Federal funds flow to local projects

Three dozen transportation projects in Snohomish County, including the new Mukilteo ferry terminal and the Poplar Way Extension Bridge in Lynnwood, were green-lighted by the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Executive Board on Oct. 30. The local projects represent more than $83 million in federal funding alone that flows through the regional council.

The projects are included in the 2015-18 Regional Transportation Improvement Program, which contains 253 projects worth $4.8 billion that are scheduled to happen around the region within the next three years.

Projects also include a pedestrian bridge from Grand Avenue Park to the waterfront, as part of a city of Everett storm water improvement program, among many others.

The Regional Transportation Improvement Program provides a list of current transportation projects in all four counties of the region (King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish). These projects are funded with federal, state and local funds, including nearly $700 million in recent federal grants awarded through the regional council.
