The costs and impacts of an interim terminus at Kent/Des Moines would vary depending on alignment and station location. SR 99 options would cost more but have higher ridership due to proximity to RapidRide bus connections. 1-5 options would cost less but have lower ridership. Options near SR 99 and 30th Avenue would be more supportive of TOD. 0.35 mile n Current Financial Plan © O Q 422MIllion � 5 0 Highline Water District 216th Station + 80Million Lowe's O •SR 99 ONLY •NOT INST2 Kent/Des Moines 'Gren7es i AT=ines 01 Kent/Des Moines Vim�Iew 30Ave East Station SIR 99 East Station 1-5 Station 1-5 At-Grade Station Trench Option PROJECT COST PROJECT COST PROJECT COST PROJECT COST 540 470 490 410 +1 20Million Million Million Million Million •WITH S 216TH WEST AND DAILY RIDERSHIP DAILY RIDERSHIP DAILY RIDERSHIP DAILY RIDERSHIP K/DM HC CAMPUS AI 8,50ORiders I1000Riders 5150ORiders 5150ORiders STATIONS ONLY Tres ND WITH LAND WITH LAND WITH LAND WITH 4 POTENTIAL 3 TODAcr POTENTIAL 3 1 TODAcr POTENTIAL 2 8 TOD POTENTIAL Acres Acres Acres Angle take Angle take Angle take Angle take Station Station Station Station S 216th St S 216th St Highline Highline Highline Highline The ST2 Plan assumed$409 College College College College million to$474 million(2014$)for S 240tr h st .h St s 2Qajt an extension to Kent/Des Moines. �� • As part of the ongoing realignment process and Board S 260 h St S 260 h St S 260th St S 260 h St direction to manage all projects to the low end of the range, the ss s ss s ss s ss s financial plan was adjusted to $422 million. 43 !a Results Federal Way Terminus Station Comparisons Angel Lake Station(under Angle Lake Angle Lake g Station Station S211thSt S 216th Station Area Highline Highline Kent/Des Moines Station Area 4 College' S240th St College■_ :�4�t�,t 99 S S 260th Station Area 211th St Star Lake Star Lake S 272nd Station Arent 4 _• S272nd St ■ P&R _• S 272nd St ■ P&R Redondo ■ Redondo ■ Heights Heights P&R P&R S 304th St S 304th St FWTC FWTC Federal Way Station Area 4 ; ON S 32uth St S 320th St S 320th■ S 320th■ P&R P&R Key Measurements Federal d. 99 Station PROJECT COST PROJECT COST © PROJECT COST (in 2014 dollars in Billions) • Billion • Billion O DAILY RIDERSHIP TRAVEL TIME DAILY RIDERSHIP 'TRAVEL TIME DAILY RIDERSHIP TRAVEL TIME (Riders) (Minutes) 26,50ORiders � 13Minutes 25,000Riders 2Minutes LAND WITH LAND WITH LAND WITH ".

In general, options using an SR 99 alignment would cost more than options using an I-5 alignment. However, station options closer to SR 99 would be more supportive of TOD. For either alignment, the costs and impacts would also vary depending on the specific location of the terminus station in Federal Way.

The following four criteria were used to develop ratings: access, land use, market support, and land availability. Station locations near SR 99 were found to generally be more supportive of TOD than locations along 1-5.
