General Introduction
In reviewing all regional trail and non-motorized plans for King County, Federal Way, Des Moines, Auburn, and Kent, there is a large gap in the trail system providing connectivity between southwest King County to north and east King County as well as to Pierce County. With the extension of the light rail to South King County and Pierce County and anticipated growth within the designated urban growth centers, it is imperative to provide a multi-modal approach to accommodating travel to and through the area. The City of Federal Way was awarded funding through Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to conduct a planning-level study for a trail network in Southwest King County to help address the identified gaps and needs. The City is seeking a consultant to help develop this SW King County Trail Plan. The consultant selected for this project will accomplish the following tasks as outlined in the Scope of Work (SOW) below to develop this plan.
