BACKGROUND Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) owns an Intermodal facility that transports containers from trucks to railroad and vice versa. This facility is located within the Tukwila City Limits in Allentown community. The intermodal facility is adjacent to Interstate 5 (1-5) and just south of King county international airport, also known as Boeing field. BNSF calls this facility South Seattle yard. City of Tukwila and BNSF jointly funded a study conducted by David Evans, Associates in March of 2015. The study produced a draft report in November of 2016. As part of this study Open houses were conducted and community input was collected. The following 5 alternatives were studied at that time: 1. S 112' Street 2. Airport Way 3. S 124th Street 4. Gateway Drive- north leg 5. 48t" Ave S In 2021, Council allocated $1.3 million to hire a project manager and consultant to produce an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), updated cost estimates and more robust community engagement. In December 2022, HDR Inc. began work on the Allentown Truck Reroute EIS. The project objective is to consider alternative routes for the freight truck traffic that accesses the BNSF multi -modal facility through the Allentown neighborhood, causing adverse effects such as noise, vibration, vehicle emissions, surface water pollution, and unsafe conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists. HDR studied the original five options and produced a set of slightly revised alternatives for the City to consider: 1. S 112" Street 2. Airport Way S 3. 48' Ave S or alternative 4. MLK Jr Way & 129" St Bridge 5. New elevated roadway to S 129' St ANALYSIS The project team evaluated the five truck reroute alternatives. This involved incorporating newly acquired information from BNSF into the alternative designs, reassessing how well each of these Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 9 Title or Addressee Date Page 2 revised alternatives aligns with our project objectives, and determining the feasibility of each alternative — that is, whether it can be constructed, permitted, and funded, while also addressing the needs of both the City and Allentown. As part of our evaluation of the alternatives, we have concluded that two of them, Alternative 1 and Alternative 5, are not feasible for the following reasons: Alternative 1 - extending east from S 112th St in the Seattle City Light utility corridor: • Seattle City Light's recent statement that they will not permit the city to use the utility corridor. • The proposed location for the gateway for freight trucks would conflict with BNSF's essential operations. • The route would have adverse impacts on wetlands. • There is potential for disturbance to archaeological resources. • The route's proximity to the Duwamish Hill Preserve would likely lead to noise and aesthetic impacts. Alternative 5 - entering the BNSF facility via a new elevated roadway connecting to the S 129th St. Bridge: • The proposed elevated roadway crossing over BNSF's facility would require a support column, which would conflict with railway operations and hinder track reconfiguration. • The construction process for the elevated roadway would require substantial disruption to BNSF operations over an extended period. The project team has further developed the design of the three remaining alternatives and provided updated cost estimates. NEXT STEPS The project team will continue to assess the 3 remaining alternatives moving forward to the preferred most defensible alternative. The team will take the information and start the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) protocol. RECOMMENDATION Discussion Only.
