KENT/JAMES ST. PARK AND RIDE
• Owned by King County Metro• Agreements in place as overflow parking for ShoWare Center
and King County Regional Justice Center
171 Average weekday transit boardings
719 Parking spaces
The Kent/James St. Park and Ride is located on the western edge of the North District of Kent’s Downtown. No buses directly serve the two parcels that make up the Park and Ride, but there is a bus stop pair just north of Kent/James St. that is served by five King County Metro routes. In addition, Kent/James St. is approximately ½ mile from Kent Station, which is served by Sounder commuter rail, two Sound Transit Express bus routes, and ten King County Metro routes.
Kent/James St. Park and Ride has 719 stalls with a utilization rate that hovers around 25%, meaning that only about 175 stalls are used on any given day.

TRANSIT ACCESS ASSESSMENT: DRAFT2 KENT/JAMES ST. PARK AND RIDE
A closer look at the area around the Kent/James St. Park and Ride shows some of the inherent challenges of the site itself. First, it’s adjacent to SR-167 and a utility right-of-way on the west and east, respectively, and small parcels to the north and south. This creates a sense of removal from the larger downtown context and may contribute to perceptions that the area isn’t safe and secure. In addition, Kent/James St. is just far enough away from Kent Station and other points of interests to potentially discourage spillover parking at Kent Station Garage.
While challenged as a public park and ride, the Kent/James St. Park and Ride does bring value to the King County Regional Justice Center and the ShoWare Center both of which have agreements to utilize Kent/James St. Park and Ride as overflow parking.

LAND USE, POPULATION, AND EMPLOYMENT The area southeast of the Kent/James St. Park and Ride is a PSRC-designated regional growth center and the area just north is a PSRC-designated manufacturing/industrial center. As a result, current land uses are a mix of commercial, industrial, institutional, and single- and multi-family residential. This composition continues through 2040 with more growth expected in employment than population (it should be noted that most residential areas are just beyond the ½ mile extent examined for this case study).
Current Population: 5,300Current Employment: 8,300
2040 Population: 6,100 (+15%)2040 Employment:12,800 (+54%)
Recent development in the vicinity of the Kent/James St. Park and Ride include two mixed-use developments with approximately 326 apartment units and 1,600 square feet of commercial space.

ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICSFigure 6 shows the roadway characteristics near the Kent/James St. Park and Ride. Kent/James St. sits just east of SR 167, which acts as a barrier between downtown Kent and points west. SR 516 and W James Street also have high traffic volumes and relatively faster speeds than other east-west streets in the vicinity of the Kent/James St. Park and Ride. Washington Avenue N is also a high volume street, but this is mostly due to it being the major north-south connection to the manufacturing/industrial center just to the north. Traffic speeds and volumes on the streets are lower to the east and south as one approaches the core of downtown Kent, which has a more classic grid-based street network.

TRANSIT ACCESS ASSESSMENT: DRAFT KENT/JAMES ST. PARK AND RIDE 5
The nonmotorized environment around Kent/James St. Park and Ride has some positive features and some negative features. Utilizing the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool developed by King County Metro and Sound Transit allows for a more precise analysis of the ease or difficulty of accessing Kent/James St. Park and Ride using nonmotorized modes.
NONMOTORIZEDCONNECTIVITY
Figure 7 shows a 15-minute walkshed from the Kent/James St. Park and Ride. The barrier presented by SR 167 is clear from this map, particularly to the north where the only available path is the Interurban Trail. And while points west do seem accessible, there are safety and security perceptions due to having to navigate the SR 167 underpasses. The walkshed map also indicates that Kent Station and parts of downtown Kent are walkable from the Kent/James St. Park and Ride.
Figure 8 shows a 15-minute bikeshed from the Kent/James St. Park and Ride. Many points north and south are within a 15-minute bike ride owing primarily to the proximity of the Interurban Trail. The limitations of east-west travel have largely to do with the fact that Kent/James St. Park and Ride is in a valley and that east-west travel is made difficult by the large hills on either side of the valley.
Figure 7: 15-Minute Walkshed
Figure 8: 15-Minute Bikeshed
TRANSIT ACCESS ASSESSMENT: DRAFT6 KENT/JAMES ST. PARK AND RIDE
Figure 9 shows the existing nonmotorized connectivity index using the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool. The areas with poor nonmotorized connectivity largely appear around high-volume, high-speed arterials where there are inadequate crossings for nonmotorized modes, particularly along Washington Avenue N/SR 181 and parts of SR 167. It should be noted that the large hills to the east and west of Kent/James St. Park and Ride will affect nonmotorized connectivity.
The relative lack of projects in the vicinity of Kent/James St. Park and Ride means that the future connectivity index shown in Figure 11 remains similar to current conditions. In addition, because much of the lower nonmotorized connectivity stems from poor crossings of high-volume, high-speed arterials and because there are very few new signals or crossing improvements, places with poor nonmotorized connectivity remain poor.
There are not many future projects as part of the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool in the vicinity of the Kent/James St. Park and Ride. One that does appear is the addition of a bike lane on W Meeker Street. This is part of a larger effort by the City of Kent to improve the nonmotorized experience on this street.

TRANSIT SERVICE
Figure 12 shows boardings at the bus stop pair just north of Kent/James St. Park and Ride. While more than half of the boardings took place in the AM peak, this amounts to only 79 total board-ings at a park and ride that has more than 700 stalls.
The Kent/James St. Park and Ride is served by five King County Metro routes. Metro routes 150, 166, and 180 are all-day routes that serve downtown Seattle, Highline College, and SeaTac, respectively. Metro routes 158 and 159 are peak routes serving downtown Seattle and collectively provide a 15 minute headway. All of these routes serve Kent Station as well. Prior to the construction of the Kent Station Garage, Kent/James St. Park and Ride was the primary location of peak period transit service in the City of Kent.
Figure 13: Transit Travelshed (Kent/James St.)
Figure 12: Daily Boardings by Route and Time of Day (Kent/James St.)
Transit service at Kent Station (Sounder commuter rail, two Sound Transit Express bus routes, and ten King County Metro routes) is of a much higher quality than that of Kent/James St. Park and Ride (five Metro routes). Figures 13 and 14 show how far riders can travel from Kent/James St. and Kent Station in the AM peak. Transit service at Kent Station gets people to more places and faster than the transit service at Kent/James St. Figure 14: Transit Travelshed

PARKINGCHARACTERISTICS
In addition to fixed route transit users, 4 vanpool groups use Kent/James St. as a meet-up location while 14 vanpool groups use Kent Station, though it’s uncertain how many people park at either location to meet up with their vanpool groups.
Sound Transit conducted a license plate survey of Kent Station users in February 2015, which is depicted in Figure 16. It demonstrates that many Kent Station users are arriving from points east, with 30% of vehicles coming from more than 5 miles away. Unfortunately, a similar survey is not available for Kent/James St. Park and Ride.
Figure 15 shows the total capacity and utilization rate of Kent/James St. Park and Ride as well as Kent Station. It is clear from this chart that there is much greater parking demand at Kent Station than at Kent/James St.

connections • Major destinations in proximity to Kent/James St. Park and
Ride
• Heavy transit parking demand at Kent Station• Excess capacity at Kent/James St. Park and Ride• Additional 450 stalls and pedestrian bridge at Kent Station as
part of Sound Transit 2• Safety and security perceptions may exist at Kent/James St.
