Sound Transit's conceptual plan includes one stop at Tukwila International Blvd. despite Tukwila's input to include a stop to serve the Southcenter area. Sound Transit is still in the early stages of planning the route and will be working to identify key issues as they work during 2018 to identify a preferred alternative for the route. • SCATBd Meeting: Community Development and Public Works staff attended the monthly SCATBd meeting on February 20. Public Works staff from Tukwila, Renton, and Kent made presentations on projects that will be submitted to the Puget Sound Regional Council in the competition for Federal Highway Association (FHWA) funds.
