toward developing alternatives. Several important fish passage barriers in this corridor that need to be <br />replaced. Schedule: Kick off summer/fall 2018, future baseline conditions December 2018-March <br />2019. Alternatives Development / Analysis (Feb -May 2018) <br />Stakeholder Committee: Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, Tukwila, Port of Seattle, King County <br />METRO, Puget Sound Regional Council, Sound Transit, Tribes, WSDOT Headquarters, WSDOT NW <br />Region. Which tribes? Muckelshoots and 4 other tribes are participating / in consultation. <br />Web Survey: 1500 web survey responses generated. Using communications tools to coordinate w <br />partners, including social media and direct e-mail distribution. The Web survey yielded that 94% <br />indicated use of private vehicles. Higher percentages of users from Burien zip codes. Most thought <br />that managing safety, congestion and improving travel reliability should be the focus of the study. <br />Most thought that the section of 518 at the 4054-5 interchange was problematic. Many different <br />projects being built surrounding the SR518 corridor. South airport access is a question we are <br />struggling with as it may affect performance. The airports has 66M annual passengers and we are <br />considering its relationship to 518. Traffic models show Int'l Blvd and other support roads grind to a <br />halt in August as passenger #'s grow and exceed projections. Regional traffic modeling suggests that <br />even with south airport access, 77% access the airport from the north and I-5 access point. There is <br />an opportunity to increase mode share here. <br />Questions: Clarify expected changes to 518 as a result of the 405 BRT project? Whatever BRT <br />project components may be moving forward will be documented and funded in our study. And, may be <br />built by 2030. Maybe an additional lane or widen shoulder to offer a dedicated bus lane in the <br />corridor that are still being worked out with Sound Transit. <br />Is there a count of actual airport traffic entering SR518? Yes. <br />5. 2019 SCATBd Legislative Agenda — CM Kathy Hougardy <br />Received additional changes from Auburn we are looking for approval today with amendments. Susan <br />will send it out today to all of you electronically. AWC meets on Feb 13 and 14 so we can distribute <br />this as well. Transportation priorities are important. On siting 2nd regional airport the Port of Seattle is <br />neutral. SCATBd members approved the final, 2019 Legislative Agenda. <br />6. 2019 SCATBd Leadership — Susan Honda sent an email to secure 2019 leadership. Linda Johnson has <br />agreed to be chair and Peter Kwon has agreed to be vice chair. CM Peloza nominated Austin Bell <br />from Burien as Vice Chair. <br />SCATBd members voted unanimously to have Linda Johnson as the 2019 SCATBd Chair. <br />Peter Kwon & Austin Bell provided overviews of their work as candidates for SCATBd Vice Chair. <br />Paper ballots were distributed and counted. Results: 8 votes for Austin Bell and 6 for Peter Kwon. <br />SCATBd members voted to approve CM Austin Bell as 2019 SCATBd Vice Chair. <br />7. Public Comment: Debbie Wagner: Commented on the SR518 constraints associated with speeders <br />and the dedicated lane to the airport. Problem area at intersection to I-5 and 405. Resources should be <br />getting funding from the Port of Seattle to offer roadway improvements. The public shouldn't pay for <br />a benefit to a single industry. <br />Meeting adjourned at 10:25 a.m. <br />60 <br />
