I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Strander Boulevard Extension Phase III — Proposed 2016 Capital Improvement Program Page
Staff is seeking Council approval of a proposed CIP summary sheet for the Strander
Boulevard Extension Phase III Project. The page has been revised to reflect amounts for
various grant funding, such as the TIGER 2015 grant that was applied for in June. The
proposed CIP page also shows $2 million in City funds spent in 2016. This $2 million, to be
used for design, right -of -way, and wetland mitigation, will be required regardless of any future
funding and lays the groundwork to show the City's commitment to this project. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 27, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

Tukwila International Boulevard LED Pedestrian Light Update
In 2014, the Committee requested that at least one pedestrian light on TIB be replaced with an LED
bulb on a trial basis, to see if the safety benefit would be dramatic. Since that time, 7 -8 lights have
been replaced with LED bulbs and the Committee will be provided an opportunity to view one of the
sites this fall during a field trip to TIB.
