INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director
BY: Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: June 11, 2019
SUBJECT: Shoreline Master Program Update
ISSUE
The City of Tukwila is required to periodically update its Shoreline Master Program and
associated regulations for compliance with changes to the Shoreline Management Act,
Department of Ecology guidelines, and legislative rules.
BACKGROUND
The Green/Duwamish River flows over 93 miles from the Cascade Mountains to Elliott Bay.
Approximately 13 miles of the river meanders through Tukwila's industrial district, urban center
and residential neighborhoods. The river system has undergone extensive changes over the
years as the population has increased dramatically, forests have been logged, levees have been
built, streams and rivers rerouted, and freeways, homes, shopping and manufacturing centers
constructed. As the impacts of human development have been recognized, State and Federal
agencies have developed regulations that require local jurisdictions to provide better
protection for remaining habitat, to control the collected storm water flowing directly into the
river, and to identify and restore areas where habitat restoration can succeed. This took on new
urgency when salmon were listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act in 1999.
The Green/Duwamish River in Tukwila is categorized as a Shoreline of the State. In response to
the State Shoreline Management Act (SMA) and Federal requirements, Tukwila has adopted
three documents related to the river — the Shoreline Master Program (SMP), Shoreline Element
in the City's Comprehensive Plan, and zoning regulations in TMC Chapter 18.44 Shoreline
Overlay.
Most construction, grading or clearing within 200 feet landward of the ordinary high water
mark (OHWM) requires a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit which is reviewed by the
Washington State Department of Ecology after issuance by the City. The City's shoreline
development regulations balance economic interests, flood control, and residential
development with enhancement and stewardship of the ecological functions of the river.
The City of Tukwila completed a comprehensive update to its Shoreline Master Program in
2009, with additional revisions made in 2011. Washington state law requires jurisdictions to
periodically review and update their SMPs every eight years for compliance with changes to the
3
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
SMA and Department of Ecology guidelines and legislative rules. The current update is due on
June 30, 2019.
SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM PERIODIC UPDATE
This update process is being undertaken jointly with the Department of Ecology using the joint
review process. By coordinating closely with DOE from the start we will streamline the review
timeline and ensure that we are addressing all required topics. The current update will focus
on:
• Reviewing relevant legislative updates since 2009 and incorporating any applicable
amendments per the Gap Analysis Report (available on the Shoreline Management page
of the City website).
• Ensuring consistency with recently adopted regulations for critical areas and flood hazard
areas.
• Streamlining and eliminating duplication in the documents.
• Addressing a limited number of policy questions.
This periodic update will not:
• Re-evaluate the ecological baseline which was established as part of the 2009
comprehensive update.
• Extensively assess no net loss criteria other than to ensure that proposed amendments do
not result in degradation of the baseline condition.
• Change shoreline jurisdiction or environment designations.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Staff began implementing the Public Outreach Plan with an all -city mailing advertising an open
house last October in addition to mentions in the citywide Stormwater mailer, the September
2018 eHazelnut newsletter, and on the City's web site. The PC hearing was advertised through
an additional postcard to property owners and tenants within the shoreline jurisdiction and
email notices to interested parties and agencies with jurisdiction.
Staff developed a set of proposed edits to the SMP and TMC Chapter 18.44 and released them
as public review drafts on the City's web site. The changes include the mandatory consistency
updates, housekeeping changes to streamline the document, and staff's recommended policy
changes. The PC reviewed these, held a public hearing, considered the public comments and
forwarded their recommended versions on to the City Council. Staff then conducted SEPA
environmental review and issued a Determination of Non -Significance for the update. These
materials are available on the Shoreline Management page of the City's website,
https://www.tukwilawa.gov/departments/community-development/shoreline-management/.
DISCUSSION
The main areas of change are listed below.

11citystore\City Common\Council Agenda Items\DCDIShoreline Update\SMP Council Info Memo 6-11-19,docx
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
Consistency with State Regulations
As documented in the Gap Analysis report there are areas where the City's regulations do not
reflect recent changes to State law. These include updates to definitions, new shoreline
exemptions, and updated references to RCW and WAC sections. These changes are mandatory
for consistency across jurisdictions. The proposal also includes language for revisions and time
extensions for issued shoreline permits in accordance with State requirements.
Streamlining/Eliminating Duplication
The current SMP includes policies and regulations that were subsequently also adopted into the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. This duplication has given rise to inconsistencies and
requires duplicate amendments whenever changes are made. The proposal is to create a multi-
part SMP that spans these documents and includes the Shoreline Element and Chapter 18.44 by
reference without repeating policy or regulation language.
The current Chapter 18.44 Shoreline Overlay duplicates the environmental regulations found in
Chapter 18.45 Sensitive Area Ordinance for sensitive areas within the shoreline jurisdiction.
After discussion with our DOE reviewer the proposal is to eliminate this duplication, reference
the regulations in 18.45 that are currently being updated, and add additional language about
applicability and limitations of that chapter. This does mean that adoption of the environmental
regulation update will need to occur concurrently with the adoption of the shoreline update.
Another proposal is to combine the shoreline use matrix and narrative list of uses into a single
table for clarity. Similarly, the narrative discussion of shoreline buffers has been put into a
table. Tree protection standards and penalties for tree unauthorized removal are proposed to
be updated to match the standards required outside of the shoreline under the new Tree
Ordinance. During review of the Critical Areas update the PC recommended some additional
consistency edits to how trees and vegetation are regulated under shoreline, critical areas,
landscape and tree chapters. Staff is proposing some additional edits to the PC recommended
SMP in section 18.44.060 to address that issue.
Renumbering
Some of the code sections in TMC 18.44 are quite long and therefore code citations can be 4 or
5 layers deep. This can be confusing and hard to use. Staff proposes to break up some of these
long sections and renumber in the final ordinance format after the policy work is completed on
the strikeout/underline version.
Additional Flexibility for Levee Profile
The current SMP contains a minimum levee profile with a mid -slope bench that is required
throughout the City. In practice this has not always been the chosen solution for a given
location and has required a shoreline variance even for designs with better environmental
performance. The proposal is to retain the minimum levee profile as an example but allow
flexibility to address site conditions and environmental opportunities without the variance
process as long as criteria such as an overall 2.5:1 river bank slope (red line below) and native
plantings are met.

Additional Flexibility for Floodwalls
This update is happening alongside a discussion about flood protection measures in the Lower
Green River Corridor Flood Hazard Management Plan. There are multiple alternatives under
consideration including the question of whether future levees should be built to protect against
500 year rather than 100 year flood events. This could require levees to be between 3.5 and 5.5
feet higher, which requires between 20 and 30 additional feet of width with a front and back
slope of at least 2.5:1 or adding 3.5 to 5.5 feet of height to a flood wall configuration without
the need for an additional 20 to 30 feet of width.

