Auburn City Council on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, passed four ordinances and adopted five resolutions authorizing grants or interlocal agreements for projects across the city.
The most substantial grants include $1,900,000 from the Washington State Climate Commitment Account for the downtown “bike to transit” project on Tenth Street NE/NW, and $700,000 from the Washington State Department of Transportation and Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board for design work on the East Valley Highway corridor. Council also approved an ordinance establishing an Auburn municipal court that will begin operations Jan. 1, 2027.
Why it matters: the approvals fund multimodal street improvements intended to add buffered bike lanes and safety features in downtown Auburn and to advance design work for vehicle and nonmotorized improvements along East Valley Highway. The municipal court ordinance will change how the city delivers local court services beginning in 2027.
