PRESENTATIONS II.BUSINESS AGENDA th A. South 140 Street Intersection Improvements The Committee requested further discussion on how and when to construct pedestrian safety improvements near the Abu Bakr Islamic Center on Tukwila International Boulevard. Staff has a pending grant application with the Transportation Improvement Board to fund a new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon near the Center, and results will be known in November 2018. In the meantime, staff met with representatives of the Center to further understand the needs and patterns of attendees, as well as with an engineer from KPG to discuss the potential of interim improvements. A concept was identified that would taper traffic lanes, paint crosswalk and shark teeth marks in each direction, install associated signs, and prune and/or remove vegetation. Staff proposes contracting with KPG to fully design this concept and prepare bid documents. Design and construction could take three to five months to complete, weather dependent. Future installation of the RRFB can occur at the same location when funding is identified. Councilmember Quinn spoke to the importance of stakeholder engagement to make decisions like this. The Islamic Center has been engaging the City for a long time to obtain safety improvements and this should be a lesson learned. He asked if the temporary flags were still being considered. The Center has agreed to provide flaggers and educate attendees on the crosswalk. Councilmember Idan thanked staff for the efforts and expressed concern that if the grant is unsuccessful nothing will be done. Staff estimates the full cost of the RRFB to be $190K including the design, which is over the amount that can be constructed by City staff. The Committee recommended that staff proceed with the design contract and pursue the interim solutions previously discussed. They unanimously supported seeing action on this as soon as possible. This recommendation will be shared with the Committee of the Whole. Staff will return with information about the grant award and the interim solutions identified in the 4L;HMJILN;NCIH Ǳ )H@L;MNLO=NOL? #IGGCNN?? -CHON?MȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚ/=NI<?L ǺțǴǲǳǺ design process.

Grant Acceptance: WSDOT Commute Trip Innovation Staff is seeking Council approval to accept an additional $43,000 from WSDOT to continue implementation of a non-traditional Commute Trip Reduction program to reduce regional congestion and improve air quality in Tukwila and South King County. The implementation includes a new ridesharing/trip logging platform and a monthly rewards program to engage more employees in commute challenges. There is no impact to the general fund. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 15, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. E. 2019 Annual Overlay and Repair Project As previously requested by the Committee, staff provided an overview on the selection process used to develop the Annual Overlay and Repair project list. Each year road segments are identified for possible inclusion, using a pavement management system to rate the condition of the pavement. These scores are then factored along with preliminary cost and other factors to develop a long list which is then used to develop more refined cost estimates. When the design work is at 50% the final list is created, and locations not selected generally make it through the following year. The program is budgeted at $1.4 million per year. DISCUSSION ONLY. F. Solid Waste Collection Contract solid waste contract with Waste Management will expire October 31, 2019, and the City has two options for extension: negotiate and extend for up to two years or up to four years. Waste Management representatives will make a presentation to the Committee at its October 22, 2018 meeting. Chair McLeod noted that the current contract includes a very reasonable residential rate.