/Existing Levee

Water Mark
OHWM
The current Flood Control District access road standard is 15', not the 10' built into our current
buffer calculation so the total width of the levee footprint could increase by up to 35 feet.
Allowing an alternative flood wall configuration to substitute for the back slope, especially
where site constraints exist, would reduce the width needed and lessen the impact on adjacent
property owners. Levees are so expensive to build and the consequences of a levee failure are
so significant that the need to allow site specific design solutions may be desirable to reach life
safety and economic goals.
Increased Height Incentives
The proposal is to provide increased building height incentives for property owners who
provide shoreline restoration or shoreline public access above that required by code. The PC
opted to increase the current shoreline foot height limit from 45 to 65 feet and allow another
15 foot increase on properties that restore shoreline buffers or build shoreline public access
amenities. These incentives would not allow heights greater than that permitted by the
underlying zoning district.
Non -Conforming Structures
In response to a public comments the PC recommends removing the cost limitation on
alterations or improvements to non -conforming structures within the shoreline buffer if the
buffer covers most of the parcel. If a non -conforming structure is demolished the footprint may
be incorporated into an adjacent parking lot.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No direct impacts are expected due to these changes. The Department of Ecology has provided
Tukwila with a $20,000 grant to offset the cost of hiring a consultant to assist with the update.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to hold a public hearing on the proposed changes at the June 24th
Committee of the Whole meeting. Staff will then return with a comment matrix for the City
Council to review at the July 8 Committee of the Whole and revised ordinances at the July 15
Regular Meeting.

I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Shoreline Master Program Ordinances
*Staff is seeking Council approval of ordinances that will update the Shoreline Master
Progam and associated regulations in accordance with the Shoreline Management Act,
Department of Ecology (DOE) guidelines, and legislative rules. Tukwila has adopted three
policy documents related to the Green/Duwamish River, which is categorized as a Shoreline
of the State: Shoreline Master Program, Shoreline Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and
zoning regulations in TMC Chapter 18.44 Shoreline Overlay. State law requires cities to
periodically review and update their SMPs every eight years. Staff has coordinated closely
with the DOE with the focus on relevant legislative updates, ensuring consistency with
critical areas and flood hazard regulations, streamlining and eliminating duplication, and
addressing a limited number of policy questions. The process has included public outreach,
Planning Commission public hearing and recommendations, SEPA review, and DOE review.
Committee members and staff reviewed the matrix of Planning Commission
recommendations. Staff will incorporate public comment given at the June 24 Public
Hearing into a comment matrix for further review by the Committee or by the full Council,
which will be determined on the 24th. Chair Quinn suggested clarity around sequencing of
the process and emphasizing the DOE comments. He also requested input by an attorney
specializing in this area. FORWARD TO JUNE 24, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Lodging Tax Applications
1. Staff is seeking Council approval of a lodging tax funding request from the City of
Tukwila for $40,000 for the Southcenter Art Development Phase I project. This will
initially focus on Baker Boulevard between Westfield Southcenter and the rive and will
include project development for permanent art options and street/sidewalk painting to

CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: 06/12/19
SUBJECT: 4th of July Fireworks Enforcement Strategy
ISSUE
Active enforcement of Ordinance 1787, Banning the Discharge of Fireworks within the
Corporate Limits of the City of Tukwila, during the week of July 4, 2019.
BACKGROUND
On 12/09/1996 Council passed Ordinance 1787, banning the discharge of fireworks as
described above. In previous years, emphasis patrols staffed by Police and Fire have focused
mainly on education and confiscation without pursuing civil penalties on behalf of the city. These
emphasis patrols seem to have exacted minimal impact on the use of fireworks in the
community. The activities have continued, and complaints regarding the illegal discharge of
fireworks continued to be registered. TMC 8.12 charges the Chief of Police and Fire Marshal
with administering and enforcing related provisions. TMC 8.45 allows for monetary penalties:
"Each civil infraction shall carry with it a monetary penalty of $100.00 for the first violation,
$175.00 for a second violation of the same nature or a continuing violation, and $250.00 for a
third or subsequent violation of the same nature or continuing violation." (TMC 8.45.120
Penalties- attached)
DISCUSSION
The kinder and gentler approach associated with education and enforcement has failed in
stemming the illegal discharge of fireworks in the City of Tukwila. The Police Chief and Fire
Marshal are preparing for proactive enforcement within the full guidelines of the ordinance and
within TMC 8,12 and 8.45. In advance of the upcoming holiday, community messaging will
emphasize a City of Tukwila "Zero Tolerance" policy aimed at the illegal discharge of fireworks.
OUTREACH EFFORTS
Part of the Police and Fire Department fireworks enforcement strategy encompasses
messaging to ensure Tukwila residents and visitors are well informed of Ordinance 1787,
banning the discharge of fireworks inside our city limits.
Staff understands that communications with residents and guests on the City's ban on fireworks
and this year's emphasis patrols that will result in citations. Accordingly, the City is utilizing the
following communication channels to get the message out:
• Social media and website — The City will utilize all of its social media channels from the
main City account, Parks and Recreation account and the Tukwila Police Department
account to push out a centralized message on the fireworks ban, and the fact that the
Police Department will be writing citations in 2019. The website will also be updated
accordingly.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
• Channel 21 — City staff will put materials on Channel 21 for viewers to see regarding the
ban and citations.
• Tukwila Talk — Staff will coordinate with the editor to convey the ban and upcoming
enforcement strategies.
• Nextdoor — Staff will leverage blockwatch communities to communicate the ban and
enforcement strategy via the NextDoor blog.
• Digital Message Board — Staff is reaching out to the advertiser of the digital message
board at West Valley Highway and S. 180th Street to push out a message both about the
fact that there will not be fireworks at Ft. Dent this year as well as the fireworks ban in
the City of Tukwila.
• Code Red — The City will push out messages to people in Tukwila that have signed up
for non -emergency alerts reminding people that fireworks are illegal in"the City of
Tukwila and to warn them that citations will be issued this year.
• Yard Signs in Parks — As the department has done in previous years, Parks and
Recreation will develop "Respect the Ban" yard signs and place them in parks
throughout the City reminding people about the fireworks ban.
• Tukwila School District Coordination — City staff will work with the Tukwila School District
to utilize some of their channels such as social media and sign at Foster High School, to
push out the message of the ban and planned citations.
• The city will work with TIBAC, COPCAB and other committees, to spread the word and
possibly assist with distributing information pamphlets to apartment managers for
distribution to their rental communities.
In addition, staff is working on various ways to spread the word that there will not be fireworks at
Fort Dent. Efforts include leveraging social media, outreach to media and installing the variable
message board signs on West Valley Highway at Fort Dent Way.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approximately $2,600.00 in overtime and benefits for two police officers and two firefighters on
July 3, 2019 to patrol eight hours. Approximately $5,200 for six police officers and two
firefighters on July 4, 2019 to patrol eight hours. The total impact is approximately $7,800.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to the June 24, 2019 Committee of the Whole for an update to the full Council.

