The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a rolling 6-year plan updated annually with a focus on maintaining the existing transportation network and improving it in a thoughtful, safe manner working within financial constraints. The TIP covers City roadway, pedestrian, bicycle and other transportation projects. Review the 2026-2031 TIP here.

Note: The City has an existing long-term plan that identifies various future upgrades in pedestrian and bicycle facilities, many of which are adopted into the TIP.

Each year, public comment and staff input are gathered to inform new proposed additions to the TIP; then the City Council makes the final decision on each project's priority. Projects would be implemented between 2027-2032. City staff will provide responses to all public comments received in Exhibit 1 of the April 7 and May 5 City Council Meeting agenda bills.

You can learn more about the TIP on this page and then post your comment or add a note to the interactive map through April 21. Some public comments may fall outside the scope of the TIP - please check the list below to see who else you might need to contact:

Comment on SE. 68th St/ICW improvements.
I live on SE 68th and travel through the SE 68/ICW intersection daily as a driver and as a pedestrian. There is substantial pedestrian activity at the intersection from the trails; there are also frequent/ongoing car/ped conflicts and close calls. The proposed pedestrian improvements appear to be focused on ADA compliant crossings ramps. That’s appropriate but I feel strongly that some additional pedestrian safety improvements — such as enhanced crosswalks, flags/activated ped light — are also needed now. The ped crossing at SE 61st/ICW was upgraded last year and it has much less ped activity compared to SE 68th. Please consider adding additional safety improvements in this planning cycle. They are long overdue.

Hello. I am a long-time resident, pedestrian, and bicyclist. In the past year, I have noticed increasing rudeness from bicyclists and lack of sharing the road with vehicles. I would appreciate clearer rules on road-sharing between bicyclists and drivers, and an encouragement for both parties to share the road. It is becoming increasingly stressful to drive here, and I have been unfairly cursed and yelled at by bikers several times. I love our island and would like to keep it civil. In my opinion, drivers have first priority on roads. As a biker, I bike on designated trails. Thank you.
