BACKGROUND At the January 3, 2022 Council meeting, residents provided public comments regarding various Allentown projects and issues. Allentown is a community annexed into Tukwila in the 1980's from unincorporated King County. Since the incorporation into Tukwila, several improvements were undertaken in the Allentown neighborhood. Please see Attachment A regarding the neighborhood projects undertaken; with notable projects being water, sewer, and small drainage projects, and sidewalks on 42nd Ave S, for a total cost of approximately $33,900,000 between 1989 and June of 2021. Attachment A also includes projects and expenses for all Tukwila neighborhoods to highlight work completed throughout the City and illustrate how funds are being allocated. Various guardrail projects were also completed along the river in Allentown, which are highlighted in Attachment B. The City has been considering access alternatives for the trucks since the late 1990's. No preferred alternative route has been selected. The goal of an alternative route has always been to improve the quality of life for residents in the Allentown and Duwamish communities, and the surrounding areas, which are impacted by the estimated 3,000 trucks per day (of the total 10,000 vehicles per day) which use the current route (status quo) on S. 124th St. and the 42nd Ave. S. bridge to access the BNSF intermodal yard. These trucks impact air quality, noise, and the safety of residents. A common goal shared by the City and community is to move this truck traffic out of the residential area. Selecting and creating an alternative route into the BNSF intermodal yard has several challenges due to overall costs, lack of funding options for an alternative route, environmental concerns, and potential litigation. Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") on all four alternative routes as compared to the status quo / "no action" alternative is recommended prior to choosing a preferred route. An EIS is intended to be an impartial tool to identify and analyze probable adverse environmental impacts, reasonable alternatives, and possible mitigation for the impacts. An EIS is required when significant adverse environmental impacts are likely from a project, such as here, where two of the alternatives involve a new bridge across a salmon bearing river. If a full scope EIS is undertaken, all the alternatives in the 2016 Draft BNSF Access Study would be analyzed, including the following four alternatives along with the status quo (S. 124th St. and 42nd Ave. S. bridge). 1 Airport Way S. 3 Gateway Drive - north leg 2 S. 112th Street 4 48th Avenue S. 31 Map of the study area and alternatives routes Environmental Elements Considered for EIS Analysis 1.

Historic and Cultural Preservation 14. Transportation 15. Public Services 16. Utilities Phone; 206-433-1800 • Email; Mayor TukwilaWA,gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 32 Scoping is the first step in the EIS process. The purpose of scoping is to narrow the focus of the EIS to significant environmental issues, eliminate insignificant impacts from detailed study, and identify alternatives to be analyzed in the EIS. Scoping also provides notice to the public and other agencies that an EIS is being prepared and initiates their involvement in the process. The result of the scoping process might be a reduced number of access alternatives and/or environmental elements to be studied. While a narrower document will reduce costs, one that does not fully consider environmental impacts may be more vulnerable to legal challenge. EIS Schedule Staff outlines the following schedule: 3rd Quarter of 2021 Identify Project Funding 3rd and 4th Quarter of 2021 Hire Term -Limited Project Manager 41h Quarter of 2021 Begin monthly progress meetings with the Allentom Community 1St Quarter of 2022 Start Request for Qualifications process for EIS consultant, select consultant, and bring contract to Council for approva 2nd Quarter of 2022 Start the EIS 41h Quarter 2023 Complete the EIS and report to Council and the Allentow Community 42nd Ave S Bridge In addition to the above projects, a significant amount of work has been done on the 42nd Ave S Bridge, including inspections, maintenance, and repairs, 30% design, and a Type Size & Location (TS&L) report. Please see Attachment F for more detailed information and expenses related to this project. DISCUSSION Due to the recent 42nd Ave S Bridge impact and repairs, various concerns were expressed via public comment and e-mail regarding Allentown projects. Staff captured the questions in Attachment C and have provided answers to the questions that can be immediately answered. The remaining questions require further research and additional answers will be brought forward at future meetings, including the available options to open the bridge to traffic. Conversations with Council regarding Allentown projects will continue. Since the beginning of the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement project, the City has been in communication with the Allentown neighborhood.

