ISSUE
A presentation of the combined Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center and Andover Park West
Roadway Widening Project prior to a property owner presentation on March 7, 2012.
BACKGROUND
In February 2006, IBI Group was retained by the City to begin the design of the Tukwila Urban
Center Transit Center on Andover Park W. The Transit Center's Concept Plan was completed in
December 2006. Due to the overlapping design needs of the Transit Center and the Andover
Park W widening project (98810404), the two projects were combined under the IBI Group
contract. The water main project (99840105) was also added to the IBI Group's design contract.
The 30% design for the projects was completed in 2011 and work progresses toward the
completion of 60% design.
DISCUSSION
Prior to completing the draft 60% plan set, the design team would like to get input from Council
and affected property owners on remaining design issues. A Stakeholder meeting is scheduled
for Wednesday, March 7, 2012 to present the status of the design and open up discussions with
property owners and businesses along Andover Park West. A similar presentation will be made
to the Transportation Committee on Monday, March 5, 2012 in advance of the Stakeholder
meeting. The design team will present information on the status of the design, identify design
issues needing direction or concurrence, and share the current schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
For information and discussion only. No formal action is required.
