1. Metro Draft Route Changes Jack Latteman from Metro explained that Metro is investigating the
possibility of changing two routes that go through Tukwila. This is being done in response to requests
from employees in Tukwila who want to take the bus without going to downtown Seattle first. The
portion of Route 39 that brought riders to Tukwila from Rainier Beach midday had very low ridership,
and will be dropped and replaced by Route 126 that would (during peak hours) go the local route from
Rainier Beach to East Marginal Way, 42 Ave S and eventually Strander Blvd and the Sounder
Station. There could be a new shelter at S. 140/42" Over time, bus service to the Sounder Station
will increase as ridership and trips per day on rail increase. Pam said it would be good to notify nearby
citizens of the new service. The Hazelnut could be useful there, as the service is slated to change in
September. Jack said any formal comments the City had could be given to him in March, though the
formal comment period is over. Information.
2. ACC Interlocal Agreement The ACC Technical Committee of City Managers, Administrators
and others has worked on crafting a new Interlocal, which the Executive Committee of ACC approved.
Some of the changes in the new interlocal are that it increases avenues of communication; adds more
non elected city manager or chief administrative officers to the Executive Committee (though each city
still only has one vote); and replaces the Technical Committee with an Administrative Committee that
will provide recommendations to the Executive Committee. Language was added to require ACC to
develop a mitigation proposal that would meet the needs of the parties and encourages meeting with
the Port to seek to minimize impact upon the ACC communities. Pam approved the increased channels
of information. The Committee recommended some editing improvements, and recommended the
Agreement to that evening's meeting. Recommend Agreement to 2/23 COW.
3. Southcenter Parkway Extension Robin explained they had some federal and TIB funding for
designing Southcenter Parkway south of S. 180` They asked for proposals and received 16 proposals.
They rated the nine best of those, and chose David Evans and Associates highest. Sue Carlson said she
wanted to be in on the contract negotiations for him. Segale proposes to move the road south of S.
180 toward the hillside, thereby saving more land for development. The design proposal is from S.
180` to the City limits and Segale will work on eventually extending that to S. 200 According to
Sue, Segale will donate the ROW to the City for the road improvements. Negotiate contract: bring
selection and contract to both Transnortation and COW March 8
4. King County Trans Valley ITS Interlocal The County is putting in Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) components on S. 180` eastward to Renton. Though Tukwila does not contribute money
to this project, we will install some previously planned fiber optic cable, and extend it into Renton. The
Green River Interconnect project will put in fiber optic cable between Southcenter Parkway and
Oaksdale, on S. Carr between 106` -SR 515 and on 515 between Carr and Benson Highway. The
County will buy new controllers that will fit with our own system which we can use. Recommend
Interlocal to COW and Regular Meeting.