Several areas of the river bank along 42nd Avenue South and South 115th Street are being recommended for guardrail or barrier installation and/or upgrades and modifications. Most of the areas analyzed in the report would benefit from beam guardrail type 31. Existing concrete barriers are recommended to be removed and replaced due to being unrestrained, their proximity to the edge of pavement, and erosion under the base. The total project cost estimate for all recommendations is $366,480. The report also included short-term safety improvement recommendations, which are not figured into the total cost. Committee members asked clarifying questions about definitions and barrier types. The committee packet includes a draft CIP sheet that reflects staff's proposal to spread the cost and the construction over the next six years to minimize the impact to the Residential Street Fund (103 Fund). Committee members requested that staff prepare a proposal that would reflect a compressed schedule allowing construction to be completed sooner but having more immediate financial impact. Committee Chair Kruller mentioned there are specific areas vulnerable to the illegal dumping of vehicles and requested interdepartmental efforts to combat this. INFORMATION ONLY. 2. 11/24/14 Committee: http://records.tukwilawa.gov/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=249703&dbid=1 42nd Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project Update Staff provided an update on the 42nd Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project, which was initiated to study guardrail and/or barrier warrants along the Duwamish River adjacent to 42nd Avenue South and South 115th Street. The goal is to prevent accidents in which vehicles go into the river, reducing illegal dumping of vehicles, and to provide additional security for large fire apparatus on narrow streets. The technical analysis is complete and the design is underway at approximately 30% completion. Several areas of the river bank are being recommended for guardrails and/or barriers as a result. Grant funding for construction of the entire recommendation has been applied for with the results expected next month. If the grant application is unsuccessful, City funds will be used to construct the improvements over multiple years. Construction of all recommended guardrail and barrier installations is currently estimated at $299,970, with total project cost estimated at $344,465. Four residents of the Allentown neighborhood addressed the Committee to express concerns about the obstruction of river views and other adverse impacts to the neighborhoods. They inquired about alternate safety solutions or less obstructive barriers. Staff informed Committee that any barrier that is used must be crash tested and conform to engineering standards. Following Committee discussion, Chair Ekberg requested additional community outreach and any resulting feedback as well as potential alternative designs be brought back to Committee when appropriate. INFORMATION ONLY. 47 3. 4/6/15 Committee: http://records.tukwilawa.gov/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=257617&dbid=1 42nd Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project Update The 42nd Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project was initiated to study guardrail and/or barrier warrants along the Duwamish River adjacent to 42nd Avenue South and South 115th Street. The goal is to prevent accidents in which vehicles go into the river, reduce illegal dumping of vehicles, and to provide additional security for large fire apparatus on narrow streets. The 30% design involving guardrails and Jersey barriers was presented at the November 24, 2014 Transportation Committee, and following that discussion in which four residents expressed concerns about the aesthetics of the proposal, staff was asked to return with potential design alternatives. To follow upon this request, staff reviewed the current list of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved options and identified two additional options in place of the W beam guardrail: Option A, TimBarrier wood guardrail, and Option B, timber backed steel. Anchored concrete Jersey barrier is still proposed in certain locations where underlying utilities prohibit the installation of guardrail posts. If an alternative is desired in those locations, utilities will need to be relocated at additional cost. The estimated costs for construction of the current 30% design is $299,970. Since grant funding was not successful, the improvements will need to be constructed over multiple years as budget allows. The 2015 construction budget is $70,000. Option A is estimated to cost an additional 10-13% (around 30-40K) and does not include crashworthy end treatment. Option B is estimated to cost an additional 40% (around 120K). Based on the current budget and the costs and challenges associated with other options, staff recommends proceeding with the project as currently designed. Councilmembers and staff discussed the options, although no Council decision is being asked at this time. City Administrator Cline noted an upcoming community meeting in the Allentown neighborhood and suggested that staff provide an information table on this issue and solicit community input and feedback on barrier options. INFORMATION ONLY. 4. 