of July holiday. The City plans to do more proactive enforcement this year with emphasis on a
"zero tolerance" message to the community in the weeks prior. The City will get the word out
through its media channels and coordination with the School District. Both Police and Fire will
be providing additional staff on July 3 and July 4 for an estimated financial impact of $7,800.
Councilmember Kruller suggested messaging in additional languages and seeking guidance
from the Equity and Social Justice Commission. DISCUSSION ONLY. FORWARD TO JUNE 24,
2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Staff updated the Committee on the propane tank emergency incident over the weekend.
Councilmember Idan asked if the City would be reimbursed. The Fire Chief will be sending a letter
to responsible parties explaining the violations and outlining next steps.
Staff distributed a document showing automatic aid given and received per station between 2014
and 2018. Chair Robertson reiterated the Committee's intent to review public safety data to assess

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance Committee
CC: Mayor Allan Ekberg
FROM: Rachel Bianchi, Deputy City Administrator
DATE: Updated June 5, 2019
SUBJECT: Fire Station 52 Funding
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Staff provided the Public Safety Committee with an update on the status of Fire Station 52, which
will also be discussed at the May 28, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting. The Schematic
Design estimate shows that Fire Station 52 is over the revised budget. The Public Safety
Committee agreed that the Finance Committee will look at options for funding Fire Station 52 and
ultimately provide a recommendation to the full Council. Staff is seeking discussion and direction
on the topic to bring back a proposal to the next Finance Committee meeting.
BACKGROUND
The new Fire Station 52 is to be located on the City Hall Campus just north of the 6300 Building in the
upper parking lot. With Fire Station 51 moving further south, the FACETS study determined that it
would be important for Fire Station 52 to move further south to maximize coverage and response times
throughout the City. Fire Station 52 will become the new headquarters station and thus is a larger,
more complex building than Fire Station 51.
With the Schematic Design phase complete, the project team began estimating the project. In addition,
the group used the bids received for the Fire Station 51 project, currently under construction, to inform
the estimating process. Fire Station 52 is above the adjusted budget adopted by the Council in July of
2018. The project team spent considerable time and discussion identifying places to value engineer
the project in order to ensure the best value for the City. The team identified nearly $670,000 in
savings that would not affect the functionality of the building. However, it was determined that no
additional savings could be found that would not significantly impact the building's usability and long-
term functioning.
The construction budget is estimated to be over budget by $4.23 million once construction costs, sales
tax and contingency are accounted for. The full build out of the Administration space, which has been
carried as an alternate since early on in the project, is expected to cost an additional $1.25 million,
which would include construction, sales tax, contingency and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E).
While this percentage is higher than the overage on Fire Station 51, this project is significantly more
complex. It is a two-story building requiring much more structural support and use of steel and has a
significant earthwork component.
The most volatile costs on this project are associated with earthwork. Because of the current market,
the unknowns about what contractors would potentially bid on this project and the very real escalation

in the market, particularly for earthwork services, the project team elected to include a 30% contingency
in the budget for earthwork alone, which is over $1 million.
Due to the significant amount of value engineering work, this most recent estimating phase took longer
than normal, and the project is now finished up with the Design Development (DD) phase. Both
Robinson, the outside estimators, and Lydig will be doing another round of estimating on the DD plan
set to refine these numbers. As with any project, the final numbers will be known once the bid results
are received and compiled.
DISCUSSION
There is a suite of options available to fund the $4.23 million gap:
• Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Mitigation payments, which were unanticipated, will be restored
over the next four years, estimated at approximately $4 million. Previously the State Legislature
had ended the SST mitigation payments and the City did not include them in the budget moving
forward from their sunset date of 2019. However, during this past session, the Legislature
restored the payments for another four years. Because these are one-time funds that should
not be programmed for ongoing programs or personnel, using this for a one-time cost like
construction of Station 52 makes sense.
• Unallocated Fire Impact Fees from 2018, totaling $167,000.
• Council's 10% one-time revenue contingency, totaling $525,000.
• 2019/2020 ending fund balance in excess of Council policy.
• Additional debt issuance.
• Dedication of project sales tax.
• Other options explored during the 2018 Finance Committee D-20 discussions.
The project continues to be constrained by market escalation, and the timeline is critical to ensure the
ability to contain costs. The project team is very aware of the importance of utilizing the summer
months to do the earthwork and site utilities in order to not have additional costs associated with
doing this work in the wet months. In order to achieve this goal, staff will be bringing the project
forward in two phases — similar to what was done with the Justice Center — in a "mini-MACC" and
total MACC under the following timeline:
• Mini-MACC. Earthwork, site utilities, electrical, structural
o July 1: Public Safety Committee
o July 8: Committee of the Whole
o July 15: Full council consideration
• Final MACC. Building construction
o October 28: Public Safety Committee
o November 11: Committee of the Whole
o November 18: Full Council consideration
While it will be necessary that the City has identified how to fill the $4.23 million gap before starting
the "mini-MACC," decisions on funding the alternate of the Administration build -out do not need to be
made until Fall and will be informed by how much of the earthwork contingency is used in the mini-
MACC, as well as the progress of the other Public Safety Plan projects.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking the Committee's direction on how to fund the Fire Station 52 gap. Staff would then
return to the June 10 Finance Committee with a funding proposal.

UPDATE JUNE 5, 2019
Staff has updated the "D-20" funding model to indicate how the funding gap for Fire Station 52 could be
achieved (see attached). Per the direction of the Finance Committee at the May 28 meeting, staff
utilized the following revenue sources to achieve this goal:
• $167,000 in Fire Impact Fees collected in 2018 but not allocated.
• The unanticipated Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation payments that were added back in the 2019
legislative session,
The following are the changes from what was adopted in the 2019/2020 budget and previously seen in
the "D-20" model were incorporated into the attached draft:
• Line 13: Fire Impact Fees were increased by $167 000 in 2019 to account for the $167,000 in
Fire Impact Fees collected but not allocated in 2018.
• Line 17: Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation payments included as a new revenue source.
• Lines 28 and 29: Justice Center expenditure reduced, and Fire Station 51 expenditure increased
per Council action during the Fire Station 51 MACC and Justice Center "mini-MACC" approval.
• Line 31: The $4.23 M gap for Fire Station 52 was added as a separate line item.
• Line 33: Apparatus funding in 2018 was reduced to what was actually spent; additional funding
put in the out years as a place holder until apparatus and equipment schedule is updated.
With these updates, funding the Public Safety Plan, as modified in 2018, remains attainable and a
positive fund balance is achieved each year. As has been previously stated, the funding model is an
iterative process that will continue to be updated as the City progresses in funding the Public Safety
Plan.
Finally, the project team has now completed the Design Development phase and both Lydig
Construction and the independent estimators, Robinson, have completed the latest round of estimating.
The $4.23 M gap for Fire Station 52 was validated in this effort.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends funding the gap for Fire Station 52 with the two sources identified above. Once bids
for the mini-MACC are received the full Council will be able to make a final decision.
Staff is seeking consensus from the Committee to move to the June 24 Committee of the Whole for
Council discussion.

