The Richland City Council on June 2 unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑78, approving the city’s 2027–2032 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the six‑year project list required by state law.
Staff explained the TIP is used for state planning and grant obligations and described public outreach, Planning Commission review for comprehensive‑plan compliance and Parks & Recreation review for active‑transportation elements. The TIP lists a range of projects, including placeholders for Central Rich and active‑transportation improvements and new intersection projects on Snively Road and SR‑240 intended to support access to the planned Veterans Cemetery in the city’s northwest corner.
