2007
The SR 276 Route Development Plan was completed in February 2007. The document was finalized following public input from the SR 276 Advisory Group, SR 276 Technical Advisory Committee, and the WSDOT Eastern Region Steering Committee. Thanks go out to all those that contributed to this RDP process.
Why is WSDOT
Performing an SR 276 Route Development Plan?
Route Development Plans (RDP’s) are planning studies on state highway facilities. These studies identify deficiencies and recommend improvement solutions to accommodate future transportation needs. The studies include analysis of operating conditions, environmental issues, population and land use changes, customer needs, as well as right-of-way and other issues affecting the future of a state highway and its neighbors.
Route Development Plans serve as a tool for discussion, utilized to facilitate integration of the needs of the Department of Transportation with the needs of cities, counties, traveling public, and other stakeholders in the development of transportation solutions. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is developing a Route Development Plan (RDP) for the SR 276 North Pullman Bypass due to growth and expansion adjacent to the SR 276 right of way corridor.
The primary goal of the RDP is to identify deficiencies and propose feasible solutions
The End Result
The goal of WSDOT planning is to create an integrated transportation system capable of supporting a vital economy while maintaining sensitivity to the surrounding environment and promoting a positive quality of life. We endeavor to accomplish this goal by integrating the needs of WSDOT with those of stakeholders.
Project Benefits
This project will address growing state and local transportation needs in the Pullman area in the vicinity of the SR 276 right of way corridor. It is intended to create a community consensus on the challenging problems and the best solutions for the SR 276 corridor now and over the next 20 years.
What is the project timeline?
The project started in January 2006 with the formation of the 276 RDP Steering Committee, the Technical Advisory Committee, and the first Advisory Group meeting. All results and feedback to date have been evaluated by the RDP team and conceptual solutions have been presented the stakeholders. The RDP is expected to be completed in Winter 2007.
Financial Information
This planning effort is being paid for by general WSDOT Planning funds. Funding for future improvements identified through this process will be sought at that time from the most appropriate sources.