6/15/15 Committee: http://records.tukwilawa.gov/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=258680&dbid=1 42"d Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project Status Update Staff provided an update on 42nd Avenue South/Allentown Roadside Barrier Project, which was last before the Committee on April 6, 2015. This project was initiated to study guardrail and/or barrier warrants along the Duwamish River adjacent to 42nd Avenue South and South 115th Street, in order to prevent accidents, reduce illegal dumping, and provide security for large fire apparatus. Several areas of the riverbank are being recommended for guardrails or barriers. Originally these barriers were to be steel and concrete, but based upon community feedback on the aesthetics of these options, a revised plan has been prepared that proposes the use of timber guardrail at all new barrier locations. In addition, replacement of existing concrete or steel barriers with timber guardrail will be considered. Use of timber guardrails will increase the total cost of the project. The estimated construction cost for the original plan based upon 30% design was $299,970.00, and with timber guardrail the estimated construction cost becomes $470,000.00. The revised plan also includes increased costs due to waterline 48 and communication relocation. The estimated total project cost is $540,500.00. The funding level for 2015 includes $60,000 for construction and $10,000 for construction management. Staff has identified and intends to proceed with Phase 1 of this project which can be completed within this budget. Additional funding will need to be identified and approved by Council before additional phases can be constructed using the timber guardrail. INFORMATION ONLY. 49 50 Attachment C - Responses to Comments/Questions (1/3/22 and 1/10/22 Council Meetings) 51 Question/Comment Response 1. Weight & speed restrictions are not being enforced. Weight restrictions are observed by the truck axel configuration. No loading or weighing tickets are necessary to implement at this stage. Tukwila PD patrols 42' Ave and S 124th Street, and issues tickets when violations are witnessed, when resources are available. 2. BNSF should develop an emergency route on the north side of railyard. This statement should be directed to BNSF, and staff will share this comment with them. 3. Trucks were illegally using 42nd Avenue South as a detour. Signs are clearly posted. Tukwila PD patrols 42nd Ave and S 124th Street, and issues tickets when violations are witnessed, when resources are available. 4. BNSF were consulted about the bridge rebuild before neighborhood. The City strives to communicate with all neighborhood stakeholders, and we value the viewpoints of our residents. Because of this, the city terminated the contract of the sub -consultant outreach team due to them not reaching out to the residents in their initial strategy. After that, the city significantly increased direct outreach to the residents, including hosting a town hall and implementing monthly meetings. 5. Doesn't TranTech have a conflict of interest by providing 30% design and being allowed to make inspection decisions? TranTech is a professional bridge engineering firm and was selected as the design firm in a competitive process due to their expertise on bridges. Inspection decisions are made in a collaborative process that includes King County Bridge Inspectors and City staff. 6. The 30% design was done without community's knowledge. Council deliberations are done in a transparent, public process with strict public notice requirements. All related documents, memos, minutes, reports, and videos have been available on the city website and emailed to subscribers. The 30% design process is a year-long, iterative process that does involve the community and all stakeholders. Further, the draft 30% design report (Type, Size and Location — TS&L) will be shared with the community at an upcoming meeting before it is finalized. 7. Barriers at S 124th Street & 42nd Ave S intersection needed to be extended, and instead of the wooden guardrails requested, the city added jersey barriers to the 25- year-old ones. These are ugly, different colored, not straight, which shows lack of effort and minimal expenditure. Staff reviewed the request with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), including crash data, speed data available at the intersection, and made a technical determination on the placement of these jersey barriers. When weather permits (no rain or snow and higher temperatures) common paint color will be applied to improve the aesthetics. Wooden barriers near a T - intersection are not the standard practice. 51 52 The December closure resulted in accidents, speeding cars and semis on 42nd Ave S, congestion in Allentown and Duwamish, no traffic control, poor signage. Staff reviewed the conditions after the bridge closure with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), including crash data, speed data available at the intersection, and made a technical determination on the placement of the detour signs, and adjusted them as needed in the days after. 9. When will the neighborhood see the inspection report? The final inspection report post -repair will be available in the next 4-6 weeks. 10. City must make the bridge and truck reroute a priority, and the Council also has a role in the solution. The City shares the neighborhood's goal of getting the trucks out of the neighborhood. The city is moving forward with the EIS with City Council support, which allocated $1.2 million for the EIS. The timeline has been publicly shared and provided to those interested. 11. Councilmembers and staff have not joined the Allentown Advocates FB page. City staff must have limited engagement with social media due to public records law; public information officers generally have more flexibility with written policies in place. The Allentown Advocates group is public and posts are visible without membership; City staff does review the Allentown Advocates FB page. 12. The closure had significant impacts on residents near Codiga Park/50t" Place South. Trucks were unable to control their speed coming down the hill. The Codiga park bridge is owned by WSDOT and staff has reached out to WSDOT to share the concerns presented by residents. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) does not enforce speed limits. King County police department provides enforcement. 13. Passenger vehicles were speeding and passing trucks, and I only saw one patrol car. Tukwila PD is patrolling and issuing tickets when resources are available. 14. The City seems to be no closer to an emergency reroute plan. The emergency reroute plan will depend on the type of emergency and the overall scale of the emergency. Reroute plans will be prepared as needed and executed accordingly. The plan has been consistent — when 42nd Ave S. Bridge has been closed, due to testing or bridge strike, trucks are rerouted over S. 129th Bridge and residential vehicles are rerouted onto S. 115th 15. Does the bridge have a lower safety rating following the December accident? The Sufficiency Rating will be recalculated in the next 4-6 weeks. 