Brief Description: Modifying the alignment of state route number 290.

Sponsors: Senator Brown; by request of Transportation Improvement Board.

Senate Committee on Transportation
House Committee on Transportation

Background: Under current law The Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) is designated as the state agency assigned to review route jurisdiction transfer requests. After soliciting public testimony TIB forwards any jurisdictional transfer requests to the Legislature for review. TIB is recommending that a portion of SR 290 be transferred to the City of Spokane. If a route being considered for transfer is located wholly within one or more contiguous jurisdictions responsibility can remain at the local level, if local officials prefer.

Summary: The definition of SR 290 is amended. SR 290 would begin at SR 90 in Spokane. That portion of SR 290 currently beginning at SR 2 and ending at Hamilton Street would be transferred to the City of Spokane.
