M E M O R a N D U M Route 269 Profile City of Sammamish Service M E M O R A N D U M To: Jim Stanton, Microsoft From: Steve Crosley and Sonja Burseth, Nelson\Nygaard Date: June 14, 2017 Subject: Route 269 Service Change Memo This memo analyzes a potential service change to re-route the southern segment of King County Metro (KCM) Route 269, from its existing path to a new path between South Sammamish Park and Ride and Issaquah Transit Center. Route 269 Profile Route 269 has a weekday average of 1,123 daily riders (boardings+alightings), see Figure 5. The route serves six park and rides on the north and east side of Lake Sammamish: Overlake Park and Ride, Overlake Transit Center, Bear Creek Park and Ride, South Sammamish Park and Ride, Issaquah Highland Park and Ride, and Issaquah Transit Center, and the majority of ridership occurs during commute hours. Much of the average weekday ridership is centered on these park and rides (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The max load location for both inbound (to Issaquah) and outbound (to Overlake) is near Bear Creek Park and Ride in Redmond, at 180th Ave NE/NE 76th St with 162 average daily riders, and 180th Ave NE/NE 68th St with 181 average daily riders respectively (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). The most productive segment on the route is SE 56th St/East Lake Sammamish Pkwy to Issaquah Transit Center with 24.9 boardings per service hour. The two least productive segments on the route are S Sammamish Park and Ride to Issaquah Highlands (11.0 boardings per service hour), and Issaquah Highlands to SE 56th ST/East Lake Sammamish Pkwy (12.0 boardings per service hour), (see Figure 5). City of Sammamish Service Proposal The proposed service change is to move the southern segment of KCM Route 269, from South Sammamish Park and Ride to Issaquah Transit Center, from its current path using Issaquah-Pine lake Road SE and SE Black Nugget Road to 228th Ave SE and E Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE (see Figure 8). The change would affect the two least productive segments on the route. Along the proposed segment change, Route 269 averages 77 daily boardings (14%), out of a total of 560 daily boardings. Benefits The benefits to aligning Route 269 service onto 228th Ave SE and E Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE includes a more direct route to Issaquah Transit Center, in addition to travel time savings. Based on Google map driving direction estimates, the proposed routing is 17% (1 mile) shorter, and 30% Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc./ TMS | 1 Route 269 Analysis Microsoft (5 minutes) faster (see Figure 1). This estimate does not take into account any stop activity or dwell time, but is a comparison of length of route and posted speed limit, for each route path. Figure 1 Distance and Travel Time Comparison Current Routing Proposed Routing Proposed Savings Distance 6 miles 5 miles 17% shorter Travel Time 16 minutes 11 minutes 30% faster This would also add service to the 228th Ave SE corridor, which currently does not have bus service, and includes destinations such as the King County District Courthouse, Siemens/Microsoft Commercial Center, two senior living campuses, and a multi-family development. See places of interest on Figure 8. Impacts Eliminated Segment – General The main impact associated with this proposed service change would be the elimination of northbound AM peak and southbound PM peak service along the affected segment. KCM Routes 216/219 provide service along the same corridor as Route 269 between South Sammamish Park and Ride and Issaquah Transit Center; however they only operate in the southbound direction in the AM peak and northbound during the PM peak while Route 269 is bidirectional. Even if KCM Routes 216/219 had bidirectional service they would need to be extended to Overlake Transit Center to match the extent of service provided by Route 269. In the AM Peak (towards Overlake/Microsoft) 20 average weekday boardings would not have an alternate transit option. In the PM Peak (towards Issaquah Transit Center) 5 average weekday boardings would not have an alternate transit option. See Figure 2 for a table of average daily boardings affected by time period and direction. Between 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. there is no service operated by KCM 216/219 and ST 554 on the eliminated segment. Figure 2 Total Average Weekday Boardings Affected Outbound Inbound Alternative Alternative Period KCM/ST Transit (to Overlake/ KCM/ST Transit (to Issaquah) Option? Microsoft) Option? AM Peak 9 216, 219, 554 20 No Midday 3 No 6 No PM Peak 5 No 27 216, 219, 554 Evening 3 No 4 216, 219, 554 Total Boardings 20 n/a 57 n/a A