CALL TO ORDER: Chair McLeod called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Storm and Surface Water Billings Transfer to King County
Staff updated the Committee on the transition of the Storm and Surface Water billing and
collection process to King County effective January 1, 2019. The City received a lot of calls and
inquiry during the first quarter but they have since tapered off. Tukwila will still handle old
delinquent bills. Committee members and staff discussed public records requirements and
offsite storage. DISCUSSION ONLY.
B.
Fire Station 52 Funding
Staff returned with an updated "D-20" funding model reflecting the direction of the Committee
at its last meeting, which includes $167,000 in 2018 Fire Impact Fees and the unanticipated
Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation payments that were added back in the 2019 legislative session.
The model also reflects the budget changes made to the Justice Center and Station 51 approved
by Council during the Fire Station 51 MACC and Justice Center mini-MACC decisions as well as a
reduction to 2018 apparatus funding to reflect what was actually spent and placeholder funding
in the out years. Once bids for the mini-MACC are received the full Council will make a final
decision. Chair McLeod asked about earthwork contingency and how to accurately budget it.
Staff noted it is no longer contingency and built in the budget as its included in Design
Development. Soil has to be brought in. Chair McLeod referenced concerns expressed by some
firefighters regarding the grade of the site, which will be at 12%. Chief Wittwer referenced the
Facets study which resulted in the siting decisions recommended by the advisory committee and
approved by Council. The City will be improving the site to accommodate the apparatus. Chair
McLeod asked Mr. Booth for his thoughts on this and he stated that the union does not support
the location as the grade presents issues with vehicle maintenance and inclement weather.
Councilmember Seal inquired further about safety and staff responded that certified engineers
are approving the plans. The roadway will include a heated strip system for ice and snow. The
Committee agreed to forward the funding discussion to the Committee of the Whole for
discussion. FORWARD TO JUNE 24, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

CC: Mayor Allan Ekberg
DATE: June 14, 2019 Updated after June 18, 2019 Transportation & Infrastructure Committee
SUBJECT: BNSF Intermodal Facility Access Project
Project No. 99510409
Schedule Update and next steps
ISSUE
Provide an update and seek direction on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Intermodal Access Study.
BACKGROUND
BNSF owns an Intermodal facility that transports containers from trucks to railroad and vice versa. This facility is located
within Tukwila city limits in the Allentown community. The intermodal facility is adjacent to 1-5 and southeast of King County
International Airport, also known as Boeing Field. BNSF calls this facility the South Seattle Intermodal Facility.
The City of Tukwila and BNSF jointly funded an access study to determine a potential new route for truck traffic into the
intermodal yard. David Evans and Associates began the study in March 2015. The BNSF access study produced a draft
report in November 2016. As part of the study, open houses were held, and community input was collected. The following
five alternatives were studied;
1. Airport Way S 4. Gateway Drive - north leg
2. S 112th Street 5. New 48th Avene S Bridge
3. S 124th Street
The draft study indicated that the 48th Avenue S Bridge was the preferred alternative. The study remains in draft form.
ANALYSIS
The findings from the draft study were provided to the City Council in December 2016 after the first round of open houses
and community outreach. The alternatives were presented at an Open House on August 17, 2017, with the preferred
alternative identified as 48th Avenue S Bridge. The next step had planned to bring these alternatives and funding options
to the City Council in the fall of 2017. If a decision is made on the preferred alternative, a funding source needs to be
identified to take the next step.
The original next steps for the BNSF Intermodal Study included these options:
- Finalize the Preferred Alternative and seek Council direction
- Identify and provide funding for preliminary engineering and design of the preferred alternative
- Continue public outreach and continue the SEPA process

Next Steps
- Finalize the Preferred Alternative and seek Council direction
- Identify the funding source and prepare a supplement to David Evans consultant contract to update the cost
estimates and finalize the report documents from draft format
- Identify and provide funding for preliminary engineering and design of preferred alternative
- Continue public outreach and SEPA process
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff estimates that the supplemental costs to update the David Evans contract for the cost estimate revisions and finalizing
the report will be approximately $15,000.
Project costs for the preferred alternative, 48th Ave S Bridge, are unknown until preliminary engineering is underway. Best
available estimates developed in 2017 were approximately $20 million (in 2019, the estimate could be as high as $34
million). In general, there are not many outside funding sources (i.e. federal, state funding) for new bridges such as the
potential 48th Ave S Bridge Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Discussion only.
On June 18, 2019 the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee discussed this issue and unanimously agreed on a
recommendation for staff to contract with David Evans & Associates to update the construction estimates and finalize the
study in order for the City Council to make a decision on the preferred alternative. The Committee requested that the full
Council be briefed and given the opportunity to provide direction on next steps.
If the Council gives direction on June 24th to pursue completion of the study, estimated to cost up to $15,000, it will not
require an additional contract approval as it will be under the Mayor's signing authority per the City's contract policy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Alternative Screening Analysis Report for the City of Tukwila was prepared by David Evans and
Associates, Inc. to evaluate alternative access to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway
intermodal facility in Tukwila, Washington. This facility is also known as South Seattle Yard. BNSF
Railway also sponsored this study.
The existing access to the intermodal facility uses 42nd Avenue S and 5 124th Street. S 124th Street
is also a residential collector street serving the community of Allentown. Several residential homes
with driveways are located on S 124th Street, as is the Tukwila Community Center which houses an
aquatic center, meeting rooms, classes and activities for all ages, and playground and ball fields.
This study did not create new alternatives but used alternatives that were developed by previous
studies. A total of five alternatives were studied: Airport Way S, S 112th Street, S 124th Street,
Gateway Drive — North Leg, and 48th Avenue S.
Several desktop researches were performed as part of this study. These researches included critical
and sensitive areas, fish and wildlife, water resources, hazardous materials, geological and soils, and
cultural and historical resources.
A scored screening matrix was developed collaboratively between the City of Tukwila, BNSF
Railway, and David Evans and Associates, Inc. The matrix was presented to Tukwila City Council as
well as to the public for their feedback on the screening matrix criteria. The public was allowed to
provide feedback via an on-line open house and an in -person open house.
Representatives from Tukwila, BNSF Railway, and David Evans and Associates, Inc. met to score
each alternative using a numerical scoring system from 1 to 9. The score for each criteria was
added, and the lowest score is the preferred alternative.
Based on the scoring result, the 48th Avenue S alternative is the preferred alternative.

