Marysville to obligate $139,500 in federal funds for intersection improvements design
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to sign a local agency federal-aid project prospectus with WSDOT to obligate $139,500 in federal preliminary engineering funds for citywide intersection improvements (six left-turn and one right-turn intersections, converting signals to flashing yellow arrows).
Project engineer Thad Zender briefed the council on a WSDOT Highway Safety Program grant for citywide intersection improvements. Zender said the grant award was "just under $500,000" and that the current authorization sought is for preliminary engineering only; WSDOT recommended authorizing $139,500 to cover the expected design phase costs. The project targets six left-turn signal intersections and one right-turn intersection for conversion to flashing yellow arrow operation to improve traffic flow.
Council member Norton moved to authorize the mayor to sign and execute the local agency agreement and local agency federal-aid project prospectus with WSDOT, obligating $139,500 in federal funding for preliminary engineering; the motion was seconded and adopted by the council.
