Continued preparation of cut sheets I plans for Design - Build RFP documents. Started strength testing of the existing shoulders of 1-405 and SR167 to determine suitability for carrying traffic loads. Carried out annual CEVP analysis to determine estimated construction costs. Met with Utility owners and agencies in January 2005 Review of as-built utility drawings and identification of potential conflicts is ongoing. Environmental documentation process started in January 2005 Held Public and Agency Scoping meetings in late January 2005 and prepared draft responses to comments. Continued field surveying delineated wetlands and existing utilities Continued coordination with Environmental Banking Oversight Committee (BOC) and the City of Renton to establish credits for Springbrook wetland mitigation site Finalized Interdisciplinary Design Team (IDT) Site Visits and prepared Report summarizing results. Continued coordination with the Cities of Tukwila and Renton, local neighborhoods and businesses to resolve issues and concerns early in the Nickel project development. Design Construction Impacts The West Valley Highway to Maple Valley Highway (Nickel) project is essentially a widening project for northbound and southbound 1-405 legs approaching the SR 167 Interchange. Retaining walls will be utilized wherever necessary to minimize impacts to adjacent properties, wetlands and drainage facilities. The Benson Structure Overcrossing, including the center pier located in the 1-405 median, will be replaced to accommodate the proposed widening of 1-405 and the final alignment of 1-405 anticipated for the Master Plan. The project also extends the southbound SR 167 HOV lane north to begin under the 1-405 Structure. Vllidening and restriping of southbound SR 167 will also be required.

Interurban Ave Conceptual Design Analvsis Robin saId Interurban Ave from S 143rd to Fort Dent 'Way was the last piece of Interurban to be finished. KPG's desIgn that included some boulevard elements was so interestmg that staff asked KPG to extend it further north beyond S. 143rd north almost to 1-5 Joe G said the large frontages on Interurban lent themselves to a boulevard design. Speedmg is also an issue on Interurban, and trees planted in the median as well as on the edges of the street may slow traffic Nandez talked about the plan for breaks in the medians for left turns, and how u-turns could be done at some left turn pockets. Jim M said the new design follows what the Council has approved for recent streets like TIB and Southcenter Parkway and Boulevard. Jim H asked what trees are in the 12' median landscaped area, and whether an Identifiable theme with sImilar trees was bemg mstalled on other improved streets in the City. Robin said they have learned not to plant trees that are round in shapes, as trucks will knock offleaves and branches. Instead they are looking at columnar shapes, but they wIll use similar trees as in other projects. Pam C said the design looked great, and was a welcome improvement. Robin said by adding a median the project would receive a higher score at TIB ratmgs There have also been some fatalities on Interurban, so safety improvements will help. The Committee asked agam that small signs be put warnmg dnvers that a certain mtersectiOn is commg up so driving decisions don't have to be last minute. Jim also noted that because S. 160th is a u-turn route for southbound dnvers in TIB, vehicles coming from S. 160th to TIB often need to wait for the left turns to finish before they can turn onto the highway. The committee wholeheartedly supported the design. Recommend design to June 27 CO\V, and authorize move toward final design.
