Project goals are to stay in budget, maximize ridership, improve mobility and provide access for multiple modes <br />and users. Trying to build a network so working very closely with KC Metro and communities in which we are <br />operating to suite local needs. I-405 master plan looked at a variety of technologies and leaned toward BRT. <br />Examples in the north end made are ramps in Bellevue, other investments over time. Includes SR 518. From <br />.ǒƩźĻƓ Ʒƚ .ĻƌƌĻǝǒĻ Ʒƚ \[ǤƓǞƚƚķ Α ЌА ƒźƌĻ ĭƚƩƩźķƚƩ͵ ЊЊ BRT stations over 7 cities, 3 parking facilities, 1,300 new <br />stalls, 1 new transit center, estimated 15-18k riders by 2040. Connections to light rail at Lynwood, Bellevue and <br />Tukwila. <br /> <br />Speed and reliability show improved BRT travel times. From South Renton to Burien in 2016 shows 31 minutes <br />in travel time, after BRT 21 minutes (improving rte 560) in travel time. BRT attempts to replicate light rail with <br />infrequent stops, dedicated lanes, raised platforms, adequate shelter, off-board fare collection and real-time <br />information. Dedicated lanes and help from WSDOT, on I-405, make this possible. Between Renton and Burien <br />we will have to weave in the highway from Rainier Avenue exit over to the HOV lane in the center and then out <br />Ʒƚ ƷŷĻ ǒƉǞźƌğ LƓƷ͸ƌ .ƌǝķ͵ .ǒƭ ƚƓƌǤ ƌğƓĻƭ ƦƌğƓƓĻķ ŅƚƩ {w ЎЊБ ĬǒƷ th{ ğƓķ ‘{5h Ʒƚ ƌƚƚƉ ğƷ {w ЎЊБ ĬĻƷǞĻĻƓ <br />ǒƉǞźƌğ LƓƷ͸ƌ .ƌǝķ ğƓķ LΏЎ͵ {ƚǒƓķ ƩğƓƭźƷ źƭ ƩĻΏǞƚƩƉźƓŭ ƷŷĻ ST3 project to make sure it is the right project to build <br />and for efficiencies, environmental work will launch after the scoping is complete. <br />Questions: What kinds of buses will be used? Right now, diesel hybrids but we are looking at electronic buses. <br />Currently there are no 60 foot buses on the market that have gone thru federal testing successfully however the <br />technology is changing rapidly. <br />There is nothing for southeast King County. Has anyone conducted a return on investment study for cost to <br />each rider for the entire system? We will be tracking costs and ridership closely. <br />What about parking? Sound Transit (and Metro) are looking at managing parking, perhaps charging a nominal <br />rate. <br />YźƓŭ /ƚǒƓƷǤ źƭ ğƌƌ ğĬƚǒƷ ĻƨǒźƷǤ ŅƚƩ ĻǝĻƩǤƷŷźƓŭ͵ ‘ŷƚ Ǟƚǒƌķ {/!.ķ ǞƩźƷĻ ğ ƌĻƷƷĻƩ Ʒƚ ŭĻƷ ƭƚƒĻƚƓĻ͸ƭ ğƷƷĻƓƷźƚƓ ğƭ <br />to further expansion south?

Noise complaints are increasing rapidly, nightime cargo flights are flying at night. Poorest and <br />predominately minority communities are most injured and least able to benefit. Mitigation is not being <br />discussed. Reject the SAMP. Windows installed to mitigate noise have not worked and have been pulled. Noise <br />complaints have tripled. <br />JC Allen, Des Moines: South end gets screwed when it comes to planning. I was an engineer when the SAMP <br />was built and then we talked about impacts. The Port should be factoring in pollution generated from its <br />airplanes into public information and its environmental process. <br />Meeting adjourned 10:53 a.m. <br />28 <br />