INTRODUCTION
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway owns an intermodal facility that transfers containers
from trucks to railroad and vice versa. This facility is located within the City of Tukwila city limits in
the Allentown community. The intermodal facility is adjacent to Interstate 5 (I-5) and just south of
King County International Airport, also known as Boeing Field. BNSF calls this facility South Seattle
Yard.
The only access route to the intermodal facility is along the southern edge of the Allentown
community on S 124th Street. In order to improve livability and safety without compromising the
operations of the yard, the community and the City are seeking an alternative access route to the
intermodal facility.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The project area is located in the incorporated community of Allentown, within the City of Tukwila.
For several years, the City has worked with Allentown residents on issues related to community
impacts resulting from the BNSF South Seattle Intermodal Facility, and on identifying alternatives
for a rerouted truck access —one with fewer adverse impacts on the neighborhood. Trucks currently
use 42nd Avenue S and S 124th Street to access the rail facility. Over 20 different alternatives for
truck access to the rail facility have been studied since 1998.
Truck traffic has increased along the existing truck route over the last several years, due to
increased rail activity. The approximately 50 homes along S 124th Street experience 24-hour per
day truck traffic, adding to the other existing airport, highway, and train noise levels in the
neighborhood. Truck traffic also creates safety issues for residents. Trucks back up at the
checkpoint station at the east end of S 124th Street, idling on S 124th Street, waiting to check into
the rail facility, creating access difficulties, vehicle exhaust, noise, and safety issues for residents.
SUMMARY OF DESIGN CRITERIA
After discussions with the City, the typical roadway section for this project used a 12-foot lane, 5-
foot bike lane, 5-foot landscape strip, and 5-foot sidewalk. The total width for this roadway section
is 75 feet (includes 1-foot for curbs on both side of the street). This same width was also used for
the bridge section.
In developing the concept roadway profiles, a design speed of 35 mph was used.
Since the new access would primarily be used by trucks, the maximum roadway grade used was five
percent.
ALTERNATIVES
The City of Tukwila began studying access alternatives to the BNSF Intermodal Facility in 1998. An
alternative study was performed by Harding Lawson Associates. Another access alternative study
was performed by Cooper Consulting Engineering in 2000. This access study did not develop new
alternatives, but used leading alternatives from these previous studies.

3 Alternative Screening Analysis
November 28, 2016

Airport Way S Alternative
This alternative access would connect the northern end of the intermodal facility to Airport Way S.
The existing railroad maintenance road would be reconstructed and provide ingress and egress to
the intermodal facility. A new intersection and traffic signal would be required at Airport Way and
the access road. Plan sheets for this alternative can be found in Appendix A.
Due to geometric constraints and the alignments of Airport Way S and the new access road, access
from Airport Way south of the new intersection to the intermodal facility is not feasible. Entry and
exit from the intermodal facility would only be north of the new intersection. Taking into account
these restrictions, 1-5 freeway access would be via S Norfolk Street, East Marginal Way S, and S
Boeing Access Road. A figure of the truck freeway access route can be found in Appendix B.
This alternative access would require the existing bridge on S Boeing Access Road over the railroad
tracks to be reconstructed due to the width of the new access road and the existing bridge
configuration.
This alternative would require the intermodal facility to construct the following at the north end of
the yard: a check-in/check-out facility, truck queuing lanes, an operations building, and a truck
storage access road along the western edge of the facility. This new road cannot be built within the
existing BNSF parcel, so new right-of-way would be required.
S 112th Street Alternative
This alternative would connect to the northern half of the intermodal facility. This new roadway
would begin at East Marginal Way S and use the existing Seattle Public Utilities and Seattle City
Light utilities corridor. The utilities corridor borders a shooting range to the north, and Duwamish
Hill Preserve and a residential neighborhood to the south. A bluff separates the higher -elevation
residential neighborhood from S 112th Street to the north and the rail facility to the east.
The existing utility corridor contains three separate high -power transmissions lines and a large -
diameter water line, as seen in aerial photos.
Plan sheets for this alternative can be found in Appendix A.
The truck freeway access route to I-5 would be via East Marginal Way S and S Boeing Access Road. A
figure of the truck freeway access route can be found in Appendix B.
This alternative would require the intermodal facility to construct the following at the north end of
the yard: a check-in/check-out facility, truck queuing lanes, an operations building, and a truck
storage access road along the western edge of the facility. This new road cannot be built within the
existing BNSF parcel, so new right-of-way would be required.
S 124th Street Alternative
This alternative would use the existing route and connect into the intermodal facility at its current
location. Truck traffic would continue to access the rail facility using Interurban Avenue S, 42nd
Avenue S, S 124th Street, and the existing check-in/check-out facility. No improvements or changes
would occur to the streets along the route as part of this project. This route is adjacent to

approximately 50 homes and the Tukwila Community Center, and runs through the middle of the
Allentown neighborhood. Impacts to the neighborhood associated with the truck traffic would
continue, similar to existing conditions, and could continue to worsen, based on recent increases in
freight -related truck traffic in this area. Due to its age and service life, the 42nd Avenue S bridge
over the Duwamish River would require replacement. Plan sheets for this alternative can be found
in Appendix A.
As a mitigation measure for the truck noise, it is assumed that a noise wall would be constructed
along the northern edge of 42nd Avenue S. The construction of this new noise wall would require
the acquisition of all homes whose driveways are on 42nd Avenue S. Also, seven roadways (43rd
Avenue S, 44th Avenue S, 45th Avenue S, 46th Avenue S, 47th Avenue S, 48th Avenue S, and 49th
Avenue S) would have their access to 42nd Avenue S closed. These streets would become dead-end
streets, and new cul-de-sacs would be constructed at the south end of each street. All of the
neighbor access would be shifted to S 122nd Street to the north.
There would be no changes to freeway access with this alternative. A figure of the truck freeway
access route can be found in Appendix B.
There would be no changes to the intermodal facility as part of this alternative.
Gateway Drive Alternative
This alternative access would connect to the intermodal facility at its current check-in/check-out
location. This alternative would begin at Interurban Avenue S, use the north leg of Gateway Drive,
construct a new roadway between the Boeing Employee Credit Union (BECU) buildings, construct a
bridge over the Green River Trail and Duwamish River, go through residential parcels, and tie into
the existing intermodal check-in/check-out facility. This alternative would construct three new at -
grade intersections at Gateway Drive (east leg), 5Oth Place S, and 51st Place S. The new bridge
would include a 10-foot-wide pedestrian facility. Plan sheets for this alternative can be found in
Appendix A.
The truck freeway access route to I-5 would be via Interurban Avenue S. A figure of the truck
freeway access route can be found in Appendix B.
There would be no changes to the intermodal facility as part of this alternative.
4.8th Avenue S Alternative
This alternative access would connect to the southern end of the intermodal facility. This
alternative would begin at Interurban Avenue S, use the existing 48th Avenue S roadway, and
construct a new bridge over the Green River Trail and Duwamish River, as well as a roadway that
goes under the existing S 129th Street bridge and into the rail yard facility. The new bridge would
include a 10-foot-wide pedestrian facility. Plan sheets for this alternative can be found in Appendix
A.
The truck freeway access route to 1-5 would be via Interurban Avenue S. A figure of the truck
freeway access route can be found in Appendix B.

