Transportation Benefit District Fee ($20) Et Tax (0.001%)
Any city or town may form a transportation benefit district (TBD) under chapter 3
raise revenues for transportation purposes.
The TBD vehicle license fee may be imposed in addition to the TBD sales tax if desired, acid
several jurisdictions have imposed both concurrently. It is worth noting that these twq revenue
options are imposed upon different sources - TBD vehicle license fees are paid solely by city
residents who own vehicles, while TBD sales taxes are paid by anyone who makes retail
purchases within the city. The amount of revenue a city can generate with each option will also
vary depending on the rates imposed, the local economy, and the number of registered vehicles
Quick Summary
Any cIty that has established a trans po rtatl on benefit district (TBD) may Impose a non -voted vehicle
license fee up to $50 ar a voted vehicle license fee up to $100_
• Revenues must be used for specified transportation projects_

Phasing Strategy
Phase 1: Bethel Road-Salmonberry Rd to Blueberry Rd
• Construct two roundabouts on Bethel Road at both Salmonberry Road
and Blueberry Road. While right of -way should be acquired to
accommodate the full build -out roundabout design for the 2040 horizon
year volumes, the design and number of circulating lanes required to
support opening day volumes will be determined during the design
phase. At Salmonberry Road, our analysis identified a single -lane
roundabout as an interim design. However, a two-lane roundabout with
two-lane approaches southbound and northbound on Bethel Road is
expected to be required to meet LOS standards in 2040. At Blueberry
Road, our analysis did not identify an interim design and a single -lane
roundabout is expected to meet LOS standards in 2040.
• Construct the Bethel Road segment between Salmonberry Road and
Blueberry to the Bethel Road - Typical Section A specifications including
sidewalk, bioretention swale, curb and gutter, bike lane, one travel
lane in each direction, and a raised center median.
• In order to adequately accommodate detour traffic during
construction, Ramsey Road between Sedgwick Road and Salmonberry
Road will need to be improved to meet City standards prior to
implementation of Phase 1, including resolving some existing right-of-
way issues. A preliminary cost for this improvement has been included
in the estimate for Phase 1.
