Pasco council adopts revisions to 2025–2030 Transportation Improvement Program

At its May 5 meeting the City of Pasco Council adopted Resolution No. 4597 revising the 2025–2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to add two projects and split an existing project into roadway and intersection components.

Director Sarah presented the proposed revisions in a staff report and identified three changes: splitting the Burns Road Extension Missing Link into a roadway extension and intersection improvements; adding a Harris Road realignment to connect Harris to Sandifer Parkway and eliminate the Broadmoor connection; and adding Court Street and Road 100 intersection improvements, with the form of control (signal or roundabout) to be determined in design. The staff report said the projects are shown with planned grant funding and with transportation impact fee revenues.

A public hearing was opened and closed with no public testimony. Council member Milne moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and adopted by unanimous roll call vote.

Council members and staff said the split of the Burns Road project is intended to improve grant competitiveness for the intersection work while keeping the overall project budget unchanged. Director Sarah said the Harris Road realignment would reduce uncontrolled left turns and strengthen parallel street networks. The court street/Road 100 project was added to include the work in the TIP so it can be eligible for impact-fee funding as development occurs.

No detailed project-level schedules or final design decisions were adopted at the meeting; staff said remaining design decisions (for example a signal versus a roundabout) will be made during project design and that the next TIP cycle (2026–2031) will address additional pedestrian/bike gaps.
