Funds must be used to advance the emergent, initial development of these projects for the purpose of expediting delivery of the associated major investments when funding for such investments becomes available. Funding may be reallocated between projects to maximize the accomplishment of design and preliminary engineering work and rights-of-way acquisition, provided that all projects are addressed. It is the intent of the legislature that, while seeking to maximize the outcomes in this section, the department shall provide for continuity of both the state and consulting engineer workforce, while strategically utilizing private sector involvement to ensure consistency with the department's business plan for staffing in the highway construction program in the current fiscal biennium.
     (16) If a planned roundabout in the vicinity of state route number 526 and 84th Street SW would divert commercial traffic onto neighborhood streets, the department may not proceed with improvements at state route number 526 and 84th Street SW until the traffic impacts in the vicinity of state route number 526 and 40th Avenue West are addressed.
     (17) The legislature finds that there are sixteen companies involved in wood preserving in the state that employ four hundred workers and have an annual payroll of fifteen million dollars. Prior to the department's switch to steel guardrails, ninety percent of the twenty-five hundred mile guardrail system was constructed of preserved wood and one hundred ten thousand wood guardrail posts were produced annually for state use. Moreover, the policy of using steel posts requires the state to use imported steel. Given these findings, where practicable, and until June 30, 2015, the department shall include the design option to use wood guardrail posts, in addition to steel posts, in new guardrail installations. The selection of posts must be consistent with the agency design manual policy that existed before December 2009.
     (18) The legislature finds that "right-sizing" is a lean, metric-based approach to determining project investments. This concept entails compromise between project cost and design, incorporating local community needs, desired outcomes, and available funding. Furthermore, the legislature finds that the concepts and principles the department has utilized in the safety analyst program have been effective tools to prioritize projects and reduce project costs. Therefore, the department shall establish a pilot project on the SR 3/Belfair Bypass - New Alignment (300344C) to begin implementing the concept of "right-sizing" in the highway construction program.
     (19) For urban corridors that are all or partially within a metropolitan planning organization boundary, for which the department has not initiated environmental review, and that require an environmental impact statement, at least one alternative must be consistent with the goals set out in RCW 47.01.440.
     (20) The department shall itemize all future requests for the construction of buildings on a project list and submit them through the transportation executive information system as part of the department's 2014 budget submittal. It is the intent of the legislature that new facility construction must be transparent and not appropriated within larger highway construction projects.
     (21) $28,963,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation is provided solely for improvement program support activities (095901X). $18,000,000 of this amount must be held in unallotted status until the office of financial management certifies that the department's 2014 supplemental budget request conforms to the terms of subsection (20) of this section.

The study must include a cost estimate and be submitted to the transportation committees of the legislature by January 2015.
     (e) In the development of projects within the US 395/North Spokane corridor, the associated planning staff shall review the department's project design plans in any draft environmental impact statement for conformance with the following legislative goals regarding the final design for additional projects within the corridor:
     (i) Minimization of the project impact on surrounding neighborhoods, including minimizing any increases in additional traffic volumes through such neighborhoods; and
     (ii) Incorporation of the recommendations of a health impact assessment to calculate the project's impact on air quality, carbon emissions, and other public health issues, conducted by the Spokane regional transportation council and the Spokane county public health department.
     (24)(a) $26,000,000 of the connecting Washington account--state appropriation is provided solely for storm water retrofits, including enhanced treatment retrofits, to build on and expand the department's storm water program. In completing storm water retrofits, the department shall use low-impact development (LID) techniques when feasible. Advance treatment and LID storm water retrofits shall be integrated with improvement project life-cycle, ranking, and construction, where such retrofits geographically coincide with planned improvement projects. To accomplish this directive, the department must develop LID retrofit project lists and incorporate project lists into relevant capital plans. The department must consult with the Washington state department of ecology to certify that the retrofit projects have high water quality and environmental benefits.
     (b) The department, in consultation with the Washington state department of ecology, shall develop comprehensive criteria to coordinate, rate, and rank improvement projects and storm water retrofit projects. The system must be designed to provide a funding preference to LID retrofit projects that reduce water pollution from existing transportation infrastructure.
     (c) The department must incorporate statewide storm water retrofit project lists into ten-year capital project plans and create a biennial project list for the design and construction of LID storm water retrofit projects. The department will coordinate the design and construction of improvement and storm water retrofit projects to ensure efficient and effective use of funds. By December 31, 2013, and biennially thereafter, the department shall provide to the legislature a storm water retrofit project list to maintain and enhance the capacity of the department's storm water program and construct LID retrofits. The department must also provide a report regarding how much funding is allocated to improvement and storm water retrofit projects, identifying the water quality and environmental benefits created from the storm water projects, and summarizing how improvement and storm water retrofit projects are coordinated and integrated.
