Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes................................................................................................April 6, 2020 <br />D. Grant Application: Nelsen Side Channel <br />Staff is seeking Committee approval to apply to the Washington State Department of <br />Ecology's (DOE) Floodplains by Design grant program and other future grant opportunities <br />for the Nelsen Side Channel Project. This project will set the levee back to create a side <br />channel, restore an acre of riparian forest, provide flood storage, and provide public access <br />to the shore. The match requirement for this project would be waived. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />Unanimous approval. <br />E. Tukwila International Boulevard Rechannelization Alternatives Report <br />Staff updated the committee on the implementation of the Tukwila International <br />Boulevard Neighborhood Plan and the rechannelization alternatives report. This is also <br />being discussed in the Planning & Economic Development Committee and will be brought <br />to the Committee of the Whole at a future date. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />Discussion only. <br />F. Transportation for America's The Congestion Con <br />Councilmember Kruller spoke to the report, which takes the position that the strategy of <br />widening and building new highways has failed to solve the congestion problem and US <br />DOT's models are outdated. This may help future discussions on the TIB discussions, and <br />the presenter may be available to call into a future committee meeting to assist. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />Discussion only. <br />II. MISCELLANEOUS <br />Staff reported on the activities of the department during the COVID-19 emergency. <br />The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. <br />CDJ <br />Committee Chair Approval <br />Minutes by LH <br />