16. The City should be able to complete an EIS in under 2 years. EIS is a responsive process. The timeline depends on the number of responses and legal challenges we receive from property owners, residents, and businesses throughout the process. 52 17. Airport way maintenance road could be developed for emergencies. Staff has communicated this to BNSF on various occasions, but the City cannot mandate a change. Federal authority has jurisdiction over rail service and expressly preempts state and local governments from interfering with railroad operations. 18. Can the jersey barriers in Foster Point neighborhood be moved to make way for Baker Commodities trucks? This will only reroute a portion of the truck traffic through another residential part of the neighborhood. The roads and subgrade and turning radius are similar issues that need to be resolved for this to be a permanent solution. 19. When will Allentown receive speed humps? The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is studying S 124th Street and other parts of Allentown. More details will come once the report findings are finalized. We are anticipating the construction to be done in the summer of 2022. 20. When will the city assist in negotiations to relocate SCL telephone pole storage? Staff met with SCL representatives four or five years ago to attempt to have them move the pole storage area to another site. At that time, they indicated they would not entertain the suggestion to move the pole storage. Because this use is on SCL right of way, and they are a municipal corporation, the City has no authority to force SCL to move the poles. City staff will reengage with SCL due to the neighborhood's concerns. 21. The City Council and staff need to come to the community. City staff has been conducting open meetings with and in Allentown since March 2021 on a regular basis. These meetings have now converted to monthly frequency. Councilmembers attend periodically, although have to heed public meeting laws. 22. Was the truck (that caused the damage) over -weight? Based on the police report of the impact, the truck is an over -height truck, not an over -load truck. The truck is not affiliated with BNSF, nor its vendors. It was going to Sunset Machinery in the MLK neighborhood of Renton. The load was not a secured load. It visibly contained scrap material and an over -height compartment. Based on photos we saw, it was an open flatbed truck and not a fully encompassed container truck. 23. Do we have any truck over -load violations in the last few years? PD has not observed or issued any over -weight citations in the last few years. 24. Can the City involve WSDOT in enforcement? Can we send a strong message in collaboration with WSDOT regarding city/community expectations for trucks? Staff has reached out to WSDOT and WSDOT is fully aware of the truck movements. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) does not enforce speed limits. King County police department provides enforcement. 53 25. The Council and community must Railroad operations are regulated at the federal level have an understanding of Federal which preempts state and local laws and regulatory Preemption and how it relates to the efforts. City's ability to influence BNSF operations. 26. Can the City disallow trucks from Staff is evaluating the next steps after the repairs to the using the 42nd Ave S Bridge once its opened, in light of the rating, emergency condition, and recent incident? If so, there should also be a neighborhood mitigation plan. bridge and the inspections. Staff will look at all options, including a neighborhood mitigation plan. 54 ATTACHMENT D Allentown Truck Reroute Monthly Meetings Shared Goals & Guiding Principles Shared Goals • Work together to get the trucks out of the Allentown neighborhood • Neighborhood receives timely, relevant information on the alternative access project • Community members understand the process, next steps and timeline • City is transparent throughout process • Neighborhood has a regular opportunity to directly speak with City staff on the project; provide timely, relevant feedback • Continue to forge relationships between community members and City staff to incorporate neighborhood feedback and understand neighborhood expectations • Opportunity to provide information to neighborhood on other projects affecting Allentown Guiding Principles • Assume others are acting with good intent • Be honest and transparent, but kind; empathize with others • Step up and step back, depending on personality type • Remain open-minded • Respect differing views • Learn from each other • Think about who's not at the table • Promote a culture of participation • Once a decision is made, work towards shared goals 55 56 ATTACHMENT E Allentown Truck Reroute Project Monthly Updates Interested in learning more about the Allentown Truck Reroute project?

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) require regularly scheduled inspections of all the City's vehicle -carrying bridge structures, which are on two-year inspection cycles. Tukwila maintains these with the help of King County. Depending on the key findings, repairs are made, and grant opportunities are pursued. Public Works produces a bridge report and presents it to the Council every year. The 42"d Ave S Bridge was built in 1949 and is reaching the end of its useful life. Built to last 75 years, it turned 72 years old in 2021. The 42nd Ave S. bridge is a critical bridge and infrastructure link that serves an important residential community, Allentown, key community assets such as the Tukwila Community Center (TCC), several businesses, and is a key link to other nearby communities such as Skyway. The Bridge currently is used by approximately 10,000 vehicles per day. The following are major project or events undertaken on the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement: Date Activity 2015 • City receives updated rating of bridge with a sufficiency rate of 17.29 March 2017 • City's Bridge Inspection Report stated 42nd Ave S Bridge had Sufficiency Rating of 19.44 and recommended replacement or rehabilitation.