potential mitigation for these riders would be the introduction of a demand-response service through Metro Alternative Services, which could provide first/last mile accessibility to/from Issaquah Highland Park and Ride and South Sammamish Park and Ride. From a commuter Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc./ TMS | 2 Route 269 Analysis Microsoft perspective, this solution would add another leg to their trip and increase travel time and is likely likely an attractive option for choice riders. Issaquah Highlands Park and Ride – General For travel to/from downtown Seattle or to/from Issaquah Highlands Park and Ride, the impacts would be less pronounced. Services connecting South Sammamish Park and Ride and Issaquah Highlands Park and Ride to Downtown Seattle include KCM Routes 216/219 and Sound Transit Route 554. ST Routes 555 and 556 operate bi-directional peak service between Issaquah Highlands and Issaquah Transit Center. KCM Route 200 offers local service between Issaquah Highlands Park and Ride, Issaquah Transit Center, and Downtown Issaquah, but outside of peak commute hours (service operates from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Eliminated Segment – Microsoft Employees An estimate of 223 Microsoft full-time employees (FTE) live within a ¼ mile buffer of the affected stops, see Figure 9. It is unclear how many of the estimated 223 FTEs use Route 269 to commute to Microsoft. Service to the Microsoft Main Campus is provided via the Snoqualmie Ridge- Issaquah Highlands Connector, which stops at Issaquah Highlands (see Figure 10). The FTE going to Redmond in the morning who is currently using Route 269 between South Sammamish Park and Ride and Issaquah Highlands, could board the Connector at Issaquah Highlands. However, this would likely increase travel time, and parking for Microsoft FTEs at Issaquah Highlands is currently very limited in capacity.

The name Issaquah is an anglicized version of the Salish word meaning the sound of birds. Salish tribes were the first people of this area. The town was originally incorporated under the name Gilman in honor of Daniel Hunt Gilman who was responsible for bringing the railroad to the area. In 1899, the town’s name was changed to Issaquah by the permission of the Washington State Legislature. In 1862, L.B. Andrews located outcroppings of coal along Issaquah Creek and the area soon became a center for mining, farming and timber harvesting. The town continued to grow through the latter part of the 19th century despite race riots aimed at Chinese farm workers and labor wars involving the Wobblies, members of the International Workers of the World, and local mining and timber interests. It was a rough beginning. After Issaquah’s incorporation in 1899, the first 70 ordinances passed dealt with liquor, wandering animals and unruly public officials. There were about twelve saloons lining the few streets of the town; however, during the early 20th century, Issaquah began attracting businesses and families and became a melting pot of nationalities, trades and interests.

  • City of Issaquah Plan Annex
    City of Issaquah Plan Annex Introduction The following is a summary of key information about the City of Jurisdiction Profile Issaquah and its history: Date of Incorporation—1892 Location and Description— The City of Issaquah is located at the South end of Lake Sammamish fifteen miles East of Seattle. Current Population—37,590 Occupying 11.38 square miles and bisected by Interstate 90; Issaquah covers portions of three mountains, two valleys and a plateau, and includes four major stream systems. The economy of Issaquah includes a mix of retail, office, commercial and some light industry with several major employers including Costco and Microsoft. The City of Issaquah is a full-service city with its own police department and owns and operates water, sewer and storm water utilities. Eastside Fire & Rescue provides fire and medical services. Brief History—Established in 1892 as a coal mining community and later a timber community, Issaquah has grown to a diverse full- service community covering 11.38 square miles and 37,590 people. Much of this growth has occurred since 1990, when the City began annexing several large areas including Grand Ridge (Issaquah Highlands), East Village (Talus), Providence Point and South Cove/Greenwood Point. Population Growth— Over the last three decades the City of Issaquah has been a relatively fast-growing community with increases in population ranging from 91% between 1980 and 1995, 18% between 1995 and 2000 and 171% between 2000 and 2010. Since 2010 Issaquah’s population has grown by 7,156 to 37,590. Most of this growth occurred in the urban villages of Issaquah Highlands and Talus.
