Open Meeting City of Auburn City of Renton City of Federal Way King County Council (Alternate) City of Tukwila City of Covington City of Maple Valley Port of Seattle Port of Tacoma City of Black Diamond (Alternate) City of Des Moines SSCCC City of SeaTac (Alternate) City of Auburn (Alternate) City of Algona City of Kent WSDOT PSRC (Alternate) King County Executive (Alternate) SCATBd Chair Pete Lewis opened the meeting and due to a prior commitment, asked Vice Chair Marcie Palmer. Before leaving, Chair Lewis commented on SCATBd letter to Governor Inslee asking for a special session to address a transportation funding crisis and reiterated the need for a transportation funding package to support our regions local transportation and freight mobility needs. After introductions the Board approved the meeting summary for the August 20, 2013 SCATBd meeting. II. Reports Councilmember Kruller reported on the PSRC Transportation Policy Board meeting and urged the Board members to review project list being used to support the balancing on the T2040 Financial Plan. Ms. Kruller noted that some of Tukwila's projects had out of date project information. Charlie Howard said that PSRC staff will be working with local jurisdictions to update project information in Transportation 2040. 5 III. WSDOT Briefing on Current Status on SR 167 /SR 509 Gateway Projects — John White, WSDOT Mr. White briefed the Board on the SR 509, I -5 and SR 167 Puget Sound Gateway Project, he said the projects will relieve traffic congestion and improve freight mobility by completing the long - planned SR 167 and SR 509 corridor connections to I -5. He noted that the two projects is proposed to be built in phases will be tolled, and said variable tolling will help manage traffic volumes on the new facility. A phased approach will allow the state to build a smaller foot print of the project initially and then can build -out the project in later phases. He said the first phases will accommodate both freight and commuter traffic. Mr. White described the configurations of the SR 509 and SR 167 project by phase. SR 509 will include one tolled lane in each direction between South 188th Street and 28th/24th Avenues south, a second lane in each direction between I -5 and 28th/24th Avenues south and a truck climbing lane in each direction as needed where steep grades exist. The project will complete interchange at South 188th Street and SR 509 and will build new southbound I -5 lane between SR 516 and South 272nd Street. I -5 express toll lanes are included in the project proposal to get better utilization of general purpose freeway lanes to allow SOV to pay a toll to use the HOV lane. The SR 167 phase 1 project will build one tolled lane in each direction between SR 161 (Meridian Street) and Valley Avenue and build a second lane in each direction between Valley Avenue and 54th Avenue East, Replace Porter Way overpass, complete the interchange at SR 161, and build new interchange at SR 167 at I -5. The ultimate vision for the two corridors includes two travel lanes in each direction. The phase 1 project cost for the two projects is about $1.72 billion, and the build -out cost for the two projects is about $1.6 - $1.78 billion. Mr. White said that if funding was provided for phase 1 of the I -5 express toll lands, the SR 509 and 167 projects in 2014, all three facilities could be open to traffic by 2021. Mr. White said that WSDOT will continue to do outreach to stakeholders, state and local elected officials on the Gateway projects. IV. Senate Majority Coalition Caucus Legislative Reform /Legislative Listening Forum Discussion The Board began the discussion with by noting that Senators and Representatives need to be made aware on the fiscal impacts of delaying large state projects. The longer a project is delayed; inflation will drive up the costs of these projects. The legislators should also be informed about the time delay between the approval of funding for a project and the actual ground - breaking of a project. If funding for the Gateway projects were approved in a special session, construction would begin in late 2017 /early 2018. Board members also discussed the need to bring Federal project mandates into the reform conversation; some of the project delays were due to lengthy federal requirements. 6 Board members were also optimistic that a special session will be called to pass a transportation funding package. Board members said it would be easier to pass a transportation package in a special session rather than in a regular session. Board members were encouraged to sign -up with the Keep Washington rolling coalition that is supporting the passage of a transportation funding package in a special session. The message that this group wants to convey to the rest of the state is how interconnected our transportation system is and traffic congestion in the Puget Sound area impacts commerce throughout the State.
