As we do most months, SRTC is proposing to amend the 2016-2019 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by adding two
new projects.
new projects.
The TIP is a
document that identifies transportation projects programmed to be undertaken or constructed
during the upcoming four years. It includes project names and descriptions, the
jurisdiction sponsoring them, funding attached to each project, and where the
funding came from (local, state or federal funds).

The TIP is updated regularly
throughout the year as timelines, funding sources and plans change at SRTC’s member jurisdictions.
The amendment currently under consideration would
add the following projects:
·
Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation- A Spokane Valley project that would
construct a bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks at Barker Road and SR 290.

Well since I use SR 290 regularly, anything to help the traffic at Barker road is very much appreciated. That is a miserable grade crossing for the trains now.
Thanks Charles, I hear that a lot. I use that intersection often too and often get stuck by trains.