This alternative would require the intermodal facility to construct new truck queuing and exiting
lanes. All new lanes can be constructed within BNSF parcels. No construction or modification would
be needed at the existing check-in/check-out facility or operation building.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA COLLECTION
To assist in screening the alternatives, existing information in the following subjects was gathered
and displayed as geographic information system (GIS) maps. No field work was conducted, and the
information for the existing conditions came from publicly -available sources. An Existing Conditions
Technical Memorandum was prepared for each subject area. This information will also be used in
the technical discipline reports prepared as part of the environmental documentation under SEPA.

The project area is located in the Puget Sound lowlands, within the tidally -influenced Duwamish
estuary ecosystem. Category III and IV wetlands exist within the project study area. The Duwamish
River runs through the middle of the project area and is designated by the City of Tukwila as a
shoreline of statewide significance.
Fish and Wildlife
Fish and wildlife use of the project study area is limited by its high density of industrial, commercial,
and residential development. Terrestrial wildlife habitat in the project area is limited to the buffers
of wetlands, the narrow riparian fringe along the Duwamish River, and a few scattered undeveloped
steep slopes and undeveloped parcels.
Fish use in the Duwamish River, which contains a wide range of native and nonnative fish species,
includes several species listed as threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act
(ESA), including Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout.
Water Resources
According to the King County Aquifer Recharge Area map, no critical aquifer recharge areas are
located within the project area. Since the Duwamish River is a designated floodway that is
contained by constructed levees, there are no 100-year or 500-year floodplains located within the
project study area.
All alternatives fall within Tukwila's shoreline jurisdiction.

The Duwamish River is on the Ecology 303(d) list for over 300 water quality pollutants.
Hazardous Materials
Hazardous material sites were identified within the project study area. Each site was assigned a risk
rating (low, medium, or high). The risk assigned was based on professional judgment considering
each site's distance to the alternative footprint, type, duration of historical development,
contaminated media, known gradient and contaminant migration potential. The majority of the
sites were classified as low risk. Concerns exist based on historical or current development, but the
likelihood for conditions at the site to affect the project is assessed as relatively low.
Geological and S. is
The project study area is located within the Duwamish River valley. Prior to human modifications,
the Duwamish River was a natural distributary channel of the Cedar and Green Rivers, as well as the
White River. These rivers originate on the flanks of Mount Rainer.
Predominate geologic units mapped in the area of the proposed route alternatives include:
alluvium, bedrock, and glacial deposits. The alternative routes are primarily located within the areas
mapped as alluvial deposits. Bedrock is mapped along the southeastern edge of the Duwamish
River valley in the project study area. Exposed bedrock outcrops are also mapped in the northern
portion of the project area while a glacial deposit area was mapped along the southwestern edge of
the project study area.
In general, there are relative good soils within the project area; however, the potential of
liquefaction does exist within the project study area, especially along the riverbanks.
Cultural and Historical Resources
The project study area is within an area identified by local Native American groups as a traditionally
important landscape. Traditional cultural properties are known to be in the vicinity of each access
alternative.
Remnants of electric railroad may be located at the western ends of all of the alternatives, and
would be considered as items of archaeological importance if encountered.
The project study area contains several buildings, structures, and objects (BSO) that are 35 years or
older. The majority of these BSOs are residential homes. Survey and elevations need to be
performed to determine if they are eligible for registry.
SCREENING MATRIX
In the following two sections, an explanation of the selection criteria matrix is presented. The first
section, Matrix Criteria, discusses the criteria groups and each individual criterion. The second
section, Scoring Methodology, discusses the approach used to score each alternative.

Matrix Criteria
A screening matrix was developed to score the alternatives. The City of Tukwila, BNSF Railway, and
David Evans and Associates, Inc. worked collaboratively to create the screening matrix. The matrix
was then presented to the City Council and the public for their comments. Bob Giberson, Tukwila
Public Works Director, presented the screening matrix to the City Council. The City Council did not
have any comments on the screening matrix.
The screening matrix was presented to the public via two venues: an on-line open house and an in -
person open house. The public did not have any comments on the screening matrix.
The screening matrix contained four groups of scoring criteria. The groups and group descriptions
are as follow:
• Right -of -Way
This group evaluates the need for new right-of-way to construct the alternative and
railroad yard modifications and the complexity or difficulties in obtaining the new right-
of-way.
• Construction
This group evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of constructing the
alternatives.
• Railroad
This group evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to the operations of the
existing railroad intermodal facility.
• Environmental
This group evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to the environment,
preparing the required environmental documentation, and obtaining construction
permits.
For each of these groups, more in depth scoring criteria were used. The following section describes
these additional scoring criteria.
Right -of -Way
• Residential
This criterion evaluates the need for new residential right-of-way to construct the
alternative, and the complexity or difficulties in obtaining the new residential right-of-
way.
• Commercial
This criterion evaluates the need for new commercial right-of-way to construct the
alternative, and the complexity or difficulties in obtaining the new commercial right-of-
way.

• Vacant Land
This criterion evaluates the need for new vacant land right-of-way to construct the
alternative, and the complexity or difficulties in obtaining the new vacant land right-of-
way.
Con ti EFction
• Utilities Relocation
This criterion evaluates the complexity or difficulties of relocating existing utilities
(power, telephone, gas, water, etc.). A couple of examples are the type of overhead
lines (transmission versus distribution), and the size of water line (12 inches versus 6
feet).
• Road Construction
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to existing roadways in
constructing the alternative. Some examples are roadway horizontal or profile revisions,
stormwater or sidewalk reconstruction, and illumination/traffic signals construction or
revisions.
Impacts Traffic during Construction
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to existing traffic in
constructing the alternative. Some impact examples are the number of days and hours
for lane or roadway closures, the length of detour routes, and the delays for vehicles to
reach their destination.
Railroad
• Railroad Yard Access To and From Freeway
This criterion evaluates the complexity or difficulties of vehicle access from the railroad
intermodal facility to the freeway and vice versa. Some examples are the distance a
vehicle travels from the intermodal facility to the freeway, the number of signalized
intersections a vehicle will cross, and the turning movements (i.e., right turns versus left
turns).
• BNSF Yard Access Reliability
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to providing a reliable
access to the intermodal facility. The main criterion is the risk associated with an
alternative for a closure of a route that restricts access to the facility. This could be due
to any reason: bridge closure or collapse, flooding, or road closure.
• Impacts to Railroad Operations
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to existing intermodal
facility operations. Some examples are relocating the check-in/check-out facility,
relocating the operations building, vehicle circulations within the facility, or access to
storage areas.

