connection to SR 526 and to Mukilteo Boulevard(Fifth Street in Mukilteo), geological stability of the Japanese Gulch steep slopes, environmental impacts, impact to neighborhoods, and cost considerations. Until a thorough analysis of these and other related issues are completed,the designation of this corridor will remain in the Transportation Element only as a potential facility. Everett will work with the City of Mukilteo and other affected agencies to review this alignment as an important piece of the regional transportation network. The designation of this facility for further study shall in no way be construed as the City of Everett supporting the construction of the Paine Field Boulevard Extension. The designation of this facility for further study shall not commit the City of Everett to construction of the Paine Field Boulevard Extension, regardless of the findings and recommendations of such a study. Section 10. The City of Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan, as contained in Exhibit A of Ordinance#2021-94, Section entitled"Transportation Element," is hereby amended by the addition of the following policy text: Six Year TIP (Transportation Improvement Plan): The City annually approves a Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan, as required by the State of Washington, which identifies those transportation projects which will receive funding and/or be implemented within the following six years. This annual planning effort is based upon the priorities and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and is automatically incorporated into the Transportation Element each year, as an implementing functional plan.. Section 11. The City of Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan, as contained in Exhibit A of Ordinance#2021-94, Section entitled"Transportation Element, Regional Transit System, Multi-modal centers,"page T-30, which reads: Anchoring the regional transit system on the north will be Everett's primary multi-modal center,just east of the downtown area adjacent to the existing Burlington Northern tracks. this center will interface with commuter rail,AMTRAK, light rail, bus, auto, pedestrian and bicycle facilities. It will be linked to the downtown area with enhanced transit service. This facility is currently in an early phase of planning and design and will function initially with bus and park and ride service. Other multi-modal centers are anticipated as the regional light rail system is constructed. These centers will not interface with as many modes as the downtown center but will perform the critical function of connecting/ accessing the regional system with local systems. Some of these centers may be established prior to the extension of light rail to establish travel patterns and planned land use configurations. Opportunities exist in and near downtown Everett and along the existing rail corridor for providing facilities for different modes of transportation(including parking facilities)that would serve the larger region in general and the downtown in particular. is hereby amended to read: Anchoring the regional transit system on the north will be Everett's primary and highest priority multi-modal transportation center,just east of the downtown area adjacent to the existing Burlington Northern tracks. The area is known as the Smith Street site and was selected as the site for the development of the multi-modal transportation center by the Everett City Council in July, 1995. The Federal Transit Administration issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) in August, 1995 for the site. This was based on the combined SEPA EIS /NEPA EA prepared for the center's siting study. this center will interface with potential commuter rain,AMTRAK, potential light rail, intercity bus,
