The funds generated by the TBD may be used for any purpose allowed by law and to make transportation improvements that are consistent with existing State, regional, and local transportation plans and necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion levels pursuant to Chapter 36.73 RCW, as the same may be amended from time to time. The transportation improvements funded shall be made in an effort to protect the City’s long-term investments in its infrastructure, to reduce the risk of transportation facility failure, to improve safety, to continue optimal performance of the infrastructure over time, to avoid more expensive infrastructure replacements in the future, and to improve modal connectivity within the City of Covington. Additional transportation improvement projects of the TBD may be funded only after compliance with the provisions of Chapter 36.73 RCW. (Ord. 07-15 § 4; Ord. 02-13 § 3)
