Edmonds Interurban Trail, Edmonds
Snohomish Country On-Call, Intersection Improvements
KPFF provided master planning and design for the federally funded 1.5mile segment of the Interurban Trail. Services included routing studies, design criteria, public involvement, property ownership research and acquisition support, utility coordination, landscape/streetscape design, environmental documentation and permitting, geotechnical studies, crosswalk design, site evaluation, drainage studies, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, contract plans and specifications preparation, cost estimating, and construction support. Project elements included pedestrian and bicycle trails, sidewalk improvements, street rechannelization to accommodate bike lanes, sewer line, utility coordination, stormwater infiltration and detention system design, and coordination with property owners to maintain access.
KPFF provided civil engineering services for plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for recommended improvements at three intersections per the regional traffic study. Improvements include addition of turn lanes, increasing the pocket lengths, signal design, drainage design, right-of-way plans, and utilities coordination. For the 180th Street SE/ Broadway intersection, alternatives were evaluated for a roundabout versus a signalized intersection. KPFF also assisted in identifying impacts to sensitive areas and worked with the County to find alternative design solutions to minimize these impacts. KPFF provided figures to support the JARPA and assisted in the permitting process. (not shown)

Phinney Avenue North, Fremont Avenue North, and North 50th Street Arterial Improvements, Seattle, WA KPFF provided project management for the design of the grinding and overlaying of 1.6 miles of asphalt arterial and removal and replacement of four blocks of concrete panel arterial. All intersections were improved with new ADA compliant curb ramps and curb bulbs to improve pedestrian usage of the corridor. Included traffic signal and interconnect plans for 16 intersections. Significant features include the installation of a fiber optic interconnect system, video detection, surveillance cameras, emergency preemption, and controller upgrades. Through the project’s significant public involvement process, the City added traffic studies and rechannelization of 50th Street to the scope. Design included restriping to change from two lanes each way to one lane each way with a continuous left turn lane. This design addressed the community neighborhood transportation plan. KPFF provided construction support services to the City.
KAMB E R R O A D & EDGEW OOD I NTERURBAN TRA IL
Kamber Road
Edgewood Interurban Trail, Pierce County
KPFF provided project management and civil and structural engineering for this transit center and parking garage. Services included a siting study to evaluate and compare four sites, focusing on accessibility to the key draw areas, the Metro and Sound Transit networks, existing and planned HOV improvements, cost of site acquisition and construction, environmental impacts, and ability to capitalize on existing transit facilities. KPFF provided both preliminary and final design for the final site selected. The project involved multi-agency coordination with Sound Transit, King County Metro, and the City of Issaquah.
KPFF provided civil and structural engineering services for preparation of a master plan for City of Edgewood’s 1.8-mile portion of the SeattleTacoma regional Interurban Trail. KPFF prepared construction documents for Phase I. The trail is centered in a 100-foot stretch of Puget Sound Energy right-of-way, following the line of the abandoned Seattle to Tacoma Interurban Electric Railway. KPFF analyzed two trail alignments to assess options for avoiding steep canyon slopes, limiting encroachment on creeks and wetlands, limiting widening cuts, and cutting through or skirting around the location of a collapsed tunnel. KPFF’s feasibility assessment included recommendations for the design and construction of potential stream crossings, a 90-foot-long bridge capable of carrying the load of maintenance vehicles, 1,200 feet of retaining walls, and a braced cut excavation through the location of the collapsed tunnel.

REDMOND PARK & RIDE
Rocky Reach Trail Extension, Douglas County
Sound to Olympics Trail, Bainbridge Island
KPFF provided civil engineering for the planning and design of a five-mile trail extension along the Columbia River. KPFF performed hydraulic and hydrologic analysis to determine appropriate culvert and drainage ditch sizes necessary to convey stormwater flows from upland sites past the trail site limits and into the Columbia River discharge points. Extensive coordination with Washington Division of Fish and Wildlife, Washington State Parks Department, Washington State Department of Transportation, and Douglas County was required to harmonize design engineering related to the hydraulic sizing of the drainage facilities and the requirements set forth in project Hydraulic Project Approval provisions. Work also included design of a three-sided box culvert and two small bridge crossings which were analyzed and checked for conveyance to pass 100-year stormwater flows.
KPFF provided drainage and roadway design to provide a separated shared-use pathway along the SR 305 corridor. The project incorporated non-motorized transportation, provided ADA accessibility improvements, improved drainage and safety features, added native plantings with visual and acoustic buffers, and promoted all modes of non-motorized transportation and connectivity to branch trails. It completes the “first mile” of the Sound to Olympics Trail and studies potential branch trail connections. Design also included a structural evaluation of crossing SR 305 to connect with future trail connections. (not shown)
MERC E R C O R R I D OR NON-M OTORI ZED I M PR OV E ME NTS
Mercer Corridor Non-Motorized Improvements, Seattle KPFF is prime consultant for reconstructing several urban streets, constructing a six-lane pre-stressed girder bridge, improving over 25 traffic and pedestrian signalized intersections, enhancing pedestrian and bike accessibility, installing sustainable infrastructure, and constructing electrical, drainage, communication, sewer, and ITS utilities. Other project elements include structural walls, a cycle track, and urban design features.

SILVE R D A LE WAY NW & CENTENNI AL TRAI L
Silverdale Way NW Preliminary Design Study and Phase One Roundabout, Kitsap County, WA KPFF led a predesign study for improvements to a two-lane principal arterial. Services included alternative analysis to improve mobility and safety through the corridor and community goals for non-motorized use. Design included a roundabout, realignment of three approaches, storm drainage improvements, utility coordination, frontage improvements, illumination, and public involvement. Work also included downstream analysis and mitigation of wetland impacts.
Centennial Trail, Snohomish County, WA KPFF provided civil and structural engineering for a multi-phased project for design services for a 10-mile trail corridor improvement along an old BNSF rail line between Lake Stevens and Armar Road Trailhead. The most recent work involved permitting for another eight-mile section between Arlington and the Skagit County line, and final design of the ‘gap’ between Armar Road Trailhead and south city limits of Arlington. When complete, the regional trail will extend nearly 30 miles. The trail accommodates a wide variety of uses and modes, including bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians. This project has involved numerous pedestrian bridge projects, including Pilchuck Creek Bridge, Haller Creek Trestle, and Cox Street Trestle.