Environmental
• Air Quality
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of air quality.
• Noise
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of noise to sensitive
receivers.
• Historic, Cultural, and Archaeological Resources
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts on historical structures
and to cultural or archaeological sites.
• Critical/Sensitive Areas
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts to critical and sensitive
areas.
• Geotechnical
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of geotechnical items to
the construction of the alternative.
• Traffic - Operations
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of traffic operations due
to the alternative.
• Permitting
This criterion evaluates the complexity, difficulties, and impacts of obtaining permits
needed to construct each alternative.
Cost
The last group in the screening matrix is construction cost. This was included for information
purposes only. The construction cost was separated into two groups. The first one, Roadway
Construction, represents the cost to construct the roadway improvements, or reconstruction of the
existing roadway. The second one, Railroad Yard Construction, represents the cost to construct
improvements or reconstruct the intermodal facility.
Scoring Methodology
A numerical scoring system was used to score each alternative. The scoring range was 1-9 with 1
representing the least difficulty or complexity and 9 representing the most difficulty or complexity.
With this system, the preferred alternative will have the lowest total.
In addition to a numerical score, a color coding system was implemented in order to provide a quick
of the scoring. The colors used were red, yellow, and green. The color assignment for the numerical
scores is as follows:

SCORING OF ALTERNATIVES
The selection criteria matrix was sent to the City of Tukwila and BNSF Railway in order for them to
score, independently, each alternative. David Evans and Associates, Inc. also scored each alternative
independently. On July 20, 2016, representatives from City of Tukwila, BNSF Railway, and David
Evans and Associates, Inc. met to develop a collaborative score for each alternative. The following
figure shows the scoring as a result of this meeting.

CNCEPTUAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY ESTIMATES
Conceptual construction costs and right-of-way estimates were determined for each alternative.
The construction cost estimates were separated into three categories: roadway construction cost
(includes bridge construction), railroad construction cost, and right-of-way acquisition cost.
The estimates were by three separate entities. The conceptual roadway construction cost estimates
were determined by David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA). The railroad costs were determined by
BNSF Railway. The right-of-way costs were determined by Abeyta & Associates, a right-of-way
specialist, and a subconsultant to DEA.
The following table provides the conceptual costs for roadway construction, roadway right-of-way,
railroad facilities construction, and railroad right-of-way.

Preferred Alternative Outreach Summary
BNSF Access Study
DRAFT— September 5, 2017
Background
In 2016, the Tukwila community provided input on the screening criteria that was used to develop the
BNSF Access Study report. The City identified a preferred alternative route and shared it with the
community at an open house on August 17, 2017.
Summary
The City of Tukwila hosted an in -person open house at the Tukwila Community Center on August 17,
2017. The in -person house accompanied an online open house, which included the same information as
the in -person open house and was available from August 15 - 28, 2017.
Notifications
The project team advertised the in -person and online open houses in early August 2017. Notifications
included the following:
• Postcard sent to theAllentown and Duwamish neighborhoods
• Emails to the City's project listsery
o Listsery includes community members, business and property owners, other interested
parties
• Flier emailed as attachment to Allentown and Duwamish neighborhood listservs by
neighborhood leaders
• Facebook and Twitter posts on the City's social media accounts
Attendance and visitor statistics
• In -person open house attendance: 42
• In -person comment forms completed: 20
• Online open house visitors: 32
• Online surveys completed: 12
• Overall number of participants: 74
Engagement Methods
In -Person Open House
The City gathered shared information about the preferred alternative and other considered alternatives
during an open house at the Tukwila Community Center on August 17, 2017, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Participants viewed informational boards that described the project purpose, schedule, alternative and
preferred routes, screening criteria and environmental process. Project staff were on hand to answer
questions. Participants contributed comments via comment cards. Comments received at the open
house are shown in Appendix 1 and summarized below.

In -person open house participants give feedback on comment cards.
Online Open House
In order to reach Tukwila businesses and residents who were unable to attend the in -person open
house, the City advertised an online open house, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, starting
August 15 and ending August 28. The online open house included the same information as at the in -
person open house and a survey that gathered specific feedback in a similar fashion to the comment
boxes at the in -person open house. Comments received through the online open house are shown in
Appendices 2 and summarized below.
Feedback Overview
Several themes emerged from the input received through 32 comments and surveys:
• Those who supported the preferred alternative (15) stated a number of reasons for their
support, including moving the truck route to a commercial street and away from residences,
access/proximity to I-5 and current residential impacts on 124th.
• All residents who said they live along or near the current access route who participated (4)
supported moving the truck access route to another street.
• Those who opposed the preferred alternative (4) stated increased traffic, business impacts and
residential impacts as reasons for their opposition.
• Several participants urged the City to study or investigate cost (4) and traffic (3). Several
participants also expressed interest in potential environmental impacts (3).

Next Steps
All feedback presented here is being provided to the project team for consideration. The study and
proposed route will be presented to City Council in the fall of 2017.
One participant requested specific follow up regarding business impacts on 48th Ave 5: Quinn Closson,

I prefer the 48th Ave S option
as the least impactful to
residential properties in
Allentown and Duwamish.
This option keeps semis on
existing truck routes w/out
creating new roads through
environmentally critical areas
or private property. *Also
need noise wall along edge of
railyard.

My first choice BNSF move out
completely. Second choice I
prefer 48th Ave S. Build wall
to control noise and shaking

Thanks for all the work that
has been done on this. The
grid was particularly helpful -
very concrete information and
easy to understand. The
original study in 1990 shows
that the 48th st option was
the least expensive and made
the most sense. It is the same
in 2017. Seems pretty clear
that this is still the direction to
go.

I agree wholeheartedly with
the preffered study route
where it impacts all identified
impact criteria the least and is
the least expensive. Thank you
for working on this and
advocating for community
input and gathering feedback.
The preferred route makes
the most sense for all.
x
[Illegible] [unknown]
I think the preferred option
makes the most sense of
those presented. It takes the
traffic completely off
residential streets and on to a
commercial street that
already accomodates semi -
truck traffic.

I hope this project gets look at
seriously as I really enjoy my
home at 124th - but the
vibration of the trucks in and
out 24-7 is really bad and
nuisance. It shakes our house
especially when sleeping - the
NO -Build option: S 124th
should not be an option.

