and appropriate lighting at bus stops on Wetmore and Pacific Avenues • direct and secure pedestrian routes cross and through the campus to bus stops preferably with some overhead cov r (e.g. awnings) • possible CCTV security cameras on access routes to and at bus stops 11.4 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Mitigations To reach the target CTR goals and reduce the parking requirements for the County Campus, additional investments are also needed in bicycle and pedestrian facilities to encourage more staff and customers to use these modes of travel. Bicycle parking has been addressed under on-site requirements, but the following improvements are required to the public right-of-way: • bicycle access ramps from public streets to secure covered bike lockers and/or lock-up rooms with showers and personal lockers • 12 wide sidewalks with bulb-outs for pedestrian crossings on Wall Street, Oakes Avenue and Wetmore Avenue. 11.5 Construction Period Mitigations Construction of the underground parking facility and the jail and administrative building additions will create some construction traffic impacts. The impacts are compounded by several other construction projects in the downtown at the same time and the loss of approximately 430 County parking spaces during the construction period At least 570 CRI Transportation Impact Analysis Page 43 June 2002
