I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Residential Street Improvements/Walk & Roll Program
Staff is seeking Council approval to approve a contract with Perteet Engineering in the amount of
$185,957.00 for engineering services for the Residential Street Prioritization Study and Walk & Roll
Plan Update. Under this contract Perteet will update formulas previously used by the City to identify
and prioritize residential streets improvements.The new methodology will then be used to create an
updated prioritization tool that will integrate with the Residential Streets project and the Walk & Roll
Program. Funding for this contract will be shared between the two programs.
Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. Staff agreed to modify the information memo to make
clear that residential street improvements under current urban design standards do include sidewalk
construction. Councilmember Ekberg suggested that the "Justification" field on the CIP page for
Residential Street Improvements be updated to remove the program orientation to streets requiring
quick design and construction. Staff agreed to make this change. In response to questions about
integration between the two programs, staff suggested that the formula could be revised to give
greater value to a street that is on a walk & roll route. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
OCTOBER 5, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
III. SCATBd
Councilmember Hougardy made note of the Advanced Transportation Technologies Conference to be
held on October 9 in Mercer Island. SCATBd is a cosponsor of the conference along with the Eastside
Transportation Partnership and Seashore Transportation Forum.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS
Chair Duffie requested an estimate on the cost of painting crosswalks such as those done by the City of
Seattle recently. Staff reported that information found online revealed a cost of $6,000 for each
crosswalk. Councilmember Ekberg noted that he has recently observed new painted zigzag markings
on area crosswalks as a method to alert drivers of the need for caution.
