Langley adopts 6‑year Transportation Improvement Plan; Sandy Point prioritized
Summary
Council adopted the 2027–2032 Transportation Improvement Plan after staff explained timing shifts, project prioritization and a $15,000 placeholder to start preliminary engineering for Sandy Point project eligibility for state match funding.
The Langley City Council voted July 6 to adopt its six‑year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for 2027–2032, moving several projects (including Sandy Point Road) into later years and identifying preliminary engineering as a near‑term need to secure state matching funds.
Director Randy Perry explained that the plan updates schedule timing and that "the $15,000 is just to kick off the process of getting that project into a preliminary state to apply for first state funding," noting that full project costs and matches may differ as projects advance beyond planning stages. Council members pressed staff on pavement condition ratings (PCR), public‑safety priorities and whether subsurface utility work (waterline replacements) should be coordinated with paving projects.
Council identified Sandy Point Road as the highest public‑safety priority because the roadway has failing subsurface conditions and lacks shoulders; Perry said the full‑depth reclamation approach (grinding down 12 inches, stabilizing and re‑surfacing) was the method used on Sandy Point previously. The plan adopted by the council is a programming document and does not by itself appropriate construction funds. Council voted in the affirmative after a short public hearing during the meeting.