Wilfredo Nilo wznilo@gmail.com
We live by 124th ave which is
active for semi -trucker. Since
we moved here from
september 2016 we felt a
massive vibration everytime
those truckets pass by. We
live in a brand new home and
it created major cracks in aour
garage. We worried whats
gonna happen next.

home and neighborhood is
terrible, the house vibrates
each time; lots of noise; and
traffic gets crowded. 48th st is
great alternative for the BNSB

Appendix 2: Comments from Online Open House
Note: comments are verbatim as written,
Comment
l.Will all trucks nolonger use l24th st7Z.Will there beentry and exit capability from 5[thPLS/lZ9th
street? we most have the capability to enter and exit from SOth PL5/lZ9th street. Please make sure
this option available. Thanks for your consideration
How much will this cost? What about an option to improve the 42nd st bridge by the community
center and do some mitigation on the streets that the trucks drive down, such as widening the
shoulders of the street, side walks and maybe even some sort of sound barrier? How is this project
prioritized compared to needs in other neighborhoods such as sidewalks and road repair?
I am an employee of BECU and believe that the 48th Ave So. preferred option is by far the best choice.
Not only from a cost perspective but also from a life safety, employee/member environment and the
disruption of multiple businesses/residential and |and/bui|6ingva|ue standpoint, The 48th Ave So.
option already houses a street with truck yard access and would be a much easier way to execute on
this initiative. While | know this still impacts some, itisthe reasonable choice and should beadopted.
| am not only a Tukwila resident but also a Tukwila business owner that would be greatly affected by
the "preferred" route of 48th AVE I The overall impact on the businesses along this route would be
devastating, People are already frustrated with the current amount ofbig trucks coming along 48th.
We are already lacking suitable gas stations in Tukwila. Please don't make them impossible toget to.
Tukwila is a growing city and the north side (Airport way) of it is already industrial. Interurban Ave is an
incredibly popular thoroughfare for many people going south/north and the 2 gas stations on 48th Ave
services more than half of those people. Please reconsider 112th or Airport way as the better
alternative that will impact our growing city the least amount. Thank you.
I am very happy that the city is analyzing other options for the truck route into the BNSF yard. The
current route is not sustainable, My family prefers the 48th 4v S option since it uses an existing
commercial street and is least impartfo|to residential communities and the environment. |vvou|d like
you to heavily factor in the environmental impacts the other two northerly options would have on
wetlands and existing greenspaces.Will the Airport Way option impede future Light rail/Sounder
station location planning efforts? How will the different entrance options impact yard operations?
Currently, the 8NSF yard isvery noisy 24/7 with backup beepers. Will these operations shift or
diminish with the varying options? Can the city proceed with pursuing the noise wall installation along
the railyard boundary? I think this will make a significant improvement to the quality of life in
Duvvamishand Allentown. thank you

understand there will besignificant traffic impact during construction. | don't think we're overly
concerned about that. However, |'d like a little more information onthe traffic study orestimates on
additional traffic impact on481hAve. South after completion ofthe project, Also, will there beany
improvements done to the 48th Ave road itself? Finally, is there something I'm missing that you think

Tukwila BNIFAccess Study — Preferred Alternative Outreach Summary

I wish that this 124th St. access be change to a different access ASAP because we moved here in a new
home development last year 2016 of Sept. which we are not aware about this 124th St. right beside
our house is the major access for truckers. We encountered 24-7 of a massive vibration like an
earthquake multiple times everyday and we felt scary that our house may collapse one of this day. So
far we had a multiple long cracks in our garage and hopefully will not affect the foundation. We live
right by the stop sign where those truckers heading out from BNSF gate and also for coming in. That
really distract us everyday. There's a time when some of the truck driver lost their focus on the stop
sign especially in the evening and they made an emergency brakes and it shakes the ground so bad and
it vibrates our house also. I Believe that 48th Ave S is the best alternatives route for the truckers.
I work at BECU. The Gateway alternative would have a negative impact on our members who come
into our Tukwila Financial Center to conduct their personal business (primarily retail banking, trust
services, and investment services). We are about to engage on a Gateway campus upgrade and a truck
route cutting through the middle of it would have a negative impact on our employee experience and
may have a negative impact on our ability to recruit and retain employees. Given the existing land use
abutting most of your preferred alternative (gas stations, commercial, etc.). I can see the potential
noise downside for a hotel (but it's already next To 1-5 and a busy off ramp so marginal impact seems
moderate).
I would like to avoid having another bridge over the river and prefer this option: S 112th Street Thank
you.
Thank you for considering all options and explaining the reasoning. What timeframe are you looking at
for construction of the new bridge and roadway. What impact will there be on the existing Interurban
Bike/Walking Trail both during construction and upon completion. Will traffic studies be done to work
on minimalizing impact at the intersection for traffic on Interurban and from the off ramp on 15?
This route makes the most sense as it is a quick, direct route off of 1-5, drives through a commercial
area only and does not affect the public's experience of their greenspace, except for a small segment
of the bike trail. I fully support this preferred route.
What are the costs? How it will be funded?

Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes June 18, 2019
need for a Solid Waste Utility Tax given current economic conditions." Mr. Hansen and Ms. Reay
addressed the Committee, and both mentioned appreciating the change to the stepped increase
over two years. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL AS AMENDED. FORWARD TO JULY 8, 2019 COMMITTEE
OF THE WHOLE.
BNSF Intermodal Facility Access Project Update
Committee members and staff discussed the status of the BNSF Intermodal Access Study, which
was funded jointly by the City and BNSF in 2015 and resulted in a draft report issued in 2016 that
identified the 48th Avenue South Bridge as the preferred alternative. Because the construction
estimates in the draft study are out of date, staff proposes to contract with David Evans and
Associates to update the numbers and finalize the report at an estimated cost of up to $15,000. The
construction estimates developed in 2017 were approximately $20 million but in today's numbers
could be as high as $34 million. Councilmember Kruller asked for a copy of the original contract in
order to review the scope and deliverables, expressing surprise that the City never received a final
report. Staff pointed out that it was during this same time period that the 42nd Avenue South Bridge
had been determined to be structurally deficient and as a result took greater priority regarding
determination of a funding strategy. Chair Idan stated that he would like the Committee to make
a recommendation to the full Council on the preferred location, and funding discussions could
come later. He feels it would be good for staff and impacted stakeholders to have certainty around
the location. Committee members agreed to forward the update to the Committee of the Whole
with a recommendation that staff identify funding to complete the study in an amount not to
exceed $15,000. FORWARD TO JUNE 24, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
III. SCATBd/RTC
Councilmember Hougardyattends SCATBd and RTC and reports on both at City Council meetings.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS
53rd Avenue South Street Parking
Some Councilmembershave asked that staff address public confusion around street parking on 53rd
Avenue South. Prior to construction, there was room, but the new street design does not allow for on -
street parking except in one` specific area near South 140th Street. Councilmember McLeod asked if signs
could be "installed. Engineering standards do not indicate a need for signage, nor does the Police
Department need them for enforcement. Staff recommends allowing construction to complete and if
on -street parking continues to be a problem, signs will be considered. Councilmember Kruller requested
that the neighborhood be informed via flyers. Chair Idan stated that he feels people will quickly adapt
and not much outreach is needed. He suggested posting on Tukwila Talk and other neighborhood news
groups.
Speed Cushions on 53rd Avenue South
The Council has received public comment inquiring why 53rd Avenue South only has two speed cushions.
City staff installed them but used the design that KPG had created during construction. The Council was
notified of the design last summer. Staff suggests allowing construction to complete and then collecting
data to measure their effectiveness. Factors impacting the placement of speed cushions include
mailboxes, driveways, and street geometry. Councilmember McLeod asked if the same standards were
used to determine placement on South 160th Street. Councilmember Kruller asked where a speed
cushion that was removed from South 160th Street was relocated. Staff will follow up.
