Appendix a – Transportation Inventory APPENDIX A – TRANSPORTATION INVENTORY BACKGROUND Pierce County’s transportation system consists of State highways and freeways, arterials and local streets and roads, bike trails and bike lanes, bus transit systems, paratransit, commuter rail, and light rail. In addition, the County is served by a maritime port, several general aviation airports, and ferry services. Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) is a major military facility with its own transportation system. GMA requires an inventory of air, water, and ground transportation facilities and services, including transit alignments and general aviation airport facilities, to define existing capital facilities and travel levels as a basis for future planning. This inventory must include state- owned transportation facilities within the city or county's jurisdictional boundaries. A section of the Washington Administrative Code, WAC 365-196-430(2)(c), provides recommendations on specific inventories to include in Comprehensive Plans. Many of the WAC recommendations are used in this inventory. ROADWAY SYSTEMS The term roadway is used generically here to encompass all roads, streets, freeways, and highways under Federal, State, and local jurisdiction. GMA requires the County to inventory State and County owned facilities. Interstate and State freeways form the backbone of the Pierce County transportation system, including I-5, I-705, SR 16, SR 167, SR 410, SR 509, and SR 512. The freeways provide intrastate and interstate linkages to and from Pierce County. There are number State surface highways crossing County. The following Interstate and State highways that are wholly or partially within Pierce County: Interstates 5 and 705 State Highways 7, 16, 99, 123, 161, 162, 163, 165, 167, 302, 410, 507, 509, 512, 702, and 706 County-maintained roadways can be classified into three primary types – arterials, local access, and primitive. Roads are further categorized by whether they are in the urban or rural area. Table 12-T lists the number of centerline miles by category.

LOCAL AND REGIONAL TRANSIT AND RAIL Pierce County is served by three transit agencies: Pierce Transit, Intercity Transit, and Sound Transit. Pierce Transit is the agency that provides local transit service within the County, consisting of 38 bus routes, a seasonal trolley serving Gig Harbor, specialized routes to serve events such as the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, and SHUTTLE service that provides door- to-door transportation for those who meet criteria established by the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Pierce Transit also operates a system of transit centers and park and ride lots. Intercity Transit has five routes that connect from Thurston County to various locations in Pierce County. Sound Transit, the regional transit agency for the Central Puget Sound, operates eight express bus routes in Pierce County, the Tacoma Link light rail, and Sounder commuter rail service. Intercity Transit routes 603, 605, 609, 612, and 620 serve Pierce County. These are all express routes that serve Lakewood and Tacoma. All of the routes terminate in downtown Tacoma, except the 620, which ends at the Tacoma Mall. Route 620 is a weekend only route, while the other four routes are weekday only. Sound Transit operates the Sounder commuter train, which makes ten daily weekday trips northbound and southbound to and from downtown Tacoma. Six of these trains in each direction also serve the Lakewood and South Tacoma station. The Sounder also runs on weekends on select days to serve travelers attending Seattle Seahawks and Mariners games. The Tacoma Link light rail is operated seven days a week by Sound Transit. The termini are the Tacoma Dome station and the Theater District at South 9th and Commerce streets. The light rail frequencies are between 12 and 24 minutes, depending on the time of day and day of the week. Sound Transit operates the following eight express bus routes within Pierce County that primarily travel to various destinations in King County. 1. Route 574: Lakewood – SeaTac 2. Route 578: Puyallup – Seattle 3. Route 586: Tacoma – U. District 4. Route 590: Tacoma – Seattle Pierce County Comprehensive Plan | Transportation Element 12-97 5. Route 592: Olympia/Dupont – Seattle 6. Route 594: Lakewood – Seattle 7. Route 595: Gig Harbor – Seattle 8. Route 596: Bonney Lake – Sumner Pierce Transit’s service area is 292 square miles, with a population base of over 557,000 (2013). There are seven transit centers located at the Tacoma Dome, Lakewood Town Center, Parkland, 72nd Street at Portland Avenue, South Hill Mall, Tacoma Mall, and Tacoma Community College. The 38 bus routes operated by Pierce Transit are shown in Table 12-U.

