Transportation Committee August 11, 2003 Present: Richard Simpson, Chair; Dave Fenton, Pam Linder Jim Morrow, Brian Shelton, Pat Brodin, Gall Labanara, Cyndy Knighton, Sue Byers of KPG Engineering, and Dennis Robertson 1. South 144th Street Proiect Update The design °f this Pr°ject was put °n h°ld while Cascade View -- Community Park and street improvements were being completed. S 144th Project is now back on track with Phase I (TIB to Military) slated for construction in 2004. The design contract with KPG also includes a design repor~ for Phase II (TIB to 42"d). A State TIB grant was obtained for $1,016,000. Cyndy went over the entire street design and explained how S 144th St is a high use pedestrian corridor that must coexist with significant traffic volumes. Traffic calming will be included and there will be a transition with the Tukwila Int'l Blvd improvements. Both sides of the street will have 6 to l0 ft. sidewalks as well as 5-ft. bike lanes. There was discussion on the pedestrian flow at Larry's and True Value and the need for a crossing and some changes in the respective driveways. Metro has approved th~ in-lane bus stop and it will have the same theme as TIB. The trash pickup at the bus shelter is of concern and Jim said he would work with our staff or Rabanco for trash pickup. Dave asked about ROW and there are still strips of land that we will need to purchase to complete the project. Richard also spoke of looking into a flashing signal at the 37th Ave intersection due to a blind spot. A public meeting is tentatively scheduled for the week of September 15 and Dave Fenton offered the use of a meeting room at Samara. Information. 2. Transportation Improvement Board Grant Applications Jim explained that grant applications are due 8/29/03 and he wanted approval before moving forward. Four projects are slated for potential yet only three are recommended. TIB Phase Eli is the last gap to complete from S 132nd to S 138t~ and the Board suggested that we should leave the phases as is to insure greater success. No. 3 includes the traffic signals in the CBD and No. 4 is Phase II orS 144t~ St (TIB to 42"d) and both are suggested for submittal. No. 2 is S/C pkwy and there are many decisions and cost estimates that need to be finalized before submittal. Para would like a cost range of the three submittals to get an estimate of the City funds needed for the budget. Dave also mentioned connectivity in the CBD and Sim assured him that any improvements now include adding conduit. To COW with addRional cost estimates. 3. Grant Successes PWTF has tentatively assured us of the receipt of loans for the Cascade View Drainage Project and AllentowrdFoster Pt Phase II Sewer Project for a total of $10 million. The official list will be posted 8/19/03. Also received $3.3 million from WSDOT for TIB Phase III construction and Puget Sound Regional Council (PRSC) approved $615,800 for TIB Phase II construction.