Pierce Transit owns several park-and-ride lots and utilizes many others that are owned by separate entities. The list of Park and rides lots is shown in Table 12-V. Pierce Transit also operates the SHUTTLE service that provides door-to-door transportation for those who meet criteria established by the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, which make taking normal transit buses functionally impossible for the individual. SHUTTLE service only operates within ¾ of a mile of local bus routes, leaving much of the County without this service. There are a number of other entities that offer shuttle service outside of the Pierce Transit service area. These services included Beyond the Borders which serves Sumner, Spanaway, and South Hill and the Mustard Seed project, serving the Key Peninsula.

  • Jeff Dunham to Launch New International Tour, Passively Aggressive
    JEFF DUNHAM TO LAUNCH NEW INTERNATIONAL TOUR, PASSIVELY AGGRESSIVE Dunham’s 60-city 2017-2018 North American tour begins in El Paso on November 1st and includes stops in Las Vegas, Boston, Nashville, Los Angeles and Ontario Tickets on sale CITY, STATE – Record-breaking, global comedy superstar, Jeff Dunham, is taking his cast of characters on the road this fall through spring 2018 as America’s favorite ventriloquist tours North America on his 60-city Passively Aggressive tour. Tickets for his April 5, 2018 stop at The Broadmoor World Arena go on sale beginning Monday, November 6. Please stay tuned for more details regarding the on-sale. Dunham just released his latest standup special, Jeff Dunham: Relative Disaster, on Netflix this month. The special features Dunham along with his ill-behaved and slightly demented posse of characters for a gleeful skewering of family and politics. Dunham and his famous cohorts Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J, and Peanut also consider what a new member to their already dysfunctional family could mean, putting the ‘relative’ in Relative Disaster. Dunham, a Guinness World Record holder for “Most Tickets Sold for a Stand-up Comedy Tour,” has built an entertainment empire over years of non-stop touring and innovation. With over a million YouTube subscribers amassing over a billion views, he has carved out his own unique space in the comedy world leading to record-breaking viewership with his comedy specials on Comedy Central and NBC. His 2015 standup special, Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood, debuted on NBC Primetime in the fall and ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program on the Big 4 in every key measure.

  • Seattle Arena Information 1
    1 Seattle Arena Information Prepared by Sonicsgate 04.24.2016 Honorable Seattle Councilmembers and Citizens of Seattle: We’ve compiled the following information for your consideration before the upcoming Occidental Avenue Street Vacation Vote. The current issue before the Council is the Occidental Ave Street Vacation. The Council will have additional opportunities to evaluate the virtues of the full Arena MOU later in the process, and members will be able to debate specifics and propose any amendments before the final deal is approved. The MOU’s merits are extremely strong,1 2 but this first Council vote is a basic land use decision regarding the Occidental Ave Street Vacation.3 Multiple precedents exist for street vacation approval in Seattle, with more than 65 being granted in SoDo alone.4 5 The Mariners’ 1999 Occidental Avenue Street Vacation had fewer obstacles to approval.6 The Seattle Arena MOU provides for a significant increase in the use of private financing dollars used for public infrastructure benefits than the Safeco Field proposal.7 Per an MOU amendment, Chris Hansen would pay “fair market value” to the city for the 40,000 square feet being vacated on Occidental Avenue in addition to the array of public arena benefits.8 Safeco and CenturyLink Fields were built using public dollars from the Tourism Sales Tax increase.9 While the city benefits from having these two large sports stadia, and the taxes retired early after being paid off,10 their hundreds of millions in public funding was controversial in Seattle, and much of the bad PR directed at future arena proposals has come as a result of those past deals, not the true factual merits of the Seattle Arena MOU.11 Contrary to Safeco and CenturyLink Fields, the Seattle Arena proposal is not using any new tax dollars or revenue streams that could be used elsewhere.
